Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2864

Even if Steven knew Mr. and Mrs. Hughes had done many bad things, they were still his parents. They never did anything bad to him.

Gwen understood the struggle and helplessness he felt. Thus, she curled up her lips and smiled. "I understand. You don't have to feel bad or blame yourself. I believe if you're Luke now, he'd make the same decision as you. Don't worry. I'll tell Joshua and Thomas about this. We'll rescue Denise and Sean."

Her sweet voice soothed his hanging heart. He gripped the phone tightly and shut his eyes. "Thank you, Gwen."

"Don't thank me yet. I have a favor to ask."

Steven's breathing halted at this. After a while, he asked quickly, "What can I help you with?"

He thought they would never cross paths again after how things ended in the hotel. It took him a long time to gather up his courage to make this call, and he never thought Gwen would actually request a favor from him.

He was willing to help. No matter what Gwen asked of him, he would do it.

Gwen was right. Luke and he were selfish. They ignored if their contributions were what she wanted and did it anyway. Hence, if Gwen was willing to ask for a favor, he would do anything to help her, no matter what it took.

Steven's excitement was evident in his response. A weird feeling appeared in her heart as she heard it through the phone.

She thought…after how cold she treated him, he would outright reject her. It surprised her that Steven would agree to help out so quickly, as though he was so afraid she would regret asking it.

Gwen felt like her heart was stuffed with something, making her feel slightly suffocated because of Steven's reaction.

She took a deep breath and said, "Steven, I'd like to be your fake girlfriend."
