1421: Let's Face It Together (1)_1

"Walter Schmidt, you..." Emma Benson was completely flabbergasted. She grabbed the man's arm, her nails nearly sinking into his flesh, her voice trembling faintly, "All along, you never wanted to marry Minnie Sutton? You were just stringing me along!?"

"The only one I want to marry is you; it can only be you in this lifetime!" He clenched her waist tightly, preventing her from backing away.

Emma Benson's eyes widened, and she was at a loss for words. Her expression was very complex. She stared at him, her eyes gradually reddening.

"Walter..." She bit her lip and then suddenly bowed her head, her small hands tightly gripping his shirtfront, her voice hoarse, with a hint of choking, "How could you... how could you..."

After uttering those two sentences, she couldn't speak any further. She bit down harder, her head lowered, and she was breathing slightly heavily due to her emotional turmoil.
