Joyce instinctively retracted her hand.
No, she could not do that.
No matter how cruel this might sound, she could only say, "I'm sorry, Justin, thank you for your kindness. But I really can't accept it."
She reached out, put the ring back in its place, gently closed the box. She pulled him up off the floor, an apologetic smile on her lips, "I don't deserve it, you deserve better. Justin, you will find the girl who will love you with all her heart and treat you well. She's a better fit for this ring than I am."
A shimmer of sadness and despair suddenly came into Justin's eyes, and when he saw her trying to retract her hand, he hastily held her arm.
"Am I being too abrupt? I'm sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry. I can wait a little longer." It was not that he didn't hear her rejection, but he just didn't want to give up his last hope.
"There will be no other girl. I will never get married without you. The owner of this ring, can only be you." There was an unmistakable determination in his expression, "You know, I'll do what I say."
Joyce was inwardly shaken, when had he become so persistent?
"Justin, I'm sorry, I know you must have misunderstood what happened this morning. It's actually not like what the reporters said..."
"I know, and I trust you unconditionally." Justin interrupted her hastily.
He wasn't spurred on by the news to make a spur-of-the-moment decision to propose. He had asked her to marry him at St. Maria Hospital before his surgery. It was a rushed and hurried affair that ended badly, and he still had regrets.
At least, he had never expressed his feelings formally and completely.
"I owe you a formal proposal, whether you accept or reject it. Joyce, I'll wait and wait for you to come around. I will prove everything to you." He held her hands firmly, conveying his firmness.

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
