“From what I‘m seeing now, it doesn‘t seem like you need my help to cheer you up anymore.”
Gwen managed to compose herself gracefully. No one knew why, but her condition progressively got better after Luna and Bonnie knew Luke had passed away. Over the past month, she had been complaining about Luke. She said Luke was a heartless jerk for not visiting her. Nonetheless, after Luna knew Luke had passed away, she never heard Gwen say that anymore.
It was as though Gwen knew why Luke never came back when no one told her the reason, so she could not have known about this either. Based on her personality, she would not be so calm if she found out.
Having thought that, Luna looked at the grinning Gwen. The only reason she could think that made Gwen have these changes was because of Luke‘s heart.
Maybe... Luke did not want Gwen to be so sad and upset, so Gwen recovered very well.
“Alright, sleep well. I‘ll bring you some good food when I come back at night.” Gwen did not know what Luna was thinking. She smiled, bade Luna goodbye, and left the room.
After Gwen left, Luna yawned and wanted to sleep, but her phone rang. It was Joshua calling.
“You don‘t have to worry about Gwen. I‘ve sent people to keep an eye on her from afar. Nothing will happen to her, so you can sleep without worrying.”
Luna‘s heart felt warm as she listened to Joshua‘s deep voice. Once their plane arrived, Joshua got called away by Thomas‘ men, saying that they had important matters to discuss. Nevertheless, he did not forget to take time to arrange for people to watch over Luna and Gwen, not to mention calling Lura to make her feel at ease.
“Thank you,” muttered Luna with a nasal voice. “You don‘t have to thank me.” Joshua curled up his lips into a smile when he heard her voice.” Sleep well. Don‘t stay up late anymore.”
Luna responded and hung up the phone. Only then did she close her eyes and sleep.
In fact, she started to think about their trip last night when she and Bonnie‘s conversation somehow sidetracked to Luke. They started to reminisce about all the things Luke did for Gwen over the years, and slowly, they started to understand Luke and felt bad for Gwen. Without them realizing it, they lost track of time entirely. Amid their conversation, Luna vaguely remembered Bonnie said Kate, who had been following Luke everywhere he went, was also from Saigen City. After Luke‘s death, Kate returned home.
After Gwen left the hotel, she started to stroll the street for the entire afternoon. She experienced a different culture and felt extremely relaxed and cheerful. However, she had underestimated Saigen City‘s weather. The boots she wore could not withstand the cold weather. Within a couple of hours, her feet started to ache because of the cold weather, and thus began her quest to look for a footwear shop to buy a new pair of shoes is a mall. “Ms. Miller, these shoes match your clothes very much! If you don‘t believe me, why don‘t
you ask for your fiance‘s opinion? It‘s very good!”
In the shoe shop, Gwen lowered her head to change the shoes and overheard the sales attendant introducing a pair of shoes affectionately. She was not bothered by it and continued to look at the shoes she was trying.
That was until she heard a familiar male voice.
“Yes, I think they look very nice, too.”
That voice. At that very instant, Gwen felt as though she was petrified, struck by lightning.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2622 by desirenovel
That was Luke‘s voice!
At that moment, Gwen felt like the blood in her body froze as she felt herself trembling. This was the voice that appeared in her dream every night, and she even thought she was hallucinating when she heard it again.
The man behind her started to talk again, “But it‘s fine if you don‘t like it. We can shop at other places.”
Gwen felt like her blood started to rush up her brain. Tears started to roll in her eyes. She bit her lip and got on her feet.
There was a couple leaving behind her. The man had his arms around the woman as they left the shop.
That figure...did not look like Luke
Nevertheless, she rushed out the door and, not caring about how she would look, blocked the couple from leaving like she was crazy, arms spread wide open. “Who are you?” The woman furrowed her brow as she looked at Gwen with a puzzled look The man gently pulled the woman into his arms and looked at Gwen warily. “Is there anything I can help you with?”
That voice. It was not the same as Luke. Gwen was stunned. ‘How could that be? Was I...hallucinating after all?‘ she thought.
“What a crazy woman.’ The woman shot Gwen a disdainful look when Gwen did not even say anything after blocking their path. She pulled the man‘s arm and left the place.
Gwen merely stood transfixed like she was struck by lightning and did not move an inch.
How could that be? She could have sworn she heard Luke‘s voice, she knew it!
