This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 882

Chapter 882 Don’t Betray Me

“I’m at fault as well.”

Suddenly, Toby took off his seatbelt and spun around to pull Sonia, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, into a hug. He placed his chin on her shoulder before he said dejectedly, “If only I found out that Connor betrayed my mother when I was younger, she wouldn’t have had to suffer for ten years, and she wouldn’t have felt so hopeless that she took her own life. If she knew that Connor betrayed her earlier, she might have been able to move on from the relationship and accept my father instead.”

Sonia could sense the loneliness and guilt from the man next to her, and she reached out to pat his back. “Don’t say that. It’s not your fault at all. How could you have thought about all that when you were just a kid? You’re not responsible for what happened, and you can’t blame yourself for it. Your mother loved you, and she would be sad if she knew that you blamed yourself for her death. I’m sure you don’t want that to happen, do you?”

This time, Toby didn’t say anything. Instead, he hugged Sonia tighter and buried his head into her neck deeper.

Meanwhile, Sonia continued patting his back, consoling him silently.

Although Toby normally looked powerful and unfazed as if he could achieve anything he wanted, he was just an ordinary man behind his glorious facade.

An ordinary man with feelings just like every other human.

He would feel sad, guilty, and self sabotage as well.

Currently, Toby really needed a companion to console him.

A while later, he let go of Sonia and started the car engine to drive away after a traffic police came knocking at the car window to remind them that they couldn’t park here for long.

On the way back to Bayside Residence, Toby drove quietly while staring ahead at the road.

When they reached Bayside Residence, he parked the car in the parking lot before letting go of the steering wheel and turned to Sonia. Then, he finally spoke again. “Don’t worry. I won’t become someone like Connor Salzburg.”

“Huh?” Sonia, who was undoing her seatbelt, paused as she was confused about why Toby would say something like that.

Nevertheless, Toby held her hand with a serious expression on his face. “I’ll be loyal to you. My heart and body belong to you, and I won’t act like Connor by cheating on you like what he did to my mother. This is my promise to you. Please believe me.”

A man should know to keep his promises.

Once a promise was made, he must be able to keep it.

Ever since he was young, Toby had been taught to not be a person who couldn’t keep their promises. One should give their all to the person one loved, and that person should be the only one in their eyes.

Even if the feeling of love was gone, one’s loyalty was expected as long as they were still together.

This was basic respect toward that person as well as responsibility toward one’s morals.

Of course, Toby would never stop loving Sonia, so he was disgusted at what Connor did as a man himself.

The reason why he was telling Sonia all these was because while there were many men in this world that behaved like Connor, there were still many good men that existed, and he was one of them.

Toby didn’t want Sonia to be suspicious that he might cheat on her after hearing about Connor’s wrongdoings, since he had made a promise to her as well. He was worried that she might lose trust in his promise because of Connor.

If that was really the case, he would be really frustrated.

Hence, Toby really wanted to prove himself to Sonia that he wasn’t like Connor, and that he would never become like him.
