Loriel decided to ask Elise a question to find out what did she mean by the word 'nanny'. He must get to the bottom of this. If this woman was not Elise, then he should immediately take his leave.
He must not cheat on his wife by spending so much time with another woman just because she looked like Elise.
No.. he must not hurt his wife that way.
Elise must not misunderstand him as she did back then.
Well.. it's actually not her fault. At that time, Loriel slipped and mentioned that other woman in front of Elise. It was the woman whom he thought he loved with all his heart.
The look on Elise's face was indescribable.
It was at that moment, Loriel finally realized, he had never felt pain like he did that night. The disappointment and hurt on her diamond-like eyes sent literal pain to his heart.
And right there and then, Loriel knew... he actually loved Elise.
When her pain became his pain. When her disappointment became his disappointment. He knew... he loved her.
