Emma promptly arrived at the Weston’s for the meeting with her old governess. She was shocked to find that Jane was engaged to Frank Churchill early October. It took sometime for Emma to fully absorb the whole situation. She felt stupid for misinterpreting the assumed love confession was actually about the secret engagement of Churchill with another woman. She felt stunned but not at all angry nor jealous, after all she had never loved Frank Churchill! Emma tried to listen to herself, and she finally realized that the man of her desires had always been by her side. The only one she loved was Mr. Knightley! Feeling so happy that Mr. Knightley finally proposed, Emma gladly accepted. However, this happy feeling subsided and turned into guilt, she knew Harriet had felt for Mr. Knightley too.
