Even after being "deceived" like that by her, he was still willing to believe in her unconditionally.
Edward Stephens was not a fool; in some ways, he was the smartest person she had ever met.

The young Edward had given her warmth and companionship, while this man offered deep affection and trust.
She didn't want to let down this deep affection.
