Ch. 3001..3010
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3001 -Kurt was even more baffled at that moment. His boss was not dead, but he even gave himself a new name!
He went from Luke Jones to Stefan Joneson?
"Let's go. I'll take you to the doctor." Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, walked over, and helped Kurt stand up. "What happened to your arm?"
Kurt paused for a while before saying honestly, "I broke it in an accident on delivery a few days ago.’
As Stefan helped him up, he sighed and added, ’Max Church sent those men to check on me to see if I've been in contact with Gwen, but when they saw my broken arm, they started extorting me for money and bullying me.’
Kurt smiled bitterly at Stefan. "Have I embarrassed you?"
Things were different when he was with Luke as it was him doing the beating; never was there a moment when Kurt was beaten. However, at that moment...
Kurt felt terrible letting his former boss see him beaten up so badly.
"It's not embarrassing at all." Stefan was silent for a long time before sighing deeply. "It's my fault. All I was concerned about back then was Gwen, and I never considered what your lives would be like after I died. You did nothing wrong."
Kurt shook his head fervently. 'Boss, I respect you, not only because you can fight well and you're the core of the gang but also because of your devotion to Gwen. A man who could give up his life for the woman he loves must be a man with passion.
"People like us who've been out and about fighting only care about profit— it's what makes our world go round. The only thing that could make your brothers fight for you is passion, so how could passion be a bad thing?"
Stefan sighed. "Stop it, you."
Kurt was the same man he knew. He always praised him regardless of whether or not he did the right thing. Kurt never skimped on his praises.
Soon, they arrived at the clinic. Stefan got some antiseptic medication and a dressing from the doctors. He cleaned and dressed Kurt's injuries while recounting the things that happened to him after he died in detail.
"Two brothers sharing the same body?" Kurt looked at Stefan with widened eyes, unable to process the things Stefan had just told him.
"Yes." Stefan smiled. "Perhaps when you wake up tomorrow, it might be my brother in front of you."
Kurt paused for a while before saying, "Then, are there any signs when you and your brother are switching gears? Or is there any regular timing that this happens?"
Stefan remained silent for a while before shaking his head. "I'm not sure."
From the past few days, it seemed like Steven Hughes had appeared lesser, while he found himself being in control longer.
Previously, at the art show, after he called Joshua and fell asleep, he should have become Steven. He never thought that he would still be the pilot of this body.
He had fallen asleep when he accompanied Gwen back to Sea City on the flight, but when he woke up, he was still around.
Thinking about it, he realized that he had been around for almost two days, which never happened before. He could clearly sense that Steven's character was resisting to appear, trying to destroy himself, but he could not do anything for his brother. This made Luke feel lost and in despair.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was from Gwen.
Stefan's eyebrows furrowed, and he picked the call up.
"D-Did something happen to you?" Gwen sounded cautious. "You've been out for almost two hours.
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3002-"I'm fine. I helped out an injured person on the way back.’ Stefan smiled." Don't worry; not many people can hurt me in a place like Sea City."
At that, Gwen was instantly silent. After a while, she said gently, "Okay. Come back quickly."
She did not wait for Stefan's response as she hung up.
Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, a little surprised that she hung up on him so quickly. Gwen was usually very polite to strangers and people she was not close to. Only with people who she was very close to would she show her true character, doing things like hanging up on them before they could finish a sentence.
"Boss...’ At that moment, Kurt said feebly, "Don't you think you've kind of exposed your identity a little by what you said just now? Gwen thinks you're a foreigner, being your first time here in Sea City, yet you said that no one could hurt you here."
He cast a careful glance at Stefan, saying, "Do you think she'll realize who you are?"
Stefan furrowed his brows. He realized that ever since he met someone familiar from the past, his attitude has resumed its previous arrogance.
"I don't think so..." He hesitated for a while before sighing in his heart. Why had he not learned modesty and stayed low-profile after sharing the same body with Steven?
"Boss, are you going to look for Gwen? Do you want me to give you a ride?’ Kurt stood up.
