Chapter 1245 Their Insecurities

“I want you to do as I say. You shouldn’t keep your jacket off just because it’s a hassle to put it on.” Toby was afraid that Sonia would reject his orders, so he made a firm statement that convinced her. Toby was right—Sonia no longer felt as cold after he threw the jacket over her shoulders. However, Sonia had no intention of wearing it in the hall.

“It’s not about this being a hassle. I just feel rather embarrassed being the only one to wear my puffer since everyone else is not wearing it. They’re going to laugh at me. Furthermore, where should I put it once I get into the hall?” That was an important question.

Toby held onto her wrists before stuffing them into the holes of the jacket while speaking. “It shouldn’t bother you whether they’re wearing their jackets.

They are the ones who choose to catch a cold and there’s no need for you to compare or fit in with them. You’re the one who knows your body best. Furthermore, do you think anyone would laugh at you when I’m around? Which is worse—getting laughed at or falling sick?” he asked.

“Isn’t the answer obvious? Falling sick, duh,” Sonia replied without giving her words much thought. Toby shot her a glare. “I’m glad you know that. Why aren’t you putting the jacket on, then?”

On top of that, there was something Toby said that touched Sonia. He said that no one would dare to laugh at me if he was around! Well, since no one’s going to make a fool out of me, I guess there’s nothing to worry about, she thought.

him, he would’ve wanted Tom to head out just to purchase fur boots and some long pants for Sonia. However, Toby knew that the rest of the guests would tease or sneer behind Sonia’s back if he did such a thing. A puffer jacket was no big deal. It might not look as glamorous as the gowns that some other women wore, but everyone would

that the puffer jacket was just temporary outerwear that she would take off later. As such, Toby figured that the other guests would send her odd looks at most. They wouldn’t laugh at her for such a thing. However, if Sonia put on fur boots and long pants, others might actually think

waved her hand in front of his eyes to catch his attention. Toby’s gaze flickered for a moment before he snapped back to reality. He gently held onto her cold hand as he used his breath to warm it up. Then, he stuffed her hand into the pocket of his coat. “It’s nothing. Let’s go
