Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 462

Sonia looked at Charles' dark eyes that seemed to be able to see through her. Finally, as she couldn’t lie, she could only admit the truth. "Okay, I admit that I am a little angry at him. Charles, do all men like to speak halfway?"

"What do you mean?" Charles blinked.

She removed her hand from the window lock. "It means that you guys obviously want to say something, but when you say things halfway through, you suddenly stop after arousing other people's curiosity."

"So, that's it? You're upset over this little thing?" The corners of his mouth twitched.

"I just feel like I was being made fun of." She pursed her lips.

He looked at her with a serious expression. "Baby, don't you think you've been a little off these past two days?"

"Huh?" Sonia froze. "What's wrong?" "It's about Toby." Charles gripped the steering wheel and continued, "Since your divorce, your attitude toward Toby has always been indifferent. No matter what he did to catch your attention, you never bothered about him. However, for the past two days, haven’t you noticed that your mood swings are stronger when it’s about Toby and you’re much more concerned about him?"

When she heard this, her heart skipped a beat as she turned her gaze toward Charles. "How is it possible, Charles? You've misread the situation."

"I didn't. I’m sure of what I noticed. The evidence has also revealed itself just now." He pointed at her phone. "Before, even if Toby spoke halfway and what he said aroused your curiosity, you wouldn't be angry. You would only think he was crazy because you didn't care about him. That’s why you weren’t upset, but you’ve chosen to be angry now. What does this mean? It means that you're starting to care about him."

Sonia's pupils contracted for a moment. I care about Toby? No, this can't be! I no longer harbor any feelings for him since a long time ago, so how could I possibly care about him ?

As she thought about this, she took a deep breath to calm her inner turmoil before she said with a cold face, "Charles, I don't care about him. It's possible that I've been paying a tad bit too much attention to him for the past two days, but that's because he saved me, so my attitude toward him has naturally changed somewhat. If I still treated him indifferently like before, wouldn't I be an ungrateful woman?"

"Yes, Toby saved you. As your benefactor, you indeed should not be indifferent to him, but this does not mean that you need to care so much about him either. Sonia, are you using your kindness again to cover up the fact that you have started to care about Toby?" Charles stared at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her.

Sonia's heart sputtered for a moment before she clenched her fists and

retorted, "Of course not."

He narrowed his eyes. "Really?"

An angry Sonia retorted, “I don’t care whether you believe me or not. Charles, you’re not my father, so don’t interrogate me like I’m a suspect!”

Upon hearing the anger in her tone, Charles was also aware that he had overstepped his boundaries, so he hastily apologized, "Sorry, baby, I have no malice against you. I am also worried about you falling in love with Toby again, so that's why—"

"Why do you think I’ll fall in love with him again?" she asked with a frown.

With a sigh, he elaborated, "It’s because of the change in your attitude toward Toby over the past two days as well as him being your savior. He risked his life to save you, and that’s the easiest way to move a person’s heart. I don’t believe for once that your heart felt nothing when you saw Toby jumping off the cliff at that time.

Sonia’s lips twitched, but she couldn’t form the words to reply. Indeed, she was greatly shocked; the fact that not everyone would be able to jump off a cliff in spite of risking their own lives just to save someone else moved her. Carl, who proclaimed that he loved her, couldn’t bring himself to do it whereas Toby also said that he loved her and proved it through his actions. So, how could she not feel something inside her?
