Chapter 961 You’re Not Jealous?

 

Dragging Sonia by her hand, Toby walked toward the seating area with Sonia in tow. “I knew my Little Leaf was smart. After I knew you had ordered a blue custom-made dress, I picked out a piece of blue-colored jewelry from my mother’s keepsake that would match your dress. But, I never gave it to you and decided to pick another piece out due to the incident.”

 

“When did this happen?” Sonia asked while walking beside him.

Toby’s expression grew stern. “It was the day when Anya ruined your dress. Don’t you remember I went back to the Fuller Residence on that day?”

As Sonia instantly understood the full picture, she looked at him in a daze. “So, the reason you went back there was to get the jewelry?”

“That’s right.” Toby raised his chin slightly.

“The box you brought back that night was the jewelry?” asked Sonia again.

Toby replied, “Yes, it was supposed to be a surprise for you. However, I decided not to give it to you after that incident.”

 

“It’s better that way.” Sonia’s eyes flashed a hint of coldness. “If you had given me the jewelry then, I might have been much more upset. You trusted me to bring your dress back to you and had even prepared jewelry for me, yet I couldn’t even do a simple thing of watching over the dress. I’ve really let you down in the end.”

Toby stopped abruptly before he turned to Sonia and lifted her chin.

Looking at the man’s frown and displeased expression, Sonia blinked dumbfoundedly before she asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t talk about yourself that way,” Toby said. “You did not let me down, since you successfully brought the dress out of the store. It is not your fault that the dress was ruined. After all, how could you stop someone’s malice? So, you do not have any need to feel ashamed.” Saying that, he caressed her lips with his thumb.
