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
"Mhm." Joshua nodded and gently patted Luna's shoulder. He wanted to say something when Lucas called him."Sir, we found Ms. Larson!"Joshua furrowed his brow. "Where did you find her?""At…"On the other end of the line, Lucas looked at the disheveled-looking Gwen. "At the dump station at the south of the city. We were searching for her when someone suggested looking at the dump station because Saigen City has a cold climate, and many drunkards would feel cold when wandering the streets. These people either hide in any empty house they could find, or they'd lose it and hide in trash bins because…"Lucas cleared his throat. "Because the trash bin is against the wind. So, I got them to look at each dump station, and we found Ms. Larson."Joshua was silent. How did that work?He looked up at the anxious faces of the other three and said in a suppressed tone, "Take her to The Spring Resort and wash up. Get a few more people to serve her.""Understood!"Joshua had just hung up whe
Hearing that Gwen was, of all places, found in a dump station, Luna froze amid packing up her things. A moment later, she came to her senses.This explained why Joshua got Lucas to send her straight to The Spring Resort. No wonder he got her and Yannie to accompany Gwen.Gwen had spent the night in a trash bin.Luna, though shocked at first, then found it amusing. Gwen was always a clean freak, a knowledge that Luna had known her for so many years. Gwen had always been clean and tidy.However, she did not expect that…a clean freak for almost her entire life would get into a trash bin when drunk! Luna could even imagine that when Gwen woke up, she would be so shocked she would not dare to admit that she crawled into a trash bin.At that thought, Luna quickly packed up. After getting everything ready, Luna soon pulled Yannie along, about to leave.When they were by the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the men. "Do you guys have anything on today? If n
Catelyn hoped that the Hughes family would pay for what Denise did."Okay." After Luna kissed him, Joshua chuckled and gently hugged her. If Thomas was not there, he would have hugged her and kissed her for a while more.Joshua's hug made her feel safe and warm, so much so that when Joshua let her go, she was blushing."I'll be leaving now," said Luna and quickly left.Hearing her footsteps vanishing in the corridor, Thomas changed into a more comfortable position and looked at Joshua calmly. "Are you two that close?""And what of it?" Joshua smiled and leaned back, looking Thomas in the eye. "We're an old couple but are still head over heels for each other. Seeing you and Yannie, on the other hand…you two don't look like a couple that has just gotten together."Yannie was indeed always obedient toward Thomas, but something seemed to be missing.From how Joshua saw it, for the past few days since they arrived at Saigen City, he had always been busy with Thomas. However, he reali
Luna wanted to laugh, but she did not dare to when she saw how pitiful Gwen looked. She refrained from laughing and walked over to Gwen to hold her hand. "Then tell me—where did you go?""How would I know…" Gwen pursed her lips. "I only remembered having a weird dream. When I woke up, I'm already here."She continued as she glared at Luna to voice out her dissatisfaction, "I was drinking with you, wasn't I? Why didn't you take care of me? Why did you let those people do whatever they want with me and say I went into the dumpster?"Luna was amused. "So you're blaming me because you ran away by yourself?"Gwen furrowed her brow and wanted to say something before she spotted Yannie standing behind Luna. Thus, she let go of Luna and stood up to strode at Yannie and looked at her with a serious face. "Yannie, I know you won't lie to me. Tell me what happened last night in detail."Yannie did not expect Gwen to ask her this. She was caught off-guard for a moment before she lowered her h
