Chapter 1877
Luna chewed on her lip when she saw Luke approaching Gwen’s hiding spot and chased after him. “Luke! | f you treat Gwen that way, she’ll hate you for the rest of her life!”
Unfortunately, Luke did not stop. “What difference does that make?
“No matter how good I treat her, she never remembers the things I do for her.”
He was already at the restroom door as he spoke.
Seeing that he was about to push the door open and go in, Luna immediately stormed forward and extended her arms out to block his way.
“Can you stick to your word? Do you promise that you won’t do anything to harm Gwen as long as I go in there and convince her to come out?”
Even though, deep down, Luna wanted to believe that Luke would not harm Gwen, this man was still crazy!
If he really wanted to harm Gwen in public, there was nothing else Luna could do except watch.
Therefore, she could not take this risk.
Luke lowered his head to stare at the woman standing before him, who was more than a foot shorter than him.
Her arms were extended to both sides, using her skinny body as a weak yet determined shield to block his way
Her clear eyes were etched with anger, anxiety, and fear,
He could even feel Luna’s body trembling slightly, but despite this, she still risked everything to block his way just to save her friend.
As he stared at Luna, Luke suddenly understood why Joshua was in love with this woman.
He curled his lips into a smirk and replied, “Of course I promise.”
As though he wanted to show his sincerity, Luke put his hands in his pocket and took a small step back. “I hope that the person who comes out later will be a Gwen who’s willing to talk to me.”
He made a gesture toward Luna, signaling Luna to enter.
Luna gnawed on her lip, let out an exhale, then turned and entered the restroom.
“Boss,” one of Luke’s subordinates said in a low voice as Luna disappeared through the door. “The men from Lincoln City have called to ask you why you didn’t show up.
“Judging from how they sound…they’re a little pissed about waiting for you so long.”
Luke shot him a cold glare and replied, “Tell them to wait. If they’re not willing to, then they can fuck off.”
With that, he plopped down in a nearby chair and draped his arm across the back of his chair like a proud king.
His eyes never left the door of the restroom.
The subordinate fell silent for a moment, then could not help reminding him, “But Sir, we’ve been waiting for this business opportunity for a long time now…”
“So what?” Luke raised his brows and curled his lips into a smirk. “They’re nothing compared to Gwen.”
the subordinate had no choice but to sigh and shut up. All of a sudden, Luke’s phone rang.
It was a call from Joshua
Luke picked up the call and asked curtly. “What’s up?”
Joshua’s low voice rang out from the other end of the line, saying, “I asked Caleb just now, and he said you didn’t go to Lincoln City today.”
Luke curled his lips into a sneer. “Yes, I didn’t.”
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly. “Did you stay to capture Gwen?”
“I stayed to make her give up trying to escape.” Luke let out a sigh and rubbed his eyebrows in frustration. “That idiot woman.”
Luke was so used to putting up a brave front before everyone, but the only person he was willing to put down his guard with and tell the truth was his best friend, Joshua.
“Last night, she looked through my laptop while I was asleep and found out i’d be away today, so she tried to escape
“After guessing what she would do, do you honestly think I will sit around and let her run away?
“Even if it’s for her own safety, I won’t allow her to leave my side.”
Joshua let out a sigh and was about to comfort Luke when he was suddenly reminded of himself.
He and Luna had been together for so many years now, and they even had four children together. Even after all that, however, he and Luna still behaved like mortal enemies every time they met.
