---- not return until sunset. He returned with a large bouquet of white roses. Jenna was curled up on the couch with her knees in her arms when she heard him and subconsciously looked up. "Jenna, why didn't you turn on the lights at home?" He pressed the switch, and the living room, which had been completely dark, lit up instantly. Jenna stared blankly at him. She slowly scanned his face, trying to find something different from before. However, there was nothing; he seemed just like usual. Even the look in his eyes as he gazed at her was filled with familiar affection. Matthew looked down at the bleeding wound on Jenna's calf, and his pupils constricted. "Why are you hurt?" He then hurriedly grabbed the first aid kit, held Jenna's ankle, and carefully helped her take care of her wound. "Jenna, how did you get injured?" His concerned and distressed expression seemed real, not fake at all. ---- Jenna's eyes instantly reddened as she whispered, "I got into a car accident while I was out today." "Why didn't you contact me..." Matthew suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence. As if realizing something, he abruptly lowered his eyes, his voice tinted with guilt. "I'm sorry, Jenna. I should've come back earlier." Ahint of mockery gradually appeared on Jenna's face. Those indulging in pleasure would not be willing to withdraw from it so easily. With that in mind, she said indifferently, "It's alright. Work is important." After a pause, she looked down and whispered, "Your birthday is in a month. I'll prepare a gift that will please you." Her lashes were long and thick, almost concealing the emotions in her eyes when she looked down. Matthew did not notice anything unusual about her. The moment he heard that Jenna was going to prepare a gift for him, his eyes instantly lit up with surprise. " I'll be counting down the days. My darling Jenna, you always know how to handle me." ---- Jenna looked at Matthew, whose face was brimming with sweetness and joy. A sudden wave of bitterness surged in her heart. Having dated for five years and married for seven, she had never missed his birthday in the past 12 years. The 12 gifts from previous years were carefully placed in the storage closet. Jenna supposed he would also be pleased with this year's birthday gift. After all, he liked that lady very much.
