Chapter 2338 

The warm afternoon sun seeped through the window and into the dining room.

Gwen's tiny, pleading face looked extra endearing in the warm light.

Luke turned around, but when faced with Gwen's hopeful gaze, the words 'in your dreams' got caught in his throat, unable to be enunciated.He froze for a moment and finally asked,"What...do you want to eat?"
