Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 191

It’s already so late, so why are Zane and Sonia here together? And who’s the child between them? Toby thought.

“President Fuller, shall we go over and say hi?” Tom suggested cautiously after seeing them as well.

With a disappointed look, Toby replied, “There’s no need.”

Upon hearing this, Tom shrugged. Let’s leave then if there’s no need. Why bother staying to watch and make yourself upset?

Then, Tom adjusted his glasses and sighed. “The sight of Miss Reed and Mr. Coleman carrying the child makes them look like a family.”

A family. This deeply irritated Toby.

Instantaneously, his face darkened and his voice turned cold. “No, they don’t.”

Sensing the jealousy in Toby’s tone of voice, Tom smiled faintly. “They look very much like one to --

me.

Toby pressed his lips into a thin line. “I think you need to get a new pair of glasses.”

Tom pretended to not hear what Toby had said. “This has nothing to do with my glasses. I’m just speaking my thoughts. Besides, it’s already so late. Could they be on a date?” Tom coughed.

Hearing this, Toby narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. When Tom saw this, he adjusted his glasses again. “Oh, look. Miss Reed and Mr. Coleman are heading in. Looks like they’re really here on a date.” “Shut up!” Toby frowned and scolded Tom. Then, he started walking in Sonia and Zane s direction.

Right then, Tom chuckled as he watched Toby from behind. Didn’t you say that you didn’t want to go? It seems like all you needed was just a little provocation, Tom thought. With that, he followed.

In truth, Tom knew that Toby loved Sonia very much; that was why Toby got jealous when she was being so close with another man. However, Toby was still unaware of his feelings and did not know what his position or excuse was to forbid her from seeing other men. And that was why Tom helped Toby by provoking him.

Besides, he hoped that they would get back together because Tina was not worthy of Toby. Not because of her ancestry, but her character. He really did not want to see Toby and Tina together. Who knew what kinds of trouble she would cause Toby?

Just as Zane was about to tell Sonia about Douglas’ funny stories, he noticed a man walking toward them behind her. Confused, he raised his eyebrows. “Toby?”

As Sonia turned her head to look, she was surprised to see Toby standing there. It’s so late already. Why’s he here? Is he on a date with Tina?

Glancing at her, Toby nodded slightly in response to Zane’s greeting. Then, Zane carried Douglas out of Sonia’s arms. “Why are you here?”

“This amusement park was developed by the Fullers, and we recently plan on building an observatory here, so I came to inspect the surrounding night view to see if it’s a suitable expansion. You guys...” He squinted.

Before Sonia and Zane could reply, Douglas wrapped his arms around Zane’s neck and said, “Uncle Zane and Aunt Sonia are here on a date!”

Immediately, Toby’s face twisted into an ugly expression. Uncle Zane and Aunt Sonia? On a date? They’re really dating? He stared at Zane and Sonia in disbelief.

Puzzled by the astonished expression in his eyes, Sonia tilted her head in curiosity. Meanwhile, Zane understood very well. So, he explained, “No, don’t listen to the kid. He’s just spewing nonsense. Sonia and I came here to discuss something.”

He couldn’t just blurt out the fact that he was pursuing Sonia to him. What if she was frightened after knowing how he felt about her and refused to see him again?
