Finally, Ben and the woman were done after ten minutes.
Ben put his pants on and frowned, “Soon, this place is going to be mine.”
“Why? Isn’t this place your ex-wife’s?”
“She’s being wanted now. Tyson had kidnapped and locked up her father for many days. After Tyson killed her father, I’m going to pull some strings to make this place mine!”
Gwen was startled when she heard that.
Tyson, Luke’s subordinate.
Was he the one who kidnapped her father?
“Tsk. This place doesn’t belong to you after everything you told me,” the woman snorted to put on her clothes.
In the meantime, her eyes wandered around to check out the place. She said with a disdainful tone, “Hey, did you say the owner is not coming back, right?”
Ben nodded, “Yes. She’s never going to come back if she wants to live. And Tyson kidnapped her father.”
The woman raised her brow when she looked at Ben, “When is Tyson going to kill him?”
“How would I know?”
Ben shrugged his shoulder and looked at the woman with a raised brow. “Why did you want to know?”
“Because…”
The woman curled her lips and got close to Ben’s ear to whisper something.
Ben chuckled, “Gosh, I’m impressed with that idea! It’s not entirely impossible.”
He kissed the woman after saying that. “Why don’t I break up with my girlfriend and you can become my girlfriend?”
The woman gave him a look and ran into his arms while giggling. “Are you breaking up with her because of this place and the Larson’s money or because of me?”
“Can’t I have all of it?”
Ben laughed out loud.
Both of them cuddled with each other for a long time before they finally decided to leave.
Gwen continued to hide in the room until she finally heard the car leaving. She took a deep breath and left the room.
Although she did not know what the woman whispered to Ben, she was sure it was nothing good.
Maybe it was a plan to kill her father by using Tyson…
Gwen exhaled deeply and closed her eyes.
At this point, she finally knew the person who kidnapped her father but there was nothing she could do for him.
Ben was right.
If she wanted to live to see another day, she had to pretend she was never back in Sea City and pretend she was not in this place.
Otherwise…
It did not matter if she lost her life when Tyson captured her. Her father would be in a difficult and dangerous situation once she was dead.
She had never once repay back her father for her upbringing. Yet, she was the reason why Tyson kidnapped him and had him in this dangerous situation… One that could take away his life.
She failed at being a good daughter.
Thinking of those, she sighed heavily.
The only thing she could do now was stayed at home and wait for Kurt and Stefan to bring more information back to her.
It was evening. Gwen had cook dinner and waited for Kurt and Stefan to return. She thought they would be back around six or seven o’clock like they promised.
However, she continued waiting until ten o’clock at night.
When the clock rang at ten o’clock, Gwen was already sleeping at the dinner table.
Kurt and Stefan returned home to a table full of food and saw Gwen sleeping at the dinner table.
“I feel sorry for her,”
Kurt said with sorrow as he looked at Gwen. Comment by Ying Ying Jong: Hi. I changed the content here. In the raw, Kurt would call Gwen his sis-in-law in the dialogue. Since it was not a habit for the westerner I change a little. Can you check if the flow of the story is alright?
According to the raw, Stefan is going to be surprised to hear Kurt calling Gwen his sis-in-law and question Kurt why the sudden change of heart. And Kurt will reply by saying, he finally realized Gwen is worthy to be with Luke/Stefan and he accepted her.
Stefan raised his brow. “Why do you feel that?”
In the past, no matter how close Luke and Gwen were, Kurt had never sympathized with or accepted Gwen because he thought Gwen had divorced once and was harassed by someone.
It shocked Stefan to hear Kurt say that.
Kurt smiled, “Because I finally understood how tough her life is.”
This was the first time Stefan heard his friend giving Gwen a positive comment and finally accepting her. His lips curled into a smile as he said, “You’re going to discover more good things about her soon enough and realize she’s a wonderful woman.”
After that, he walked toward Gwen.
Gwen was sound asleep at the dining table when she heard two voices conversing with one another. She looked up with a frown and said, “Stefan, Kurt, you guys are back.”
“Yes. Don’t mind us,” said Stefan softly as he walked over. He then reached his hand out to carry Gwen.
There was a voice in Gwen’s head warning her to keep her distance from Stefan.
Nevertheless…
Stefan reminded her of Luke a lot, and his gentle tone sounded just like how Luke would talk to her.
Finally, she was so exhausted that she just let Stefan continue to carry her while she dozed off in his arms.
When Stefan placed her on her bed, she could not help but wrap her hands around Stefan’s neck to call out Luke’s name gently, “Luke…”
Stefan’s arms trembled when he heard that.
After a while, he replied softly, “I’m here. What’s wrong?”
“Did everything go well today?”
Gwen’s hands clung to his neck as she mumbled, “Did anyone cause trouble for you and Kurt?”
Stefan smiled. “No.”
He then carefully placed her on the bed and tucked her in.
Silly girl. She called him Luke but asked about Stefan’s day. He knew her so well that he knew she often mixed things up when she was half asleep. If not, he was going to question himself if Gwen had found out that he was Luke all along.
He stood at the door and observed her to make sure she was sound asleep. After a heavy sigh, he left the bedroom and went downstairs.
When he went back to the dining table, Kurt had heated up the dinner Gwen cooked for them.
Kurt saw him and quickly asked him to go over. “Wow, ‘sister-in-law’ is good at cooking.”
Stefan curled his lip in a smile and accepted the cutlery Kurt passed to him. “I’m glad that you’re willing to accept her and call her that, but keep that between us. Don’t call her that when she’s around. I don’t want her to find out who I am.”
This stunned Kurt. Quickly, he nodded. “Don’t worry. You can rest assured I won’t reveal your true identity.”
Only then, Stefan curled his lips into a smile and sat on a chair. “Basically, we can confirm Tyson had captured Andy.”
Kurt nodded. “Yes. That’s the worst case.”
Tyson was one of the gang members who hated Gwen the most and was against Luke’s leadership in the old days. During the time when Luke was the gang leader, he tried to overthrow Luke so he could replace Luke. His incapabilities were the only ones that stopped his plan from succeeding.
With Luke having passed away, nothing stopped him from being the gang leader. Hence, it was the worst case for Andy in this situation.
“We need to hustle.”
Stefan narrowed his eyes. “What’s the status of the investigation? Have you gotten the result of who’s helping Tyson?”