Stefan looked at his broken arm and smiled. "Do you think you could give me a ride in this state?"
Kurt blushed. "Sorry, this came out of habit. I'll...make a move. Go and look for Gwen. We'll contact each other in the future."
He was about to turn and leave when Stefan stopped him. "Are you in a hurry?"
Kurt shook his head. He was supposed to be a delivery man, but after he broke his arm, he lost his job. Where was he in a hurry to go to?
"If you're not in a hurry, come back with me." Stefan then added, his eyebrows furrowed, 'I can take you back with me and explain myself.’
If he and Gwen were to live in Sea City, they would inevitably meet Kurt. Rather than pretending they were not close in front of Gwen in the future, he would prefer that Gwen met Kurt.
By getting to know a person by helping him out, Gwen would probably not get suspicious of the way they met.
Kurt was silent for a while before nodding. "Alright, I'll come with you."
Then, they packed up, paid at the counter, and headed back to Gwen's villa.
In the villa, Gwen had cleaned up most of the place. Since no one had lived here for over a year, it was just lightly dusted, so cleaning was easy.
When Stefan and Kurt opened the door, Gwen was on a ladder, about to wipe the lights.
The sudden opening of the door gave her a fright, and she lost her balance and fell over.
Fortunately, Stefan reacted quickly and rushed over, immediately catching her in his arms.
This was the second time Gwen was in Stefan's arms. His familiar warmth and scent put her in a daze.
She looked at him rather deliriously. ’Luke...’
When he heard her call out Luke's name, he tensed a little, but he collected himself a second later and placed her down. "Who is Luke?"
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3003 -Gwen's entire body stiffened when she saw Stefan's reaction. She furrowed her eyebrows and immediately realized what she had done. "Luke is...
someone that I used to know.’
"That's the name of my old boss,” Kurt said as he stepped into the house." He passed away some time ago."
Since he had promised Stefan that he would go along with his act and pretend to be acquaintances, that was what he had to do.
He strode over to Gwen and reached out to shake her hand. ’Long time no see, Ms. Larson."
Gwen widened her eyes in shock when she saw who it was. A split second later, her gaze changed to one of incredulity. "Are you...Kurt?"
"Yes, that's me.’ Kurt chuckled. ’I thought you had forgotten me."
"Why would I?" Gwen shook her head, and her gaze fell on Kurt's broken arm. "I just never thought that..."
Kurt was one of the bravest and most ruthless of all of Luke's men. Out of all of them, he had been selected to become Luke's personal bodyguard and had assumed this role for many years. Thus, it was safe to say that Kurt was one of the most outstanding fighters in Sea City.
Why did he end up like this?
This was why Gwen had hesitated when she first laid eyes on him. She could not believe that the formidable man she once knew would end up vulnerable and homeless.
"I got into a car accident while delivering food," Kurt explained, giving her a meek smile. "Before Boss passed away, he instructed and made arrangements for me to leave this place, but I chose not to because the woman I love lives here. I eventually returned to Sea City and intended to help the rest of the gang build our foundation up again, but it turns out everything had changed since Boss' passing.
"The ones that were loyal to him had all become fugitives and were forced to go into hiding.’
Kurt sighed, then glanced meaningfully at Stefan before continuing, "I had no choice but to get out on my own and do everything I can to survive.
Since I don't have any special skills, the only job I can hold down is delivering food. I wanted to save up some money to eventually start a business and hopefully be able to marry the love of my life in the future, but a few months after doing that, I got into a terrible accident...
"Stefan found me just now when I was getting beaten up. Not only did he chase all the bullies away, but he even brought me to a clinic to get me treated, which was why it took him so long to return."
With that, he curled his lips into a bitter smile and turned to gaze at Gwen." Isn't this embarrassing? I don't even have the guts to go see the woman I love in this state. Even now, she has no idea I returned.’
"It's not." Gwen was touched by Kurt's story. "You... You chose to start your life afresh amid all the hardships, and I'm certain that Luke would've been happy to hear this."
She glanced at Stefan. "Have you gotten the food?"
