Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2338

The warm afternoon sun seeped through the window and into the dining room.

Gwen’s tiny, pleading face looked extra endearing in the warm light.

Luke turned around, but when faced with Gwen's hopeful gaze, the words 'in your dreams' got caught in his throat, unable to be enunciated.

He froze for a moment and finally asked," What... do you want to eat?"

Truth be told, from the moment he rose and became the ruler of Sea City, he had sworn never to step foot in a kitchen again. It was not because he hated cooking, but because... the only reason he had learned cooking in the first place was to appease the men he thought were his friends.

When he first joined the mob, he treated everyone like a friend and constantly cooked for them out of kindness, but what happened after that?

When he was bullied for his size, his ’ friends’ had declared to everyone else that he was nothing but a slave to them.

No matter how furious he was, Luke knew he could never stand a chance against them.

At that time, he was inexperienced and had no one to rely on, so he knew the only chance he had of surviving was to bear this injustice in silence.

The reason he chose to remain in the mob was that, without their support, he would have an even harder time trying to survive on his own.

Therefore, he remained as a lowly cook in charge of taking care of everyone’s meals, at the expense of being looked down on and treated like a slave, until one day...

When he finally met that person, he finally understood that even skinny, physically disadvantaged people could succeed as long as they had the courage and guts to survive.

That night, he injured almost half the gangsters with his trusty kitchen knife.

After slaughtering the leader, who picked on him more than anyone else, he became the new, rightful ruler of the mob.

From that day onwards Luke swore he would never step foot in a kitchen or touch another knife again.

This contained all the memories of his rough and tumble past, the memories that he would never want to relive, no matter what.
