"It's best if you're not angry, Clement. I hope even if we break up, we won't become strangers who despise each other."
"Who said we're breaking up? It's just you saying we're breaking up, you unilaterally calling off the engagement. I didn't agree. Without my agreement, it's impossible for us to break up, impossible to call off the engagement."
"But I've already said I only see you as my brother."
"Do you know how cruel your words are?" Clement said, sitting on the bed and staring straight at Audrey. He continued, "To be honest, I'm very angry, but being angry doesn't necessarily mean we have to break up or call off the engagement. Audrey, we're not kids anymore. Engagement is a sacred and solemn thing, not a child's play. Don't you agree?"
Yes, back then, during the engagement, they vowed to stick together through both poverty and illness.
How sacred it was.
Who would have thought that after just a year, they would be in such disarray?
