Pursuing my ex wife isnt easy

Chapter 2864

Chapter 2864

Even if Steven knew Mr. and Mrs. Hughes had done many bad things, they were still his parents. They never did

anything bad to him.

Gwen understood the struggle and helplessness he felt. Thus, she curled up her lips and smiled. ’I understand. You

don't have to feel bad or blame yourself. I believe if you're Luke now, he’d make the same decision as you. Don’t

worry. I'll tell Joshua and Thomas about this. We ll rescue Denise and Sean."

Her sweet voice soothed his hanging heart. He gripped the phone tightly and shut his eyes. "Thank you, Gwen."

"Don't thank me yet. I have a favor to ask."

Steven's breathing halted at this. After a while, he asked quickly, "What can I help you with?"

He thought they would never cross paths again after how things ended in the hotel. It took him a long time to

gather up his courage to make this call, and he never thought Gwen would actually request a favor from him.

He was willing to help. No matter what Gwen asked of him, he would do it.

Gwen was right. Luke and he were selfish. They ignored if their contributions were what she wanted and did it

anyway. Hence, if Gwen was willing to ask for a favor, he would do anything to help her, no matter what it took.

Steven's excitement was evident in his response. A weird feeling appeared in her heart as she heard it through the

phone.

She thought...after how cold she treated him, he would outright reject her. It surprised her that Steven would agree

to help out so quickly, as though he was so afraid she would regret asking it.

Gwen felt like her heart was stuffed with something, making her feel slightly suffocated because of Steven's

reaction.

She took a deep breath and said, "Steven, I'd like to be your fake girlfriend."

She knew it was an absurd request. Nonetheless, she could not bear not doing anything to help out with Luke's

case. If letting down her dignity before Steven would help Joshua and Thomas even just a little bit, she thought it

was worth it.

On the other side of the phone, Steven could not believe what he heard.

He gripped his phone tightly. His mouth was wide open, but there was no sound coming out of him.

After a while, he lowered his hoarse voice and asked, "Why?"

He did not understand why Gwen wanted to be his fake girlfriend when she sternly told him they would be strangers

in the future.

Gwen smiled bitterly and told him about Joshua's plan.

"Steven, I wont lie to you. We're planning to distract your parents so Joshua and Thomas can have more time and

advantage to put your parents in jail. They have to focus on me to prevent turning you back to Luke, and they hate

me so much that they'll pay more attention to me. You can reject it, and I won't blame you. As you said, they're

your parents, and they've never done anything that harms you."

It was a long moment of silence after Gwen explained their plan.

Just when Gwen thought Steven would not agree with the request and was about to give up, Steven suddenly

replied, "Okay."

Gwen's eyes widened in astonishment. "What? You agree?"

"Yes." Steven closed his eyes. "If that's what you want, I can help you."

Helping her this last time...was a way for him to bid goodbye to the short romance that had not even started.

’Perhaps...after we pretend to be a couple, my parents will focus on you and me. Then, they won't pay that much

attention to Denise and Sean too.’
