Seeing how the man next to her made no response, Gwen closed her eyes as tears fell.
“I understand my feelings now. My thoughts of wanting to leave you previously were too childish. All
this while, I thought that as long as I leave you, you could have a better life. I planned to leave so that
you could be with that woman, but it was until you left me that I realized how important you are to
me…”
Then, she seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She looked up at him with teary eyes. “A–
Are you trying to teach me a lesson for trying to leave you, Luke?”
Wiping away her tears, Gwen sobbed, “I know that I‘ve done wrong. I really do know it, Luke. Can you
stop pretending to not know me? ….”
Gwen closed her eyes, and tears fell silently. “I can‘t lose you. I‘m not willing to lose you again. I know I
did wrong, so I‘ll use the rest of my life to repay you, alright? Even if you scold me or hit me or treat me
badly, I won‘t mind. As long as you come back to me and stop saying such strange things to me!
Please…”
Gwen‘s voice turned from sobbing to hoarse, gradually getting softer. Her tone was getting lower and
humbler, too.
Steven did not know who this woman was, but he was somewhat affected by her emotions. Massaging
his glabella in annoyance, he looked up at the driver. “Drive. Head home.”
The driver stilled for a moment, not starting the car. “Sir…your marriage discussion with the Millers is
still undergoing,” he explained hesitantly. “It isn‘t appropriate for you to take a woman home so early in
the morning, right?”
Steven raised his hand and held Gwen‘s head which kept wanting to fall on him. He furrowed his brow
tightly. “What else can we do? Are we going to throw her out on the streets at four in the morning and
let her freeze to death?” Then, he harrumphed coldly. “If I didn‘t call for your attention back there, you
would‘ve crashed into her! Looking at her clothes, she clearly isn‘t from an ordinary family. Could you
bear the responsibility?”
The driver was instantly at a loss for words. He should not have read the message Kate sent him while
driving, which was why he almost knocked into this woman.
However, he thought about Kate‘s message to him a moment ago.
(Help me keep an eye on Steven. If any strange woman approaches him, report to me immediately.)
“Why don‘t…” The driver furrowed his brow. “Why don‘t we send this woman back to the Millers and let
Ms. Miller care for her?”
Steven hesitated for a while. “That‘s good too.”
Kate was his fiancee. Helping him to care for a stranger he picked up on the street was completely
logical.
Moreover, if he were to take his woman back to his family, it would indeed bring more unnecessary
trouble. His mother and sister would surely ask a lot of questions, so taking this
woman to Kate was a great idea. She would not be jealous, and he could express his loyalty to her too.
At that thought, he smiled. “Let‘s go, then. To the Millers.” “Right away!” The driver excitedly started the
car. Thoughts flew across his mind quickly. During this trip, he would be able to gain quite a huge
bonus from Ms. Miller! The car sped forth quickly. “Luke…” In the backseat, Gwen was so exhausted
from crying that she passed out on Steven‘s shoulder.
Steven lowered his gaze and looked at her tear–stricken side profile. He furrowed his brow tightly.