After a while, she covered her face as tears started to fall. She missed him dearly, so much so that she started to hallucinate his voice in public. She even rushed to stop strangers from leaving to make sure that man was not Luke.
Gwen would have never done that in the past. After she was dumped by Ben and what she went through, she became timid and weak to the extent that she did not dare to laugh and talk loudly on the street like Bonnie.
In spite of that, she cried out loud in this foreign place because she thought she heard Luke‘s voice. She covered her face and cried. She found herself slumping to the floor, squatting as she wept with a hand on her chest –silently, voicelessly. She tried her best. She thought she would feel better after she convinced herself Luke was with her in her body and that he was always together with her. She thought that if she pretended to be happy and strong, those feelings would eventually manifest and solidified. She kept on lying to herself and stubbornly pretended to be fine with everything. However, all those fragile pretenses shattered into pieces like broken glass right at that
moment. She had never forgotten Luke. The longer he was away from her, the clearer his image was in her brain.
She could not forget him. She could not do it!
Why? Why was she sick? Why could only Luke‘s heart save her? Why did Luke never discuss this with her and chose to make sacrifices for her? She would rather she was dead in Luke‘s arms and not living like a zombie.
‘You‘re an asshole, Luke!‘ Gwen screamed in her heart. “Miss?” The sales attendant of the shoe shop came to her side and patted her back lightly when she saw Gwen crying while squatting on the floor. She passed a piece of tissue to Gwen.” Did something bad happen to you?” Gwen‘s head remained lowered as she silently wept. Thus, she did not see Kate holding hands with a man as she left the shoe shop when the sales attendant was comforting her.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2623 by desirenovel
“I don‘t like that pair of shoes a lot.” Kate leaned her head against the man‘s arms while looking very happy. “But, if you think it looks good, it must be very pretty!”
The man smiled and pinched Kate‘s nose passionately. As he lowered his head, he saw the sales attendant patting the back of a woman squatting on the floor. He could not see her face, but her thin body had him furrowed his brow tightly.
Kate glanced over in the direction the man was looking at Gwen, too, but she did not recognize Gwen. She pursed her lip and stretched her hand out to cover the man‘s eyes. “Don‘t look at
another woman!”
The man smiled and looked up to the front. “Alright, you little green–eyed monster.” His deep, alluring voice blended in with the hustles and bustles of the street.
Kate leaned in his arms happily. “Well, you shouldn‘t look so handsome, then! I‘m going to tell your father that we should have the wedding as soon as possible, in case you‘re lured away and seduced by other women.”
The man smiled helplessly. “Well, you‘ll have to wait until I make full recovery, right?”
“Of course.” Both of them chatted happily and disappeared into the end of the mall‘s walkway.
Gwen lost track of how long she had been squatting and crying. Once she was sure no more tears were coming, she looked up sheepishly and thanked the sales attendant with gratitude,” Thank you.”
After that, she stood up to leave, but the sales attendant stopped her. “Miss, the shoes...” Only then did Gwen notice she was still wearing the pair of shoes from the shops. Well, that explained why the sales attendant came out to comfort her.
She smiled awkwardly and went back to the shop with the sales attendant. In the end, she bought the shoes that she was wearing and also another pair that she picked, feeling bad about her outburst.
“You have such good taste.” The sales attendant smiled. “Ms. Miller and Mr. Hughes were here just now. Mr. Hughes picked these shoes for Ms. Miller too, but I think these shoes match you better.”
Gwen smiled and paid for the shoes. It was already 8 p.m. when she left the mall. Gwen walked down the street in the snowing weather with the new pair of boots she just bought. Her heart felt empty as she gazed at the couples walking in the street.
“Did you cry?”
When Gwen returned to the hotel, Luna noticed Gwen‘s red eyes.
“I didn‘t,” Gwen answered, sniffling. She passed a bag to Luna. “I underestimated the temperature, and the shoes I brought with me weren‘t warm enough. I walked on the street
for a long time and I was so cold that my tears fell before I finally found a shoe shop in the mall.” Luna furrowed her brow and took a look. Gwen did change to a thicker and warmer pair of shoes. She pursed her lips and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water for Gwen.” Was it so cold that you had to cry?” said Luna helplessly. “And when did you start to roam
around?”
After that, she passed the warm water to Gwen. “Did you see anything interesting walking for the whole afternoon?”
