Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 475

“Conflict?” Sonia frowned puzzledly.

“No.”

“Are you sure?” Zane clearly refused to believe her, but she nodded solemnly. “Of course not. But why the question?”

“It’s because of Toby’s attitude just now. It was too out of the norm.” Zane stared at the private dining room of the restaurant that Toby was dining at, squinted his eyes with a perplexed expression.

Sonia looked in the same direction.

“Yeah, he was acting a little weird.”

“Right?” Zane caressed his chin, looking like a pensive detective. “Normally, if he sees me walking close to you, he’d show up and wreak havoc around us because he wouldn’t allow you to be with any other man. He didn’t do that today. By the looks of it, he seemed happy to see us together.”

Sonia remained silent but bit her lower lip anxiously, for she had observed everything Zane told her, and it made her uneasy.

“Is that why you guessed that there was a conflict between me and him?” she questioned as she clenched her fists.

He nodded. “That’s right. If not, I can’t explain why Toby would act in such a way.

“That’s because he has let go,” Sonia looked at the ground as she muttered.

Zane was taken aback. “Let go?”

“I said Toby has given up on me. He won’t pursue me again.” She clenched her fists even tighter.

At her reply, Zane’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. “Are you serious?”

“Yes,” Sonia answered curtly.

By now, Zane’s mouth was wide open in shock. “How is that possible? Toby loves you so much. He’s also pretty aggressive.

Once he sets his eyes on something, he will never give up on it.”

“It’s definitely possible. He told me in person.” Sonia stared at him.

Toby had told her the truth on the day he woke up from the coma. He said that he would not pursue her and ask her to be with him anymore.

For some reason, Sonia recalled his words vividly. She should have been elated when the man she hated decided to stop bugging her, yet she did not feel happy at all. In reality, she even felt a little depressed, accompanied by some bitterness and a hint of inexplicable emotions.

Upon seeing the serious look in Sonia’s eyes, Zane finally believed that Toby had given up. However, the truth was more unbelievable and shocking for him.

“Did Toby really... give up? That’s...” His mouth opened and closed intermittently. Even after a while, he could not calm down at all.

He had a hunch that something must have happened for Toby to do something as impossible as giving up on Sonia.

“Alright, Zane, it’s late now. Gotta go.” She lifted her wrist to check the time on the watch.

Zane tried to put aside the shock and beamed at her. “I’ll send you home.”

“It’s okay. I’ll hail a cab. You’re heading in a different direction. If you send me home, it’d be too much trouble for you.”

After that, she walked to the side of the road and hailed a cab. She went into the cab and waved at him. “Bye.”

Her movement was quick and fluid, giving him no chance to object.

In the end, Zane could only sigh in defeat. “Goodbye then.”

Sonia rolled up her windows. “Let’s go.”

“Sure.” The cab driver shifted gears and cruised down the road.

Standing by the road and staring at the disappearing cab, Zane frowned as he fell into unreadable thoughts.

A moment later, he took out his phone and dialed Toby’s number.

“What’s up?” Toby’s deep voice came from the other end.
