Chapter 2869

When Gwen was down at the lobby, Steven's car was parked just right in front of the hotel entrance. The sky was snowing a little, yet there was already a thick layer of snow on Steven's car.

Gwen bit her lip when she saw the layer of snow. Even if she did not believe what Joshua said, she had to believe it when she saw Steven's car.

Joshua was right. Steven must have come after she called him...or maybe, he could have been waiting for a long time even before she called him.

The snow could not have piled up that thickly in a short time, especially when it was only snowing a little. The gratitude and guilt she felt for Steven accumulated even more. She took a deep breath and opened the car door to get in. "Have you waited for a long time?"

Steven smiled and looked at her calmly. "I just arrived."

"Just arrived?" Gwen raised an eyebrow. "How could there be snow that's almost three to four centimeters thick on your car if you just arrived?"

The question caught Steven off-guard as he fell silent for a moment before smiling sheepishly. "It was snowing heavily when I got here. It's not as intense now."

As though afraid Gwen would not believe him, he reiterated, "I really just got here."

"I believe you." Gwen curled up her lips in a smile when she saw how panicked he was.

She looked at the front and said, "Let's go."

At first, Steven wanted to explain more, but Gwen's reply stopped him from explaining further. He then quickly swallowed all his words back and started the car engine. "So we're going to the shopping mall?" "Yes." Gwen nodded. "You're going to buy some clothes with me. After that, we'll ask your parents out." "Okay." Steven looked at her seriously and, inhaling deeply, drove toward the shopping mall at the city center. After a moment, they arrived at the shopping mall. Their shopping trip was quick and efficient. Both of them had the body of a model, so it did not take a long time for them to pick out a pair of matching outfits that were suitable for them at any two shops. After buying the outfit, they went to buy the same design of jewelry and watches.

By the time they were done, it was already three in the afternoon. Steven brought Gwen for a simple meal before he found a quiet place to call his parents.

Meanwhile, his parents and Denise were settling a business with Mr. Hoffman, an entrepreneur from Banyan City. Mr. Hoffman had the desire to make Denise his woman before. Nevertheless, he had no opportunity to lay his hands on Denise since Steven's parents had been pampering and loving her in the past.

He knew what Steven's parents were up to when they were the ones who initiated a business deal with him while bringing along Denise and thus requested a price a lot higher than the market price.

He sat beside Denise and stretched out his hand to reach for Denise's hand. With a lustful smile, he said, "I hope our cooperation will be a success. After this deal, not only will I continue this business partnership with you, but I'll also..."

As he talked, he looked at Denise with lustful eyes. "I'll also tell my friends to come and patronize-

"Ah, I mean, to deal business with you. I mean, Ms. Hughes is such a beautiful lady. No one wants to see her feeling lonely."

As he spoke, his hands slowly wandered to Denise.

Denise, still seated on the chair, glared at Mr. Hoffman warningly. She tried to resist it, but she did not have any energy to move her body. Before they came, Steven's parents had forced her to take a drug that restricted her movement. She was like a doll, pliant for them to control her as they saw fit.

When Denise was in despair, Mrs. Hughes' phone rang. Steven was the one calling her.
