‘Blake darling, I don’t want this,” she said, voice barely above a whisper.

Her voice trembled. “Now I’m dying, and I know you probably don’t want to marry me. I just wanted our engagement. Even for that simple wish, you’re using it to please Audrey.”

She took a deep breath. “Fine! I agree! Rachel’s existence will become public eventually. Maybe announcing it at our engagement will minimize the damage.
