Chapter 591 Promise to Give It a Try

The size of the pair of slippers fit just right, and the woolen material inside was silky and soft, comfortable when it came in contact with the skin. With happiness written all over her face, Sonia smiled and could not help but swing her feet happily. “Thanks, Toby.”

After being in her high heels for several hours, she could only endure the soreness and numbness in her feet. Now that she had put on this pair of slippers, it was as though her feet had a taste of freedom from its wretched cage, not to mention how comfortable this pair of slippers was.

No doubt, Toby is really attentive. Perhaps, I could try to trust him and accept him again. After all, he was hypnotized back then, so he wasn’t himself. I’m so glad to have him now, seeing how he has saved me several times. Even the little things he does for me matter a lot.

Thinking of this, Sonia took a breath, shook her palms, and looked as if she had made a decision. At this moment, Toby took Sonia’s high heels, put them in the box, and patted her hair lightly. “What’s on your mind? You look so serious.”

Sonia raised her eyes and looked at him. Her rosy lips parted, and after contemplating for a while, she said, “Toby, there’s something I want to ask you. Are you certain that you’ll love me forever and that you would not change your mind?”

Toby did not know why Sonia suddenly asked him this, but he simply nodded and answered without hesitation, “I am certain.”

Upon hearing his words of affirmation, Sonia calmed down and, at last, shook her head again. “Funnily enough, I cannot bring myself to believe those words. To believe a person’s love for another in one’s lifetime seems infinite, but for several decades is more than enough. At this very moment, you might declare your love to me and claim to love me for a lifetime and beyond from the very bottom of your heart, but who is to say that your love will not fade in the future? Can you truly pledge your undying love to me without any deceit or turn for the rest of our lives?”

More often than not, when lovers were head over heels with each other, the world around them wouldn’t seem to matter. They would let themselves be engulfed by the flames of love and pledge to each other their vows of unity. Momentarily, their earnest love often seemed to last for an eternity.

But only time could tell whether one’s love was strong enough, and as time passed by, love would fade away, reducing them to nothing but strangers. By then, those vows that they poured their blood and souls into would be reduced into no more than just a joke.

For now, Toby loved her so much he could even take a bullet for her, but she knew better than to trust that his love would never change in the future.

After all, the nature of humankind was truly unpredictable. Who was to say in the hereafter, he would not encounter a different woman who could possibly satisfy him in ways she couldn’t?

Sensing and witnessing the anxiety and void looks in Sonia’s eyes, Toby suddenly spread his right arm and embraced her. At once, Sonia’s body froze, and she was about to put up a fight to escape his embrace.

Suddenly, Toby whispered into her ear and said softly, “Don’t move.” Sensing the comfort and security from him, Sonia stopped moving.

bit and then answered, “I am aware of your concerns, so Sonia, I won’t lie to you. I cannot promise you whether I am certain I can love you forever. Promising and pledging to love you all my life now does seem more like an empty promise. After all, now is not the future. Even if I were to claim so now, you would not likely believe me; thus, I can only claim that only time will
