Chapter 824 Lovey-Dovey

Despite Toby’s silence, he couldn’t agree more with Zane’s words. Well, we’re all just puppets and toys to our own fate, aren’t we? Then, he rubbed his forehead and asked Zane with a tired look on his face, “Well, do you think I should tell Sonia about her actual identity?”

“Unless I want to see her suffer, I think you should tell her the truth.” Zane bitterly shook his head.

“In that case, you ought to keep your lips sealed as well. After all, we both don’t want her to know anything more than she should,” said Toby as he grunted coldly.

“Don’t worry, I know what I must do.” Zane waved his hand without saying a single word more.

Since Toby was a man of a few words himself, the subsequent moments went on without a response from either of them. Soon, the atmosphere in the office was filled with an oppressive silence.

It was only a few moments later that Zane started speaking with a slightly confused expression on his face. He asked, “Toby, I know that you’re holding out on Sonia about her identity for her own good, but some secrets can never be buried forever. Have you ever thought about what would happen if she finds out about it one day? By then, don’t you think she is going to be so mad at you knowing that you kept her in the dark all this while?”

Toby fiddled with his fingers for a while before he replied, “She will certainly blame me for it, but I believe she will come to understand why I did it sooner or later. After all, she is smart, and I trust she knows what to do.”

“I hope you’re right.” Zane shrugged his shoulders.

Then, Toby picked up the cup and guzzled down the coffee in it. “Well, now that you know everything you’ve wanted to know, is there anything else I can help you with?”

Zane sensed that it was Toby’s hint for him to be gone, so he curled his lips upward and smirked. “Hey, you and I are like brothers in arms, but why do I feel like I’m something disposable that you merely use and throw away? Don’t you think it’s a little too mean to treat your comrade like that?”

While Toby reacted by shooting an annoyed gaze at his friend, Zane stood up and said, “Fine, stop giving me that look, okay? You’re scaring me. I’ll get going now.”