Stefan nodded and placed the takeout bag on the table.
"Come, sit." Gwen gestured at the seats before her, indicating for Stefan and Kurt to sit down.
After the three of them took their seats, Gwen opened the takeout bag, revealing two portions of food. She got some clean tableware from the kitchen and prepared the food. ’We're all going through a hard time here, so let's share this.’
With that, she glanced at Kurt and asked, "Where are you living now?"
"I rented a little place to stay in the shanty part of town, off to the east..."
"You should move here and stay with us," Gwen interrupted him. ’This villa is more than enough for the three of us, and it's much more comfortable and safer than where you live now."
Kurt froze. He first glanced at Gwen, then at Stefan. "Um... Is this really a good idea?"
He would be interrupting their alone time if he were to move in with Gwen and Stefan.
"Why wouldn't it be?" Gwen smiled when she heard this. "Stefan and I are just friends, so don't overthink this. I share this place with Stefan, so what's to say I can't share it with you too? Besides, the more the merrier.’
With Kurt around, it would save her some of the awkwardness of being constantly alone with Stefan. Besides, she was certain that Kurt would be of use to her in trying to break her father out.
Kurt pursed his lips and replied, "Well..." "You should move in here." Stefan glanced at him. 'That way, we can all look after each other."
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3004-Seeing that Gwen and Stefan had offered, Kurt did not think it was polite to refuse anymore, so he nodded and agreed, "Alright, then."
However, he had one request. 'Can I stay in the room underneath the stairs?"
Gwen froze, then turned to glance at the room he was talking about. 'Why... Why do you want to stay there?"
That room had been converted from a storage space to a bedroom meant for the servants. Back when she and Ben got married, Ben had insisted on renovating the room novelxo underneath the stairs to become the servant's bedroom to assert his dominance as master of the household.
At that time, Gwen had disagreed. The servants could have just slept in the guest bedroom, and she did not think it was necessary to force them into a cramped bedroom just to save face. However, Ben insisted and went ahead with his plan anyway.
She and Ben had been close for a period of time after their marriage, so she tolerated his little quirks.
However, despite having prepared the room, novelxo Gwen never once arranged for any of the servants to sleep there, and eventually, the room became a storage space.
She never once imagined that someone would specifically want to live there.
"I like small rooms. It makes me feel safe and cozy." Kurt was not an idiot. He knew that the bedroom was too small and cramped for him, but he did not feel comfortable taking up too much space in Gwen and Stefan's house.
This was the perfect bedroom to novel.xo remain out of sight and out of mind.
"Sure," Stefan replied before Gwen could even say anything. "I'll help you clean the room up after dinner, and you can move in immediately."
He was more than familiar with Kurt and knew that if he did not comply with Kurt's request, novëxo Kurt would likely feel uneasy for the rest of his stay.
Therefore, he would much rather go along with Kurt's request, no matter how outrageous, to ease his concerns.
"Thank you." Kurt grinned at Stefan, then began to eat.
Gwen could not help frowning as she watched this exchange. If she remembered correctly, Kurt and Stefan had only met that afternoon after Stefan saved him.
Why did they appear to be so comfortable with each other within just a few hours of meeting?
Not only that...but novëxo the way they talked to each other reminded her greatly of how Luke used to interact with Kurt.
At the thought of this, she could not help sneaking another glance at Stefan.
She never once made any associations between Stefan and Luke,novel.xo but ever since they returned to Sea City, she could not help feeling that Stefan was growing more to resemble Luke.
Could it be because her return to Sea City had stirred up many of their shared memories?
After finishing their dinner, Stefan and Kurt jumped straight into their task of cleaning out the room underneath the stairs.
After an entire afternoon of chores, Gwen was too exhausted to help and instead returned to the master room to get some rest.
She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, novelxo and she could not help recalling the way Stefan talked.
The more she thought about it, the more resemblances she could find between him and Luke.
Finally, she flipped over, grabbed her phone, and sent Sean, who was still in Saigen City, a text. [Have you heard anything from Steven lately?]
