Emma was blaming herself, suffering from her own faults, while Charles was taking the blame to himself just to make her feel better. Thinking about it, it made it only worse for Emma. Could this man be any more perfect? He was reluctant to see her sad, no matter what, and did everything not to hurt her. She also knew Charles didn't love her as a woman anymore but was thinking of her as his sister he needed to take care of.
Feeling defeated, she sobbed. "Brother, is there anyone in the world who can be as good as you are? I don't think I can ever fall in love again."
Charles was astonished. Emma was behaving so strangely today, but he couldn't ask her directly why she was like this, so he only replied, "I'm your brother, not the best man in the world. There are many good guys out there, and with the time you will find the best one for you."
