I was too slow when I had a chance thinking I had all the time in the world. My procrastination gave birth to the love between you two. I will never want to come between that, let alone destroy the joy the goddess has put in your life. Because of that, I will tell you everything that happened with Maurice.

If ever it comes to it that I have to speak up, Iwill do it for your sake, for the sake of the happiness I was meant to give you that day at the dinner party by taking you away from Leo," he said.

I thanked him.
