Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2839

Steven was stunned to hear Gwen's offer. He never thought she would willingly aid him to rescue Denise without the slightest hesitation. He assumed that she would hate Denise, what with being good friends with Luna and Yannie. She must have known the things Denise did.

Gwen smiled as though she could read Steven's mind. "Is it that hard to believe I want to do a good thing?"

Flustered, Steven shook his head. "I don't mean that. I…"

Halfway through the sentence, he frowned and stopped himself from talking.

"You know, Denise talked a lot about you yesterday." Seeing how Steven was visibly struggling to reply, Gwen curled up her lips and smiled. "I know Denise isn't really a bad person."

That sentence shocked Steven. After a while, he curled up his lips and smiled bitterly. He stood up and walked outside as he took his jacket.

Sighing, he said, "I thought you were like the others and assumed Denise is a horrendous character. What did you two talk about?"

Gwen stood up and walked with him. "Denise said…maybe you're the last person in this world who truly cared for her. She even said…"

She paused for a while before deciding to tell Steven everything Denise said to her. "She said she doesn't want you to become Luke and doesn't want to see you disappear from this world. Also…"

She sniffed and gazed into the distance. "Everyone, including me, only cares about Luke and forgot that you, Steven, are a person too—someone with his own life. He's a real person who shares an existence in this world too. There are people who miss him and the people whom he misses too."
