Mr. Beichen tells Mr. Manette that although they had an "improper" relationship before, it does not mean that he wants to continue the relationship now. He says that it was a "win - win marriage" at first, but now that he does not want anything from her, he wants nothing from her. He tells her that it is because he loves her, and that she is the only thing in his life that he cares about. He asks her to give him the book she has given him, and he tells her to hold on to him.
