So this is what it was stressing him out. This was the incident Brock had mentioned to Eliza. Aaron had flung Brock into the sea.

Aaron admitting his mistake on his own showed he had a clear conscience. Maybe she shouldn't doubt him or suspect any ulterior motives. Eliza stayed silent for a moment.

Aaron continued, "I was just playing catch with him. The wind was crazy strong, and I lost my grip. Then the wind flipped the yacht. I was scared you'd blame me... I'm really sorry. I owe Brock an apology too."

"If it wasn't for me slipping and causing Brock to fall into the sea, you wouldn't have had to beg Casper to rescue him. And he wouldn't have taken advantage of the situation to make such an unreasonable request to you..." Aaron, clearly upset, grabbed Eliza's hand, pulled her in close, and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Eliza. Can you forgive me?"

Eliza's body resisted the hug, but she didn't push him away. "Aaron, you said it was an accident. With that storm, no one could control what happened."

"I was out of my mind to lie to you then." He gazed at her deeply, eyes full of remorse. "Can you forgive me?"

"Brock is fine," she said with a slight smile.

"Don't worry. I'll get Casper to release you as soon as possible."

Eliza gave a faint smile and didn't say anything more.
