Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2871

"You can't stop me," Steven interjected as soon as she finished her sentence. "I don't care what any of you think; I want to be with Gwen. This is between the two of us, and is none of your business."

All of a sudden, he recalled the reason he had called his mother in the first place, so he took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "Mother, you've misunderstood all this. Gwen and I truly love each other, and if you don't believe me, feel free to come to visit us, and bring Father along, too. Gwen and I will show you how genuine we are."

Mrs. Hughes could not help snickering when she heard this. "You're going to show me how genuine you are? How naive of you to think you truly love each other! You're just a gullible man being strung along by a calculating witch!"

She sneered and added, "My dear son, please open your eyes and see that woman for what she truly is! All she wants from you is your life!"

Steven curled his lips into a smirk. "Mother, I've already told you; if you and Father come visit us, you'll see for yourselves just how in love we are, but if you don't…"

He paused for a moment before saying, "I'll do what Denise did and leave Saigen City with Gwen, and we'll spend the rest of our lives in Sea City.

"We'll be waiting for you at The Orient tonight. The ball is in your court."

With that, he let out an exhale and hung up.

A glimmer of malice flashed through Mrs. Hughes' eyes as she gripped the phone tightly, listening to the dial tone.

Finally, she slammed the phone onto the ground and shrieked, "That bitch!"

It was one thing for Denise to run away and elope, but another thing entirely when her only son threatened to do the same. Not to mention he was tricked into doing this by that calculating bitch!
