Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1879

Luna chewed her bottom lip and hugged Gwen's trembling body.

"It's fine, it's fine. Since you can't run anymore...let's stop."

Luna knew fully well why Gwen was so desperate to escape from Luke.

It was not only because he had killed Gwen's fiance, but there were plenty of other reasons.

For example, he never took notice of Gwen's preferences and would always fire the servants and maids she liked.

He would always suspect that Gwen was having an affair with some of his subordinates and would constantly punish them for this.

On top of that...

He robbed her of her freedom.

Apart from forbidding her from going out, h e would sometimes feed her medicine that put her to sleep, and every time he did this, she would end up sleeping for two days and wake up with fresh hickeys and bruises all over her body.

Sometimes, Gwen would wake up with rope marks over her wrists and ankles and even needle track marks on her elbows.

This man was deluded.

Alas, out of sheer rotten luck, Gwen just so happened to get involved with him, and it was too late to escape.

Gwen would never be able to go back to being an ordinary girl.

In the past, Gwen constantly wanted to change her fate and was never satisfied with being ordinary, but after she met Luke, she suddenly realized that to be ordinary was the greatest blessing there could ever be.

"Luna..."

Gwen cried in Luna's arms for a long time before her sobs turned into sniffles. She lifted her head to stare at Luna, her eyes etched with despair. "I've been planning this escape plan for an entire night and even mapped out my route...

"This morning, I watched with my own two eyes as Luke got into the car and left.

"I had placed a tracker on his car, and after confirming that he had left Merchant City, I only started moving..."

She wiped the tears from her eyes and continued morosely, "I thought I was so stealthy that he wouldn't be able to find me.

Gwen let out a bitter chuckle and lifted her head to stare at Luna once more. "The only person who knows I was planning to escape was you, but I know you’d never betray me. I don't understand how he could've..."

A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart when she heard this.

She was just about to comfort Gwen when suddenly, her phone rang again.

Luna frowned and glanced at the caller ID.
