Chapter 592 Old Mrs Fuller’s Fury

Mr. Franklin’s gaze uncomfortably shifted between the two. He then hesitated for a moment before suddenly bringing one hand up to cover his eyes. “Oh my! My old eyes can’t see anything well. Don’t mind me and carry on with whatever you are doing.”

And with each word, he slowly took little backward steps toward the exit of the pavilion.

His words finally brought Sonia back to reality, and when she realized she was still being held by Toby, she quickly pushed herself out of his embrace. Her face was flushed as she stood there in silence.

It all happened so fast that Toby could only stare at the empty space near his chest where Sonia was just seconds ago. His eyes held a hint of regret as he pursed his lips and said, “Alright now, Mr. Franklin. Don’t come in just to leave like that.”

Upon hearing that, Mr. Franklin stopped shuffling backward before cautiously removing his hand from his face. Looking at the now-separated duo, he let out an embarrassed laugh. “My apologies, Young Master Toby. I didn’t mean to intrude,” he bashfully said.

 

“It’s fine. Why have you come?” Toby asked while nonchalantly waving to urge him to get on with what he interrupted them for.

Seeing Toby’s unconcerned attitude, Mr. Franklin could only let out a small cough to ease his nerves before he announced his purpose. “Old Mrs. Fuller wanted me to let you know that you may go ahead and rest in the bedroom that has been prepared.”

 

“Sure. We’ll be there soon,” Toby said and nodded in return.

Mr. Franklin then gestured behind him and said, “I’ll take my leave first then, Young Master Toby.”

The man in question merely hummed in reply.

Done with the task he was entrusted with, Mr. Franklin then turned to leave the two of them alone to themselves at the pavilion.

After Mr. Franklin had left, Toby picked up the box with Sonia’s high heels in it and said to Sonia, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the room.”

She stroked her face at that and gave a simple “Okay”.

They proceeded to leave the pavilion as they headed for the bedroom. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the room, whereupon Toby opened the door for her. “This is where you’ll be spending the night. Rest well, okay?”
