Chapter 906 A Man Who Is Easily Moved

Upon hearing the man’s words, Sonia nodded in understanding. “Good to hear that. No matter what, you still have us by your side. None of us will treat you as a substitute for anyone, so don’t think too much about it. Got it?” she said while staring at him.

Toby felt a warm feeling in his heart at the sight of the woman’s serious expression. Caressing her tender cheek, he replied softly, “Yeah, I got it.”

Sonia put her hand on the back of the hand that Toby caressed her cheek with. She asked, “That’s good. Are you still sad and upset, then?”

Toby shook his head. “No, I’m not sad or upset anymore, because you said you’re staying by my side.” He was only upset, anguished, and furious when he first learned that his mother had raised him to be Connor’s substitute. After all, it was his own mother who had done so to him.

However, after his anger cooled, he gradually calmed down. He began to realize that even though his mother had treated him as a substitute, she had passed away for nearly 20 years, and he didn’t have to bother about a person who had passed away for a long time.

Still, as he was unable to vent his anger on her, he could only take all his anger and humiliation out on Connor. It didn’t matter whether or not Connor knew he was a substitute for the former. Even if Connor was aware of it, he wouldn’t let Connor off. Somebody had to bear the responsibility for the wrong that had been committed. Since his mother had passed away, it was only natural that Connor should be the person who bore the responsibility.

After he figured this out, his anger subsided a lot, and the violent rage within him gradually disappeared. Even if he didn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t keep being angry all the time. Instead, he would quickly compose his emotions. He couldn’t let Sonia worry about him all the time, for his anger would scare her and make her feel uneasy. Moreover, she had been comforting him all this while, so he couldn’t let her concerns and words of comfort come to naught. At the thought of this, he caressed her cheek even gentler, and his hand lingered on her face, as if to trace its outline.

noticing, Sonia gently massaged the tip of her nose until the pain subsided; only then did she finally exhale and put her hand down. She knew that Toby had hugged her all of a sudden because he was moved by the fact that she had made lunch for him. Because of that, he suddenly released his emotions and embraced her to express his excitement and joy at this very

People who have no idea what happened would think that I’ve done something earth-shaking.” Speaking of it, this guy’s appearance gives the impression of being cold and indifferent. Not only is he cold toward outsiders, but he always seems self-important and capable of everything. Even so, only I know that in private—especially when he’s facing me—he’ll smile at me, speak softly to me, and even flirt with me. At the same time, he’s easily
