I opened my eyes groggily, unable to distinguish between dream and reality. The person before me seemed to overlap with the image of the young man in my memories.
My lips suddenly trembled, and I reached out both hands to him, feeling extremely wronged, “Hug~”
The person in front of me was stunned for a moment, then immediately held me tightly in his arms, gently patting and comforting me, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, hubby’s here.”
The word “hubby” instantly pulled me back to reality.
I immediately retreated from his embrace, “Why are you back?”
He looked a bit amused, “Are you still half asleep? This is my home, where else would I go?”
I didn’t want to deal with him and lay back down, turning my back to him.
“I brought you your favorite cake from that shop, do you want to eat it now?”
“Emily, ever since we lost the baby, you’ve been immersed in pain. I know you’re sad, but… it’s been half a year, you should try to move on. Do you want to go on a trip to change your mood? We could go anywhere, domestic or abroad…”
Seeing that I didn’t respond, he sighed, “I’ll be in the study. You sleep first.”
I stared blankly in the direction he left.
You see, he’s still gentle and caring towards me, very attentive. Should I say his acting is too good?
Jason, which version of you is the real one…
I couldn’t sleep and lay awake until dawn.
The next day, I put on slightly heavier makeup to cover my haggard appearance, dressed up carefully, and went to Jason’s company with a food container.
Jason has stomach problems, and for years, I’ve insisted on bringing him lunch.

After Amber became his assistant, occasionally other food containers would appear on his desk. Once I happened to run into this, and I asked Jason where it came from.
He was typing on his keyboard and didn’t even look up, “Oh, maybe Assistant Sullivan brought it over.”
“Then why didn’t you eat it?” I asked deliberately.
“I only eat the food you cook.”
“Does Assistant Sullivan often bring food? Is her cooking good?”
“I don’t know, I’ve never eaten it.”
At this, Jason finally looked up from his pile of work, looking at me strangely, “Why are you suddenly interested in others? Isn’t my living presence in front of you enough to attract your attention?”
I smiled, “If you’re not going to eat it, tell her not to make it anymore, to avoid waste.”
“I told her, but she doesn’t listen. She says whether I eat or not is my business, whether she cooks or not is hers. She just does it for peace of mind.”
Jason and I once accidentally saved Amber.
She was escaping after being kidnapped from the mountains when she met us driving by, and we took her to the police station.
ME
Later, after learning about her experience, we helped fund her to continue college.
She gratefully said she would consider Jason as her brother and would repay us well in the future.
Because of this relationship, she directly entered SQ Company after graduation and became Jason’s assistant.
So, I also thought she did these things purely out of gratitude.
Since the miscarriage, I had rarely come to the company.
The receptionist was quite surprised to see me, but her attitude towards me was as warm and respectful as always.
I went straight to the top floor in the elevator. When Amber saw me, she came over with a smile, “Sis, you’re here to bring lunch for Jason?”
With just one glance, I noticed the necklace hanging around her neck. I had an identical one at home.
It was a wedding anniversary gift from Jason to me. I remember Amber had praised it at the time, “This necklace is so beautiful, Jason has great taste. You’re so lucky, sis. Unlike me, I probably won’t have a chance to wear such a pretty necklace in my lifetime.”
Suddenly, I felt sick.
Seeing me staring at her neck, Amber also smiled at me, showing no signs of guilt.
“Your necklace…”
“Oh, you mean this?” She casually fiddled with it around her neck and waved her hand, whispering to me, “This is a fake. I bought it on Amazon for just a few bucks, just to wear for fun. Sis, isn’t it pretty good? It even fooled you into thinking it was real?”
Amber, afraid I didn’t believe her, emphasized again, “Really, sis. I can show you the link if you don’t believe me.”
I hadn’t noticed before, but now hearing her repeatedly call me “sis“, I just felt irritated.
“From now on, don’t call me sis anymore. Please address me as Mrs. Quinn.”
Amber’s expression changed, and she seemed at a loss, like a child who had done something wrong, “Ah! I didn’t mean anything by it, I just thought calling you sis was more affectionate. If you don’t like it, I won’t call you that anymore.”
