Semua Bab Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy: Bab 2981 - Bab 2990

The man dressed in black frowned upon hearing what Winson said. He looked up at Winson's face with his frosty gaze. "So you're getting close to her because you want her?""Wrong." Winson looked in the direction where Gwen left. He took out his lighter from his pocket to light up the cigarettes and puffed out a ring made out of smoke into the air."Since you and I have the same motive, I'm going to be frank with you: I'm getting close to her to bring her back to Sea City to claim a reward.""Claim a reward?" The man dressed in black stared at Winson. "And what's that?""Don't pretend like you don't know anything." Winson scoffed at that question. "Aren't you after the reward too, seeing as you're trying to win over Gwen? Don't tell me you don't know the gang in Sea City has put a bounty on Gwen to avenge Luke?"The man dressed in black trembled, and his eyebrows furrowed. "A bounty on Gwen just to avenge Luke? Didn't he give Gwen his heart? Isn't it the same as destroying the last

The man dressed in black ignored Winson and looked at Gwen. "Remember what I told you."Odd as it sounded, Gwen felt like she was looking at…Luke.When Luke was still alive, Luke would shoot her an annoyed look when someone interrupted them mid-conversation. The conversation often ended with Luke saying, "Remember what I told you."Every time, she would giggle and nod back at him to show that she remembered what he said, though she always forgot them.Instead of being irked, however, Luke would rub her head softly and sigh. "Sigh! What are you going to do if I'm not around…"It hurt Gwen terribly to recall her memories with Luke. It took more than a while for her to withdraw herself away from the sadness.She lifted her head and looked at the man dressed in black while earnestly replying, the same way she would always do when met with this question by Luke, "I know. I'll remember them."The man dressed in black faltered for a moment briefly, and he nodded. "Alright."After that

"Sigh." Joshua sighed, hearing Luke's rant, and said wearily, "Do I need to send someone to keep you and Gwen safe? You may not be able to handle your old subordinates, even with Steven.""No thanks." Luke snorted and changed to a more comfortable position, leaning on the same pillar. He continued to look in the direction where Gwen and Winson left. "I know those people too well, and they're nothing when they leave Sea City. Your cousin, Sean, is much better than many of them."Joshua laughed. "Sean did want to learn from you, be like you, and become a gang leader."Luke shrugged and sneered. "Why not learn to be a good guy instead? Why did he want to be like me?""Aren't you a good guy?" Joshua paused. "Sean was actually under a lot of pressure. He had been living in the countryside and became a mechanic sometime in his life, only to find out that he, all this while, has a biological older brother and other relatives, which made him feel slightly unhinged."You're the only one wh

How could Winson possibly let her go just like that?The angrier Gwen got, the tighter his grip became. "Come on, Gwen. It's not like you have anything else to do today anyway, so why don't you join me for the rest of the art show? Come on, we've known each other for ages now. Are you seriously going to do this to me?"Gwen sneered as she cast him a cold look. "Yes, we've known each other for ages, and in fact, we used to be close back in high school, but that isn't a reason for you to stop me from leaving!"After all, they had lost touch for so long that in Gwen's opinion, they were more akin to acquaintances instead of friends at this point.The only reason she agreed to come out with him was because she still remembered him from their high school days. If she had failed to recognize him, he would be a stranger to her.What was the point of watching an art show with someone she barely knew?At the thought of this, Gwen bit her lip and grew even more determined to leave without

Still holding onto his hand, Gwen led the man in black out of the art gallery and all the way back to the street where she lived.Finally, they came to a halt as Gwen slumped against the wall of a house, panting. The man behind her, on the other hand, was totally unfazed.He curled his lips into a smile as he glanced at her. "We ran almost five blocks just now. I didn't know you had such good stamina."The man's melodic voice and his teasing tone made Gwen freeze momentarily. For a split second, she could not help thinking that…the man before her was Luke.Not only that, but she had the sudden urge to remove his mask and see if it was him, but she stopped herself from doing so.This man could not possibly be Luke—Luke was dead.Even if Luke's subconscious remained in Steven's body, Steven would never come all the way here.The man before her was just a bodyguard that Joshua hired to protect her, and the reason he was wearing a mask was that he felt conscious of his looks after s
