Chapter 1028 A Past Concealed

“If it’s so important, then why didn’t you tell me? Why did you ask someone else for help when you could’ve come to me? Am I that unreliable to you?” Toby had no idea what Sonia was thinking. All he wanted was to make things clear with her.

Sonia didn’t want Toby to think that he was unimportant to her. She shook her head. “No. I never thought of you that way. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to rely on you for everything. I told you about it, and you agreed.

I made it very clear why I didn’t want to rely on you too much. I don’t want to turn to you every time I run into something. If I do that, I’ll lose my independence eventually. I’ll turn into a woman who needs you to solve everything for her. I don’t want that. And…”

“And what?” Toby pursed his lips. She did tell him her reason before and he supported her, but this was a bit too much. She didn’t even tell him anything because she didn’t even ask for his help, and it made him feel like an outsider. No, he was less than that. She’d rather ask an outsider for help, but not him.

I want them to see me as an independent woman. I don’t want them to think I got this far because of sheer luck instead of my own hard work. I don’t want them to think Paradigm Co. got big because you helped me out instead of my own hard work.”
