Grace Martinez laughed, but her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
Unwilling to let go, she asked again, "Am I your only woman other than your wife?"
James Marshall answered without hesitation, "Grace, of course you are my only woman, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
Grace felt a sting at her nose and tears quietly gathered in her eyes.
She felt inexpressibly distressed. As her eyelashes trembled lightly, more and more tears quietly escaped from her eyes, slowly trailing down her cheeks.
After a moment of silence, not hearing any reply from Grace, James, worried about her state of mind, fretting she might cause trouble, gently asked again: "Grace, are you alright? What has Daniel told you? Has he been making things difficult for you?"
