Chapter 2332
Luna could not help feeling a little pained by this.She reached out to grab Gwen's hands in reassurance and rasped, "Gwennie, that's all in the past now."
Luna did not dare to even imagine the pain and suffering Gwen had gone through.It was a miracle that Gwen could have survived those dark days, and there was no denying that Luke truly cared for her.
Luna let out an exhale and said, "Gwennie, why don't..."
She lifted her head to meet Gwen's tearful gaze.
"Why don't you consider staying by Luke's side? I agree with you about one thing.It won't be easy for you to meet another man like him anymore; a man who loves you for who you are, who loves you not because of your looks or money, but because you're you."
Gwen let out a bitter chuckle, her lips etched with disdain and helplessness.She lifted her head to stare at Luna.
"That's impossible.Do you know why I even left Luke in the first place and got engaged to my ex-fiance? It was because..."
She let out a sigh and stared off into the distance once more.
"That's because I don't think I'm good enough for him, and that's a fact.
"Do you even know how Luke's enemies talk about him behind his back? They call him a scavenger, a man who collects other people's unwanted scraps and garbage."
Luna could feel the blood in her entire body run cold.
"They call him plenty more nasty things besides that, Luna, but I'll spare you the horror."
Tears started to slide down Gwen's cheeks as she continued staring into the distance.
"Every time Luke found out about this, he and his men would beat up the perpetrator, and oftentimes, whoever said this would end up with a broken arm or leg...
Gwen replied as she gripped Luna's hand in hers.
"I love Luke, but I don't want him to have a weakness.I don't want him to be taunted and teased because of me, and most of all, I don't want him to lose his dignity in front of all his subordinates.
"Therefore, I chose to leave him and got engaged to my ex-fiance, but of course, you know the rest of the story..."
Gwen let out a sigh.
"Luke is too possessive, and he killed my ex- fiance because of this, then imprisoned me so I wouldn't leave his side ever again."
Her gaze was hollow and empty as she stared into the distance.
"My life here in Merchant City is a lot more carefree because no one here knows about my past, but eventually, we'll have to return to Sea City, and when that happens, the rumors will haunt me once more.I don't want to face them, and neither should Luke."
