Young Bride in a Lightning Marriage: Never Tired of Mr. Leon’s Love

Chapter 560



"Gwen?!"

Linus' temples throbbed wildly. Gwen Zimmer had called him countless times, and every time, she caused such a commotion.

She was bad-tempered and vicious, and her so-called love for Linus was truly unbearable.

"Linus, I'm drunk... Will you still refuse to see me?" Gwen hiccuped.

There she went again. No matter how Linus rejected her, Gwen would never give up.

She would resort to any means necessary just to get a glimpse of him.

Linus pitied her at first, thinking that her life was truly miserable. Rejected by her own father and threatened by her own mother, she entered this world without blessings and was seen as nothing more than a money tree.

Gwen was likely far too intoxicated as her speech was slurred. "Have you completed the task the organization assigned to you?"

"Mhm."

Linus switched his phone to speaker mode and set it down.

"Gwen, if you're not feeling well, just go to sleep. I have things to do."

Linus tried to speak gently, hoping that Gwen would stop degrading herself like this, but she did not stop.

Her paranoia and fear never stopped, perhaps a result of years of cruelty within the organization.

In public, her father's subordinates treated her with respect, but behind her back, she always heard what others said about her. She was the illegitimate child of a mistress, condemned to a life in the shadows.

Linus' warmth was the last remaining warmth in Gwen's world, so how could she bear to let it go?NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Linus!" Sensing that Linus was about to hang up, Gwen pleaded, "Come back... I won't bother you anymore, okay?"

Linus sighed as he could not trust Gwen's words.

This was just another one of her tactics. Countless times before, Linus' sympathy led to him being entangled with Gwen.

He felt that he had been clear

enough with her, that she was merely one of his family members within the organization. He believed that everyone was created equal, but some within the organizationsimply went too far. to

Linus had met Gwen's mother before. That fierce and calculating woman was one of the main reasons why Gwen became who she was today.

"Gwen, listen to me. You don't have

to make me your whole world. I only see you as a friend, as

family

genuinely want you to be happy." to

Gwen's voice trembled as she responded, "Yes, I know, and I understand... I understand it better than anyone else..."

So what if she understood what Linus meant? She just... could not let go of him.........

Just imagining him falling in love with someone else and walking down the aisle with someone else suffocated her. It felt as if the was falling and the earth was shattering. How could she let go? to

"I'm glad you understand."

Linus' patience with Gwen was wearing thin.

"Get some rest. I'll report back to the organization tomorrow."

The metallic taste of blood was creeping up her throat as she said, “Okay..."

Linus ended the call, and the dial tone left Gwen dizzy, nearly causing her to vomit.

No... She could not let that happen...

Linus belonged to her.

Gwen staggered to the bathroom, and the taste of alcohol was thickening in her throat, making her nauseous. "Linus, you were the one who brought light into my life, so you have no right to tell me to abandon this light."
