[I…didn't.] Gwen sighed when she saw Sean's text. [Nothing. Just asking.][Don't you worry.] Sean sent a reassuring sticker alongside his reply. [I know how much Luke and Steven meant to you, so you'll be the first to know if I hear anything. Don't be too sad, okay? Since Steven has chosen to start his new life afresh, I'm sure he must've landed on his feet, and we should be happy for him.][You should move forward and stop getting caught up in the past. Remember, you have your own life to live.][You're right.] Gwen sighed. [I shouldn't be caught up in the past anymore, and it's about time I live my own life. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. How's Denise doing?][Not too well, but the doctor says she's improving, and I'm sure she'll be up and at it in no time.]After a brief chat with Sean, Gwen decided to flip through all the contacts of her old friends and family in Sea City, including the employees that had worked for Larson Group under her and her father, Andy.She could no
"I'll think of something." Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, downed the entire glass of water Gwen had poured for him, and set the empty glass down on the table. "Since none of the people you contacted know anything…maybe Kurt and I can give it a try."Gwen's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying that you and Kurt are going to try joining the gang?""Yes." Stefan nodded. "Kurt used to be a part of it, so I'm sure it won't be hard for him to rejoin. As for me, you've seen me in combat; I'm sure I'll hold up well against them. But…"He paused, then glanced at Gwen. "I need your help on something."Gwen was puzzled by this. "What is it?""I need some help from the husband of your friend, that Joshua Lynch fellow," Stefan said with a frown, trying to pretend that he and Joshua did not know each other. "Winson has met me before, and since he's part of the gang here in Sea City, he might be able to recognize me and, in doing so, will know that you've returned. This will bring a lot of trou
The next morning, Gwen woke up at the crack of dawn. She called Luna on the phone while she was washing up, and told Luna about her request."No problem!" Luna was smiling as she said this. "You say that that bodyguard of yours needs a mask, huh? Well, what kind is he looking for? One that's made to imitate human skin? I don't think that's a good idea. It'll come off easily if someone were to punch him, and I think a better option will be something made of metal, like those masks you wear to a costume party. We can easily make it look more lifelike!"That way, even if he wears the mask, you'll still be able to see the angles of his jaw and his other features…" Luna explained as she busied herself in the kitchen. "I think you'll be captivated by him sooner or later."Gwen almost choked on her mouthwash when she heard this. She let out a few coughs, then finally got herself together. "Why are you becoming more mischievous as time passes? I'm getting him a mask so that he can go underc
Gwen massaged her glabella helplessly while continuing to talk to Luna on the phone. "Sure thing. Be it the best prop master in the world or just any prop master. Just get him here as soon as possible."For some reason, Gwen had a feeling Luna was being more paranoid after serving her sentence in jail. Maybe she was using this method to cover her pain from losing Anne.All of a sudden, Luke came into Gwen's mind. Back in the past, she often felt sorrow when she thought of Luke. Sometimes, she even lost her mind.At present, however, she could face reality calmly.Of course, she did not know how long it was going to take for Luna to reach this phase.Once she finished talking, she went out to buy breakfast.When she returned, she knocked on Stefan's room and passed the breakfast to him. Subsequently, she went to Kurt's room and asked him to join her for breakfast.Kurt came out and looked at Stefan's room curiously. "You're not going to invite Stefan?"Gwen smiled and pointed at
"Do you want the truth?" Gwen asked faintly with a frown and looked at Kurt.After a pause, Kurt nodded. "Of course."Gwen said seriously, "I don't want him back. Although you might find it unbelievable, I really don't want him to come back to me."If Luke reappeared, that meant Steven had to leave. The last time Luke came back, he specifically stated as Steven's brother, he hoped Steven could continue to live a happy life in his body. Therefore, she believed that was always Luke's wish.It was definitely not Luke's wish if he came back one day. It was more like Steven did not want to exist anymore.Thus…Gwen would rather maintain this current situation where Luke and Steven coexisted in the same body and lived in a place where no one knew them.Maybe they would find a girl who could accept them and live happily together…She chose to give them her blessing and provided them the space they deserved. This was the last gift she could give to them.The answer left Kurt stunned a
After Kurt left the place, Stefan and Gwen were the only ones left in the dining area.Gwen coughed and tried to clear her messy mind. She looked up, "I'm very sure my heart has its peace now. Why?""That's good if it's true." Stefan did not know what kind of thought had just run through Gwen's mind. He gave her a smile. "Then we can proceed with the next steps now."He continued, "Have you told Kurt?"Gwen rolled her eyes. "Not yet. I was going to but then you came out.""Sorry to disturb you two then."Stefan raised his brow and took out his phone to call Kurt.Soon enough, Kurt answered the phone."Come back now." Stefan gave out a plain and simple order before hanging up the phone.Within five minutes, Kurt showed up at the front door. "What is it?"Gwen had her eyes widened. It shocked her tremendously that she had trouble talkingKurt and Stefan… She remembered they only knew each other for less than a day.'When did Stefan ask Kurt for his number? And why did Kurt do
"No problem!" Before Gwen finished talking, Kurt intercepted, "You're the love of Luke. Even if he's not around anymore, I will do everything you ask."Most importantly, Luke was still with them.Gwen was actually expecting that it was going to take some time to convince Kurt to help her. She was stunned when Kurt agree so easily.After a while, she took a deep breath and nodded. "If you're willing to help, then let's get started. You and Stefan…"She continued after a pause, "Stefan is from another city. He doesn't know Sea City as much as you do. Please take care of him. There are a lot of things about the gang that he doesn't know. I hope you can help him out too."Kurt smiled, "Not a problem."As a matter of fact, Stefan actually knew more about the gang and the members than him. Stefan may be the one helping him out instead.Gwen felt better knowing Kurt would look after Stefan. She took a deep breath. "I will make sure you are well rewarded after the mission is accomplishe
"I never think…" Stefan curled up his lips into a smile. "I never think I was a handsome guy in the past until I met a girl. She told me I was the most handsome man she saw. Then I believed her."While he was talking, he looked at Gwen. "And I remembered what she told me for many many years."Gwen was shocked for a while and it was followed by a smile. "Did you end up being together with the girl?"Stefan curled his lips. "When she said that, I was still living poorly. She was from a rich family and I was not worthy to be together with her. Besides, she was in love with someone else. But…"He looked at Gwen seriously, "But both of us were together for a short period. That was the happiest moment of my life."He was referring to the time he first met Gwen and the time he and Gwen were together.However, Gwen did not remember seeing Luke before and she also did not remember she used to say he was very good-looking.Without pondering too much, she asked, "Are you saying you two bro
