This time however, he had to ask her the question. He couldnt let another chance pass him by.
As time passed, the deck for the dolphins became more populated, and obviously, became noisy.
After thinking about his question and wondering why he would just bring it up out of nowhere, Rachel turned to him and asked knowingly,
Why? Whats wrong?
He looked down at her face and said slowly, If you are unhappy with him, you just have to tell me, and Ill take you away.
The seriousness on his face took Rachel by surprise. She had an idea of where this was heading to, and she was already apprehensive.
Do you know what you are talking about, Roger? Now that Roger had made it so blunt and clear, Rachel knew she must give him an answer.
It wouldnt be right if she dallied with him on such a sensitive matter. She knew she had to do it. But when she thought of the fact that her next words were going to hurt Roger, she felt helpless.
I know, Roger answered her honestly. There was no need trying to milk things up when he had already started.
Rachel, I should have said these words two years ago. No, scratch that. Maybe I should have said it even earlier. Or when we were in high school maybe. I just never got the chance until now. So, Ill go ahead. Rachel, I love you. The first time I saw you, I was attracted to you. But at that time, I didnt know it was love. When I finally realized it, I lost contact with you. And then two years ago, when I heard you were going to marry Victor, I regretted that I hadnt tried hard enough to reach you. I couldnt help but think that, maybe if I had reached out to you, you wouldnt have married him. We could have probably been together now. So, when I heard about your divorce, I came back from abroad. You dont know how much I wanted to say these words after I heard all youve been through these days. But till now, I didnt have enough courage. I do now, and I dont care anymore. I dont want to see you unhappy, and all I care about is your happiness. Rachel, leave with me. ILL take you away from Victor.
There was a long pause after that declaration of his.
It was not that she was thinking about his proposal. Rachel was rather thinking of the best way to let him down without necessarily hurting him. She pressed her lips together and looked into Rogers eyes.

Im sorry, Roger.
Roger wasnt stupid. He had thought of the possibility of being rejected. However, he didnt expect it to be accompanied by an apology. Stunned, he started saying, Rachel

Jimenez family. You are the hope of your family and your family business. We are not fit for each other. You have to see that! Look at me, Ive been married and pregnant. I am no longer the girl you think you fell in love it. In fact, if we look at it, Im even different from the person I was two years ago. Rachel sighed and refused his proposal straightforwardly.
I wont leave with you,
Roger. And, I dont have the same feelings for you.
After that, the two of them eventually fell silent, not knowing what else to say.
At the same time, the people around were still talking about the dolphins.
As she noticed that Roger didnt respond for a long time, Rachel wondered if she had been too harsh on him.
Rog
She moved her lips to call him, wondering if she should say something to at least ease the tension. However, before she could say anything, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on Rogers face.
You dont need to say anything. I know, he said calmly.
Rachel was stunned, not expecting what he said.
