Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1027

When Sonia placed some food on his plate, Toby felt that his heart was about to melt into a puddle. It was all because of the food she prepared. At first, he had guessed that she suddenly cooked so much because she had an occasion that she wanted to celebrate with him. For example, getting the spare parts back was a good thing that was worth celebrating. For this reason, he was even going to suggest opening a bottle of wine.

However, she told him later on that she cooked so much not because she wanted to celebrate anything, but to make it up to him. She felt that he had left his work to accompany her during this period of time, which had caused him to fall behind in many things, and she was feeling guilty about it, which was why she prepared a feast to cheer him up.

In any case, she had prepared an entire table of food just for him. How could he not feel moved by that? In fact, he was so moved that he wanted to carry her back to the room and kiss her fiercely to show her how he felt. However, they hadn't eaten yet, so he could only suppress this thought. After all, eating was more important, and it wasn't good for their health to skip a meal.

"I don't need to try it to know that it tastes good." Toby looked at the woman opposite him with a smile.

Sonia glared at him playfully. "Stop spouting nonsense. You haven't even tasted it yet."

"Even though I haven't tried it, I know it. I've always been confident in your skills, just like the way you believe in mine." Saying that, he picked up his utensils.

He wasn't just uttering these sweet words to make her happy. He meant everything he said. Although she had never studied cooking properly, her skills were sharpened by Jean's pickiness in the six years. Hence, she was quite good at cooking.

"All you can do is talk. Hurry up and eat." Sonia rolled her eyes at him, but there was a sweet smile on her face.

After all, she wouldn't be unhappy by the fact that he thought her cooking tasted good.

She picked up the soup ladle and served him another bowl of soup. "You should drink more of this soup. I made it for you. You're usually much busier than me, so you must feel much more physically exhausted than me. This soup can help to tone your body, so it's good for you to drink it." "All right." Toby took the bowl of soup with a gentle expression. "What about you? You should drink some too."

"I'm fine. I..."

"No." Toby pursed his lips and said in a serious tone, "Since it's good for the body, you should drink some too. I can't just tone my body alone."

Saying that, he placed his bowl down and filled another for her. He had already placed the bowl of soup in front of her, so she had no reason not to drink it.

Sonia took the bowl from him, not knowing if she should laugh or cry.

"All right, I’ll drink it."

"That's more like it." Toby lifted his chin and picked up his spoon as he began to drink the soup. It did taste good.

"Oh, right." Suddenly recalling something, Sonia stopped eating and looked at him. "Connor has already sent the spare parts back. Were you the one who went to him and made him give them up?"

Hearing that, Toby placed his spoon down and lifted his head. "It was me." He admitted it boldly.

Sonia bit on her lip. "As expected, I knew it was you. No one could do this except you, but... How did you know about Connor taking the spare parts from Paradigm Co.? I never told you about it. Did you really plant a spy in my company again?"

"Again?" Toby's eyes narrowed. "Who told you that I planted a spy in Paradigm Co ? Or did you doubt me on your own accord?"

Either way, it made him feel a little uncomfortable. If it were the former, it meant that there was someone trying to get in the way of their relationship, but if it was the latter, it showed that she didn't trust him.

Spotting the displeasure on Toby's face, Sonia knew that her suspicion had made him unhappy. After all, no one would be happy to be suspected.

"I guessed it myself." Sonia lowered her eyes, not revealing that it was Charles who made her think that way. If she did, he would probably get jealous again, so it was better for her to hide this fact in order to save herself from more trouble.

"Why did you think that I planted a spy?" Toby looked at her.

Sonia took a sip of the juice before replying, "When I treated Charles for lunch today, you knew about it even though I hadn't told you anything. I also hadn't told you about the interception of Paradigm Co.'s spare parts, but you also knew about it, so I had no choice but to wonder if you had planted a spy in my company again to report everything I did to you."

"Your words do make sense." Toby raised his chin slightly. "However, I did not plant a spy in your company. When you told me to get rid of the men I had planted in Paradigm Co., I did as you said, and ever since then, I don't have any spies in your company anymore. As for how I knew you and Charles were going out for lunch, and how I knew that Paradigm Co.'s parts had been intercepted, it was all a coincidence. My men have been watching Connor and reporting his movements to me at

all times, which was how I learned that your company's parts were taken away. After that, it's obvious that I would monitor you. I wanted to see how you would solve this matter, so I naturally had to figure out who you have contacted and who you went to for help. After all, we are lovers, aren't we? Do I have to act like I don't know if something happened to you? Am I supposed to ignore it?"

As she faced the man's all-knowing eyes, Sonia's red lips twitched. "So that was the case. I thought... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Please don’t be angry at me."

She looked at him, her eyes filled with worry and guilt. She was ashamed and regretful of her doubts toward him. After all, they had promised to trust each other in the past, but this time, she had broken her promise...

Sensing Sonia's uneasiness, Toby sighed softly. "I'm not angry, and I don't care if you suspect me in these matters. After all, I do have a record, but there's something I'm really unhappy about. Do you know what it is?"

She shook her head to show that she This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

didn't know.

Toby rubbed his brows, before he looked at her intently. "What I'm really upset about is the way you're hiding everything from me. If you refuse to tell me when something this bad happens and would rather take the burden alone and ask outsiders for help instead of me, do you know how I would feel, Sonia Reed?"

The way he emphasized her name at the end of his sentence was enough to explain his anger about this matter. Sonia's expression froze. She hadn't heard him call her by her full name for a long time. She also understood that by using her full name, it meant that he was really angry with her.

Earlier that day, Brian and Charles had said that if Toby found out that she never told him anything nor asked him for help, he would definitely not be happy. She hadn't realized it back then, but now that she was looking at Toby, she was speechless. Charles and Brian really had been spot on about the worst that could happen.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Sonia bit her lip and was just about to apologize when Toby suddenly interrupted her. "Sonia, there’s something I want to know. Am I actually important to you?"

His gaze was extremely serious as he looked at her. He genuinely suspected that he didn't mean much to her.

All of a sudden, Sonia panicked and gripped her fork tightly. She instantly replied without even thinking about it, "Of course you are!"

If he wasn't important, she wouldn’t even think about preparing this meal to make up for her neglecting him recently. However, his doubtfulness made her a little sad. At the same time, she wondered if she had really done a bad job, causing him to doubt if she actually cared about him.
