Chapter 1030 Nobody Else

Sonia was silent for a while. “Yeah. Maybe I was too hung up on that. I was drowning in their comments for years. It has stopped now, but it left a mark. I just couldn’t brush it off.”

“And now you can.” Toby patted her head.

“Yeah, now I can. You talked me through it. If I still can’t brush it off, I might kill off our relationship eventually.”

“Don’t say that.” He frowned in displeasure and put his finger against her lips.

 
 
 
 
 

She took his hand away in amusement. “Lighten up. It’s just a joke. Don’t be so uptight about it. I didn’t say anything that bad.”

“But you mentioned ‘killing our relationship’. That’s bad enough,” he said solemnly. “It’s not a good word. I want us to be safe and sound.” The last time she fell down a cliff left a traumatic impression on him. He had thought he lost her. From then on, he refused to let her risk her life, or he might do something really drastic just to save her.

“Alright, alright. I’ll stop.” Sonia noticed how much he was frowning. She knew he cared a lot about this, and she wouldn’t challenge him. Going with the flow was the best thing to do now.

He slowly stopped frowning after she stopped bringing that up. “It’s great that you’re brushing their opinions off. It’s the only way we can live our lives without any burden. We don’t need that negativity in our lives. It’s a sad life to live according to someone else’s wishes. The only people who’ll be happy about it are them, and not us.” He held her tightly, patting her head and kissing it.