“I met someone with the identical voice as Luke. Does that count as interesting?” Gwen held the glass. She drank and added, “Of course, he‘s not handsome. Luke is far more handsome than that man.”
Luna pursed her lip and did not know how to continue with that topic. The room became silent.
Gwen probably felt how awkward Luna was. She sniffled and took the remote control to turn on the television. The channel was showing the news of Saigen City. “Our reporter had seen the eldest young miss of the Miller family, Kate Miller, going shopping with the eldest young master of the Hughes family, Steven Hughes! Here‘s the picture our reporter had taken.
“From the look of it, we could be hearing good news from them soon...”
Along with the voice of the reporter, a photo appeared on the television. It was a photo of a woman and man hugging together. Due to the angle problem of the photo, they could only see the woman‘s face while the man‘s face was hidden in the dark. Gwen furrowed her brow as she saw the photo on the television. “Luna, look. Is that Kate?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2624 by desirenovel
Luna furrowed her brow and looked at the television. It was Kate. The woman‘s face was very clear from the photo on the television while the man‘s face looked blurred.
Who else could that woman be other than Kate? In addition, the reporter had mentioned ‘the eldest young miss of the Miller family‘ over and over again, so this had to be Kate. Gwen was sure of this.
Luna pursed her lips and looked at Gwen. “In the first place, you even wanted her...”
Luna did not finish her sentence because she realized she should not mention Kate and Luke in front of Gwen.
“Let her take my place and date Luke, keeping him company?” Gwen raised her head and looked at Luna. “I got dumped by Luke, that‘s all. I‘ll live. You don‘t have to be so careful.” After that, she smiled brightly. “I‘m not that fragile.” She said it like it was not a big deal. The person who cried while squatting on the floor in the mall was not her.
Luna finally felt relieved to see Gwen was not bothered by it. She turned around and sat beside Gwen while holding Gwen‘s shoulder and sighed. “I‘m just afraid you can‘t let it go. Mentioning Luke and people related to Luke will only make you feel sadder. But since you really... really don‘t care anymore, it‘s a good thing.”
After that, she looked at Kate on the television and narrowed her eyes slightly. “Joshua told me that apart from meeting Thomas and completing a deal with him, there is something he needs to settle with Kate.”
They had not forgotten how Kate hired Malcolm and nearly killed Bonnie. When Kate was hurting Bonnie, it was the same time when Gwen‘s condition dropped dangerously, prompting Luke to bring forward the surgery. Joshua and Jim, at that time, had all their attention on Luke and did not have the time to care about Kate. With everything settled, it was time to make Kate pay for what she did.
Gwen barely reacted to Luna‘s words, however. “I kept on defending her and didn‘t think she was the person all of you said because of Luke.”
At that time, Gwen had planned to leave Luke but was worried he would fall into despair if she did. Thus, she aimed at Kate and thought she had feelings for Luke. As long as Kate was beside Luke, she would take care of Luke, even if Luke did not like Kate.
Nonetheless...
It was after she had her surgery and Luke‘s death that she discovered everything was a lie.
Kate kept saying she liked Luke. Over the past year, she had followed behind Luke every day and did not complain about anything. However, after Luke died, she left Merchant City immediately. Because of that, Gwen did not trust her previous judgment anymore.
Maybe what Luna and the others said was the truth; maybe she fell for Kate‘s lies after all.
“It‘s best if you can think this way.” Luna sighed.
She wanted more to say when all of a sudden, her phone rang. It was from Joshua, inviting her on a video call with Nigel, Neil, and Nellie. She thus quickly answered the call and excused herself to Gwen as she went back to her room. Gwen sat on the sofa in the living room as she looked at Luna leaving. She sighed deeply. When Luna went back into her room, Gwen recalled the events that happened and looked at the television once more.
It was still the photo of Kate and the man on the television. This time, however, it was a new photo from another angle.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2625 by desirenovel
wthough the man‘s face was still blurred, Kate‘s beauty shone in the new photo. Happiness was written all over her face, too.
Gwen furrowed her brow. From the angle of the photo, she felt a slight familiarity.
From this angle, she could clearly see the man who was hugging Kate had the same height and body as Luke. Even without knowing how the man looked, Gwen could tell the man‘s body, movement and temperament...were similar to Luke‘s.
