Mary stared at Schoder with a lot of emotions in his eyes when he kneeled in front of her.
"Mary! I know you have loved your husband a lot and you still miss him but I promise that I will try my best to keep you happy and cherish every moment we spend together. I will love you enough that you will never feel the void again." he tried his best to sound loving but the expression on her face did not change.
"Mary! I love you." he added when she finally sighed.
"Schoder, I know that you are a good man and I have always been cold to you. I have always been rude, blaming you for things you had not done because I was afraid that I would break down if I had no one to pin my blame on. I know that i have admonished you, insulted you and even accused you but you never lashed at me even when i was being mean and cold." he wanted to tell her that it was not the case but when he opened his mouth she shook her head, asking him to listen to him first.
