Keira looked at Lewis in surprise.
When he came, he had casually mentioned that Madeleine had saved his life, but he hadn't shared the details.
Had it also been a case of abduction and trafficking…?
Only, unlike her own situation, had he nearly been killed at the time?
If that were the case, then this would indeed be considered a life-saving grace.
No wonder Lewis was so accommodating toward Madeleine.
While she was thinking, Lewis had already started to speak, his voice deep and gentle, with a hint of tenderness. "Sorry, I misspoke."
He still held Keira's hand tightly, his eyes having a complicated emotion as he looked at Madeleine, and explained earnestly, "I thought that a childhood promise is still a promise. Although I don't love you, I could stay unmarried for a lifetime, and be there for you when you need me, but I didn't expect to have a marriage arrangement with Keira, nor did I expect to fall in love with her. I've thought about this for a long time."
