This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr 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?”