She stared at the television for quite a while before switching it off. This explained why Kate was not upset when Luke passed away; she found a replacement and no longer wallowed in sadness about losing Luke.
‘What about me?‘ Gwen sighed and took out her phone. She logged into her Tweeter account which she had neglected for a long time. She posted a selfie photo of herself walking in the snow today with a caption.
[It has been almost two months. When can I finally let it go?]
After posting it, she stretched her body and went back into the room to rest.
Elsewhere, in a luxury mansion in Saigen City...
The man had just finished talking with Kate when notification appeared on his phone. It was a suggested post from Tweeter.
After being in a coma for far too long, he had little knowledge of what was happening in the outside world. Thus, Kate helped him to download a lot of apps on his phone for him to read the news, and Tweeter was one of them.
In the past, he would never click open the suggested post. Nonetheless, he decided to open it today.
It was a woman taking her selfie while standing in the snow. Her caption was quite emotional, and it was something he would not even glance at in the past.
However, he thought the woman looked familiar, Very familiar, in fact. He stared at the woman‘s thin face that sported a smile. Frowning, he fell into deep thoughts but failed to remember when he knew a woman like her.
The familiar feelings had him click into the woman‘s profile as he started to flip through her page. It seemed like she was experiencing something bad and wanted to cheer herself up through Tweeter. By the looks of it, that did not seem to work.
This reminded him of himself.
He...also had a thing that he wanted to do but could not do. Everyone kept telling him Kate was his fiancee and the love of his life. When he was unconscious and bedridden, Kate had worked very hard to wake him up, and it was because of her that he could finally wake up.
He could not explain it, but he just...could not grow fond of Kate. Maybe he had been unconscious for far too long that he lost the ability to like someone.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2626 by desirenovel
It was a night without nightmares. In the early morning of the second day, someone knocked on the door of Luna and Gwen‘s room. At that moment, Luna was busy cooking breakfast in the kitchen while Gwen was planning their itinerary for today.
Hearing the knocks, Gwen guessed it was Joshua. Thus, she looked back at the busy woman in the kitchen. “Hey, you should go open the door.”
Luna stopped cutting the vegetables and looked at Gwen, who was sitting on the sofa curiously. “And why should I open the door?” she asked while she made her way regardless.
“Because that person must be looking for you,” said Gwen without looking up. “How long have you been with Joshua? Why are the both of you still so lovey–dovey?”
Luna pursed her lips and opened the door. “How did you know it‘s Joshua?” Just as she finished talking, a man asked in a deep and sexy voice from the door, “Why can’t it be me? What are you two talking about?”
Luna paused and looked at the man in front of her. He was wearing an ash gray–colored windbreaker with snow on his shoulder. Although he was tall, he looked quite gentle with a slightly solemn expression on his face. He was holding the breakfast he prepared for Luna and Gwen.
Luna pouted and did not know what to say.
“See. I‘m correct, aren‘t I?” Gwen continued to plan their trip with her head lowered. “I told you it‘s for you.”
As she talked, the speed of her writing gradually slowed down. If Luke was still alive, he would have done the same as Joshua–bringing her breakfast even if it was a blizzard.
Luke had treated her very well during his lifetime, and it was her who did not know to appreciate him. Heck, she even wanted to distance herself from him because of some gossip and rumors. She even wanted to leave him forever...
Now that Luke had permanently left, she could only feign obliviousness. She did not even have the courage to go to his grave and cried for him. “You‘re cooking?” Joshua saw Luna was wearing an apron and sounded helpless while he was at the door. “I guess I was still too late.”
Luna paused and smiled as she took over the breakfast from him. “No, you‘re not. I just made some oats. We can have it together.”
“Okay.” Luna put the breakfast on the dining table and wanted to close the door, but Joshua stopped her.
He looked to the side and said, “Are you not going to go in?”
Luna furrowed her brow and looked at the door unconsciously. “There‘s someone else!”
“Yes, but she‘s too embarrassed to see you.” After that, he placed his hand on Luna‘s shoulder. “If you‘re not coming in, Luna is going to close the door.”
