Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 922

Why didn't I realize that he’s so good at bullsh*tting? Still, he's kind of funny like this.

At the thought of that, Sonia burst into laughter.

When Toby saw her laughing, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Why is she laughing out of nowhere?

Sonia gave him a coquettish look. "What do you think?"

"I don't know." Toby shook his head as he really didn't know.

Wasn't she still angry at me just a few seconds ago? Why did she suddenly burst into laughter? The shift in her mood has happened so rapidly that I don't even know what's happening.

Noticing the confused look on the man’s face, Sonia harrumphed. "Good for you. I'm not going to tell you why since you refused to let me down when I asked you to. This is my punishment to you. Hmph!"

Then, she spun around to stare outside from the car window while

Toby was in awe as he looked at the smug look on her face.

If it weren't due to the fact that he was driving and needed to make sure that he was driving safely, he would have pinched her chubby cheeks. I bet they feel really soft.

Toby's tongue was pressed against the ceiling of his mouth as he thought to himself secretly.

40 minutes went past in a blink of an eye and they found themselves nearing the Lane Residence.

After Toby drove into Lane Residence's area, Sonia noticed Grace and Curtis standing at the entrance of their house. It was obvious that they were there to welcome them.

Upon seeing that, she felt warmth coursing through her body before a warm smile appeared on her face. "I already told them to not wait for me by the door, but they still did."

When Toby spotted the middle-aged couple standing ahead, he replied, "That's how they are. Although they promised not to, they'll still do it to express their care toward us young ones."

Only the people who were the closest to said individual would do that, though.

Sonia nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Lane are really nice to me, and they would always wait for me by the door everytime I come over."

"Right here! Right here!" Grace waved when she spotted Sonia's red car and pointed at the parking spot at the side before motioning for them to park the car there. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Although Curtis, who was standing next to her, didn't react as much as Grace did, his intent gaze on the car revealed his joy upon seeing those two's arrival.

Following Grace's instructions, Toby parked the car before undoing his seatbelt and got down.

At the same time, Sonia got down from the car as well.

Immediately after she alighted from the car, Grace, who was initially standing with Curtis at the steps by the door, quickly jogged toward her with a smile and her arms wide open. "Sonny, I missed you so much! Give me a hug."

Since Sonia was already used to Grace's warm antics, she quickly took a few steps forward when she saw Grace running toward her before spreading her arms to hug Grace. "Mrs. Lane, I missed you too!"

While Grace and Sonia hugged, Toby and Curtis looked at each other without saying anything. Compared to Grace and Sonia, they were much quieter and awkward around each other.

After all, they couldn't just hug each other like how Grace and Sonia did, could they?

Besides, they weren't close enough to do that yet.

"Erm, well..." Since Curtis was the host, he knew that he should break the ice first.

Although he didn't know how to get along with Toby, he still had to stand up and do something.

At this moment, Curtis pulled on his patterned necktie and cleared his throat before extending his hand toward Toby. "It's been a while, President Fuller. Nice to meet you again."

Although they were both in the same field, the Lanes were nothing compared to the Fullers, so they barely worked together or had any interactions. Nevertheless, they'd still greet each other whenever they ran into each other on important occasions such as a dinner.

Hence, there was nothing wrong with what Curtis said since they did know each other.

Toby extended his hand to shake Curtis' hand. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane. However, you don't have to address me formally since we are not in a business setting, and I'm just here for Sonia."

His tone and gestures were extremely respectful, and Curtis couldn't find any fault with what he said at all.

This made Curtis, who initially didn't know how to approach Toby because of his status as a president, sigh in relief.

After all, Toby was a reputable figure in the field that he wouldn't attempt to cross, and he’d still have to be respectful toward Toby if they ran into each other.

However, Toby wasn't here for business purposes this time. Instead, he was here to meet his in- laws as a son-in-law.

Still, Curtis didn't dare to intimidate his 'son-in-law' with his status as an elderly considering Toby's social background. What if he gets offended by it? Wouldn't that cause trouble for Sonny?

After contemplating for a while, he decided to address Toby as 'President Fuller' to gauge Toby's attitude and allow Toby to decide how they should get along with each other.

Undeniably, Curtis made the right move as Toby insisted that he wasn't here for business purposes, which gave him an idea of how they could interact with each other.

Not bad. For him to lower himself down to us, who aren't even Sonny's biological parents, proves that his feelings toward her are genuine. If that's the case, I'm relieved that they're together now. Of course, that's not all to it since there are still more tests to come if he wants our full blessing.

He thought to himself smugly despite having a kind smile on his face before retracting his hand. "Since you insisted, I'll address you by your name privately."

"Of course, Mr. Lane," Toby nodded and replied.

While Curtis felt uneasy with how Toby addressed him, he still felt a tiny sense of achievement as the fact that he was addressed informally by Toby was something he was proud of.

Grace could immediately tell what Curtis was thinking about when she saw the bright smile on his face, which caused her to roll her eyes at him.

Useless fella. I can't believe the way Toby addressed him sent him to cloud nine. Didn't we agree to be less friendly toward Toby considering all of the things that he did toward Sonny in the past? I can't believe he seriously forgot all about it just because he was addressed as 'Mr. Lane’. Looks like I can only rely on myself for this.

She pondered to herself. While holding Sonia's hand, Grace started sizing Toby up as if she was trying to find fault in him.

Nevertheless, her facial expression stiffened after doing so because Toby's appearance was perfect from head to toe.

As Grace had always been proud of having Charles as her son, she couldn't help but compare him to Toby. However, she quickly realized that in terms of face, body, height and what not, Charles would never be able to outwin Toby.

This realization made her feel somewhat dejected.

On the other hand, Toby knew that Grace was scrutinizing him, so he stood straight and allowed her to do

so without avoiding it.
