A Miracle Fault

And now there was nothing more she could possibly give him. She gently removed his hand on her shoulder and smiled, "Antonio, yes. I'm back, I'm sorry."

She was sorry that she left without saying goodbye, and she was sorry that she couldn't give him any hope from now on.

"Don't say sorry. It's good that you're back." Antonio took her small hand again, "You know, Emmeline, I almost left for America. I came to quit school today, but I didn't expect you to come back. God bless me, you finally showed up. Emmeline..."

He pulled the girl into his arms and hugged her with all his strength, "I've missed you so much. My heart is breaking!"

Emmeline stiffened and struggled to push Antonio away, "Antonio, listen to me ... these days I ..."

"It's okay!" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Antonio, "No matter where you've gone, it's good that you're back. You are the girl I want to protect in my life, and I won't lose you this time!"

He held her tightly, not giving her a chance to resist. Emmeline couldn't break his embrace and slowly gave up. She suddenly whispered loudly in his ear, "Antonio, let go of me. Listen to me, I'm married!"

Antonio's arms around her trembled violently, and then after a few seconds, he slowly let her go. Endless pain spread in his eyes. He had long investigated something, but he did not believe it was true.

"What are you saying? Emmeline, don't you lie to me. You're only twenty years old, and you're still in school. How can you possibly get married!" He laughed, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"It's true. Antonio, I'm married. I married Master Stefan as a substitute for my sister. Antonio, I'm sorry. Promise me you'll have a good life. You are so young and handsome, and there will be a better girl for you in the future. I don't deserve you!" She looked into Antonio's desperate eyes and her heart throbbed with pain.

She knew it would hurt him, but she had to make a decision now.
