Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 732

When she realized that that was a possibility, she was overwhelmed by a great sense of fear, and it squeezed her heart. With how much Charles disliked her, she knew he would never allow her to be pregnant with his child, but when she went to the hospital to get a checkup, the doctor already confirmed that she was pregnant. If Mr. Lane finds out, he’ll force me to abort. But I don’t want to do that. I want to give birth to this baby.

Sonia was worried about Daphne, since she was looking pale. “Are you alright, Daphne? Why are you looking so pale all of a sudden?”

Daphne stared down. “I’m alright.”

“Really?” Sonia looked at her, obviously not believing Daphne. She looks so pale. That can’t be alright.

“I’m fine, really.” She shook her head adamantly and repeated her earlier question, “Chairman Reed, why did Mr. Lane want to know if I’m acting weird anyway? What does he mean by ‘acting weird?’”

“I’m sorry, Daphne, but I don’t know either. I asked him, but he said nothing. He said something happened between you two, so he wants to know if you’re acting weird lately. That’s all.” Sonia looked at her with an apologetic smile.

Daphne bit her lip, and she started feeling really nervous. “How did you answer him?” If she told him I retched, it’d be a disaster.

Sonia didn’t know why Daphne was so nervous, but she shrugged and answered honestly, “I told him you’re fine.”

Daphne looked at her. “You didn’t tell him I’m feeling unwell?”

Sonia shook her head. “No. You’re feeling unwell because you’re sick.

That’s not acting weird. Why should I tell him that?”

Daphne secretly heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Sonia gratefully. “I see. Thank you, Chairman Reed.”

She bowed to Sonia. Good thing she didn’t notice what Mr. Lane was talking about. If not, she might have told him about my retching, and he would have figured out I’m pregnant. He might force me to get the abortion.

Sonia didn’t understand why Daphne was suddenly thanking her, nor did she understand why Daphne looked so relieved. Sonia waved her hands and said, “Don’t mention it. I was just telling the truth. What happened between you guys anyway?”

Daphne stared down and stayed quiet.

Oh, she can’t say. Sonia shook her head. “It’s alright if you don’t want to talk about it, but if you guys have a misunderstanding, please clear it up. If you don’t, it’ll be harder to clear it up later. You want to be with him, right? So talk it through with him.”

Daphne forced a smile. “I understand. Thank you for the tip.”

“Alright.” Sonia waved her away.

Daphne took a deep breath and turned around, then she went toward the door, but her footsteps felt heavier than they were when she

came in. Eventually, she left, and the door was closed.

Suddenly, Toby blocked Sonia’s sight and stopped her from looking at the door.

Sonia pulled his hand away, then she turned around. “What are you doing?”

“You’re spending too much time sending her off.” He hugged her.

Sonia was amused. “I was just sending my secretary off. You’re jealous of her?”

He snorted. “They’re not me. You can only look at me like that.”

“You’re such a baby.” She rolled her eyes and refilled her cup with coffee.

Toby pushed his cup over to her. “I want some too.”

Sonia might have grumbled about him, but she refilled his cup anyway. Toby happily picked the cup up and took a sip. “Your secretary seems to be scared of Charles.”

Toby chuckled in response.

Sonia pushed him away. “You’re a smooth talker.”

“I’m not.” He held her by her waist and pulled her into his embrace, then he looked at her. “It’s my true feelings.” Look at my eyes. My feelings are genuine.

Toby was looking serious, but Sonia rolled her eyes.

Toby frowned slightly, then he held her face. “You don’t believe me?”

“You’re imagining things.” She smacked his hands away.

He looked at the back of his hand, then at her. “I am not. You have to say you believe me.”

“No.” She turned her head away.

He pulled her back to face him. “If you don’t say it, then it means you don’t trust me.”

“You’re really imagining things.” She held her forehead. He’s being a pain right now. He wasn’t like this. Why did he even become this way anyway ? Sonia was immersed in her thoughts at this moment.

Toby noticed her spacing out, and he pursed his lips. “I’m talking to you, and you got distracted?”

Sonia snapped out of it. “Huh? What were you saying?”

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and his voice took on a menacing tone. “I want you to say you trust me.”

“You’re still on about that?” Sonia was slightly annoyed. “It’s just a little statement. Don’t get obsessed over it. All that matters is I trust you with all my heart. I don’t have to say it out loud.”
