Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2975

Gwen could not help frowning as she stared at the text.

She was not a child anymore. Winson's insistence on sending her home and his sudden interest in her sent a clear message.

Besides, she remembered a time when Winson used to have a crush on her in high school, just like Ben. However, she turned him down and chose to be with Ben instead.

After a moment's hesitation, Gwen took out her phone and replied, [I'm not up to anything in particular tomorrow, but I don't want to waste your time, Winson. Ever since my ex-boyfriend passed away, I don't think I can fall for anyone else anymore. Let's remain friends.]

With that, she let out a sigh, put down her phone, and strode out onto the balcony.

The moon was exceptionally bright and full that night but emanated a cold hue, much like her heart.

As she closed her eyes, Luke's face appeared in her mind's eye.

She had come to terms with Luke's passing, but she could no longer find it in herself to open her heart to someone new. It was as though Luke's death had taken away the key to her heart, and no one else was able to access it once more.

However…

Gwen opened her eyes and glanced at the street beneath her.

The man in black was sitting in a chair on the street right across from her, nibbling on the cake she ordered for him.

Although he was busy eating, he still took great care to keep his head lowered so that no one could see what he looked like.

Theoretically speaking, Gwen should have been afraid of him, but for some reason, she could not help feeling that he was following her just to look out for her.

However, knowing that her intuition was not always right, as evidenced by her past mistakes, she kept her guard up. After some time, she finally confirmed that her initial suspicions were right.

The man had not meant her any harm at all, and all he was doing was protecting her.

Gwen did not know who sent him here, but she could not help feeling safe whenever she saw him around.

Not only that, but after finding out that Luke's former subordinates were searching all over the place for her, she could not help growing even more grateful for this man's presence. He was like a beam of sunlight in her dark, desolate days.
