Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2759

Gwen could no longer hear anything Steven said after that.

She bit her lip, and despite her gaze remaining on the laptop screen, her thoughts had already drifted far, far away.

These days, all her interactions and conversations with Steven flashed through her mind.

Then, a memory of Luke.

The two of them were lying on the roof at midnight, stargazing, with Luke's arms around her.

He curled his lips into a smile and said, "Gwen, sometimes I really wish we could go back in time.

"If only I hadn't gone into this business, and if only I had met you before I became a gangster.

"Sometimes, I wonder if things would be better if I became a kind, handsome gentleman with a good family background and education.

"If I were someone like that, no one would ever dare to bring up your past, and everyone would give us their blessings.

"Gwen, I really hope that if we do meet again in our next lives, we won't have to deal with something like this again."

Gwen bit her lip and wrung her hands when she recalled this.

When Luke had said this to her, she thought he was just spouting nonsense.

It was after a long time that she finally realized these were his deepest, most heartfelt thoughts.

He truly thought he was not good enough for her, and he blamed himself for the things that happened to her, which was why he had chosen to sacrifice his life in exchange for hers.
