Those words from Aria Grant left George Flack stunned for a long time. Did Aria already know all that?
When he realized that she knew, his heart was full of grief and regrets. He kept quiet only because he was worried that Aria might be involved, but now that he hadn't spoken, how come Aria still knew about the matter he wanted to hide?
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't have had to worry about any of this. No, Aria, you mustn't get involved! You can't interfere in this matter, I can handle it, believe me, I can definitely handle it."
While George knew he was struggling, he still hoped Aria could be safe and sound. He didn't even dare to hope she'd understand his hardships; just her safety would suffice.
Hearing George's words, Aria's heart ached. Why was George still considering her so much while he was clearly stuck in a pit?
