It was at that moment David came back to his senses.
Looking up into Annie's almost fiery eyes, he quickly tried to remedy the situation, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I meant that even though I've broken up with her, our two families' engagement could still continue."
Mrs. Benington looked puzzled, "How could it continue?"
David hesitated a while longer, then resolved to say, "When the engagement was set, it was agreed that if the Lawrence family had a daughter, I would marry that daughter. Mom, Annie is also the Lawrence family's daughter."
Mrs. Benington was dumbfounded.
After a few seconds, she opened her eyes wide in shock.
Unable to believe what she was hearing, she stood up, pointed at David and Annie, her voice trembling, "You, you guys..."
Now that everything was out in the open, David no longer concealed his relationship with Annie.
He too stood up, holding Annie's hand, "Mom, Annie and I are together now."
