Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again novel Chapter 852

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.

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?”
