Shelly did not want to hear it, but she did not stop Monica.
Then, she heard Monica say, "He said since he can't marry you, he can only propose to you to fulfill your wish back then. Back then, you wanted to marry him, but he didn't agree. Now that he has agreed, it doesn't matter whether you agree or not. He just wants to give you closure."
"Actually, there was no need for him to do that." Shelly's voice was a little hoarse.
"I didn't think it was necessary either. Jeannie and I tried to persuade him, but he refused to listen. He said that was the only thing he could think of to make up for his foolish behavior back then. If he didn't do it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Now, he can fulfill his wish and let you go to pursue your own happiness."
Shelly did not know how to respond, so she remained silent.