Luna furrowed her brow and attempted to look out the door. “Is it...Yannie?” Just as she finished talking, a thin woman slowly appeared from the walkway. “Luna...” Luna was surprised to see how thin Yannie was. “Yannie, you...” If she remembered correctly, it had just been a week that she had not seen Yannie. How could Yannie suddenly become so thin? Not only that, but she also looked very haggard! ‘Didn‘t Thomas say he‘d look after Yannie and not bully her? What did he do to Yannie to make her look like this now?‘ Luna thought..
“I‘m fine.” Yannie sighed as though able to read Luna‘s mind, squeezing a smile as she returned her gaze. “I‘m just not used to this place yet. You know I‘ve been growing up in Merchant City since I was small. Other than the first time I came here last year, this was the second time I traveled out of Merchant City. I haven‘t got used to the cold weather and culture yet...”
Luna pursed her lips and looked at Yannie with doubt. “Is that so?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2627 by desirenovel
“Yes.” Yannie took a deep breath and walked into the room, standing in front of Luna. “I‘m really happy to see you here. Mr. Lynch said you‘re going out sightseeing today. Can I come along?”
“Of course.” Gwen, who had finally finished planning the itinerary, looked at Yannie. “It‘s quite boring if there‘s only the two of us. We‘d like you to join if you have the time.”
Yannie looked at Gwen with a grateful expression. “Thank you.”
While she and Gwen were not close, she knew a little or two about Gwen. As she looked at the woman who had just lost the love of her life looking so cheerful and full of life, suddenly, she did not think her situation was that bad anymore.
The four of them had breakfast together, and Joshua left afterward. He still needed to meet with Thomas to create a plan to defeat the Howard family, after all, Meanwhile, Luna and Gwen started to go sightseeing in Saigen City with Yannie,
That morning, they went to The Ice Sculpture World, while that afternoon, they went to a ski resort. The worst part of this schedule was that Gwen had only thought of the recommended place she found online when she was planning the itinerary and forgot neither of them knew how to ski.
After they bought the ticket and entered the ski resort, three of them went to change their clothes and stood in the resort while looking at each other. Yannie felt helpless and jealous as she saw other people skiing talentedly. She did not know how to ski.
Nonetheless, she remembered that one of Thomas‘ hobbies was skiing, and it...would be nice if she could ski. With that thought in her mind, she made up her mind and looked for an instructor, who slowly guided her to ski.
Luna and Gwen exchanged looks when they saw Yannie learning. After that, they also joined Yannie to learn how to ski.
Though the three of them kept falling, they rooted for each other and did not feel bored at all. “This must be the tenth time you‘ve fallen,” came the sarcastic voice of a woman when Yannie fell once more.
Yannie furrowed her brow and struggled to get up from the ground before she looked in the direction of the sound.
The woman, dressed in her own ski suit, took off her helmet, revealing a sexy and mature looking face underneath the helmet. “Why? Do you think you could make Thomas happy by learning how to ski?” Yannie bit her lip and grabbed the ski poles tightly with her both hands. She recognized this woman. It was the second wealthiest family in Saigen City. This was the eldest young miss of the Hughes family, Denise Hughes. “I told you before that the Howard family would never want a woman like you. No matter how hard you try or how much Thomas loves you, you‘ll never be allowed to step foot into the Howard family. It‘s very important for Thomas to marry someone from the same class of family, after all,” sneered Denise while flicking her long hair.
She looked at Yannie from a condescending angle. “My family nearly went down because my brother, Steven, was unconscious, so the Howard family was not in a rush to discuss having me marry Thomas. But now that my brother is awake, my family‘s future has lightened up again, and the Howards must definitely be interested again!
“A few days ago, Thomas‘ father had already contacted my father. Sooner or later, Thomas will marry me.”
Denise sneered patronizingly at Yannie. “You should leave Saigen City with that illegitimate child of yours. Otherwise, you have no idea how you‘ll end up in a body bag.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2628 by desirenovel
Biting her lip, Yannie picked up her skiing poles and left. It was not the first time she saw how degrading Denise could be. When Thomas was not at home that one time, Mrs. Howard had invited her to the house and Denise went over.
During that time, no one dared to object or displease her. Even Mrs. Howard acted humbly in front of her. Yannie, knowing nothing at the time, followed along and treated Denise with respect, seeing how everyone else did the same. At the same time, she also remembered Denise was not a kind person nor someone she could cross. Now that they finally met in the ski resort, she did not want to cause any trouble, especially when Gwen and Luna were around.
