Ren's honesty touched Fae and unknowingly, tears started flowing down her cheeks.
"Actually .. I feel loved with all your sweet treatment to me. That's why I accepted your proposal. I want to spend all my life with you, as your wife. I guess I shouldn't have overheard your conversation back then. My heart keeps thinking that I am not loved, even though nothing has changed between us ... Oh, I'm so stupid ... " sobbed the girl. "I wish I didn't hear it."
"Sshh .. you're not stupid. It's human to feel that way." Ren swiftly wiped Fae's tears with his fingers. "I understand why you are upset and sad. I apologize for hiding my condition from you. But I hope you can see that I am doing my best to make you happy as my wife."
Fae nodded slowly. "I do see that, and I am grateful."
