Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2745

Steven had a troubled look on his face after hearing what Gwen said.

"Don't say that." He paused for a moment before he added, his voice hoarse, "My sister…she's not a bad person. It's all because of the influence Mrs. Howard had over her that she turned into this person."

He sighed. "It's all my fault. Before I was unconscious, my parents once mentioned they hoped Denise could marry Thomas. They even took the initiative to ask Denise to become Mrs. Howard's goddaughter. I stopped them at that time because I thought Denise deserved to live her life. She shouldn't listen to our parents' arrangement and be with a man she hardly knows.

"After my accident, well…

"After I woke up, that woman had already become Denise's godmother, and she insisted on her marrying Thomas."

He turned his head to the side to look out the window. The view outside was white in color as it was covered with snow. "Truthfully speaking, I don't want Denise to bear all this burden.

"My parents kept saying Denise isn't their biological daughter, that they're afraid she'll leave them when she grows up, so they want Denise to marry a good family here and continue to be by their side.

"I know what they truly mean, though. They just want to use Denise in exchange for their own benefits in the city. She won't live any happier marrying into the Howard family. If they want her to be happy, she should just marry an ordinary family instead."

He smiled bitterly and massaged his glabella helplessly. "I talked too much. I shouldn't have told both of you this."

She kept saying that she loved Thomas and even did such an absurd thing in the name of love. However, she probably did not even know what love was. Just because her parents wanted her to do this and wanted her to do their bidding, she brainwashed herself and followed everything they wanted just so they would be pleased.

Thus, as time went on, she tricked herself and did not even know what kind of life she wanted for herself.

"You're asking us not to hurt her?" Gwen snorted and raised her brow. "What about the damage she did to Yannie and Thomas? Steven Hughes, do you think your sister can get away without being punished after what she has done? Hurting her is just a mild punishment.

"As of now, Thomas is still unaware of what happened. Once he knows everything, do you believe that he won't harm everyone in your family?"
