Chapter 2979


    “It’s in the city. Do you want toe?’ chirped Winson over the phone. “I’ll wait for you here!”


    After hesitating for a few seconds, Gwen eventually agreed. She did want to see the painting Winson


    mentioned.


    Theo never told her he painted her before, but…she and Luna did not know Theo when they were in


    high school. Maybe Theo did paint her before, but she did not know for sure.


    She believed Winson could tell it was her because they studied in high school together. Thus, she


    eventually agreed to go with a stomach full of curiosity. “Okay. Share the location with me. I’ll go over


    now.”


    After refreshing herself, she put on a jacket and went out. When she was downstairs, she saw the man


    waiting outside of her building again.


    Same as before, he dressed entirely in ck with a cap and mask covering his face.


    His presence reminded Gwen about what Luna told herst night.


    “Joshua sent him to keep you safe. His face is covered because he doesn’t want to scare anyone with


    his disfigured face. Joshua asked me to pass the message to you, asking you not to get near him or


    attempt to expose his face. That’ll hurt him and his feelings.”


    Gwen took a deep breath, decided against her initial wish to greet him, and instead walked away.


    The man continued to follow behind her while keeping a safe distance.


    With him around, Gwen felt safe.


    Soon, she arrived at the location Winson shared with her.


    “Gwen!” From afar, Winson waved his hand at Gwen passionately. “Over here!”


    Gwen smiled and walked toward Winson. Just as she was at a certain distance, however, a car sped


    out of nowhere.


    “Be careful!” shouted Winson, alerting Gwen of the impending danger.


    All of a sudden, Gwen felt herself being pulled and wrapped in a man’s arms as they rolled to the


    roadside.


    “Gwen, are you alright?!” shouted Winson worriedly.

    It was only then Gwen realized what happened. As her mind slowly functioned once more, she realized


    that the man dressed in ck was hugging her as theyy beside the road. To protect her, his back


    knocked on the corner of the stone divider on the road.


    Gwen frowned and quickly got away from him. Her eyebrows furrowed as she asked,


    “Are you alright?"
