Steven‘s entire body stiffened upon hearing this.
He knew that Joshua was talking about Luke. A split second later, he curled his lips into a bitter smile.
“You‘re confused, Mr. Lynch. I‘m Steven, not Luke.”
“I know.” Joshua narrowed his eyes, fixating his stare on Steven‘s face. “But I still know that you‘ll help
me.” Steven was silent for a moment, then finally sniffed and chuckled. “You‘re right; I‘m willing to help
you, but it has nothing to do with Luke at all. I‘m just...” He glanced first at Gwen and Luke, then at
Joshua. “I just like helping people in need.” Then, he shot Joshua a glance and asked, “What do you
need me to do?” Joshua had seen this coming. He curled his lips into a smile. “Follow me.”
With that, he turned and led Steven into the elevator.
Gwen instinctively followed. However, Luna caught her just in time, and as soon as the elevator doors
closed, she pulled Gwen aside and whispered, “Remember, he isn‘t Luke.”
She was worried that Gwen would be swept away by her emotions and get hurt again.
As her best friend, Luna knew just how much Gwen missed and loved Luke. However, because of this,
she was worried that Gwen would get carried away and end up heartbroken.
“I know.” Gwen bit her lip and instinctively glanced at the elevator. “I know it‘s Steven, but...” She was
silent for a moment before finally saying, “For some reason, there are some parts of him...that belong
to Luke.” She was not talking about Steven‘s appearance. It was evident that Steven and Luke shared
the same face and physical attributes, but when she first met Steven, she never felt that he was
remotely similar to Luke in habit.
Luke was cold and aloof, and his heart only opened to her.
Steven, on the other hand, was cheerful and chivalrous, a man who treated everyone kindly.
In the past, Gwen could only tell their difference from the way Steven talked and carried himself, but for
some reason, everything was different today.
It was as though...Steven had taken up some parts of Luke‘s consciousness.
Even though he was still chivalrous and gentlemanly, the way he looked while fighting was identical to
Luke, even the way he pinched her nose.
Not only that, but the worried look in his eyes when he glanced at Joshua, as well as his willingness to
help Joshua, reminded Gwen so much of Luke. It was as though the lines between Steven and Luke
had become blurred.
“Perhaps you‘re just imagining things because of how much you miss Luke.” Luna sighed and took hold
of Gwen‘s hand. “I agree with you that he looked a lot like Luke when fighting just now, but they‘re twin
brothers, after all. Besides, we had never seen Steven fighting before, so realizing that they look alike
while fighting doesn‘t prove anything, does it?” The hope in Gwen‘s heart dissipated upon hearing this.
A split second later, she curled her lips into a bitter smile and said, “You‘re right. Perhaps I shouldn‘t
overthink this...”
How could Steven possibly turn back into Luke so easily? Luna did not dare to disappoint her any
further. Instead, she clasped Gwen‘s hand and sighed. After a long time, the elevator returned to the
ground floor. Steven stepped out of the elevator and headed straight toward Gwen. “Gwen, Joshua
wants you to come with me while I‘m helping him. Do you wish to join me?”
