Luna was startled by Gwen's invitation.She had just driven Kate away with her sarcasm, and all of a
sudden, Gwen wanted her to go shopping with Kate! Was Gwen really a person with a big heart, or did
she not care about Luke at all? Luna knew that Gwen hated Luke and always tried to escape him, but
Luna would not believe it if someone told her that she had no fondness for Luke whatsoever.
When Luna delivered her baby, Gwen came all the way from Sea City to look after her.
There were many nights when Luna would listen to Gwen crying and calling Luke's name.
Although Gwen said she no longer yearned for Luke's love, her eyes would still sparkle every time she
mentioned Luke.
A person's eyes and emotions would not lie, which was why Luna was left baffled.
If Gwen liked Luke, how could she accept having Kate linger around Luke? Inhaling deeply, Luna
walked to the side with her phone at hand and lowered her voice, replying, "Gwen, what are you
thinking? You know Kate has feelings for Luke..."
"Of course I know, Lulu," answered Gwen, cutting her off, "but I don't care."
Luna inhaled deeply.
"Do you think I don't know if you really care or not?"
It was just a simple question, but it made Gwen silent.She stood in front of the window and watched
Luke reprimanding his subordinate in the garden.
A bitter smile appeared on her face.
"I know I can't hide my feelings from you, but...you know it, too.”
"No matter how much I like Luke, I need to leave.He's a powerful man, and he shouldn't be with a dirty
woman like me.He didn't have to be the butt of the joke.He might not care about this, but that doesn't
mean I don't.Kate's family, her appearance, and her ability match with Luke, doesn't she?"
On the other side of the phone, Luna gripped her phone tightly.
"Gwen, you have to stop thinking that way.Actually..."
Gwen closed her eyes, and her breaths became noticeably heavier.
"How should I think, then? Luna, take my place and tell me how you'll choose if you are me.
Would you let Joshua give up his career, or let him suffer all the gossip rumors? Or should I be like
Luke; checking in every day if his subordinates gossip about me and kick them out? "We can't control
what people say; it's their freedom of speech.
They're not lying, either...
"What would you do if you were me?" Luna said nothing.
She was not Gwen, so she could not possibly think from her perspective.
However...
If she was Gwen, perhaps she would make the same choice as Gwen.She would choose to leave.
If she would sooner or later become a burden for the other half, it would be best to cut ties and let both
parties be free once more.
After a moment of silence, Luna sighed.
"Then...when are you planning to leave?"
When Gwen opened her eyes, Luke was nowhere to be seen in the garden.
"I need to have an opportunity —at least after Bonnie wakes up.I'll look for an opening afterward."
She sniffled and wiped away a drop of tear from the corner of her eye.
"Enough with this.I'll wait for you at the shopping mall in the city center with Kate."
This time, Luna did not say anything further other than just a simple answer, "Okay."
With that, Luna hung up and returned to the living room after she put away her phone.
"Gwen asked me to go shopping with her."
