Chapter 180

However, the joy in Toby’s heart was soon extinguished by Zane’s following words.

Zane folded his arms and said, “So, I plan to pursue Sonia. Toby, what do you think of it?”

Toby’s expression turned gloomy in an instant.

What do I think? I don’t think it’s good at all, he thought to himself.

That being so, Toby wouldn’t say out loud what was actually on his mind! He lowered his eyes and said coldly, “You can do whatever you want-why are you even asking me?”

Zane only looked at him. He knew Toby was holding himself back despite being very much against the idea. Noticing that, a light flashed in Zane’s eyes. “Well, of course I have to tell you!”

“You have to tell me?” Toby’s thin lips pursed into a straight line.

Zane nodded. “Yeah. I mean, at the end of the day, Sonia is your ex-wife, so I felt the obligation to tell you so that you won’t be surprised when I get with her in the future.”

Toby let out a cold snort. “Are you so confident that you will be able to get her?”

“Hard work will pay off. As long as I give it my all, I am sure I will be able to impress her one way or another. When that time comes, Toby, you will give me your blessing, right?” Zane looked at him sincerely.

Toby’s thin lips moved, wanting to say ‘of course. However, as soon as the words reached his throat, he swallowed it back down; he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

Seeing this, Zane was not surprised.

He knew that deep down, Toby still had Sonia in his heart, and it would be strange of him to say that he would give him his blessing.

With that in mind, Zane put his hand in his trouser pocket and said casually, “Okay, buddy. I have already said everything that I wanted to say, and since you aren’t objecting to my pursuit of Sonia, then I hope you won’t try to stop me in the future.”

“Nah. That’s between you and Sonia. It has nothing to do with me anyway,” Toby said lightly with a cold expression.

Zane smiled. “Well, Toby, you’d better remember what you said today. If you ever try to stop me in the future, don’t blame me for not treating you as a friend then. Alright, now. Go and join your fiancée. It’s time for me to leave so that I can find a ‘love guru’ to teach me how to pursue girls. Ciao!”

He waved before he opened his car door and got in.

 

The reason why Zane even said this to Toby in the first place was to nip any chances between Toby and Sonia in the bud before he could realize his feelings for Sonia.

This way, it would be too late for Toby even if he realized that he loved Sonia, and Toby could only watch Sonia be with Zane because of what he said today.
