Chapter 852 I Will Always Have Your Back

Looking at the concern on Toby’s face and the expression of wanting to do her justice, Sonia felt a

warm sensation fill her heart.

“I’m sorry; I lost the gown and your suit,” she replied and sniffled with a remorseful voice.

“What?” He froze for a moment and asked, “You lost them?”

So, she wasn’t bullied after all. I took it the wrong way. Hang on, was she upset and nervous earlier

because she lost clothes worth a few million?

Well, it was not entirely impossible. A few million was nothing to him. Even if that amount of money fell

to the ground, he would not be bothered to bend down and pick them up. This amount of moneywas

close to zero for him. But for her, that was a lot of money.

No wonder she acted this way.

Toby patted her shoulder with an amused look on his face. “That’s alright. I am your man, and don’t

forget that I am rich. If the clothes are lost, we’ll just get a new one,” he said.

Moreover, he had always believed that his money was all hers, and that’s why he had linked her phone

number to his credit card. On top of that, his card had no set limit, so she could use it as much as she

wanted for however long she wanted.

However, he could only do all this without her knowing. If she had known, she would have gone to the

bank and gotten the card unlinked.

Sonia was still blaming herself and feeling guilty, but a laugh bubbled out of her as she heard him

bragging about being wealthy. After she stopped laughing, she calmed down and raised her eyes to

gaze at him. “When I say I lost the clothes, I didn’t mean I accidentally forgot them somewhere and

couldn’t find them. Rather, they were robbed by a man,” she explained.

“What?” Toby’s expression shifted from amusement to concern when he heard what she said. Then, he

hugged her tighter once more before he let loose to make sure that she wasn’t hurt. “Are you okay?” he

asked.

He was not in a rush to ask how exactly the clothes were robbed. What he was concerned about was

only her safety.

Sonia was moved when she saw his troubled expression. “Don’t worry. I’m fine,” she replied as she

shook her head slightly.

However, Toby remained skeptical of her response. He gently lifted her hand up and squeezed her arm

and shoulder, checking to see if she had lied because she didn’t want him to worry. After all, if she had

been harmed, a slight squeeze like this would cause her to flinch out of pain.

In the end, he concluded that she was not hurt because she showed no signs of pain during his

examination. The realization had relieved his worries, and his pounding heart had finally dropped back

to normal speed.

Then, he gently pulled her hand and made her sit on the couch. “I am glad that you are okay. Now, tell

me exactly how it happened,” he queried as they sat down.

After Sonia settled herself in a comfortable position on the couch, she explained, “I came out of the

mall after picking up our clothes and getting ready to leave. However, just as I was going to get into my

car, a man passed by and snatched the garment bags from me. Then, I gave chase—”

“Wait. What do you mean by ‘gave chase’?” Toby interrupted with a miffed tone. His expression

darkened as he increased the force of his hand that closed around her wrist. Clearly, he was getting

irritated. “Do you realize how risky that is? To chase after a robber? Have you ever considered what

might happen to you?” he ranted as he stared at her. There were flames in his eyes, but there were

also concerns and tensions.

How can I not worry? Toby couldn’t believe that she had the guts to chase after a robber.

These thugs were dangerous and crazy, which is why they dared to rob such valuable items in public.

Based on the value of the gown and suit, the robber might have to serve a life sentence in prison.

Therefore, only repeat offenders with nothing to lose would do such things.

It disturbed Toby to imagine what they would do to a woman like her. The thought of Sonia being

tormented by these thugs made his blood boil, and he would go to any extent to harm them.

Sonia realized that she had made him worried. As he was becoming overly emotional and protective of

her, she patted his shoulder to calm him down. “Don’t worry, Toby. Although I did chase after the

robber, I did it by car. So, he can’t do anything to me since I can always drive away,” she coaxed him.

But Toby was not placated by her. He was pensive, with his thin lips tightly pursed. “Do you think you

are safe chasing him in your car? Have you ever thought that the robber might deliberately lead you to

his accomplice?” He began to analyze the potential dangers she might encounter.

Then, he went on and said, “These thugs are usually organized, and do you think you’ll be able to drive

away safely if you go into their territory? Plus, they have a lot of manpower, and they might block your

path using their own bodies. Well, you could leave if you ran over their bodies, but can you?”

Her lips parted, but she couldn’t say anything. It shocked her that Toby could predict her reaction and

knew she couldn’t pull it off.

Indeed, she was acting a little reckless today. She was too focused on chasing the robber, and she

never thought of the possibility of him leading her to his accomplice. She never considered any other

circumstances that he had just explained to her.

If what Toby said came true and I bit the bait, I would be…

Unable to think any further, Sonia shivered, and the color drained from her face.

Toby’s tight brows loosened up as he noticed Sonia’s realization of how reckless and impulsive she

was by chasing after a robber. So, he gave her a flick on her forehead and said, “Next time, think

before you leap. Whatever you do, you have to leave room for maneuver so that you can change your

plans when things head south. But if you don’t, you might lose everything.”

Knowing that he was teaching her how to handle tough situations, Sonia took heed of his advice and

nodded in response. “I understand. I will be more careful next time. Aside from that, don’t you blame

me for losing the clothes?” she asked and glanced at him with a nervous look. She could feel butterflies

in her stomach.

Toby laughed faintly. “It was just two pieces of clothing. What is there to be blamed for? Do you think

that I would put the gown and suit before you?”

“No. Of course not.” She shook her head. “It’s just that I have lost your suit, and I felt bad, so…” she

explained nervously.

Just then, Toby stopped Sonia from explaining by putting his finger on her lips. “There is nothing to be

sorry for. I am not short of suits anyway. Besides, I cared more about you than the suit. As long as you

are safe, we can always get a new one. Did you forget what I said earlier? I am rich,” he said with a

grin.

She took his hand away from covering her lips and stared at him for a few seconds. Then, she burst

out laughing and exclaimed, “You behave like a parvenu!”

“If that’s what you want, Little Leaf,” he replied as he flicked her nose.

She chuckled and leaned on his shoulder. “I’ve been afraid that you might blame me. You gave me the

task, but I can’t even get it right. So, I’ve been very upset,” she said in a gloomy tone.

“Don’t think of me as one of those stupid men who are incapable and only do best at blaming their

women.” Then, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead. “Remember, I will not blame

you for anything you do. I will always have your back. Even if you murder someone, I will cover for you

by burying the body and turning myself into your accomplice,” he joked.

“Yeah, right. As if you’re actually going to murder someone.” Sonia slapped the back of his hand in

amusement. His words made her heart flutter.

It was not easy for a man to make a statement like this. Even if he was only saying this to make her

feel better, it was enough to move her.

At that moment, Toby cupped her face and stated, “The murder part was just a metaphor because we

both know you can’t kill anything. However, when I say I have your back, I mean every word. Do you

believe me?”
