Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 391

Tom came back with a doctor ? Did Toby fall sick ?

“Then I asked Tom what happened, and he said Mr. Fuller is down with mild food poisoning. So I got curious how that happened, since Tom should be taking care of him well. I followed them back to their suite and heard that he got food poisoning because he ate leftovers for dinner.” Rebecca was still laughing from the hilarity of the situation.

A multinational conglomerate’s boss got food poisoning because he had leftovers for dinner. Everyone’s going to laugh if they find out about this. The corner of Sonia’s lips twitched. She never expected Toby to fall sick because he ate the wrong thing. “Why did he have leftovers though?” Sonia was holding her forehead, but her eyes were all smiles.

Carl was the only one not smiling. In fact, he looked dark.

Rebecca heaved a sigh and calmed herself down before answering, “It’s actually because of you.”

“Me?” Sonia pointed at herself.

Rebecca nodded. “Mr. Fuller took the whole lunch for himself, but he couldn’t finish it, and he didn’t want to throw it away. That’s why he left it until dinner and asked the staff to reheat it. But since it’s the first time he has had leftovers, it was too much for his body, and he fell sick.”

Sonia arched her eyebrow. Wow, that’s a bizarre reason.

“Why did you order lunch for him, Sonia?” Carl suddenly asked with an upset voice.

Sonia noticed it, so she explained, “He ordered breakfast for me, so I paid him back.”

“You could have refused him.” Carl stared at her, his eyes glinting with a terrifying light. “So why didn’t you? I thought you said you didn’t love him anymore. I thought you wanted to get away from him, so why did you accept his offer? And why did you care how he got sick? Are you falling for him again?”

Sonia’s smile slowly froze up with every question asked, and she frowned in the end. She couldn’t see his face, but she was sure he was mentally and psychologically breaking down right now. “Now calm down, C—”

“Answer me, Sonia!” Carl interrupted before she could finish, then he pushed himself onto her, trying to pin her to the couch.

But before he could touch her, Rebecca stood up angrily and yanked Carl’s shirt collar from behind before tossing him to the couch across the table. “Calm down, kid.” She stood right before Sonia, giving Carl a warning look.

Carl was staring at the floor, so nobody could see his face.

Sonia grasped the air. When she touched

Rebecca’s hem, she held it tightly. “What is it, Rebecca? What happened?”

Rebecca turned around. “This kid got mad. He was about to force you to answer.

Sonia’s eyes widened in shock. “Carl...” She could guess why Carl succumbed to his demons. Judging from his questions, he thought Sonia fell for Toby again because she asked how Toby fell ill. That triggered him and caused a meltdown. Knowing that, Sonia sighed before answering, “I did not fall for him again, Carl. I asked those questions because I wanted to know why Rebecca was so amused. That’s all.”

Carl looked at her and opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he kept quiet in the end. Then, he stood up and said goodbye. Carl seemed a bit nervous and scared, probably because knew he almost hurt Sonia again.

Rebecca put her hands on her hips. “Hey, he’s the abuser here, and now he just ups and leaves?”
