Such humble words...
It was not the first time Keith was so humble in front of Elizabeth.
But every time he said it, Elizabeth's heart pained.
To tell the truth, Keith was kind to her with all his heart and soul. There would probably never be another person who was so kind to her in the world.
Her heart was not made of iron. She was grateful for his kindness to her all these years. If she hadn't had two children, she might choose to be with him.
But she was a child from a single family. She could give minimal energy to her children by herself and couldn't spare any other energy to fall in love.
In other words, she didn't have enough to give to people other than her two children.
She knew she would let Keith down. Elizabeth could only sigh in her heart.
He was her friend. She must be frank with him.
"You are fine, Keith. You have always been fine. But I can't always accept your kindness without giving you a response."
