Chapter 1029 Just What He Wante

Sonia looked calmly into his eyes. “Because I was weak. Because I don’t come from a good family. Because I’m an orphan. Because my husband didn’t care about me. Because I had no one to help me. Because they only bully the weak.

I realized that, and I swore I’d get stronger. Not just myself either. I’d create a whole team of strong people to back me up. Nobody’s gonna push me around if I have power. And I don’t want to rely on anyone else for that. I can’t trust anyone but myself.”

She can’t trust anyone but herself. Toby felt a little hurt. He clenched his fists and asked hoarsely, “You can’t trust me either?”

Sonia averted her gaze, refusing to look into his eyes. She knew he was a little hurt. “Yes. Everyone’s prone to betrayal. Some can even betray their own family. That can happen to us too. And besides, I told you one of the reasons is that I don’t want to turn to you every time I run into something. If I do that every time, I’ll eventually lose my independence. I’d be left for dead if you dump me again.”

“I won’t dump you!” His face fell, and he held her chin. Toby turned her head to him, forcing her to look into his eyes. “You just don’t trust our relationship. You don’t think we can see this through.”

Toby hit the bullseye, and Sonia heaved a sigh. She stopped averting her gaze and stared at him. “Yes. I don’t think we can see this through. Life isn’t as short as you think. We might be in love now, but love has an expiry date. We have no idea how long our love can last. Three years? Ten? I don’t think anyone can stay in love forever.”

“I won’t be so sure about that,” Toby retorted.

Sonia froze for a moment, staring at him dumbly.
