Marcellus's palms are dry and warm as he clutches Katrina's small soft hands desperately.
This is the first time that he grabs her hand so actively and eagerly. His eyes are full of sincerity as he gazes at her.
Katrina unconsciously tries to draw back her hands, but he holds onto them tightly. He doesn't back down this time, not giving her a chance to escape. His eyes are also boring into hers intensely.
This time, Katrina can't turn him down again.
Despite her terrible past, despite the fact that she has lost her innocence in a way, she doesn't know how to explain to Marcellus…
But Sophie still stands between them. Carl's kindness in raising her makes her feel a little guilty at the thought of accepting Marcellus.
On top of it all, she doesn't think Aaron will let her off so easily.
But Marcellus's eyes are too earnest, and she can feel the sincerity in his words. She never wants to see him disappointed again.
