Chapter 882
Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again
Chapter 882 Donât Betray Me âIâm at fault as well.â
Suddenly, Toby took off his seatbelt and spun around to pull Sonia, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, into a hug. He placed his chin on her shoulder before he said dejectedly, âIf only I found out that Connor betrayed my mother when I was younger, she wouldnât have had to suffer for ten years, and she wouldnât have felt so hopeless that she took her own life. If she knew that Connor betrayed her earlier, she might have been able to move on from the relationship and accept my father instead.â
Sonia could sense the loneliness and guilt from the man next to her, and she reached out to pat his back. âDonât say that. Itâs not your fault at all. How could you have thought about all that when you were just a kid? Youâre not responsible for what happened, and you canât blame yourself for it. Your mother loved you, and she would be sad if she knew that you blamed yourself for her death. Iâm sure you donât want that to happen, do you?â
This time, Toby didnât say anything. Instead, he hugged Sonia tighter and buried his head into her neck deeper.
Meanwhile, Sonia continued patting his back, consoling him silently.
Although Toby normally looked powerful and unfazed as if he could achieve anything he wanted, he was just an ordinary man behind his glorious facade.
An ordinary man with feelings just like every other human.
He would feel sad, guilty, and self sabotage as well.
Currently, Toby really needed a companion to console him.
A while later, he let go of Sonia and started the car engine to drive away after a traffic police came knocking at the car window to remind them that they couldnât park here for long.
On the way back to Bayside Residence, Toby drove quietly while staring ahead at the road.
When they reached Bayside Residence, he parked the car in the parking lot before letting go of the steering wheel and turned to Sonia. Then, he finally spoke again. âDonât worry. I wonât become someone like Connor Salzburg.â
âHuh?â Sonia, who was undoing her seatbelt, paused as she was confused about why Toby would say something like that.
Nevertheless, Toby held her hand with a serious expression on his face. âIâll be loyal to you. My heart and body belong to you, and I wonât act like Connor by cheating on you like what he did to my mother. This is my promise to you. Please believe me.â
A man should know to keep his promises.
Once a promise was made, he must be able to keep it.
Ever since he was young, Toby had been taught to not be a person who couldnât keep their promises. One should give their all to the person one loved, and that person should be the only one in their eyes.
Even if the feeling of love was gone, oneâs loyalty was expected as long as they were still together.
This was basic respect toward that person as well as responsibility toward oneâs morals.
Of course, Toby would never stop loving Sonia, so he was disgusted at what Connor did as a man himself.
The reason why he was telling Sonia all these was because while there were many men in this world that behaved like Connor, there were still many good men that existed, and he was one of them.
Toby didnât want Sonia to be suspicious that he might cheat on her after hearing about Connorâs wrongdoings, since he had made a promise to her as well. He was worried that she might lose trust in his promise because of Connor.
If that was really the case, he would be really frustrated.
Hence, Toby really wanted to prove himself to Sonia that he wasnât like Connor, and that he would never become like him.
Sheâll believe me, wonât she?
He pursed his lips as his gaze darkened. However, a hint of anxiousness could be seen in his dark gaze.
Toby was really worried that Sonia would not trust him and think that he might cheat on her because of Connor.
Noticing how nervous the man was, Sonia pursed her lips and chuckled softly. âCome on, donât be like that. I wonât doubt you just because of what Connor did to your mother. Everyone is different, and I know that well.â
It was too easy to guess what Toby was thinking about. Sonia could immediately tell what was bothering him.
Although Sonia thought that Tobyâs worries were unnecessary, she was still touched that he had immediately thought of her feelings and wanted to make sure that she wouldnât overthink.
âThere are many perspectives from which we view the world and humans. There are good people and bad people. I wonât think badly of every man in this world just because Connor is a horrible one because that would be unfair to all other nice men. Donât worry. I wonât overthink or suspect that you might cheat on me. Even if I donât trust you, I should trust my taste in men. I believe the man that I like wonât be a cheater. What do you think?â
She turned to Toby with a smile while Toby nodded with determination. âOf course. I wonât let you doubt your taste in men.â
âGood. Thatâs already enough for me.â Sonia squeezed the manâs hand.
Toby sighed in relief.
Great. Looks like sheâs not affected by what Connor did. If she is, Iâll immediately crush Connor without any regards for the consequences that Iâll be facing.
While pondering to himself, he felt his heart racing after hearing what Sonia said next.
âHowever...â Soniaâs glistening eyes narrowed slightly.
At the same time, Toby felt his heart skip a beat as he had a bad feeling about this. âWhat?â he gulped and asked with a hoarse voice.
Sonia stared at the man in front of her while grinning and didnât bother hiding the cunning look in her eyes. âIf you really cheat on me while we are still together and destroy my trust for you, donât blame me for destroying your reproductive tool.â
Then, she made a cutting gesture and shifted her gaze downward before fixating it between the manâs legs.
Immediately, Tobyâs pupils shrank, and he felt a little intimidated. Under Soniaâs heated gaze, his legs, which were apart, closed instinctively.
It was obvious that he hadnât expected Sonia to say that.
Thatâs kind of cruel, man.
Seeing that Toby remained quiet while pursing his lips, Sonia propped her head against her hand before a ghost of a smile appeared on her face.
âWhatâs wrong? Do you think that I went over the line? I donât think so, though, because I wonât do that as long as you donât cheat on me. If you think that I went over the line, does that mean that youâre planning to treat me like how Connor treated your mother?â
âNo!â Toby frowned and quickly exclaimed, âI will never become like him.â
âWhy were you quiet, then? I made myself clear. You wonât think that Iâm crossing the line as long as you donât betray me, because thereâs nothing to worry about if you wonât do it.â Soniaâs gaze met Tobyâs.
At this moment, Toby sighed softly. âI donât think that you went over the line. I was just shocked by what you said.â

ï¤Chapter 1211 Ending âShocked?â Sonia tilted her head to the side curiously while Toby nodded and hummed in acknowledgement. âI wasnât afraid of what you said just now, and Iâm not worried about it happening, but still, donât stare at me like that. You made me feel like you might just end me within the next second.
You should know all men care about their assets. After all...â
He looked around.
