Gwen raised her eyebrows. "That's right."
She turned to glance at Steven, who still had his arms wrapped tightly around her. "My dear, you, too, know that you're just a replacement for Luke, don't you?"
Steven lowered his head to meet her sparkling gaze, then gulped. "Of course I do."
With that, he lifted his head to stare at his parents. "I know I'm just a replacement, and I know that Gwen doesn't truly love me at all—she just wants me for my body, but…"
His grip around her tightened as though he wanted to inhale every single particle of her body into his. "I'm willing to do that.
"On second thought, I have both of you to thank for this, Father, and Mother. If it weren't for you, I would never have regained my consciousness, and would never have discovered that I had a twin brother.
"Most importantly, I would never have met this beautiful girl."
He chuckled as he added, "The reason I brought Gwen here to meet you is to let you see what a miracle you guys created. If it weren't for you, I would never have met Gwen, and I wouldn't have the blessing to become her replacement lover."
The color drained from Mrs. Hughes' face.
When she first initiated the deal with the Miller family a year ago, she never thought things would end up this way. All she wanted was for her beloved son to wake up from his coma, and she was willing to pay any price for that!
Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that after Steven's awakening, they would inadvertently cross Thomas and Joshua, and even wound up with that annoying Gwen!
Not only did they lose their precious pawn, Denise, overnight, but even led to their son being put under another woman's spell…
At the thought of this, Mrs. Hughes narrowed her eyes and shot Gwen a murderous look. "You bitch!"
