Chapter 2699


    Rachel did not expect Gwen to suddenly bow for her, so she froze momentarily in surprise before finally


    frowning in disapproval. “Gwen, you‘re Luna‘s friend, so you‘re a friend of mine, too. “Even though I‘ve


    never been an openly warm person, my heart isn‘t made of stone either, so you don‘t have to be so


    courteous with me.”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    She sighed and added, “Let‘s agree to wait until the DNA reportes out tomorrow before we decide


    on a course of action, alright?”


    Gwen nodded earnestly.


    She lifted her head to nce at Rachel onest time before finally returning to her room.


    After seeing Gwen close the door behind her, Luna finally sighed and gently patted Rachel‘s shoulder.


    “This is a surprise.”


    She never thought that Rachel, who had always been a calm and somewhat stiff person, would talk to


    Gwen so gently in response to her gratitude.


    Not only that… This was so foreign to Luna that she could not help thinking that this was not Rachel at


    all but a stranger who just so happened to look identical to her. Rachel had never acted this way, not


    even to Theo.


    She had always been a strict and professional person. Rachel let out a sheepishugh when she heard


    Luna‘sment. She knew exactly what Luna was referring to.


    She sighed and turned to stare at Gwen‘s closed door. “How can I bear to let her down?”


    Luna nodded and could not help agreeing.


    Rachel was right; no one could possibly bear to let Gwen down…except for Luke. Despite knowing how


    devastated Gwen would be after his death, he still chose to go ahead with his n. Luna guessed that


    Luke had probably underestimated Gwen‘s love for him and thus did not think that she would be sad for


    too long after his death.


    However, it seemed that…even Luke himself had underestimated Gwen‘s loyalty.


    Just as the two women were immersed in their thoughts, Rachel‘s phone suddenly rang.


    Her brow furrowed as she lowered her head to nce at the screen.


    It was Theo.


    She let out an exasperated sigh and pressed decline. “Excuse me for a while. I need to go to the


    bathroom.”


    With that, she disappeared into the bathroom.


    The moment Rachel closed the door behind her, Luna‘s phone began to ring. She nced at the


    screen.


    It was Theo again. Luna curled her lips into a smirk and nced at the closed door. When she heard


    the sound of running watering from inside the bathroom, she could not help shaking her head.


    “Hi, Theo.” Luna went out on the balcony to pick up the call.


    “Luna, I‘ve arrived in Saigen City,” Theo said as he stood at the entrance of Saigen City Airport,


    shivering in the cold. “Why is it winter here in this horrible ce? I didn‘t bring a single winter coat with


    me, and now I‘m freezing! Can you and Rachele to pick me up?” Luna chuckled when she heard


    Theo‘s teeth chattering. “Didn‘t you check the weather forecast beforeing?” Saigen City and


    Merchant City were numerous time zones away from each other, so of course the weather would be


    drastically different. Even though it was still autumn in Merchant City, Saigen City was already in the


    throes of winter.


    “I came here because of Rachel, so how can I be bothered even to check the weather?” Theo‘s voice


    was trembling from the cold. “Come pick me up quickly!” Luna snickered. “You probably just want


    Rachel and can‘t care less whether I go or not, right?”


    She had noticed Rachel declining his call. Theo was silent for a moment before finallyughing


    sheepishly. “You‘re right, as always, but


    He nced at his clothes. “But I‘m not lying about the cold. If you don‘te soon, I‘m going to


    be a block of ice.”
