Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2714

"Steven, I know how much you wanted to look for Gwen to tell her everything," said Kate as she took a deep breath and stared at Steven spacing out. "But no matter what, you shouldn't harm yourself."

As she talked, she reached out to hold Steven's hand, and her eyes gleamed with worry. "Your mother called me this morning, telling me that you've gone mad, had hurt yourself, and ran away. Do you know how worried I was?"

She looked at him as a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye. "After I told you everything about Gwen last night, I was so scared that you'd leave me, so I didn't sleep well. Then, I heard that you were hurt and ran away from your house early in the morning. Later, I received news that you were in an accident and were sent to the hospital.

"I was worried sick! Who knew the first thing you ask when you woke up was about Gwen…"

She wiped away her tears and asked, "Is Gwen more important than me in your heart?"

Steven felt distressed and uneasy because of Kate's words and tears. All the things he wanted to say got stuck in his throat. Finally, he sighed and held Kate's hand. "Kate, I'm sorry for making you worry about me."

Once Steven started to comfort her, Kate cried bitterly as tears came out of her eyes like an opened tap water. Helplessly, Steven quickly helped her to wipe the tears off her face. That caused Steven to accidentally pull the wound that the doctor had just stitched up for him. His face turned pale immediately as he groaned in pain.

"Are you alright?" Kate stopped crying. She bit her lip and pressed down on his shoulder. "Don't move."

Steven was slightly touched by Kate's worried voice. After a while, he looked up and stared at Kate's face.

"Kate, let's break up."

He could no longer keep holding Kate anymore. After she told him about the connection between him and Luke, he thought deeply. He kept asking if he had any feelings for Kate and if he really loved her.

Until now…he only felt nervous and anxious in his heart when he saw Kate crying. He did not want her to cry, but not because he was worried or feeling heartbroken. Instead, he felt guilty and that she should have not cried because of him.

He knew very well that the feeling he had for her was not love. He did not love Kate. Thus, even when Kate did so much for him and he owed her a great deal, he just could not find it in him to be with her. He could not give her what she wanted.

If they continued to be together, they would only dance around in torment. It would also give Kate the impression that they were both in love with each other. Maybe it would also cause Kate to miss out on her Mr. Right!

"What did you say?" Kate could not believe what she heard. Her eyes widened as she looked at Steven shockingly.

"Steven, Did I… Did I hear it wrongly?" she hesitated. "Or was I hallucinating? You…"

"You heard it right; you didn't hallucinate." Steven took a deep breath and looked up at Kate's face with a solemn expression. "I said, let's break up. I don't want to hold you up anymore and let you have the impression that we're both in love with each other.

"You and Gwen are the same. The person you like is Luke, not me."
