Perhaps Jenna had caught a cold from the cold breeze all night, but she felt unwell and had a slight cough when she woke up the next day.

Matthew was heartbroken when he saw this. Seeing that she had no appetite, he ordered her favorite stew.

However, the delivery did not arrive for a long time. Jenna called to ask, yet the food delivery platform said that the seller would deliver it themselves. When she tried to contact the seller, she could not get through to them.

After an hour and a half, the doorbell finally rang.

The moment Jenna opened the door, her face was already tinged with anger. "How could you have taken so long..."

Jenna froze before she could finish speaking.

The person standing at the door was Luna. She was covered in mud, carrying a takeout bag. She was staring at Jenna without blinking. After a long time, she smiled faintly and answered, "We finally meet, Ms. Scott. I came to surprise you."

Jenna clenched her fists.

The next second, Luna dropped the takeout bag to the floor. At the same time, she plopped down on the ground, and her eyes reddened immediately. "I'm sorry. I accidentally fell on the way here and hurt my leg. That's why I'm late..."

Jenna said nothing but waited quietly for her next trick. As expected, Matthew's figure soon appeared. He first asked Jenna who was standing in the doorway with an indifferent expression, "Jenna, what happened?"

Then, he looked down at Luna sitting amidst the mess on the ground. He was so shocked that his tone changed. "Why are you here?"

Luna was huddled on the ground with red eyes. The stew had spilled all over the ground, staining her clothes and making her look particularly disheveled.

"Sorry for being late, Mr. Simmons. Your wife probably pushed me out of anger. She didn't push me hard. It's my fault for losing my footing... I just hope you'll intercede for me. It took me a lot of effort to find this job."

Jenna looked down at the pitiful Luna before looking up at Matthew.

However, Matthew did not even look at her. He strode to Luna and helped her up. "What happened to your foot?"

Luna's ankle was still bleeding. "I accidentally fell on the way here..."

"Let's go to the hospital first!" Matthew picked up Luna in his arms and was about to leave.

Jenna could not help calling to him, "Matthew, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

He paused for a moment before turning around with his eyes lowered. "Luna saved me the day I was hit by the chandelier. Jenna, what you did today has let me down." With that said, he hurried away with Luna in his arms.

Jenna saw Luna turn around and flash her a triumphant smile when she got into the passenger seat of Matthew's car. Jenna's phone suddenly vibrated, and she tapped on it to find a voice message from Luna.

As soon as it played, Matthew's voice rang out. "I only asked you to pretend to be a food delivery rider and deliver her order. How did you get yourself into this mess?"

Luna answered coquettishly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm just too clumsy."

He sighed helplessly. "I don't mean to blame you. I just feel sorry for you. But don't worry, I'll tell Jenna to arrange a job for you when I get home."

Luna responded, "Okay. You're the best, Matt. I love you."

Jenna then received a provocative message from Luna.

Luna: [Do you like this gift, Ms. Scott?]

Jenna clutched her phone and did not respond. She only took screenshots of all the messages Luna sent. Her hands shook while she did it.

In a daze, she thought of her wedding day. Matthew had held her hand and solemnly vowed, "Everything else in this world may change, but I'll always love Jenna. I'll never stray or have a change of heart."

She trusted him very much and always thought that she was the only one for him, but it turned out that nothing lasted forever. He had long grown tired of their lukewarm relationship, which was why Luna appeared.

The pages of the notebook in front of Jenna were stained with tears. She clutched her hands tightly and reassured herself that it would all be over soon.

Matthew was still angry when he came back that evening. "Jenna, Luna is my savior. You shouldn't have treated her this way today. Her parents preferred sons to daughters, so they forced her to help her younger brother. She has gone through so much suffering from a young age. To support her family and feed herself, she took up a job delivering food.

"Luna is really pitiful while you have everything. You shouldn't pick on such an unfortunate girl."

Jenna stared at him for a long time before tears slowly ran down her face. She tried to wipe them, but they only flowed more violently. In the end, she covered her face with her hands and burst into tears. She thought to herself, 'I see. Turns out this is the surprise. That's what this performance is all about.'

All of this was done to make her compromise and agree to let Luna stay by Matthew's side as his assistant. He had gone through so much trouble.

Matthew instantly panicked when he saw her reaction. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mean to you, Jenna. Babe, don't cry. It's all my fault. I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so harsh..."

He even kneeled on the ground and grabbed Jenna's hand to slap himself in the face repeatedly. "I'm sorry, Jenna. Please stop crying, okay? It hurts me when you do this."

Jenna covered her face while Matthew continued to coax and apologize. There was no impatience—only guilt, panic, and sorry.

Jenna cried for a long time. Finally, she said breathlessly, "You have my approval. Arrange a job for her."

Surprise flickered in Matthew's eyes. He kissed Jenna's cheek. "Thank you, Jenna. I knew you're the kindest."

…

In the middle of the night, Matthew gently called out to Jenna, "Jenna, are you asleep?"

