Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)

Chapter 2867

Joshua had said it before-they hoped Gwen could pretend to be Steven’s girlfriend to distract Steven’s

parents. Therefore, Gwen was not surprised when Joshua said that.

She pursed her lips and looked at Joshua with a pair of serious eyes. “Do I need to do it now?”

She thought there was time for her to prepare mentally.

“We don’t have much time left.” Joshua looked down at his watch to check the time and said, “It’s going

to take roughly half a day for you and Steven to get ready and ask Steven’s parents out to the

restaurant.

“And, since we don’t know the exact location where Denise and Sean are in the residence, we can’t

guarantee Sean has an adequate food supply. Most importantly…”

He gave Gwen a serious look. “If we don’t distract Steven’s parents soon, I’m scared they might be

cornered in desperation and sell Denise to someone else.”

Luna frowned as she heard that. “Are you saying…”

“Yes.” Joshua interrupted her indifferently to express affirmation of her assumption. “You should know

Steven’s parents adopted Denise because of themselves. They wanted to lighten the sin they

conducted and nearly ruin Denise’s life.

“All these years, they only treated Denise like their daughter, taking care of her, pampering her, and

showering her with love because they hoped she would marry into a good family in exchange for more

power and wealth. Since Denise is no longer a virgin, they had also lost hope of having her marry

Thomas. The scariest part for them is Denise actually wants to be with a poor man and leave them for

him…”

He raised his head and looked at Luna. “What do you think they’d do out of desperation?”

Luna bit her lip and took a step back unconsciously.

The answer was simple; they would do everything they could to maximize Denise’s value to them. If

they thought Denise was a high-end luxury product in the past, the current Denise only had the value of

a scrap car that belonged in the scrap yard.

They would never consider Denise’s feelings or thoughts. Their main purpose was to make sure they

could gain benefits and money from selling Denise.

Luna shivered when she thought of that.

“I’ll contact Steven now.”

Obviously, Gwen had the same thought in her mind. She frowned and took out her phone to call

Steven. When the call was connected, she told him her plan.

Steven stayed silent for a while before answering, “Alright, I’ll go pick you up from the hotel now.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Gwen put away her phone and sat across from Joshua and Luna. She helped them to organize the

messy documents on the coffee table and asked Joshua about the subsequent planning with a frown.

Originally, she thought it would take Steven at least one hour to reach the hotel from his house.

Nonetheless, her phone rang 20 minutes later. Steven told her he had reached the hotel and was

waiting for her downstairs.

Gwen was so stunned that she failed to say anything. After a while, she stuttered to answer.

She stood up and tidied up her stuff while furrowing her brow. “Why is he so fast?”

The distance from the Hughes family’s residence to the hotel was not short.

Joshua glanced at her and said, “Because he knows sooner or later you’ll need him, so he’s been

waiting for you downstairs. The reason why he only asked you to go down after twenty minutes was Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

because he was afraid you might feel awkward and thought you’d troubled him.”
