Chapter 2715 Kate stared at Steven with a stupefied expression as she fell silent for a good while. Then, she bit her lip, and her voice sounded vague. “Steven, what nonsense are you talking about? I‘ve always loved you. When did I –“.
“Is that so?” interjected Steven, his voice cold. “Kate, before my coma, and even before I had the accident, you and I have never met. We were only bound by the marriage agreement. When I woke up, people told me you are my girlfriend, my fiancee, and that you‘d done many things for me. While I was touched, I was surprised too. After all, I don‘t remember us knowing each other. More importantly, I don‘t remember any promises that we made before.
“The first time we met should be after I had my accident. You keep saying that you love me, but why do you do so? Because you had one look at me after I was in a vegetative state. Were you attracted to my body so much that you‘d do anything to get me?
“Maybe there is such a love in this world, but this is obviously not the case between you and me. Every time when you look at me, I feel that you‘re looking at another person. Your look tells me that it isn‘t me that you are looking at.”
Kate bit her lip vehemently and shook her head. “No, that‘s not it.”
She reached out her hand to grab Steven‘s hand, her voice quivering as she pleaded, “Steven, that‘s not it! I love you. It‘s you that I love! Why would I do all those things if I don‘t love you? If I loved Luke, why would I turn Luke into you? I can just give your heart to Gwen and be together with Luke, can I?”
“No, you can‘t.” Steven looked at her with a pair of calm eyes. “Because Luke doesn‘t like you. You know that no matter what you do for Luke, he‘d never like you. Just to own Luke, you turned him into me.”
“However, I finally understand now after knowing that I‘m actually Luke. You like me because you think of me as a replacement.”
