Chapter 2749 Steven quickly realized what he was doing; his words sounded a tad too intimate. He furrowed his brow and looked at Gwen. “I‘m sorry. I didn‘t know why I said that,”
Before he could finish, Gwen ran forward and wrapped her arms around Steven‘s waist tightly. She sprung so quickly that when she hugged him, his body swayed a little. He felt Gwen‘s warmth and softness the moment she threw herself toward him.
She hugged his waist and buried her face into his abdomen as she feebly whimpered, “Luke, have you been pretending to be Steven? You‘re Luke, aren‘t you?” Her warm breath somehow seeped into the clothes and reached Steven‘s skin. The numbing, tingling sensation made Steven feel an emotion entirely foreign to him.
He pursed his lips and felt how excited Gwen was and also her shivering. Suddenly, he did not want to tell her the truth anymore. He was afraid she would feel lost and fall into despair that she would be harsh with herself.
He lowered his head and looked at Gwen‘s head with her black hair and said, “Gwen...”
“Gwen.” Compared to Gwen, Luna was very calm. She furrowed her brow and pulled Gwen away from Steven.”
He‘s not Luke.”
Yes, it was true that what they were seeing was Luke‘s body. Luke and Steven were twins, so it was normal for the twins to behave somewhat similarly. Nigel and Neil often did the same movement too. Luna had twins, so she could easily differentiate the difference between Luke and Steven from their eyes.
She took a deep breath and pulled Gwen to stand behind her. Finally, she looked at Steven. “Mr. Hughes, I hope you don‘t mind. My friend lost control of her emotions. Let‘s go back to the terms.”
After inhaling deeply, she said, “I hope you can agree with us to coordinate with us with the investigation to make your family and the Miller family pay the price. Otherwise, you won‘t be able to take Denise from us.” Her calm tone had Steven withdrawing himself from feeling heartbroken for Gwen. He exhaled lightly before looking at Luna and Gwen helplessly. “Is there... really no other way?”
He knew if Gwen insisted on suing his family and the Miller family, without his help, she still had Luna, Joshua, and Thomas as her supporters.
She could still sue them.
