"Let her cry."Upon saying that, the waiter came in and brought the restaurant's most expensive wine."Gwen." Luna picked up the bottle of wine and poured Gwen a glass. "You must know that you've just finished the surgery. Your body won't be able to take it, but before we left Merchant City, I asked the doctor if you're able to have wine when you're in a bad mood. The doctor said that once is alright. "So, I'm only going to allow you to drink once. After tonight, you can no longer drink. You have to be responsible for your body, as well as…for the person that donated the heart to you."Gwen clutched her face and nodded.Then, she let go of her tear-soaked hands, picked up the glass that Luna poured for her, and downed it.'I'd choose to go with you if I could, Luke. I don't want to continue this torture here on earth alone.'"Luna, does Gwen…"Looking at Gwen drunk, Yannie bit her lip. She lowered her tone. "Does she…really like Mr. Jones that much?"Luna paused for a while b
At that moment, Gwen could not believe her eyes. She felt her blood rushing to her head.Was she…hallucinating? How could this be?She bit her lip harshly and subconsciously rubbed her eyes.She was not hallucinating! The man in front of her was Luke!"Miss, are you alright?" Steven Hughes slowly walked toward her and looked at this woman shorter than him by a head.He could recognize that she was the woman that he followed on social media. How small the world was.He had only noticed her on social media two days ago, yet he almost crashed into her on the streets that morning.It was still alright before the man spoke. The moment he spoke, Gwen's tears fell instantly.That voice… It was clearly Luke's voice!How could someone's look, aura, and voice seem so much like Luke's?It was Luke… It had to be!Excitement and grief flooded her at the same time. She could no longer hold back her tears.She looked up at the man in front of her fixedly with teary eyes."You're not dead
This was why this woman got so agitated when she saw him and immediately rushed over to hug him in tears.However, he was not Luke Jones. He could not give her the response that she wanted, nor the hope that she hoped for.Thus, he took a deep breath and pushed her away."Miss." He furrowed his brow and gazed at the sobbing woman in front of him, her face red. "You got the wrong person. I don't know you, and I'm not Luke Jones."Then, under Gwen's dazed gaze, he turned around and headed toward the direction of his car.He nearly missed her and his car nearly slammed straight into her due to him not being aware, which was why he came out of the car to check on her due to worry.However, it appeared that this woman was completely unharmed, and he did not need to waste his time with her. He pitied her for not having a boyfriend, but this was not a reason for her mistaking a stranger as her boyfriend, punching him and crying at the same time.It was not because her punches were pain
Gwen's tears seeped through Steven's shirt, wetting his chest.Feeling her tears and hearing how aggrieved she sounded, Steven had an urge for that one moment.He had the urge to admit that he was Luke Jones, and this baffled him tremendously.All these years, although he did not encounter many women, there were still a few who wanted to get close to him. Those women have used assorted ways and tactics, but he never once fell for it.However, the woman in front of him was different from the rest. He could feel her grief. He could understand her broken heart and her helplessness.She was so weak and fragile that it was heartbreaking to see.It was so heartbreaking that he even thought of pretending to be the Luke Jones she was looking for, just to console her a little.However, his rationality told him that he could not do that. He had a fiancee, after all, and Kate had been by his side for so long. He could not let her down.Even comforting this stranger would be equal to disap
Seeing how the man next to her made no response, Gwen closed her eyes as tears fell."I understand my feelings now. My thoughts of wanting to leave you previously were too childish. All this while, I thought that as long as I leave you, you could have a better life. I planned to leave so that you could be with that woman, but it was until you left me that I realized how important you are to me…"Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She looked up at him with teary eyes. "A—Are you trying to teach me a lesson for trying to leave you, Luke?"Wiping away her tears, Gwen sobbed, "I know that I've done wrong. I really do know it, Luke. Can you stop pretending to not know me? I…"Gwen closed her eyes, and tears fell silently. "I can't lose you. I'm not willing to lose you again. I know I did wrong, so I'll use the rest of my life to repay you, alright? Even if you scold me or hit me or treat me badly, I won't mind. As long as you come back to me and stop saying such str
Since the driver informed her beforehand when Steven's car arrived at the Millers, Kate was already dressed up. She even put on makeup, lying by the balcony of her bedroom, looking at the Pursche parked below.Her Steven. Her Steven came to look for him. Even when he almost crashed into a drunk woman, he was afraid that she would misunderstand him and deliberately send the woman to her.How could she not love him?She loved him! She loved everything about him!At that moment, Kate's phone rang. It was from Steven."It's early. I hope I didn't disturb you," muttered Steven into the call, his tone apologetic. "I just headed out and almost ran over someone. Since she's drunk, I couldn't get a name or where she stayed. It's inappropriate for me as a man to bring her home, so I brought her over to you. Are you free?"Hearing Steven's low voice, Kate excitedly grabbed the phone with trembling hands. "It's just nice that I'm already up. Where are you right now?""In front of your house
"Why are you so early today?" Kate gently asked, looking feminine and demure in front of Steven.Steven smiled and took a sip of the milk given to him. "I wanted to head to the office to do some reading. There's a meeting with the Howards today."Then, he looked up at Kate. "Have you heard? The illegitimate son of the Howards, Thomas Howard, is back. I heard that he even brought over great help from Merchant City. His name is Joshua Lynch."Upon hearing Joshua's name, Kate's hands shuddered a little.She had heard about Thomas returning from Merchant City. She also knew that Gwen and Luna were on a vacation in Saigen City. However, this was the first time hearing that Joshua was here, too.Upon hearing that name, Kate's heart constricted tightly. She found it hard to breathe.She was not afraid of Thomas and Yannie settling down in Saigen City. After all, she and Thomas did not have any conflict of interest, and Thomas was not a person that liked to meddle in other people's affai
Joshua and Thomas rushed to Luna's hotel early in the morning. The other person being pulled along by Thomas was the groggy Yannie.The moment he entered, Joshua furrowed his brow and asked, "What happened?"Luna bit her lip and recounted the incident that happened in the restaurant the night before."I thought she fell asleep after an entire night, so I went to rest for a while. I never thought I'd fall asleep like that... When I woke up, I couldn't find her anymore!""Don't worry, she won't go missing."Thomas furrowed his brow. "I've already gotten people to check on the security footage of the streets, and my men are sweeping the entire city. We'll find her."Then, he turned to look at Luna. "Did anything happen last night? Why would she suddenly think of Luke suddenly and drink so much wine?""I…think I know why." Yannie carefully raised her hand up like a student caught making a mistake. "Yesterday afternoon, when we were at the ski area playing, we bumped into Denise Hugh
