Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2868

What Joshua said startled Gwen as she stared at him dumbfoundedly. "Seriously?"

"Why do you think it only took him twenty minutes to arrive here, then?" Joshua glanced at Gwen. "I know you don't want to owe him anything or be too involved with him, but you need to face the reality, Gwen.

"No matter how you try to avoid it, you can't deny the fact that you had accepted many favors from him."

He lowered his head and continued organizing the document on the table. "Nonetheless, you don't have to feel too stressed about it. After all, he's Luke's brother, and he's using Luke's body. He's the beneficiary of all of these. It's right for him to help you."

Gwen bit her lip and did not know how to react to what Joshua said.

"Why did you tell all those?" Luna frowned and raised her hand to knock on Joshua's head. She then turned and looked at Gwen with a smile. "Don't mind what he said. Calm yourself first. Our priority now is to save Denise and Sean.

"Now that Sean has a lot of evidence to prove all the bad things Steven's parents did, it'll be easier for us to take them down, as well as the Miller family, once we rescue Sean."

Gwen finally snapped out of it. She bit her lip and looked at Luna. "I understand."

After that, she turned around and took a deep breath to stride to the door.

When the elevator door closed, Luna frowned and looked at Joshua. "Why did you tell her those things?"

Yes, she was curious too why Steven could arrive within half an hour after Gwen called him, but…it would only stress Gwen more if she knew how much Steven would do for her.

"Do you think she won't realize it even if I don't say it?" Joshua looked at Luna and smiled helplessly. "Which is more stressful for her? Me telling her, or she figures it out on her own?"

He flipped to the next page to read as he added, "Now that she knows, she can express her gratitude to Steven immediately when she sees him and keeps her distance at the same time. If we keep it from her and only let her find out about it after Steven has done many things for her…it'll be harder for her to clear her relationship with Steven, and she'll have a hard time repaying those gratitudes."

Luna furrowed her brow as she seemed to understand and yet felt that there was something strange about it. "Does Gwen really need to keep her distance from him?"

"This is Luke's decision." Joshua closed the file in his hands. "Luke told me he doesn't mind if Gwen and Steven get together. He'd be happy if they could be together. But…"

He paused and reminisced back on how sorrowful Luke's voice was when he talked.

…

"I hope Gwen's feelings for Steven aren't mixed with gratitude and her attachment to me. She should stay away from Steven and draw a line between them so she can see her feelings for what they truly are.

"She shouldn't enter the next relationship without thinking straight just because of me, because Steven is my brother, and how sorry and grateful she feels for me and Steven. At least, she should spend some time alone to think it through and figure out what her true feelings are."
