Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 38

The man wore a black coat that accentuated his attraction. However, because of his naturally cold attitude and his distant gaze, it made people unable to get closer to him.

When Sonia’s eyes rested on his face, her heart could not help but skip a beat and she naturally lowered her head.

She did not expect that even after being divorced from him for such a long time, he still had an effect on her.

“President Fuller, you’ve arrived.” Even though Cynthia had been annoyed by Rebecca, Cynthia immediately greeted Toby with a smile when she saw him. “I heard from Tina that you are inundated with work. Are you here to pick her"

He hummed politely as a reply. When his gaze flitted past Sonia, he frowned in unhappiness. Has this woman forgotten about the lesson she learned at Sakura Heights?

When Zane called him half an hour ago and told him that Sonia and Tina were playing poker together in a room in Luna Club, Toby did not believe him. He knew that Sonia was quite bad at cards and thought that she would not be that silly to play with Tina.

Knowing that Toby might not believe him, Zane even sent a picture. It was only until Toby received the photographic evidence that he drove to the club.

He immediately walked to Tina and his tone softened when he saw her looking frail. “Didn’t you say in the afternoon you were coughing? Why are you here to play poker?”

She gave him a slight smile. “It’s just a slight cough. Don’t worry about it. On top of that, Melody is in Seafield, so I want to show her around.”

Toby knew about the Stryder Family in Norfolk and he was acquainted with Master Stryder.

Toby removed his scarf and wrapped it around Tina. Even though it was a tiny movement, it was enough to make the women around them gush.

Cynthia commented, “My, oh my, President Fuller. We all know that you care about Tina a lot, but the heater here is switched on. You’re just trying to show off your love for Tina in front of us.”

Upon hearing Cynthia’s teases, Tina blushed and she glared. “If you say one more word of nonsense, get out of here.”

“Alright. I won’t say anymore.”

When Sonia saw Toby carefully wrapping the scarf around Tina and him passing a warm drink the moment he sat next to Tina, their intimate behavior had caused Sonia’s eyes to hurt.

She had deliberately walked into Tina’s trap to punish her into leaving Toby and never returning to Seafield, but he had appeared.

After seeing how affectionate he had treated Tina, Sonia no longer had the desire to continue the battle.

Toby shot a glance at Tina’s cards and said coolly, “Miss Reed is not good at playing poker. Let’s forget it after this round. You guys won’t have much fun playing with a beginner like her too. I’ll play a few rounds with you instead.”

The smile on Tina’s face froze before she gently responded, “Okay.”

On the other hand, Cynthia continued to glance at Sonia’s deck of cards and realized that Sonia had a good chance of winning the round. As Cynthia was slightly worried, she was about to inform Tina when Sonia separated her set and placed a card out.

Upon seeing that, Tina was elated and she slowly revealed her cards as well. “Thank you, Miss Reed.”

“Wow! You are amazing, Tina! I can’t believe you have a royal flush!” Cynthia exclaimed agitatedly after seeing Tina’s cards.

“Sonia, Tina has already won three rounds. You have to concede defeat.” With a cold laugh, Melody pressed a button to ask the waiter to come into the room. Then, she passed him a stack of money. “Ask a tattoo artist to come here as soon as possible.” “Alright. Please wait for a moment.”

When Toby saw all these, he slightly frowned and asked Tina, “What is going on?”

“I heard from Tyler that Miss Reed has a tattoo bearing the abbreviation of your name..." Tina explained in a low voice after biting her lips. “Apart from that, she even insisted on betting with me. She said that if she lost the bet, she would remove the tattoo.”

Rebecca rested her chin on her hand while looking at Tina. “Miss Gray, you are the one who ran into President Reed at the restaurant’s entrance and asked whether she had a tattoo on her waist bearing the initials ‘TF’. You were also the one who asked her to bet with you over a round of poker. And now, you’re saying that President Reed wanted to bet with you? Oh, how good you are with words!” “Don’t be sarcastic!” Since Cynthia had support, she roared at Rebecca. “Tina doesn’t want her boyfriend’s name to be tattooed on another woman’s body. What’s wrong with that?”

“She merely asked whether Sonia wanted to play poker with her. It’s not like Tina aimed a gun at Sonia’s head to force her to agree.”

“That’s right. No one forced Sonia. She agreed to the bet on her own.”

Upon hearing that, Rebecca was speechless.
