Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2717

"Kate." Steven's brow furrowed as he looked at Kate helplessly. "I thought I'd made everything clear. You—"

"So did I." Kate sneered as she looked at Steven's face. "Do you think you can just call off the wedding because you want to break up with me? It's not as simple as you think!"

Her lips curled into a cold smirk. "Don't forget that I've been traveling around the world for five years to look for a method to treat you. Do you know what motivates me to do that?"

Steven furrowed his brow and did not answer.

"It's the in-depth cooperation between your family and mine."

She knew playing the emotion card could no longer touch Steven's heart. Thus, she stopped pretending and told him everything.

"You're right. We've never met before you were rendered into a coma. My family has always been dedicated and concentrated on the investment and research of medical skills. After you were in a vegetative state, your family came to look for my family. They brought up the marriage arrangement and asked for my family's help.

"It was then that I got to know you, despite you not being able to talk and move at that time. I was indeed attracted by your appearance. Furthermore, my goal was to travel around the world; I didn't have any interest in love or marriage. So, I thought marrying a person in a vegetative state sounded like a good idea. At least no one would control me, and I can have my freedom."

She sighed and smiled. "So, both families reached an agreement. You and I will get married while my family and I will find a way to wake you up. As repayment, your family and my family will cooperate to fight after the largest business empire in this city—Howard Group.

"I used the excuse to look for possible treatment and traveled around the world. I visited many doctors and medical organizations for consultation. Until more than a year ago…"

She narrowed her eyes as if her vision could penetrate the wall to see a further place. "Until more than a year ago. I came back with several remedies to treat you after traveling, and it was during those travels that I saw your brother, Luke. He looked exactly the same as you, but he was more energetic and temperamental than you. It's something that you'll never be. A type of masculine that belongs only to a mature man."

Steven squinted, and the way he looked at Kate became even colder. In spite of that, he did not interrupt her and continued to listen.

As Kate reminisced back the first time she met Luke, she bit her lip. There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in her eyes. "I was fond of your appearance before, but the moment I saw Luke, I knew I had fallen in love with him. My father was stunned, too. Before that, we never knew you had a twin brother. After that, your parents rushed over immediately to explain to us. Only then did we know the truth about why your family abandoned Luke. Later…"

She curled up her lip. "You know it too. Luke came to us because he wanted us to save Gwen, wanting to give his heart to Gwen. After much consideration, we agreed to help him. When Luke prepared everything and chose to die, we successfully revived you."

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she looked at Steven. "It has been five years since the cooperation between both families. We've already become one unit and inseparable. Your family has already treated me as their own.

"Are you going to destroy both families or piss off your parents just because you want to break up with me?"
