Hearing Steven’s deep, low voice from above her head, Gwen's arm around his waist loosened. That voice...was Luke's. However, the way he talked, his tone, and his habits were a far cry from him.
Luke would never speak to her in this way. Instead, he would use her finger to pinch her nose and say dotingly, "Silly, did you miss me? I know you can't leave me."
To others, Luke was an apathetic man. To her, he was always a warm and caring man. The man that Gwen was hugging had a different tone, different way of speaking, and logic from Luke. Luke from the past would never address a woman so politely, even if he was speaking to outsiders.
Gwen took a deep breath and slowly loosened her arms around his waist. She cocked her head to look at the man in front of her.
His brow, eyes, nose, jaw, lips... Even the scar on his forehead and the scratch mark on his neck which was caused by Gwen... They were all identical to Luke's.
She bit her lip and looked at the man in front of her warily. "Luke, what happened to you?"
By then, Luna made her way toward them. The first thing she did was hold Gwen's shoulder and looked at the man in front of her. If she thought this man looked similar to Luke previously ...she was certain this man in front of her was Luke now that she was up close.
Two people could not possibly look this identical. This man was Luke!
Gwen felt like she was struck by thunder, petrified as she stood still, her mind going blank.
'How could that be? I can accept he is not Luke...but why is he saying he is Kate's fiance? They've been together for five years? Bullshit! Kate was chasing after Luke before this, telling him how much she loved him more than a month ago, yet all this while, she's been in love with this man for five years?!'
Gwen did not believe it. She could not believe what the man said.
She knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that the man she was looking at was Luke!