Steven had lost touch with everyone ever since he left Saigen City, but Gwen could not help thinking that he would never have done something so cruel. As much as he wanted to get away, she was certain that he would still find a way to get in touch with his sister, Denise.
Sean had been taking care of Denise all this while, novelxo and if Steven tried to get in touch with her, he would surely know.
[Nope.] Sean's reply came. [We haven't heard anything since he left. Why do you ask? Did you find him?]
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3005 -[L.didn'1] Gwen sighed when she saw Sean's text. [Nothing. Just asking.] [Don't you worry.] novel.xo Sean sent a reassuring sticker alongside his reply. [I know how much Luke and Steven meant to you, so you'll be the first to know if I hear anything. Don't be too sad, okay? Since Steven has chosen to start his new life afresh, I'm sure he must've landed on his feet, and we should be happy for him.]
[You should move forward and stop getting caught up in the past. Remember, you have your own life to live.]
[You're right.] Gwen sighed. [I shouldn't be caught up in the past anymore, and it's about time I live my own life. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. How's Denise doing?]
[Not too well, but the doctor says she's improving, and I'm sure she'll be up and at it in no time.]
After a brief chat with Sean, Gwen decided to flip through all the contacts of her old friends and family in Sea City, including the employees that had worked for Larson Group under her and her father, Andy.
She could not let many people know about her return to Sea City, and if she wanted to rescue Andy, she had to start with the people she trusted.
After all, she knew nothing about Andy's kidnapping,novelxo apart from the fact that he had been abducted by some of Luke's old subordinates. She needed to find out more information about this, especially the identity of the person who was keeping him hostage.
That night, she got in touch with a lot of old friends, but no one knew anything about Andy's kidnapping.
They all claimed that after Luke's death and Gwen becoming the most wanted woman in the city, they had all cut ties with Andy to prevent getting in trouble.
Trying to find Andy's whereabouts was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
By the time she finished contacting the last person on the lift, novelxo it was already two in the morning.
She stretched herself, then got up and went downstairs to get a glass of water.
However, to her surprise...
When she got downstairs, she caught sight of a shirtless, muscular man in the living room, exercising while wearing nothing but a pair of army-green shorts.
Beads of sweat clung onto his taut skin and slid down his well-defined muscles, making it almost impossible for her to turn away.
The lights were dimmed, and she could not see his face. novelxo The only thing she could see clearly were the beads of sweat sliding down his skin and dripping onto the floor.
When he sensed her gaze, Stefan lifted his head to glance at Gwen, then quickly turned around to avoid her. "You haven't gone to sleep yet?"
Gwen suddenly found herself tongue-tied. ’No...no.''
He...was oddly fair.
This was probably the fairest man she had ever laid eyes on, and he was even paler than Luke.
Before meeting Luke, Gwen used to think that an attractive man constituted tan skin and toned muscles, but after falling in love with Luke, she realized that whether or not someone was fair or tan did not change their charm.
"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?" he asked as he put on his face mask, then pulled on a shirt. "Are you trying to track down your father?'*
Gwen nodded, then went into the kitchen to pour two glasses of water, one for herself and another for him. "I can't find anything. I don't even know who it was that kidnapped him."
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3006-‘Til think of something." Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, downed the entire glass of water Gwen had poured for him, and set the empty glass down on the table. "Since none of the people you contacted know anything...maybe Kurt and I can give it a try."
Gwen's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying that you and Kurt are going to try joining the gang?"
"Yes." Stefan nodded. "Kurt used to be a part of it, so I'm sure it won't be hard for him to rejoin. As for me, you've seen me in combat; I'm sure I'll hold up well against them. But..."
He paused, then glanced at Gwen. "I need your help on something."
Gwen was puzzled by this. "What is it?"
"I need some help from the husband of your friend, that Joshua Lynch fellow," Stefan said with a frown, trying to pretend that he and Joshua did not know each other. "Winson has met me before, and since he’s part of the gang here in Sea City, he might be able to recognize me and, in doing so, will know that you've returned. This will bring a lot of trouble for you, and besides..."
