"I said before, I don't want an outcome, I just want to see her happy."
Joseph Lancaster continued walking towards the store entrance.
Emily Zimmerman followed him again, "But you can't stay single for her all your life, right? Joseph, I promise I won't mind you liking her in your heart."
Joseph Lancaster stopped again, looking earnestly at Emily as he spoke.
"I told you, I already have someone I like in my heart. For her, I'll never marry in my life. Maybe you won't understand this kind of feeling, but I really will do it!"
"Joseph..."
"Emily, you're my classmate, so I don't want to delay you, nor do I want you to waste your youth on me. While it's not too late, when you go back, you can tell my parents that we are incompatible. If you're shy to say it, I will."
Joseph's thoughtful suggestion to let Emily propose the idea also gave her face; at least if the outside world found out, he'd be the one dumped by a woman.
