Chapter 2338
The warm afternoon sun seeped through the window and into the dining room.
Gwen's tiny, pleading face looked extra endearing in the warm light.
Luke turned around, but when faced with Gwen's hopeful gaze, the words 'in your dreams' got caught in his throat, unable to be enunciated.He froze for a moment and finally asked,"What...do you want to eat?"
Truth be told, from the moment he rose and became the ruler of Sea City, he had sworn never to step foot in a kitchen again.
It was not because he hated cooking, but because...the only reason he had learned cooking in the first place was to appease the men he thought were his friends.
When he first joined the mob, he treated everyone like a friend and constantly cooked for them out of kindness, but what happened after that? When he was bullied for his size, his 'friends' had declared to everyone else that he was nothing but a slave to them.
No matter how furious he was, Luke knew he could never stand a chance against them.
At that time, he was inexperienced and had no one to rely on, so he knew the only chance he had of surviving was to bear this injustice in silence.
The reason he chose to remain in the mob was that, without their support, he would have an even harder time trying to survive on his own.
Therefore, he remained as a lowly cook in charge of taking care of everyone's meals, at the expense of being looked down on and treated like a slave, until one day...
When he finally met that person, he finally understood that even skinny, physically disadvantaged people could succeed as long as they had the courage and guts to survive.
That night, he injured almost half the gangsters with his trusty kitchen knife.
After slaughtering the leader, who picked on him more than anyone else, he became the new, rightful ruler of the mob.
From that day onwards Luke swore he would never step foot ina kitchen or touch another knife again.
This contained all the memories of his rough and tumble past, the memories that he would never want to relive, no matter what.
She then left Luke after hearing the rumors circulating about them and got engaged to her ex-fiance.
Looking back at it all in detail, she did not have many happy memories with Luke at all.
Perhaps this was an inevitable sign of incompatibility.
Jim and Bonnie had only been together for a year, yet they had already created many joyful memories together, even though Jim had forgotten them after being poisoned.
In the past, Bonnie had denied that these were good memories at all because Jim had lost them entirely.
When she first heard this, Gwen had simply smiled but did not offer any input, but in all honesty? She envied Bonnie very much.
Even though Jim had lost all their shared memories, Bonnie still remembered them.