He paused. "Although he might not be able to recognize me if I don't wear my mask, my face is so disfigured that I'm afraid people will judge me and even refuse to let me join their gang because of this. Therefore, I need Joshua's help to find someone to make me a new mask for disguise."
Gwen was silent for a moment. "You need my help contacting him?"
"Yes." Stefan nodded. "You're much closer to him than I am. He hired me to protect you, so I'm just an employee of his and am in no position to make such a huge request."
"Alright. I'll help you." Gwen let out a sigh and stared intently at the man before her. "By the way, about Kurt... Do you need me to help convince him?
" 1
Although Stefan had saved Kurt's life, they had only known each other for less than a day, and it was likely that Kurt would refuse to help Stefan out, especially considering he had just gotten himself out of that gang not too long ago.
"Alright, please help in any way you can." Stefan smiled at her. "Thank you. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Gwen was a little sheepish at being thanked like this. "You shouldn't thank me..."
She was agreeing to help him to save her father, and if anything, she should have been the one thanking him.
"Of course I should. Helping you is a part of my duties as a bodyguard, but you helping me is out of sheer kindness and purity."
Gwen's entire face flushed red when she heard this. She bit her lip and turned away, trying to hide her scarlet cheeks from Stefan's observant eyes. "It's getting late now, and I have to go to bed now. You should rest early too. I'll contact Joshua tomorrow and talk to Kurt, too. Goodnight."
With that, she sprinted up the stairs without turning back.
"Goodnight." Stefan smiled as he stared at her retreating figure.
Gwen scampered back to her room, shut the door behind her, and slumped against it, exhausted beyond measure.
She gently cupped her burning cheeks and could not help scolding herself for acting so childishly. 1
How could she possibly be bashful just because a man whose face she had never even seen before complimented her?
How could she have developed these feelings toward her own bodyguard?
What was she doing? She could not do this to herself, and most of all, to Luke!
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3007 -The next morning, Gwen woke up at the crack of dawn. She called Luna on the phone while she was washing up, and told Luna about her request.
"No problem!" Luna was smiling as she said this. "You say that that bodyguard of yours needs a mask, huh? Well, what kind is he looking for? One that's made to imitate human skin? I don't think that's a good idea. It'll come off easily if someone were to punch him, and I think a better option will be something made of metal, like those masks you wear to a costume party. We can easily make it look more lifelike!
"That way, even if he wears the mask, you'll still be able to see the angles of his jaw and his other features...” Luna explained as she busied herself in the kitchen. ’I think you'll be captivated by him sooner or later."
Gwen almost choked on her mouthwash when she heard this. She let out a few coughs, then finally got herself together. ’Why are you becoming more mischievous as time passes? I'm getting him a mask so that he can go undercover in Luke's old gang, not because I want him to wear a mask. Besides, so what if I can see his other features and the angle of his jaw through the mask? I... My heart belongs to Luke, and I won't fall for anyone else even if Luke is dead! You shouldn't be joking about this!"
Luna stifled her laughter when she heard Gwen's stern tone and replied solemnly, "Well, I have to reiterate to you that Luke isn't dead. He's just sharing a body with his brother Steven, so you shouldn't conclude that he died. As long as his body and subconscious are still around, he’s as alive as any of us."
Gwen paused when she heard this. A split second later, she let out a bitter chuckle. ’What difference does that make?"
Although the body belonged to Luke, his mind no longer belonged solely to him. He had to share his mind with his brother, Steven, so was this truly the same as being alive?
Besides, even if Luke's subconscious remained, he could not return to her side to protect and take care of her as he did in the past, so what difference did it make?
Luna paused when she sensed Gwen's misery and did not kid around anymore. "Gwennie, I just think...you shouldn't assume Luke is dead. So long as his body remains, he's still roaming this earth, isn't he?"
Gwen let out another chuckle. "Of course I know I shouldn't assume that. All I'm saying is that I won't fall for anyone else, especially not Stefan, not in a million years, and not even if Luke died.’
