Chapter 882


    Chapter 882 Don’t Betray Me


    “I’m at fault as well.”


    Suddenly, Toby took off his seatbelt and spun around to pull Sonia, who was sitting in the front


    passenger seat, into a hug. He ced his chin on her shoulder before he said dejectedly, “If only I


    found out that Connor betrayed my mother when I was younger, she wouldn’t have had to suffer for ten


    years, and she wouldn’t 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 rtionship and ept my father


    instead.”


    Sonia could sense the loneliness and guilt from the man next to her, and she reached out to pat his


    back. “Don’t say that. It’s not your fault at all. How could you have thought about all that when you were


    just a kid? You’re not responsible for what happened, and you can’t me yourself for it. Your mother


    loved you, and she would be sad if she knew that you med yourself for her death. I’m sure you don’t


    want that to happen, do you?”

    This time, Toby didn’t 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 apanion to console him.


    A whileter, 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 couldn’t 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. “Don’t worry. I won’t be


    someone like Connor Salzburg.”


    “Huh?” 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. “I’ll be loyal to you. My heart


    and body belong to you, and I won’t act like Connor by cheating on you like what he did to my mother.


    This is my promise to you. Please believe me.”


    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 couldn’t 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, one’s loyalty was expected as long as they were still together.


    This was basic respect toward that person as well as responsibility toward one’s 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 didn’t want Sonia to be suspicious that he might cheat on her after hearing about Connor’s


    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 wasn’t like Connor, and that he would


    never be like him.


    She’ll believe me, won’t 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. “Come on, don’t be like


    that. I won’t doubt you just because of what Connor did to your mother. Everyone is different, and I


    know that well.”


    It was too easy to guess what Toby was thinking about. Sonia could immediately tell what was


    bothering him.


    Although Sonia thought that Toby’s worries were unnecessary, she was still touched that he had


    immediately thought of her feelings and wanted to make sure that she wouldn’t overthink.


    “There are many perspectives from which we view the world and humans. There are good people and


    bad people. I won’t 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. Don’t worry. I won’t overthink or suspect that you


    might cheat on me. Even if I don’t trust you, I should trust my taste in men. I believe the man that I like


    won’t be a cheater. What do you think?”


    She turned to Toby with a smile while Toby nodded with determination. “Of course. I won’t let you doubt


    your taste in men.”


    “Good. That’s already enough for me.” Sonia squeezed the man’s hand.


    Toby sighed in relief.


    Great. Looks like she’s not affected by what Connor did. If she is, I’ll immediately crush Connor without


    any regards for the consequences that I’ll be facing.


    While pondering to himself, he felt his heart racing after hearing what Sonia said next.


    “However…” Sonia’s glistening eyes narrowed slightly.


    At the same time, Toby felt his heart skip a beat as he had a bad feeling about this. “What?” he gulped


    and asked with a hoarse voice.


    Sonia stared at the man in front of her while grinning and didn’t bother hiding the cunning look in her


    eyes. “If you really cheat on me while we are still together and destroy my trust for you, don’t me me


    for destroying your reproductive tool.”


    Then, she made a cutting gesture and shifted her gaze downward before fixating it between the man’s


    legs.


    Immediately, Toby’s pupils shrank, and he felt a little intimidated. Under Sonia’s heated gaze, his legs,


    which were apart, closed instinctively.


    It was obvious that he hadn’t expected Sonia to say that.


    That’s 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. “What’s wrong? Do you think that I went over the line?


    I don’t think so, though, because I won’t do that as long as you don’t cheat on me. If you think that I


    went over the line, does that mean that you’re nning to treat me like how Connor treated your


    mother?”


    “No!” Toby frowned and quickly eximed, “I will never be like him.”


    “Why were you quiet, then? I made myself clear. You won’t think that I’m crossing the line as long as


    you don’t betray me, because there’s nothing to worry about if you won’t do it.” Sonia’s gaze met


    Toby’s.


    At this moment, Toby sighed softly. “I don’t think that you went over the line. I was just shocked by what


    you said.”


    “Shocked?” Sonia tilted her head to the side curiously while Toby nodded and hummed in


    acknowledgement. “I wasn’t afraid of what you said just now, and I’m not worried about it happening,


    but still, don’t 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…”


    He looked around.
