Madam Escaped Again, Sir (Lillian Hawkins and Eric Walker) novel Chapter 58

This smells the same as the shower gel I got on my hands in the shower room. Why can I smell the scent of Sonia’s shower gel here, though? Unless, that shower gel is not hers to begin with. Before we went out, it was Tina who used this bathroom, which means that the owner of the shower gel caused Sonia to slip.

While grabbing the bathrobe in his hand tightly, Toby fixed his cold eyes on a bottle of shower gel in the toilet cabinet. The bottle was transparent, so he could clearly see that there was less than half of the shower gel left inside.

As for where the other half had gone, the answer was obvious.

With a terrifying expression, he threw aside the bathrobe in his hand and walked out of the bathroom.

Outside in the living room, Tina was sitting on the couch and talking to Jean on the phone. When she heard his footsteps, she lifted her eyes and saw the man’s cold face. Immediately, she felt a thump inside her heart, but she still managed to force a smile on her face. “Toby, you are done showering?”

Why is he staring at me with such terrifying eyes?

“Tina, why aren’t you saying anything?” Jean’s loud voice could be heard over the phone.

After calming herself down, Tina smiled and replied, “Madam White, it’s getting late. You need to get some rest, so we’ll just have to stop here for now. See you next time!”

Then, Tina hung up and put the phone back onto the coffee table. As she got up and approached Toby, she could feel his eyes getting more and more terrifying the more she got

closer to him.

Deep down, she felt worried but she still remained calm on the surface.

“Toby, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?” She went up to him and tried to lean against his chest.

With his head down, Toby glanced at her before taking a step back.

Therefore, she stumbled and almost fell to the floor, so she looked at him in shock. “Toby—”

“Was it you who caused Sonia to fall in the shower room?” He cut off her words while his expression grew colder.

Immediately, Tina’s eyes narrowed but she didn’t have time to wonder how he ended up suspecting her, so she kept on shaking her head.

“Of course not! Toby, do you really think I would do such a thing?”

She looked as though she couldn’t accept his misunderstanding and her face was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Initially, she thought that by doing so, Toby would coax her as usual to prevent her from getting angry.

This time, however, the man did nothing as he stood there and stared at her. Not only were his eyes full of disappointment, there was also a surge of complex emotions that no one could understand.

“You still won’t admit to it? Do you really think I’m suspecting you out of the blue? If I didn’t have any definite evidence, I wouldn’t ask you this question.”

Definite evidence? Tina’s expression instantly changed since she knew that he wouldn’t lie to her. Looks like he actually has evidence.

She panicked and her eyes were filled with fear. “Toby, I—”

Again, he cut off her words. “The thing that caused Sonia to slip was the large pool of shower gel on the floor, and that shower gel has the same scent as yours. All of your shower gels are custom-made, which means there can’t be another one in the world with the same scent. Also, when you came here, all of the items you bought with you were new and unopened but for some reason, half of your shower gel has been used. This evidence is enough to prove that it was you who did it.” After that, he looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger and asked the question that he always had inside his heart. “Tina, are you really that kind and innocent girl who wrote all those letters to me back then?”

The moment she heard his question, her body froze while her hands and feet became cold. What should I do? He is starting to suspect my identity! This won’t do. I must quickly dispel his suspicions; otherwise, it’ll be all over for me.

As the light in her eyes flicked, she suddenly bit her lips and cried. “I’m sorry, Toby. I was wrong.

m sorry!

She then started coughing, so much so that her face turned red and her body trembled slightly, as if she was about to pass out at any time.

Seeing how feeble she looked, Toby felt his heart go soft, so he patted her back to help regulate her breathing. “I’m not the one you should apologize to.”

“Yes. I’ll apologize to Miss Reed tomorrow.” She grabbed his arm and shook it like a spoiled child. “Toby, can you please forgive me?”
