Mars scratched his head. He looked helpless, like a kid being caught stealing candy in a shop. He did lie to her back then. He was worried that she would freak out if she knew that he was in love with her.
He thought they were still walking on thin ice and he wanted them to be on more solid ground before he could confess his feelings for her. That's why he held back.
However, today, the thin ice cracked because Emmelyn knew that the curse was lifted, or at least they would all know by tomorrow.
Mars needed to immediately confess to her, so she would know the whole story and make an informed decision.
He wanted to hold her hand and find safety together after the ice broke and they both fell into the icy water...
So... now that she knew how he felt about her, what would she do? He really hoped she wouldn't leave him.
She must not leave because... she was pregnant with his child.
