Chapter 8 Mistaken for Someone Else

last update Last Updated: 2023-05-16 21:05:29
Judging from Liam's face, Gwyneth knew that she would not be able to leave without giving him an explanation. However, after five hours of intense surgery, she did not have the strength to deal with the man.

Annoyed, she pulled up the hem of her clothes to reveal a burn mark on the side of her waist. "Please refrain from questioning my medical knowledge, Mr. Luther. I know what a burn and a scald look like. I can even differentiate them with my eyes closed."

Gwyneth ignored the shock on Liam's face and continued, "Is this good enough for you? Do you see the obvious difference now? This is a burn from a fire; Elizabeth's mark is a scald due to boiling water." She pointed to the scar on her waist when she said that.

Something flashed across Liam's mind, and he asked, "When did you get that?"

"I got it when I was younger. Why? Are you interested in knowing my past, Mr. Luther?"

Gwyneth found it ridiculous that even though they were husband and wife, this was the first time she showed him her skin. She looked at Liam and saw his eyes moving from her face to her waist, his gaze staying there.

Liam pursed his lips and did not question her further. Even a layman like him could distinguish the two injuries after seeing such a stark contrast. 'There's no way it's just a scald. I heard those painful screams during the fire. I even smelled the smell of burning fabric and skin. Did I... mistaken Elizabeth for someone else?'

Liam thought about how Elizabeth had acted earlier and returned to his senses. He looked at Gwyneth, and a strong premonition came over him. 'How can I be confused about something this important? That girl saved my life without caring for her own safety. I have to find out who she is.'

Gwyneth sensed that Liam was bothered, but she did not care. "I've given you an explanation. Can I go now?" Before the man could answer, Gwyneth walked past him, bumping his shoulders, and stood before the elevator door.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in her mind.

"Mr. Luther, I've signed the divorce papers and saved Elizabeth's life. Can you do your part and sign them now?"

Gwyneth was clearly done with the marriage, but Liam was not.

"No, I'm not going to sign the papers," he said with a firm tone.

This made Gwyneth mad. "If I remember correctly, you have been looking forward to the divorce, Liam. Yet you don't want it now? What are you getting at?"

Liam could hear the ridicule in Gwyneth's words. He turned around to look at her, and there was a slight change in his gaze. 'If she's the girl who saved me...'

"Give me three months," he said with a calm face and a slight frown. There was even a hint of sincerity in his tone of voice.

Gwyneth was taken aback by that. In all the time they had been together, she had never seen Liam display that facial expression before.

"Three months, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer when the time is up." Liam's hands were covered in sweat as his heart beat faster and faster. "We've been together for three years, Ms. Glen. I'm sure three months would be nothing."

Because she did not want to argue and was touched by the man's unprecedented expression, Gwyneth pursed her lips and looked at the date. "Okay. Three months. I'll wait for your answer."

    Without giving Liam a chance to speak, Gwyneth turned around and left for the Luther residence. When she left the mansion that morning, she was too excited and had forgotten to double-check her belongings. So, she was afraid she missed a few of her items.The butler was glad that Gwyneth was back. But happiness turned into disappointment when he learned she was there to pack her things. "Young Madam, is there no way that you and Mr. Luther...""Don't say anything, Edward." Gwyneth smiled at Edward and went upstairs to find her room, which was a guest room. She had lived in this mansion for three years; to say she was not sad was impossible. However, she knew that those emotions would subside over time.Gwyneth was in the middle of gathering her items when a familiar voice sounded behind her. "Where do you think you're going?"Annoyed, Gwyneth rolled her eyes and turned to see Liam leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed. "My, my. What do we have here? Mr. Luther, who practi

    "Young Madam..." The servants addressed Gwyneth as she walked out of the room on the second floor.Gwyneth knew that Liam was the one who set this up, but there was no reason for her to get mad at the help. Hence, she stood in the kitchen and imagined that the egg in her pan was Liam. "What a psycho," she muttered."What? Are you disappointed that the only thing I did last night was spoon you?" A sudden voice sounded from behind.Gwyneth was so startled that she nearly knocked over the frying pan. "Hey! Can you stop coming behind me and scaring me like that?!" She turned around and looked at Liam, mad at how he was acting and especially since he refused to sign the papers when he was the one who initiated the divorce."Hmm. Tell me what's worse, Mrs. Luther. Scaring someone from behind or talking shit about them behind their back?"Liam examined the woman in front of him. She was in a loose loungewear with her hair tied up and had no makeup on, which gave her a clean look. He had

    Gwyneth ran back to the guest room and sat on the newly made bed, panting heavily. After a while, she rushed into the bathroom as if she had thought of something. She took off her clothes and turned the shower on. The thought of being held by Liam all night made her sick, especially after he grabbed her chin.Gwyneth exited the bathroom after more than ten minutes, her chin red from an intense scrub. It was enough to show how much she hated Liam's touch. Fortunately, the shower made her feel better.While unpacking her suitcase, she grabbed her phone and called Wesley. She loathed staying with Liam for three more months and had to rearrange her plans if she was doing it."What do you need, Boss?" Wesley asked from the other side of the phone."Put the international piano competition on the agenda.""The one where they invited you to become one of the judges? Didn't you decide that you weren't going, Boss?""Make an itinerary and book the flights," Gwyneth said without answering W

