Alice Turner said that, and Benjamin Shaw firmly believed she was just making excuses for Thomas Fisher. Given his impulsive actions earlier, he didn't shout at her or argue with her like before.
He didn't come today to argue about right or wrong, but to express his feelings to her.
He wanted her to know that he had fallen in love with her, and this was very important to him.
"Let's not discuss who was right or wrong five years ago. Today, I came to see you because I want you to know that I have fallen in love with you, and from now on, I have decided to pursue you openly." Previously, he only dared to like her secretly and didn't have the courage to tell her his true feelings directly.
Benjamin had already lost five years; now he didn't want to waste any more of his time. He had no time left to lose.
If he didn't seize the opportunity to confess to her now, he would have no chance left at all.
