"I'm not in pain..." Tears kept rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
She couldn't control herself, trembling lips spoke, "Walter, I'm sorry, I didn't want it this way, I really didn't... but an alliance through marriage with the president's residence is the best for both you and for Soyth, and Minnie, you didn't see... She attempted suicide for you, I, I really couldn't bear to see her suffer..."
"So you can bear to see me suffer!?" The man roared, his towering figure suddenly pressing down, holding her tight, "Emily Stone, you are truly heartless!"
To push him away for a woman he didn't even know — could she really be so ruthless?
"I..." Emily bit her lip, gazing into the man's bloodshot eyes, "Of course, I can't bear it..."
She raised her arms, the snow-white limbs wrapping around the man's neck, she didn't speak, just held him tightly, gently pulling down his head.
