Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2977

Neither Luna nor Bonnie expected this response from her. They sent her a playful sticker in reply, retorting, [I can't believe this. We're just concerned about you, yet you've resorted to attacking our husbands. We're going to tell them about this now, and they'll find a way to track you down and capture you home!]

[Please don't. I was kidding, I'm fully aware of Joshua and Jim's ferocity.] Gwen snickered at this. [I'm not done having fun yet, so I'm not ready to come home.]

Luna could not help sighing at this. She tilted onto her side, trying to ease her sore muscles, and continued typing, [Haven't you had enough fun, considering how long you've spent out there all by yourself now? When are you coming home? We all miss you dearly.]

[I don't have any plans for that as of now.] Gwen paused, then told them everything her father had told her on the phone. [Banyan City and Sea City are too close to each other. I think I'd better stay away for now, lest I get in trouble.]

[What are you afraid of?] Bonnie pursed her lips as she extended her high-heeled foot to Jim's side.

Jim grinned at her, then gently removed her shoe and prepared her footbath.

Bonnie let out a sigh of relief as she lowered her exhausted feet into the warm water, then continued typing, [Banyan City is Joshua's territory, and as much as those thugs would like to think they're omnipotent, they wouldn't dare stir up trouble right under Joshua's nose.]

[Bonnie's right.] Luna's reply came quickly. [With Joshua around, there's nothing you have to be scared of!]

[Hey, Joshua has sacrificed enough for you, and I'm not going to elevate his burden.] Gwen was determined. [Besides, they know where I am, but I have no idea where they're hidden. If I return to Banyan City, they will surely keep a close eye on me, and perhaps one day, when Joshua is out of sight, they'll capture me and bring me back to Sea City, so I think I should stay put.]

Luna hesitated a moment when she saw this but did not try to argue.

The truth was, she had matured a lot during her time in prison, and she finally began to understand that Joshua was not as omnipotent as they all thought. He still had his limitations, and she could not allow him to expend any more energy taking care of her messes.

It was tiring enough for him to constantly be cleaning up after her messes, and she could not allow him to be burdened by taking care of Gwen too.

Besides, the biggest lesson she had learned was that…sometimes it paid off to be alone than be with friends.

She did not want the tragedy of Anne's death to repeat itself.

Therefore, after some contemplation, Luna finally replied solemnly, [Alright, then. Enjoy your time out there, but I can't help but wonder if it will be a good idea to hire a personal bodyguard?]

Since Luke's old subordinates were turning the entire place upside down in search of Gwen, it was a matter of time before they would finally find her. She would feel more at ease if Gwen were to employ a bodyguard to protect her.

However, instead of asking Joshua to do so, she wanted to give Gwen the authority. After all, since Gwen was unwilling to reveal her current location, Luna did not want Gwen to think that she was trying to track her down by offering to send Joshua's men her way.

[Huh?] Gwen leaped up from her bed. [Hire a personal bodyguard?]

She could not help frowning at this. [Haven't you already employed someone to follow me around?]