After repeatedly confirming in a gentle tone that she was asleep, Matthew got up and went to the balcony to make a phone call. "See, I told you I could solve this. Just report to the company tomorrow. Don't worry. No one will dare to make things difficult for you."

Jenna listened in silence. She was a few steps away and separated by a glass door.

Matthew whispered touching sweet words to Luna, "Now, we can finally spend every day together openly." His tone was extremely gentle and affectionate while white smoke rose from between his fingers.

Jenna stared at him blankly until Matthew turned his head as if he had noticed something and met her eyes through the glass. He froze in place. "Jenna."

Jenna closed her eyes briefly and asked in a hoarse voice, "Matthew, who are you talking on the phone with?"

"My subordinate at work. There's a small issue with the new proposal, and they're asking me for my input." He put away his phone and walked toward her, his tone sounding so natural as if he had used the same excuse countless times before.

She smelled the lingering smell of tobacco on him and coughed slightly. Nervous, he reached out to feel her forehead. "You're not running a fever again, are you? It's been raining outside, and the weather's chilly. How about I turn up the air conditioning?"

As he spoke, he imperceptibly scanned her face as though observing whether she had overheard what he had said earlier.

Jenna pulled her pajamas a little tighter around herself and gently responded, "Yeah, sure." Her tone was gentle and calm as usual.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he relaxed slowly. "Let's go back to bed."

He quickly fell asleep once back in bed.

Jenna was wrapped tightly under the covers, staring blankly at the pitch-black ceiling. Every time she closed her eyes, she would recall the past. Whether it was when they first got together or when he successfully proposed, Matthew had promised countless times that he would never lie to her. However, every second of their time together was filled with deception.

In the moonlight, Jenna turned her head slightly as she scanned Matthew's features inch by inch. She thought, 'Matthew, I'll leave you forever in just two more days. I hope you'll be pleased with your birthday gift this year.'

The day before the emotion transplant surgery, Jenna went to the hospital for a compulsory physical examination to confirm that she was healthy before the research institute carried out the operation. "Doctor, may I ask if my body is strong enough to undergo this transplant?"

She breathed a sigh of relief when she received a positive answer. Now that everything was ready, she only needed the final push. She came out clutching the report and had just reached the corner of the hallway when she coincidentally heard Matthew's name.

"Matt, feel it. Our baby is in here. Are you happy?" Luna asked.

Jenna froze in place.

Not far away, Matthew was helping Luna, whose belly was slightly protruding, out of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. Jenna saw Matthew carefully helping Luna like she was a treasure, and his face was full of joy as a new father.

'Luna is pregnant? They're having a baby?' Jenna pondered as she hid in the corner. Her heart was in so much pain that she was having trouble breathing. She picked up her phone and called Matthew. She watched Matthew kiss Luna on the lips before stepping aside to answer the phone.

"Hello? Jenna, I'm at work right now. I forgot to tell you because I have an emergency to attend to. I'll be home to accompany you as soon as I can. I'll buy you your favorite dessert on my way back—"

Jenna interrupted him and muttered, "Matthew, look back. I'm right behind you."

That moment felt as if a knife was stabbed into Matthew's back. Jenna watched as his back straightened instantly, and he froze in place.

It took a long time before Matthew turned around while trembling.

Behind him, people were coming and going in the corridor while Jenna just stood there, looking at him coldly.

Jenna eyed him, thinking that he looked as though he had just been struck by lightning. After a long while, she chuckled softly. "What's with that expression?"

Matthew paused for a moment before quickly changing his expression to nervousness and worry. "Jenna, why are you in the hospital? Are you feeling unwell or injured?"

He grabbed her arms, looking utterly anxious. "Let me see. Jenna, what's wrong with you?" He looked her up and down, his eyes full of anxious concern as if he had not just lied to her.

Jenna smiled in self-mockery. "I just had a medical examination."

He did not believe it, so she took out the medical examination report from her bag and handed it to him. Judging from the data, there was nothing seriously wrong with her health. Matthew read the report carefully a couple of times and stared at the line—'All physical indicators meet the surgical requirements' before asking her, "Jenna, what does this mean? What surgery are you having? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Instead of answering him, Jenna calmly asked, "Didn't you say you were at work? Why are you here with Luna?"

Panic rose in Matthew's eyes. His Adam's apple rolled, but he stammered, unable to say a word.

Luna walked over. "Mrs. Simmons, don't blame Mr. Simmons. I'm pregnant, but my boyfriend can't take responsibility for me for now..." Her eyes reddened as if she had suffered a great injustice as she continued, "I didn't want anyone else to know, so I begged Mr. Simmons to keep it a secret for me. He didn't mean to lie to you."

'For now?' Jenna wondered.

It seemed that Luna was confident that she would end up marrying Matthew.

Jenna looked at Matthew's tense face and laughed sarcastically in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. "Is what she said true?"

He quickly nodded. "Of course. Jenna, you know I'd never lie to you in any other circumstances."

Jenna looked down, finding it more ironic. He had told her so many lies.

"Let's go home, then," Jenna said indifferently. She could not be bothered to expose him at this point.
