“What makes you think that Sonia won’t?” Toby looked at him with an expressionless face. “Because of what you’ve done to her these past six years!” Zane crossed his arms and continued in a cold voice, “You haven’t forgotten the neglect you’ve given Sonia these past six years, have you? So, what qualifications do you have to remarry her? Just because you found out that you were in love with her? Toby, don’t you think that’s ridiculous?” Listening to his words, Toby clenched his fists. Yes, he did not deny what he had done to Sonia in the past. But now that he knew he was wrong, he would make it up to her twice as much. Zane did not know what Toby was thinking, so he rubbed his temples.
“Toby, seriously, I think you are very unworthy of her, you know? When you don’t love her, you neglect her. Now that you love her, you want her back. What do you take her for? A dog that comes and goes when instructed?” Toby’s eyes narrowed in displeasure at him. “This is just your own opinion!” “Yes, this is my opinion, but isn’t that the truth? If you don’t love Sonia, why did you agree to marry her? She had said that as long as you refuse, she won’t force you, but you didn’t refuse, did you?” Zane looked at him before adding, “Since you did not refuse, you agreed. However, after the marriage, you did not care about her and even allowed her to be bullied by your family. In fact, even you yourself were one of the bullies.
At that time, she loved you so much. Do you know how much you hurt her with the way you treated her?” Toby’s thin lips were tightly pursed as he did not speak. He knew, of course he knew. He still remembered that when they first got married, she had looked at him with such bright eyes that shone with light. Gradually, the light in her eyes disappeared, and her eyes turned dull. Even her whole being was like a walking dead. But what did he do at that time? Instead of being concerned about why and how she became like that, he felt annoyed looking at her! It was he who had done wrong by Sonia! Thinking of this, Toby felt his heart constrict with pain. Seeing that Toby didn’t say anything, Zane sighed.
“Do you think that’s all the damage you’ve done to Sonia?” Toby’s eyelids trembled slightly. Zane continued, “When Tina woke up, you actually proposed to have Sonia move out of Fuller Residence just to make room for Tina. At that time, you two had not yet divorced, and Sonia was still your wife. Still, you told your legal wife to make room for a third party. Even those playboys like Peter Southfield won’t do something so outrageous, yet you, a person who has received elite education before, actually did it.” Then, Zane chuckled before adding, “Toby, do you know that when I heard this, I was so confused to the point that I thought you were afflicted by some kind of demon. The most important thing is that by doing this, you caused great pain to Sonia.”
“That was not my intention!” Toby snapped back. However, he knew in his heart that whether hypnotized or not, there was no denying that these things, indeed, were done by him. Zane shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. What does it matter now? All these months, Tina had repeatedly tried to harm Sonia, but you did nothing to help. So, what right do you have to get Sonia back and remarry her? Toby, let her go. It took her a long time to move on, so why don’t you respect that?” “So, this is your real purpose after telling me all this? You just want me to let go of her and not hinder your attempt in pursuing her.”
His grandmother told him he should not regret what he did, yet he was steadfast at that time that he would not regret it. I shouldn’t have done any of those things! How could I?! Toby’s heart hurt unbearably. The old lady noticed the change in his emotions and patted the back of his hand. “Toby, it’s too late to regret now. Listen to Zane and let her go.” “No!” Toby refused with a gloomy expression. “I’ve loved her for more than ten years; how can I let go?” “More than ten years? Didn’t you and Sonia meet only six years ago? How can there be more than ten years?” The old lady was confused.
