Chapter 140 Before the secretary could finish , Daniel suddenly stood up , his heart beating fast . He believed I still couldn't leave him . " It had always been this way : whenever he stayed at the office a few extra days , I would worry . I always brought him soup herself . " But who was the stranger with me this time ? } He cleared his throat and said , " Didn't I say that if my wife wants to see me , she can come straight up ? No need to tell me . Did she bring soup again ? " " The secretary paused , then gave an awkward smile . " No , she didn't bring soup . She just said she has something important to talk about . " [ Daniel nodded to himself , thinking maybe I was in a hurry this time and didn't have time to make soup . Thinking that , he looked at his assistant and said , " It's fine . Please invite my wife up . And bring me the necklace I bought at the auction . I want to give it to her . " After the secretary left , Daniel felt full of hope . He could already picture my face . I would probably look upset when I came in , maybe even ask why he didn't choose me that day . " Then , when I saw the necklace he had prepared , I would surely smile . Thinking about it , Daniel glanced out the window below . But he saw nothing . " Soon after , the secretary and a few staff came in . As they knocked , Daniel's eager voice came from inside . " Come in . " The door opened and Daniel looked over with expectation , only to freeze when he saw Jennifer . He said in disbelief , " Why is it you ? " Hearing that , Jennifer looked hurt . " If not me , then who ? Daniel , are you waiting for someone else ? " " You haven't been home for days , so I had to come to the office to find you . " Daniel ignored her upset tone and turned to the secretary in the front row . " Didn't you say my wife was coming to see me ? Why is she here ? " The young secretary looked like she was about to cry . " Mr. Chalamet , Miss Portman said she was your wife ... she even showed me a marriage certificate ... " " Alright , I get it . You can go now . " Once the secretary left , Daniel looked at Jennifer , clearly annoyed . " What do you want to talk about ? " Jennifer pointed to someone nearby and started explaining , " Daniel , didn't you say at the hospital that after my heart surgery , you'd consider our wedding ? " " I've found a great planner online and he can handle everything . Daniel , do you want an American - style wedding or a European one ? Or ... " " Enough ! " Daniel interrupted immediately . " When did I ever say I'd marry you after the surgery ? " } Jennifer's face froze . She opened her mouth to speak , but just then , the secretary knocked on the office door again . " He came in holding a gift box . " Mr. Chalamet , here's the necklace you said was for your wife ... " }
