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.”
She sighed and added, “Let‘s agree to wait until the DNA report comes out tomorrow before we decide on a course
of action, alright?”
Gwen nodded earnestly.
She lifted her head to glance at Rachel one last 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.”

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 sheepish laugh when she heard Luna‘s
comment. 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 plan. 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 glance 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 glanced at the screen.
It was Theo again. Luna curled her lips into a smirk and glanced at the closed door. When she heard the sound of
running water coming 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 place? I didn‘t bring a single winter coat with me, and now I‘m freezing!
Can you and Rachel come to pick me up?” Luna chuckled when she heard Theo‘s teeth chattering. “Didn‘t you
check the weather forecast before coming?” 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 finally laughing sheepishly. “You‘re
right, as always, but
He glanced at his clothes. “But I‘m not lying about the cold. If you don‘t come soon, I‘m going to become a block of
ice.”
