Chapter 2990

The man's voice was solemn.

Gwen bit her lip and could not help feeling guilty for her insensitivity again. The somberness in his tone made her realize that she had overstepped her boundaries again.

She bit her lip and turned to look at him.

She had turned around because she thought it would be more earnest to apologize to him face to face, but to her surprise, when he saw her turn, the man extended his hands toward his ears in preparation to remove his mask.

"Wait!" Gwen furrowed her eyebrows and stopped him. 'Don't take off your mask..."

His hands stiffened. He frowned, then asked in a low voice, "Why not?"

He had already prepared for this moment. After all, there was no point continuing to meet each other like this, and he thought he might as well reveal his identity to Gwen once and for all.

He never once thought that Gwen would change her mind at the last minute.

"I..." Gwen quickly turned around and avoided his gaze. ' Joshua told me about your situation.'

The man's eyebrows furrowed. "So..."

"He told me that you suffered a tragic accident during one of your missions and ruined your looks and that you are still self-conscious about it... The truth is, you shouldn't feel obliged to reveal yourself to me if you don't want to. That's too cruel.

"I wouldn't mind if you want to continue hiding yourself. It doesn't concern me at all what you look like. After all, you're just a bodyguard here to protect me... I apologize for stepping out of line just now." The man froze when he heard this. A split second later, he narrowed his eyes as he tried his best to control his emotions. "Alright. Thank you for understanding."

That goddamn Joshua. Out of all the excuses he could come up with, this was the story he decided to go for?

He was mentally prepared to reveal himself to Gwen, but she decided not to do so out of guilt toward him and his so-called 'tragic accident*.

At the thought of this, the man sneered and replied, "Well, please don't make any requests like this anymore.'

Since Gwen had bought into the story, there was no point in trying to change anything anymore.

After all, she had already gotten used to his presence, and perhaps not revealing his identity would be for the best.

"I...I won't.' Gwen nodded earnestly. She had guessed correctly; the man was indeed self-conscious of his looks.

At the thought of this, she sighed and could not help feeling relieved that she had stopped herself just in time. Otherwise...

She could not bear the thought of potentially hurting the man who had done so much to protect her.

All of a sudden, her phone buzzed with a message from Luna. [Gwennie, did anything interesting happen on your trip so far?]

The reason she had sent this message was that Joshua had just told her about Winson.

Luna was not too familiar with Gwen's situation, so she did not dare to bring up Winson directly and instead chose to ask in an indirect manner. However, Gwen was always honest with her, and this time was no exception. [I ran into Winson Tinker. Do you remember him?]

Luna's reply came quickly. [Of course I do! Although I must say, I never once liked him, even back in high school. You'd better stay away from him!]
