Mark rushed to follow Maura who was now almost entering the elevator. He ran after his lover until he managed to get into the elevator and immediately hugged her.
"Honey, I'm sorry ... I beg you not to accept that the matchmaking," said Mark sadly still hugging Maura.
Maura smiled triumphantly but the smile faded as she had to continue her charade to scare Mark. She let go of the man's embrace and lowered her head as if she was sad. "What for? Why should I stay with you if you don't allow me to just be close to your son? Your son will also be my son... If you truly want to marry me."
"Honey" Mark held Maura's shoulders with both hands, looking down at her seriously. "I will marry you and allow you to be close to my son. I promise I will marry you."
