Chapter 2874

Gwen raised her eyebrows. "That's right."

She turned to glance at Steven, who still had his arms wrapped tightly around her. "My dear, you, too, know that you're just a replacement for Luke, don't you?"

Steven lowered his head to meet her sparkling gaze, then gulped. "Of course I do."

With that, he lifted his head to stare at his parents. "I know I'm just a replacement, and I know that Gwen doesn't truly love me at all-she just wants me for my body, but..."

His grip around her tightened as though he wanted to inhale every single particle of her body into his. "I'm willing to do that.

"On second thought, I have both of you to thank for this, Father, and Mother. If it weren't for you, I would never have regained my consciousness, and would never have discovered that I had a twin brother. "Most importantly, I would never have met this beautiful girl."

He chuckled as he added, "The reason I brought Gwen here to meet you is to let you see what a miracle you guys created. If it weren't for you, I would never have met Gwen, and I wouldn't have the blessing to become her replacement lover."

The color drained from Mrs. Hughes' face.

When she first initiated the deal with the Miller family a year ago, she never thought things would end up this way. All she wanted was for her beloved son to wake up from his coma, and she was willing to pay any price for that!

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that after Steven's awakening, they would inadvertently cross Thomas and Joshua, and even wound up with that annoying Gwen!

Not only did they lose their precious pawn, Denise, overnight, but even led to their son being put under another woman's spell...

At the thought of this, Mrs. Hughes narrowed her eyes and shot Gwen a murderous look. "You bitch!"

Gwen chuckled at this. "Thank you."

Mrs. Hughes widened her eyes in shock.

She had thought her insult would ruffle Gwen's feathers, but to her surprise, Gwen had thanked her instead.

What was going on?

"Calling another woman a bitch is the highest form of praise you can give," Gwen explained, smiling, as she could sense the confusion in Mrs. Hughes' eyes. "You calling me a bitch is indirectly complimenting my charm and seductiveness as a woman."

With that, she got up from the chair, picked up the pot on the table, and proceeded to pour two cups of tea. "Would you two like some tea?"

Mrs. Hughes clenched her fists. "Never! I wouldn't want to get poisoned by you!"

"Suit yourself." Gwen smiled as she handed the cup to Steven. "Are you worried about getting poisoned, my dear?"

Steven shook his head, took the cup from her, and emptied it in one sip.

Then, he placed the cup back on the table and glanced at his mother. "Mother, if you don't feel like drinking anything, shall we order some food? We should have a nice meal as a proper family."

"A proper family?" Mrs. Hughes frowned and slammed the table in indignation. "Steven, no matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to convince me into blessing your relationship! You'd better break up with her as soon as possible!"

With that, she stood up in preparation to leave.

"She can't leave yet," Nigel's voice rang out in Gwen's earpiece. "My Daddy hasn't managed to find Uncle Sean yet. If they leave now, they'll probably return home, and we'll lose the trail!"

Gwen furrowed her brow, leaped up, and blocked Mrs. Hughes' way with her arms extended. "Now, now, let's not leave so soon."
