Luke frowned, at a loss what to say, stammering, "Well... Um..."
Eileen ignored him and turned her back on him.
"It’s all my fault! I didn't mean to say that yesterday. I'm so happy. I just want you to care about me so that I can be relieved.
Don’t be angry with me, OK?" He could do nothing but try to please her with sweet words. The others were shocked to see him grovel.
This was different from the plot he had expected. It could be described as a sharp turn.
Sherman's shoulders couldn't stop shaking. She just couldn't stand it!
Why didn't this man treasure the chance?
He refused Eileen but now came to apologize. What a fool!
Sherman wanted to laugh but she fought it back. Her stomach hurt!
Eileen still didn't look at him, facing the window indifferently.
Brad looked on with interest, suggesting," Dad, tell Mom how much you love her. I saw the heroes do that in TV dramas."
Luke's face stiffened. He then went down on one knee and said, "I owe a woman too much, and I've never atoned for what I did to her, but from now on, I'll do my best to be good to her. If she doesn't forgive me today, I won't get up."
Eileen raised her knitted eyebrows, almost unable to keep a straight face. He was a rascal!
