Those navy eyes widened in surprise. "I did not say that." "Do you want me to forget what you did to him? To our family? And then marry you?"

"I can't do anything about the engagement since you've announced it. And honestly," she paused again to take in a deep breath and then exhaled heavily, "if it's just an engagement, so be it. I'll go ahead with it. Don't worry, I will not back out from the deal."
