This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr

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?”

he asked in a firm and insistent voice. Sonia knew that he cared for her and she understood where he was coming from. It’s true; I’d rather get laughed at than fall sick. I wouldn’t want to risk my health just for the sake of looking good temporarily. It’s not worth it.

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.

in mind, Sonia allowed the man to wear her jacket for her. Once she put her jacket on, Toby no longer frowned as hard as he did before. However, when he looked down and realized the bare skin on her legs was exposed to the cold

up her puffer jacket as she looked at Toby’s grim face. She could tell that he was bothered by something, so she 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

Sonia was worried about, so he gently squeezed her hand that was in his pocket. “Don’t worry. They haven’t shown up yet.

However, he then led her toward the entrance of the hotel. “It’s not that hard to find out about this, is it? I just told some of the other people at the event to keep a lookout for me. I got Tom to contact a business partner who arrived before me, and I told the business partner to alert me when the hosts arrived. He hasn’t alerted me so far,