    Gwyneth could not hold herself back from rolling her eyes at Liam. 'This man is literally crazy. It's a pity, really. Too bad I'm not sensitive enough to go along with his madness.'"Thank you for your interest, Mr. Luther. However, I'm sleepy and not in the mood right now." Before Liam could say anything, Gwyneth faked a smile, reclined her seat, and leaned against it.This made Liam mad. He had never taken the initiative to hear someone out, let alone be rejected after making the offer. He looked at Gwyneth, who had her eyes closed, and when he saw her eyelashes flutter, it stirred up emotions in his heart.Just as Liam was about to continue speaking, his phone rang abruptly. He frowned slightly and grabbed his phone to see who it was. When he saw the name on the screen, he smiled at Gwyneth and answered the call."Mr. Luther...""Is something wrong, Judy?" Liam had never called Judy by her first name before, but he deliberately did it this time for Gwyneth to hear.Judy was un

    People want what they cannot have; this was prominent in Liam's case. He pursed his lips and held out his fingers, gently touching the side of Gwyneth's face. He enjoyed the warmth.Liam was a mess since he saw Gwyneth's burn mark at the hospital. He even tried to learn more about the differences between burns and scalds. It was not because he did not believe her but because the truth was too important.Gwyneth frowned and grabbed his hand because Liam was disturbing her sleep. His pupils dilated at her touch, and he squinted his eyes to hide his feelings.'This woman literally changed overnight after signing the divorce papers,' Liam thought. "Just how much are you hiding from me?" He asked as he slowly pulled away from Gwyneth's hand. He tucked in her loose hair, and the corners of his lips turned into a smile.Liam had reoccurring dreams about the fire from his childhood recently. The smell of burned wood filled his nostrils, and the image of burning flames filled his eyes. He t

    Slowly turning her head, Gwyneth saw Liam's strong jawline and the upturned corner of his mouth. Other than that, she noticed a wet stain on his shirt. The thought of her sleeping while leaning against Liam made her want to jump off the plane."What? Did you not sleep well? Well, I think..." When Gwyneth heard the flirtatious voice coming from beside her ear, she immediately got up to leave before Liam could finish his sentence. However, her legs were not as quick as his hands.Liam firmly grasped Gwyneth's wrist and said, "Don't you have other strategies apart from running away?""Who cares as long as it's effective?!" She turned to meet his eyes and gritted her teeth. She shook her arm vigorously, trying to get away. However, with one pull from Liam, she fell to the seat due to inertia."You—" she was about to curse him when his handsome face approached her. "We're on a plane, Mrs. Luther. There's nowhere for you to escape."Gwyneth blinked and looked at the man in front of her.

    The following day, Judy was preparing herself backstage at the piano competition venue. However, it was less about preparing and more about enjoying the attention of the many men surrounding her. Her background and appearance made it nearly impossible for her not to be noticed. Besides, she reveled in being surrounded by admirers, even though she did not care for any of them. As she finished applying her makeup, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye. She immediately shook off the men around her and strode forward."Liam, you really came."To Judy's knowledge, Liam rarely attended such events. But, now that he was here, it must be for her sake. She was ecstatic, not only because she held a special place in Liam's heart but also because she was sure to win the competition with him present.

    Judy saw Gwyneth sitting in the middle of the panel, her eyes filled with laughter as the latter looked at her. Liam was seated in the guest area. Compared to Judy's surprise, his shock was beyond words. In their three years of marriage, he could not recall a single time when she had practiced the piano."Please welcome our next contestant, Judy."Upon hearing the host's words, Judy's heart trembled. She gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with anger as she stared at Gwyneth. 'How dare this woman look down on me?'

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Judy forced a smile that looked more painful than tears.Gwyneth, sitting at the judges' table, could not help but laugh out loud at the scene. As expected, Judy made two mistakes during her performance, and her rhythm was a complete mess. Gwyneth frowned, then spoke softly. "That's enough,

    After a restful night, Gwyneth returned to Greer College to meet up with Willa… Willa, for one, had placed high value on their meeting, to the point where she had postponed a class just so that they could discuss things without any interruption. Stirring her coffee, Willa chuckled as she muttered, “So, before moving on, let me apologize if I came off as snobbish the first time we met… I just have high standards since I want my work to be loved by many, you know? With that out of the way, let’s talk about the collaboration… I admit I like the plot, but… There are several conditions that you need to think about before we can proceed.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth found herself surprised that her demands weren’t outrageous at all. In fact, Gwyneth would’ve followed those principles even if Willa hadn’t brought them up! Though this was nothing to Gwyneth, it meant the world to Willa. After all, it was hard to find someone so honest these days, and she was rather grateful that she h

    After putting some distance between them, Aubrey couldn’t help but ask, “…Are you sure she’ll agree…? If you need help, I do know a few scriptwriters that could easily replace Willa…” Sure, she had faith in her friend, but Aubrey seemed like a tough nut to crack… It didn’t help that there were so many other competent screenwriters out there to compete with! To her dismay, Gwyneth simply grinned and replied, “Don’t worry, I have a feeling that she’ll soon see things the way I do…” Just as Aubrey was about to sigh in defeat, a young man suddenly ran up to them and said, “Well hey there, ladies… Where to?” It was clear that he had his eyes on Gwyneth, and following a smirk, Aubrey replied, “Kid, you’re years too early to try hitting on us…” Sheepishly scratching the back of his head, the man muttered, “I mean, can I at least have your number…?” Naturally, Gwyneth wasn’t about to humor this person, especially since he was already starting to annoy her.
