Chapter 2972
Somewhere not far behind Gwen, a man wearing black attire stood there looking at Gwen with a shocking look, "Gwen, is that you? Do you still remember me? I'm Winson Tinker!"
Gwen frowned while she tried to search in her memory and a smile slowly appeared on her face. "Winson Tinker? Yes, I remember you!
Winson and Gwen went to the same high school in Sea City. Gwen and Luna would sit together in class and Winson would sit in the row behind Luna. During then, they were so young. It was common for them to copy homework from each other, asked each other questions about homework, ate snacks sneakily during class, and helped each other to take cover when the teacher was questioning them.
After they graduated from high school, Gwen started dating Ben at university. That was when she lost contact with Winson. Never had she expected to meet Winson in this rural town in the south.
"Wow, it has been such a long time. You are more and more beautiful!" Winson smiled, "Let's grab a drink together."
Gwen nodded and accepted the invite. One by one, they returned back into the cafe.
“What a coincidence, it is."
The waitress served them their beverages not too long later.
Winson drank and looked at Gwen with a smile. "I saw from the news about Luna's wedding and here, I saw you."
Gwen felt spirited in a good mood having heard about Luna's wedding. She took a sip of her coffee. "Luna and her husband had gone through a lot. I'm really happy for them to finally have their wedding
again. They looked so happy together."
Winson nodded upon hearing that. "I knew when we were in high school that you and Luna would have a happy life in the future!"
After that, he looked at Gwen and carefully noticed her expression.
"I heard...you and Ben had a divorce..."
Gwen paused slightly hearing Winson mentioning Ben's name. After a while, she curled up her lips and smiled, "Yeah. Since ages ago."
After the divorce, she cried her heart out. She had attempted to kill herself numerous times. Yet, Luke was always there to stop her. It surprised Gwen that she did not feel sad when Ben's name came out of her mouth after experiencing the relationship she had with Luke. What an idiot she thought she was when she wanted to end her life because of that jerk now.
"But you two were so good then, I thought..." After a pause, he looked into Gwen's eyes, “Then—do you have someone else now?"
"No." Gwen shook her head. "There was someone a while ago. But… She smiled bitterly, He passed away saving me."
Winson widened his eyes to exclaim how surprised he was. For a very long time, neither of them said anything.
As Winson finished his cup of coffee, he hesitated and made up his mind. He said while taking out his phone, "Hey, I don't have your contact number. Can I have it? I'm....single too."
Gwen was dumbstruck. She was being nostalgic about the time they studied together and found it hard to reject him. Thus, she gave him her contact number. "Let's stay in contact in the future."
After exchanging phone numbers, they started to chat about some of the experiences they had. As time passed, the sky turned dark. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Let me send you home," Winson frowned and suggested softly.
"It's alright." Gwen smiled, "I can go back by myself. Plus I live quite far from here."
That was not a reason for Winson to give up. "That's why I should send you home. It's dangerous for a woman to go home alone. What if you encounter a danger? I can protect you."
Gwen paused. Before she could say anything, she saw a man dressed entirely in black standing on the street opposite the cafe.
She curled up her lips and said, "It's fine. I have someone to protect me."
