Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2857

Sean was surprised. He exchanged looks with Denise before he followed Gwen out the door.

Gwen brought Sean out of the room and walked to the end of the hallway. When they were at the staircase, she stopped and turned to look at Sean. "Luke came back last night."

It bewildered Sean so much that his eyes widened, looking as though almost popping out of their sockets. After a while, he frowned and asked cautiously, "Gwen, when you said he came back last night, are you saying, like…in your dream?"

Sean's question baffled Gwen for a moment, but it was not long that she realized she had worded herself wrongly. "No, not in my dream!" she chuckled.

She pinched her glabella and thought for a while before telling how one of Steven's split personalities was Luke.

Sean was shocked that he was speechless for a long time. "Are you saying…Steven and Luke can coexist in the same body? When Steven is submitted in a certain predicament, he'll become Luke?"

What a miracle!

Gwen pinched her glabella again. "You can say that, but Luke…doesn't want to come out anymore. He prefers to let Steven live healthily and happily than returning himself, so I'll persuade Steven to continue his medication so his condition will stabilize, all to keep his split personality in check."

Lastly, she sighed. "The reason I asked you to come is that Luke told me something last night. He hoped that you'll pass the message to his brothers in Merchant City and Sea City."

She smiled bitterly. "You know about my case too. If I'm the one who tells his brothers, some of them might think I was the one who killed Luke…"

She was extremely sincere when she said that.

Sean nodded. "Alright. Tell me, then."

Although Sean was not close with Gwen, he understood the gang's condition. After Luke was gone, some irrational members insisted Gwen was the one who killed Luke and that Gwen was a curse. Some even suggested flying over to Saigen City to take Gwen's heart as vengeance for Luke.

Those people who had such a mindset were just the minority, of course, and they had been educated that it was wrong to think so. Nonetheless, Gwen's worry was right. Perhaps she had been together with Luke long enough for the past year to know what kind of impression Luke's brothers had of her to say that.

"Boss…truly is a responsible person." Hearing Gwen's explanation, Sean sighed and solemnly said, "I thought that according to his strong personality from the past, he'd want to take over Steven's body and live his life again. It just never crossed my mind that…"

He never thought Luke was a person to care for others. The Hughes family never admitted him as their family, and Steven never said Luke was his brother, too. Nonetheless, Luke still treated Steven as his brother. Not only that, but he even sacrificed himself to give Steven the best.

All that, and he was the only one suffering.

"He won't." Gwen curled up her lips and smiled. "In your eyes, Luke was a gang leader who killed and did all sorts of bad things. Yet, in truth…"

She was the only one who saw how gentle Luke was, and the moments when he was the weakest. He was never the cruel, indifferent person everyone thought he was.
