Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2715

Kate stared at Steven with a stupefied expression as she fell silent for a good while. Then, she bit her lip, and her voice sounded vague. "Steven, what nonsense are you talking about? I've always loved you. When did I—"

"Is that so?" interjected Steven, his voice cold. "Kate, before my coma, and even before I had the accident, you and I have never met. We were only bound by the marriage agreement. When I woke up, people told me you are my girlfriend, my fiancee, and that you'd done many things for me. While I was touched, I was surprised too. After all, I don't remember us knowing each other. More importantly, I don't remember any promises that we made before.

"The first time we met should be after I had my accident. You keep saying that you love me, but why do you do so? Because you had one look at me after I was in a vegetative state. Were you attracted to my body so much that you'd do anything to get me?

"Maybe there is such a love in this world, but this is obviously not the case between you and me. Every time when you look at me, I feel that you're looking at another person. Your look tells me that it isn't me that you are looking at."

Kate bit her lip vehemently and shook her head. "No, that's not it."

She reached out her hand to grab Steven's hand, her voice quivering as she pleaded, "Steven, that's not it! I love you. It's you that I love! Why would I do all those things if I don't love you? If I loved Luke, why would I turn Luke into you? I can just give your heart to Gwen and be together with Luke, can I?"

"No, you can't." Steven looked at her with a pair of calm eyes. "Because Luke doesn't like you. You know that no matter what you do for Luke, he'd never like you. Just to own Luke, you turned him into me."

He looked up and smiled at Kate. "I was curious why I'd have weird dreams and weird scars on my body. I didn't understand why you insist on me taking the military knife I didn't like and also buying clothing in the style that I don't like.

"However, I finally understand now after knowing that I'm actually Luke. You like me because you think of me as a replacement."

For a moment, Kate was startled by Steven's sensitivity and calm voice. She had the impression that the person in front of her was Luke instead of Steven, too.

Steven had always been a pure young adult. By right, he should remain in the same condition he was five years ago. How did he suddenly become so mature and smart to the extent that he could find the most useful information from all of the evidence, analyzing Kate's real intention in turn?

Kate quivered. As it turned out, even after Luke's mind was replaced with Steven's mind, logic, and also memory, Luke was still Luke. He was still the smart and sensitive person Kate could not control.

He curled up his lips into a mocking smile as he somewhat saw through Kate's thoughts.

"So, Kate, let's break up. I'll either repay you in cash or others for the things I owe you. A lot more than what I owe you. I won't let your sacrifice and effort for the last five years be for nothing, but forget about us being together as a couple."

Kate bit her lip silently. She looked up and asked, "Then, are you breaking up with me to go look for Gwen?"
