“Steven!”
Mrs. Hughes was thrilled when she saw the caller ID on her phone screen. She picked up the call
excitedly. “Have you thought it through? I told you. As long as you change your mind, you’ll forever be
my precious son! You’re our only son when we chose you over Luke twenty years ago!”
She was so excited that she forgot where she was and she did not care if she embarrassed herself in
front of Mr. Hoffman. “Denise is just an orphan we adopted. Her life is worth nothing to us. It’s not worth
falling out with us because of her. It just isn’t worth it!
“Where are you now? Do you need us to send someone to pick you up? As long as you are willing to
come back, me, you and your father will still be a loving and happy family, okay?”
Steven furrowed his brow as he quietly listened to what his mother had to say. After a while, his mother
finally finished what she wanted to say.
He took a deep breath and said, “Mother.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
His voice sounded heavy. “Gwen and I would like to sit and eat with you and father.”
Mrs. Hughes grabbed her phone tightly. After a while, she raised her brow as she blurted, almost
screeching, “Who do you say you want me and your father to eat with?!”
On the other side of the phone, Steven took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Gwen and I.
“Gwen, my girlfriend. I wish you and Father will share a meal with us so I can introduce her as my
girlfriend to both of you. I’ll be together with Gwen in the future.”
The color of Mrs. Hughes’ face turned from white to red, and then from red to white again. After a long
while, she gritted her teeth while gripping her phone tightly. “Steven, are you crazy?”
It was not like he did not know who Gwen was. The only reason Gwen was here in Saigen City was to
get close to Steven because of Luke, and Steven, of all the other people, should know it more than the
onlookers like them.
Why would he want to be with this unpredictable woman? This woman might kill Steven in his sleep for
Luke. Was he not afraid of that?
“I’m not crazy.” Steven took a deep breath and solemnly added, “I like Gwen, and she likes me too. We
both have feelings for each other. This has nothing to do with Luke.”
While he was talking, he turned to the side to look at the woman sitting beside him in the car. Gwen
was reading a text message Luna sent over.
The afternoon sun shone on her face from the window. It strongly emphasized her jawline, and she
looked incredibly pretty.
Steven was bedazzled by her beauty.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mrs. Hughes’ angry voice pulled Steven back to reality. Her
hysterical voice was transmitted through the phone into Steven’s ear. “That woman gets close to you
because of Luke. All she thinks about is how to kill you so her Luke will come back! Aren’t you afraid
that one day you might not wake up in the morning being together with her? Steven, you’re crazy. Your
father and I will never agree to let you be with her!”
