Madam Escaped Again Sir

Chapter 1351

Sonia was startled as she glanced at Toby. Thinking that the man didn't mean to upset her, she wasn't mad at him. Then, she placed the quilt over him again. To her chagrin, the man lifted the quilt again the next moment. Certainly, she now realized that the man was doing it intentionally.

Furious, she placed her palms on her hips and glared at the man. "What are you doing, Toby? Why do you keep lifting the quilt? Are you trying to mess with me?"

"No, I'm not." Toby shook his head.

Sonia sneered. "Is that so? Why do you keep pushing the quilt away, then?"

"I just want you to sleep with me." Toby glanced at her and patted the spot beside him.

Sonia caught herself for a moment. "That's it?"

Toby nodded. "Yes."

Torn between tears and laughter, Sonia said, "I thought you wanted to pull a prank on me all of a sudden." After all, the man had done such a thing to her before.

Toby rubbed his nose. "I won't do that. Come here." He patted the spot beside him again and looked expectantly at her.

Nevertheless, Sonia shook her head. "No. I'd better get some sleep in the lounge. If I sleep beside you, I might accidentally irritate your wound at night." Therefore, sleeping separately would be a better idea, and it was the best solution for both of them.

However, the man insisted that they should sleep together, for he didn't want to be apart from her. In fact, he hadn't slept with her or pulled her into his embrace for far too long. He longed to kiss and hug her. More importantly, he wanted to bed her.

With that said, he couldn't possibly do the deed with her at this moment. Regardless, he still wanted to kiss and hug Sonia. At the very least, he had to satisfy part of his desire.

When Sonia saw his desire nearly spilling from the man's gaze, her heart softened. She didn't have the heart to turn him down. If she did that, she was worried the man would break into tears. "Are you not worried that I might accidentally touch your wound at night?" she asked.

Knowing that she had a change of mind, the man shook his head as his gaze brightened. "I'm not worried at all. Moreover, you're usually quiet and still in your sleep."

Hearing that, Sonia could only agree to his request. "Alright, then. I'll sleep with you tonight. However, if I accidentally touch your wound, you have to wake me up. You mustn't endure the pain, got it? Otherwise, I won't sleep with you again." She pointed at him with a solemn expression.

Realizing that she was serious, Toby nodded hurriedly. "Sure, I won't be silent. Don't worry."

"Alright. Get some rest now. I'll wash up and join you later." Sonia covered him with the quilt again.

This time, Toby didn't push the quilt away. With her mind at ease, Sonia shuffled into the bathroom and washed up. Then, she decided to wash the clothes that Toby and she had changed out of. It wasn't until two hours later that she was done with all those.

Toby had been eager during this period as he kept stretching his neck to look in the bathroom's direction, waiting for her to come back and sleep with him. However, after he waited for a long time, the woman was still nowhere in sight. When she finally stepped out of the bathroom, she entered it again.

As he watched her enter and leave the bathroom repeatedly, his expectation turned into disappointment. He was going through such a mood swing that it felt as though he was on a roller- coaster.

When he finally saw the woman coming toward him, he knew that he wouldn't be disappointed. A smile reappeared on his face as he said, "You're finally back. What took you so long?"

Sonia sat down beside the bed and fished out her toiletry bag before applying some skincare products on her face, which was her bedtime routine. "Well, it usually takes a woman a long time to wash up. Why aren't you asleep yet? Was I too noisy?"

"No, I just didn't want to sleep yet." Toby didn't move his gaze away from her. "I wanted to wait for your return, but I didn't know you'd take so long."

Hearing that, Sonia was amused. "Are you a fool or something? You could've gotten some sleep on your own. You didn't have to wait for me."

"I wanted to wait for you and pull you into my embrace. Otherwise, I won't be able to fall asleep," Toby replied.

A cheerful Sonia felt warmth in her heart. She blew through her skincare routine before keeping the products inside the bag. Then, she lay down beside the man. Forget it. Since he's been waiting for me for such a long time, I'll skip my usual skincare routine and keep him company earlier.

Toby's eyes lit up when he saw the woman getting into bed. Then, he extended his arm and pulled her closer.

Sonia did not resist as she moved closer to him so that he wouldn't exert himself and irritate his wound.

Soon, Toby hugged her tightly in his embrace and pressed his head against her neck. As he sniffed at her bodily fragrance, he kept calling her 'Little Leaf'.

Knowing what the man was up to, Sonia patted his shoulder. "Don't even think about it. You can only hug me and do nothing else, so you'd better get some rest. You won't think about such matters

when you're asleep."

She could hardly stifle her laughter. This couldn't be helped; it was indeed amusing to see the man looking so pitiful, but there was nothing he could do. She didn't want to laugh, but she couldn't stop herself from doing it.

Hearing the woman's laughter, Toby glanced at her with an expressionless face. Despite that, his gaze was full of grievances.

Sonia stroked his head. "Alright, stop thinking about it. Let's sleep now. I'll make it up to you when you recover."

Toby appeared elated in an instant, but the light in his eyes soon went out. "That will take a long time."

"It's not like there's anything we can do about it. You have to wait. Don't worry, time flies. Christmas is just around the corner, and it'll be Christmas Eve in two days. Have you thought about how you'd like to celebrate the occasion?" she asked.

Toby shook his head, then pressed his head against the woman's neck before kissing and biting it. Although he couldn't bed her, he still wanted to make out with her. "No," he replied in a muffled voice.

Sonia looked up at the ceiling as she let the man mess around. "You have to start thinking about it now. I think your grandma will ask us to go back to the old manor and keep her company. Since it's Christmas, we can't possibly turn her down. How are we going to explain to her about your condition?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

After giving it some thought, Toby replied, "We'll just tell her the truth."

Sonia was surprised. "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"But…"

"Don't worry. My grandma isn't a frail person." Toby put on a smile. "If we had told her earlier, she probably couldn't have accepted it. However, since I'm fine now, I'm sure she'll be okay with it. As such, there's nothing to worry about. Moreover, I think it's a good idea to tell her the truth. At the very least, she'll be at ease knowing there won't be any problems with my heart in the future."

Finding him sensible, Sonia nodded. "You have a point. We'll tell her about it, then." She could also take this opportunity to apologize to Rose, for she almost caused her grandson to lose his life. "We'll tell the doctors about it three days later and leave the hospital temporarily. I suppose they'll agree to it," she said with uncertainty.

Toby dipped his head. "I'm sure they will. In fact, I'm fine now. It's just that my wound hasn't healed, and my heart is still in a slightly unstable condition. That's why I can't be discharged just yet. However, I'll be able to leave the hospital for a couple of hours."

"Alright, then." Sonia set her mind at ease.

Then, she suddenly felt her stomach churning as a sense of discomfort washed over her. She quickly turned over and started retching.

An anxious Toby promptly checked on her. Sonia knew that he would be worried, so when she felt slightly better, she turned over and stopped him. "Don't move. I'm fine."
