Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2990

The man's voice was solemn.

Gwen bit her lip and could not help feeling guilty for her insensitivity again. The somberness in his tone made her realize that she had overstepped her boundaries again.

She bit her lip and turned to look at him.

She had turned around because she thought it would be more earnest to apologize to him face to face, but to her surprise, when he saw her turn, the man extended his hands toward his ears in preparation to remove his mask.

"Wait!" Gwen furrowed her eyebrows and stopped him. "Don't take off your mask…"

His hands stiffened. He frowned, then asked in a low voice, "Why not?"

He had already prepared for this moment. After all, there was no point continuing to meet each other like this, and he thought he might as well reveal his identity to Gwen once and for all.

He never once thought that Gwen would change her mind at the last minute.

"I…" Gwen quickly turned around and avoided his gaze. "Joshua told me about your situation."

The man's eyebrows furrowed. "So…"

"He told me that you suffered a tragic accident during one of your missions and ruined your looks and that you are still self-conscious about it… The truth is, you shouldn't feel obliged to reveal yourself to me if you don't want to. That's too cruel.

"I wouldn't mind if you want to continue hiding yourself. It doesn't concern me at all what you look like. After all, you're just a bodyguard here to protect me… I apologize for stepping out of line just now."

The man froze when he heard this. A split second later, he narrowed his eyes as he tried his best to control his emotions. "Alright. Thank you for understanding."
