"I will, I promise." He understands wanting to feel helpful, so he wouldn't deny her that for the sake of his own pride or anything similar. If it were a larger meal, he'd take her up on the offer, but as it is, he can get everything going quite fast, so there's no need. He gets everything chopped as they talk, keeping the onion in large chunks just to flavor the broth.
It's not just the fact that he's in love with Regina that makes it complicated, but that having Marian returned to him is what he had always wanted. And even just a year ago, if that had happened, he would have been happy and content. Emma was saving someone's life, as she's so often wont to do, and he feels no ill will towards her for that at all. He's grateful, and yet, his heart aches.
Washing his hands after he gets the meat into the pot to boil, he looks at her and sighs softly as he admits, "I'm in love with someone else."
He might as well tell her the truth, he's not the type to be duplicitous; if they were in Storybrooke, he'd be far more quiet on the matter in an effort not to hurt Marian, but they're far from Storybrooke now.