“Leaving now?” Denise sneered as she saw Yannie turn. She crossed her arms at her chest while looking at Yannie with contempt. “If you‘re so scared of me, then why did you have the nerve to seduce my man?”
Just as she finished talking, a woman beside her rushed forward and grabbed Yannie‘s collar.” Where do you think you are going? Denise is still talking to you. How dare you leave?!”
Yannie struggled her way out when the plump woman grabbed her collar, albeit failing. In the end, she could only keep on trying and say, “Ms. Hughes, I don‘t want to have any conflict with you!”
“But I want to.” Denise scoffed and walked toward Yannie. The smile on her face became colder. “I heard you came from a poor family in your hometown. Your mom works as a nanny, right? If you didn‘t seduce Thomas, I bet you‘d be the same as your mother–working as a maid for the rich.”
Yannie‘s heart throbbed painfully. She gritted her teeth and looked up at Denise. “Ms. Hughes, my mother has nothing to do with us!”
“How is she not related?” Denise smiled creepily. “Didn‘t you bring your mother here, too? When one enters a different lifestyle, the family enjoys the benefits, too. Aren‘t your mom here to enjoy her life with you? Why can‘t I comment on her? Besides...”
Denise sneered and gradually walked toward Yannie. “If your mother could raise a daughter like you, I don‘t think she‘s any better than you!”
Yannie‘s face turned pale as she bit her lip in sheer frustration. Her eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction as her voice turned hoarse. “I told you before! You can say anything you want about me, but not my mother!”
“Oh, so you‘re mad now?” Denise sneered and stood in front of Yannie. Her eyes looked sharp. “You skank!”
With that, she raised her hand and swung it toward Yannie‘s face.
“What do you think you are doing?”
Before her hand could reach Yannie, a hand intercepted her wrist. Denise furrowed her brow and looked up at the culprit.
It was a woman with fair skin, a thin body, and a small face. She had her hair down while wearing a fluffy hat with rabbit ears.
Despite her frail–looking state, she looked endearing. Nonetheless, this sickly woman grabbed Denise‘s wrist so tightly that Denise could not move at all. Denise furrowed her brow and glared at Gwen angrily. “Who are you?” “I‘m Yannie‘s friend.” Gwen smirked and flung Denise‘s hand away. Denise failed to keep her balance and nearly fell to the ground. Luckily, her myrmidon was there to hold her. “You!” She tried hard to keep herself balanced to avoid falling. Then, she glared at Gwen and Yannie angrily. “How dare you? Do you know who I am? I‘m the eldest young miss of the Hughes family! My brother is Steven Hughes, the medical miracle! The most promising and handsome bachelor in Saigen City!”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2629 by desirenovel
“It‘s not too late for you to apologize to me now!” barked Denise. “Me, apologize to you? In your dreams!” Gwen squinted and took out a knife elegantly from her pocket
It was a very sharp army knife that could cut open many things that an ordinary knife could not. In addition, the knife was custom–made. There was only one in the whole world, and it was Luke‘s.
When Luke tried to teach her how to protect and defend herself, he gave the knife to her. Gwen used to think that she would give it back to Luke if she left Luke, but...it seemed that it was hers forever.
Denise‘s myrmidon widened her eyes and lowered her voice, saying, “She has a knife!”
Denise rolled her eyes. “So what? It‘s not the custom–made knife like my brother. What‘s so special about it?”
After that, she glanced at Gwen. When she saw the knife Gwen was holding, she was dumbfounded. ‘That knife... Why is it almost identical to Steven‘s? Even the dragon pattern looks the same on the handle!‘ she thought.
She furrowed her brow. “Where did you get this knife?” “It‘s not your business to know. You just need to know this knife could end your life.” Gwen sneered and walked toward the plump woman who was still holding Yannie‘s collar with the knife.
That woman looked massive and tall, but she was nothing more than a coward. She already felt stressed when she grabbed Yannie‘s collar and stopped Yannie from leaving, but seeing Gwen approaching her with the knife... She shouted and quickly let go of Yannie as she dashed to hide behind Denise. Yannie finally had her freedom back. She quickly ran behind Gwen and lowered her voice.” Thank you.”
Gwen scoffed and toyed with her knife, all while staring at Denise. “I‘m warning you: Don‘t bully my friend, or I‘ll kill you!”