Luna raised her brows when she heard this. "Stefan?"
"Yes. That's his name.’ Gwen put down her toothbrush and wiped her mouth. "His name is Stefan Joneson. S-T-E-F-A-N. Stefan."
"That's a nice name," Luna commented.
'Good for you, Luke. Stefan Joneson. What a brilliant play on words,' she thought to herself.
It was clear Luke had gotten inspiration by combining both his and Steven's names. 'Stefan' sounded a whole lot like 'Steven', and 'Joneson' was a derivative of his last name 'Jones’.
Luna had been suspecting before this that the bodyguard looking after Gwen was, in fact, Luke, but after learning his name, she was 100% certain.
Stefan Joneson was Luke Jones in disguise!
"Don't worry, Gwennie.” Luna smiled. "I'll talk to Joshua and ask him to arrange for the best prop master in the world to customize a mask for Lu-I mean, Stefan. It'll be the best mask anyone has ever seen!"
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3008 -Gwen massaged her glabella helplessly while continuing to talk to Luna on the phone. "Sure thing. Be it the best prop master in the world or just any prop master. Just get him here as soon as possible."
For some reason, Gwen had a feeling Luna was being more paranoid after serving her sentence in jail. Maybe she was using this method to cover her pain from losing Anne.
All of a sudden, Luke came into Gwen's mind. Back in the past, she often felt sorrow when she thought of Luke. Sometimes, she even lost her mind.
At present, however, she could face reality calmly.
Of course, she did not know how long it was going to take for Luna to reach this phase.
Once she finished talking, she went out to buy breakfast.
When she returned, she knocked on Stefan's room and passed the breakfast to him. Subsequently, she went to Kurt's room and asked him to join her for breakfast.
Kurt came out and looked at Stefan's room curiously. "You're not going to invite Stefan?"
Gwen smiled and pointed at the breakfast on the table. "I already gave him his breakfast. He's going to have it in his room."
In the meantime, she sat down and placed Kurt's breakfast in front of him." During his previous mission, he accidentally hurt his face. Now, he refuses to show his real face to the others and always has his mask on when he's not alone. Just let him eat in his room in comfort. Don't give him any pressure."
Kurt was dumbstruck. His eyes looked surprised as he looked at Gwen and then at Stefan's room. "Did he tell you that?"
Oh, boy. Luke was always a proud man. He never backed down on any fights. Was it necessary to become a disfigured self-abased man just because he wanted to protect his beloved woman without letting her figure out it was him?
"Of course not." Gwen gave Kurt a weird look and lowered her voice. "Do you remember Joshua Lynch? Luke's rich friend."
Kurt paused and nodded. "Yes. He helped the boss out a lot in the past."
"Joshua Lynch was the one who told me." Gwen pursed her lips and glanced at Stefan's room. "No one will easily admit that they’re selfabased. Joshua was his previous employer, so he was aware of Stefan's condition. He was also the one who sent Stefan over here to protect me."
After a purse, Kurt was really astonished by what Gwen said. "He's so... strong."
So strong to come out with a lie like this.
Continuing, he added, "And so are you, too.”
It was just so unbelievable that Gwen would buy such a silly lie.
In fact...
All Gwen needed to do was to gather her courage to take off Stefan's face to know the truth.
However, Gwen was never that type of person. She was never a person who wished to force someone to do something they were unwilling to do.
At least, that was what Kurt observed when Gwen was with Luke in the past. Even when those gang members bad mouth her in front of her by saying she was not worthy of Luke, all Gwen did was smile and not reply.
That was why Kurt was unlike the others. He did not have the intention to look for Gwen after Luke passed away. Most of the time, he was with Luke. Thus, he could tell what kind of person Gwen was when Luke was still around.
At this point, he looked at Gwen. 'Do you... wish Luke could come back to life?"
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3009-"Do you want the truth?' Gwen asked faintly with a frown and looked at Kurt.
After a pause, Kurt nodded. "Of course."
Gwen said seriously, "I don't want him back. Although you might find it unbelievable, I really don't want him to come back to me."
