Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2844

Thomas scoffed when he heard this. "I thought that as a gang leader, you'd be cutthroat and merciless, but I'm surprised that you'd say something like this."

He gave a stretch and added, "I never said I wouldn't show Denise mercy; she was the one who had agreed to my task on her own terms.

"Before you appeared, I had been talking to Joshua about what to do with Denise. Since she appeared genuine, I wouldn't be too harsh on her even if she failed to meet my task.

With that, he shot her a meaningful look and gently stroked the skin on the back of her palm. "I know you miss me, but Gwen, when I first tried to save you, I had intended to sacrifice my life in return for yours.