She thought Denise‘s face turned pale because Denise was scared of her with the Knife. Thus, she threatened Denise even more.
Denise pursed her lips and wanted to say something when she saw a woman in a red skiing suit take off her helmet from behind Gwen and Yannie walking toward her. “What happened?”
“Miss Hughes, that‘s Joshua Lynch‘s wife,” the myrmidon reminded Denise gently. “He‘s a powerful man. Even in other cities, anyone who sees him has to pay their respects to him. He arrived here yesterday and that woman is his wife... We can‘t afford to offend her.”
Denise bit her lip angrily. Those who bullied the weak because of their strong background knew when was the best to leave the fight. She knew she could not afford to engage in a night with Joshua‘s wife at this moment.
She sneered and stared at Yannie and Gwen coldly. “Guess Lady Luck is on your side today!”
With that, she left with her entourage.
After just two steps, however, she remembered something and looked back at the knife in Gwen‘s hand. “Your knife is a fake. My brother had the same one, and his knife is the authentic one. If you want to act tough, don’t try to fool others with a fake knife.” Gwen raised her brow. “What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother‘s knife is the fake one, not mine.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2630 by desirenovel
“I‘m one–hundred–percent sure your knife is a fake one.” Denise narrowed her eyes as she looked at Gwen. Then, she looked at Luna, who was approaching them from behind, and smiled sarcastically. “I’m only reminding you now because you are Mrs. Lynch‘s friend. If your can be friends with someone like her, don‘t bring a fake knife around to embarrass yourself.”
Finally, she did not forget to look at Yannie. “I‘m going to let you go today, but remember this: don‘t ever show up at my face anymore!”
After that, she left with her entourage.
Yannie stood still as she watched Denise leave, balling her fists tightly as she did.
Gwen rolled her eyes coldly and put away the army knife. She placed her hand on Yannie‘s
shoulder. “How did you come across and provoke this type of people?” Yannie pursed her lip. “L...” “What happened?” Luna stood beside Gwen and Yannie as she did not know what just happened. “Who were those people? Why did you take out your knife?” “Nothing.” Gwen sneered and glanced in the direction Denise left. “Some ignorant people.” How dare she say Luke‘s knife was a fake?
Luke‘s knife was given to him by Luke‘s adoptive parents, and it was the only one in this world. Even if there was a fabricated version of this knife, the fabricated one should be the one that the woman‘s brother had.
Yannie saw Gwen deliberately helping her to hide the fact that she just got bullied. She curled up her lips into a smile and looked at Luna while diverting the topic. “Luna, how‘s your progress?”
Luna paused and could not help and smiled. “I almost got the hang of it!”
Then, she put on her helmet. “I came here to show you girls!”
As she finished talking, she skied several meters away. Yannie was shocked to see it happening before her eyes.
After a while, she smiled embarrassingly with self–abasement. “Luna is always so amazing.”
All of them started at the same starting line. Neither of them had the basics of skiing and the time they spent learning was about the same, yet Luna had gotten the hang of it. She, on the other hand, could not even balance herself yet.
What a clumsy person she was. Maybe this was the difference between her and people like Luna and Thomas. They were all talented people, a far cry from commoners like her. There was nothing special about her birth and talent. Everything about her was classed as normal.
Denise was right. She...was never from the same world as them.
“You‘re quite amazing too.” Gwen read Yannie‘s mind when she saw Yannie‘s pupils losing light and linked it to what happened.
Gwen sighed and extended her hand out to pat Yannie‘s shoulder. “Don‘t belittle yourself. If there‘s nothing special about you, Luna won‘t be worried about you and came here with Joshua to see you. Thomas won‘t also put all those efforts to bring you here. Don‘t mind what that woman said.”
Yannie bit her lip and looked at Gwen. After that, she nodded vehemently.
The three of them spent time skiing in the ski resort until it was evening. When they left the ski resort at night, Luna said she was very hungry. Yannie took the liberty and brought Luna and Gwen to a specialty restaurant in Saigen City. In fact, she was not familiar with Saigen City at all. Thomas had brought her to that restaurant once. When they entered the restaurant, Yannie requested to be seated in a private room. They started to place their order when they entered the room. After skiing for the whole afternoon, Luna and Yannie were famished. As they entered the private room, they leaned on the chair tiringly. Luna called Joshua while Yannie texted Thomas.