If Luke reappeared, that meant Steven had to leave. The last time Luke came back, he specifically stated as Steven's brother, he hoped Steven could continue to live a happy life in his body. Therefore, she believed that was always Luke's wish.
It was definitely not Luke's wish if he came back one day. It was more like Steven did not want to exist anymore.
Thus...
Gwen would rather maintain this current situation where Luke and Steven coexisted in the same body and lived in a place where no one knew them.
Maybe they would find a girl who could accept them and live happily together...
She chose to give them her blessing and provided them the space they deserved. This was the last gift she could give to them.
The answer left Kurt stunned and speechless. Stefan, who was about to leave the room, was stunned too.
Kurt saw the movement of the door. Unconsciously, he looked at Gwen." Then...can you tell me why?"
"No reason." Gwen curled up her lips and did not wish to explain further. 'I just don't want him to come back.”
The reason was too complicated and non-realistic. If she did not experience it once, she would never believe there would be such an incident.
However, Gwen did not know Kurt actually knew about it and had accepted it.
Therefore, she did not think Kurt would believe what she said. To make her answer more convincing, she added, "I'm sure you know Luke's heart is beating in my body now. If Luke comes back, does that mean I need to return this heart to him? So I don't wish him to come back. I'm living quite well now, and I don't want anyone to come to disturb my peace now."
' But you're not living peacefully now." Stefan's deep and cold voice came from behind. "Do you think your life is peaceful after what your father and Luke's gang are doing to you now?"
It startled Gwen. She turned around and looked at Stefan. "It's different. I'm talking about the peace that I have with my mind and not my actual life."
Stefan raised the corner of his mouth. "Do you really think you have peace in your heart now?"
All of a sudden, Gwen remembered the things Luna said to her when they were talking moments ago.
'Even though he had his mask on all the time, you could still see his jawline. Aren't you fascinated by that?'
Thus, her subconscious had her spotting Stefan's jawline. When she was looking at him, Stefan was looking at her too.
Their eyes met.
The ambiance of the room became queer and awkward.
"Umm..." All of a sudden, Kurt coughed. "I've finished eating. I'm going out for a walk. Have fun chatting."
Immediately after that, he cleaned his plate and ran out of the house as if he was running for his life.
Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3010-After Kurt left the place, Stefan and Gwen were the only ones left in the dining area.
Gwen coughed and tried to clear her messy mind. She looked up, "I'm very sure my heart has its peace now. Why?"
"That's good if it's true.’ Stefan did not know what kind of thought had just run through Gwen's mind. He gave her a smile. "Then we can proceed with the next steps now."
He continued, "Have you told Kurt?"
Gwen rolled her eyes. "Not yet. I was going to but then you came out."
"Sorry to disturb you two then."
Stefan raised his brow and took out his phone to call Kurt.
Soon enough, Kurt answered the phone.
"Come back now." Stefan gave out a plain and simple order before hanging up the phone.
Within five minutes, Kurt showed up at the front door. "What is it?'
Gwen had her eyes widened. It shocked her tremendously that she had trouble talking
Kurt and Stefan... She remembered they only knew each other for less than a day.
'When did Stefan ask Kurt for his number? And why did Kurt do as he was told so easily through an order via a phone call? Even if Stefan saved Kurt's life, both of them shouldn’t get along with each other so quickly,’ she thought.
Kurt was a good person, but he required a long time before he could get along with a stranger. When he was with Luke, it took him a long time to get to know the other gang members before he could entrust his heart to them.
How did Kurt become so easygoing after Luke left?
"She has something to say to you," Luke said faintly with a frown when Gwen was still in shock, "Don't wander around. Sit down here. You can eat while she talks to you."
"Okay." Kurt nodded like he always did. He then walked back into the dining area and sat across from Gwen. "Miss Larson, is there something you like to say to me?"
Gwen was still in shock and had trouble saying what she wanted to say. Stefan was the second person Kurt listened to after Luke.

All of a sudden, she was curious about the face concealed under that mask.
