She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew) novel Chapter 231

Chapter 231
Jaden? Luna thought, slowly raising her head. She was so shocked that her sunglasses slid down her nose, revealing a pair of stunned eyes.
She wasn’t napping, and her cold had healed. She wondered how she could see Jaden. It had only been five or six minutes since she called Jaden. She couldn’t understand why Jaden was already there.
Jaden seemed to have seen through her thoughts and smiled. “I drove my brother to the airport. I received your call just as he boarded the plane.”
Luna was speechless as she thought, “This is indeed fate
A spring rain-like joy grew in her heart. It was dense and tender, but it nourished everything.
Luna smiled and stood up. “You drove Zayn to the airport?”
“No.” Jaden shook his head. “Zayn left for the crew the day after Christmas. I drove Joshua this time. He was going to Acloria to settle some private matters.
“Oh, what a coincidence,” Luna said. “Initially, I was sorry. I felt was causing you trouble to have made you make this trip.” “Don’t be sorry” Jaden wheeled Luna’s suitcase. “You’ve helped me a lot, too. It’s what I should do.”
Putting aside the fact that the crew had helped him open up a wasteland, grow vegetables, and raise chickens, just the fact that Luna had given Zayn pointers in acting was something Jaden would always remember in his heart.
Lana smiled. “Since you think I’ve helped you a lot, can you do me another favor?”
Jaden pulled Luna’s luggage downstairs. “Go ahead.”
Luna sighed. “At twenty-nine, I feel my life is just getting better, but my parents think I should settle down and urge me to get married. During Christmas, I went on blind dates every day. I felt like I was about to freak out.”
“Look” She took off her glasses and leaned her beautiful face over to Jaden. “Most people gain weight during holidays, but I lost ten pounds during the Christmas holiday, thanks to my family’s torture with those endless blind dates and naggings.”
Jaden glanced at Luna. “You’ve indeed lost weight.”
He felt the delicacies Luna had eaten at his house were about to protest.
“So, would you like to take pity on me and do me the favor?” Luna could not tell if she was acting or telling the truth. She blinked innocently and asked in a pitiful voice, “Pretend to be ray boyfriend for a while so I can deal with my parents, okay?”
He will probably agree, won’t he? After all, this is not a loss to him: Launa thought, “Besides, even if I’m not a superstar, I’m at least pretty, right?”
“No,” Jaden said without hesitation.
If she hadn’t removed her sunglasses, Luna felt off in shock. “Why?”

-Jaden said calmly, “I don’t like to joke about my relationship.”
Luna was at a loss for words, Then, she defended herself. “This it a joke. It’s an act of necessity.
Jaden turned it down again. “No”

up. “This is helping me.”

Jaden glanced at her. “No, I can’t help you this way?
Luna didn’t know what to say next. After a while, she said faintly “Do you know you’re quite cold-blooded sometimes?”
Jaden’s brows did not even twitch. “I do.”
Luna shrugged. “If so, I have nothing to say”
Jaden snorted. “You have a sore throat. You should talk less.”
Luna was speechless again, thinking she had never seen a man like Jaden.
The men she’d met had either looked down on an actress like her and drooled over her beauty at the same time, or were flattered and docile, or were attracted to her beauty, wealth, and Eime, both openly and covertly trying to attract her attention and win her favor. More or less, the men were curious and had improper thoughts about her.
But Jaden was different. He did not have any curiosity or desire to pursue her, nor did he intend to take advantage of her. However, he did not neglect or underestimate her.
There was admiration in the way he looked at Luna. Sometimes, there was a hint of pity that was not too much. It often moved her.
In addition, Luna admired Jaden’s attitude toward relationships. She was both depressed and impressed that he refused to be her fake boyfriend.
All in all, Jaden always knew the right thing to say and do. He always knew his place, spoke appropriately and behaved properly. It made Luna feel very comfortable.
While Luna was thinking, Jaden left the airport and came to the car. He opened the car door and said, “Miss Carter, please.
After Luna sat in the car, Jaden put the suitcase in the trunk and took a thermos and a food box from the back seat. This is the chicken soup and pancakes my mother made for us. You can fill your stomach first. I’ll cook for you when we reach the restaurant. After eating, Fll drive you back to your apartment”
Luna was overjoyed. She held the thermos in her left hand and the food box in her right. “Why are these in your car?”
Jaden answered. “My mother is afraid we will get hungry.”
Luna was at a loss for words. As she opened the food box, she sighed. “You’re turning thirty, aren’t you? Your parents don’t rush you to settle down. They support your career. They always make delicious food for you. They’re good parents.”
A smile appeared on Jaden’s face. “Indeed.”
Luna was drinking the chicken soup with one hand and eating some pancakes with the other. However, her gaze landed on Jaden’s face.
Jaden’s smile was warm. It was obvious that he loved his parents and family. He had a happy family.
Lana suddenly thought of how happy the girl who would marry Jaden would be to have a husband like Jaden, good parents- in-law, and a friendly, big family.
As she thought of it, her face turned red, which made her sigh inwardly. Tm twenty-nine and have been in the entertainment industry for many years. Why am I still fantasizing?
An hour later, Jaden arrived at Donovan’s Restaurant.
It was around three in the afternoon, and Donovan’s Restaurant was closed and quiet.
Jaden served Luna chicken soup and asked her what she wanted to eat. Then, he rolled up his sleeves, put on the chef’s hat

and mask, and began to busy himself in the kitchen.
The kitchen of the restaurant was open. Customers could see everything in the kitchen.
(amo sat at the dining table on the first floor, closest to the kitchen. She could not help but sigh as she watched Jaden busy Sorting and washing. She thought, ‘What did I do to deserve a man like Jaden to cook for me repeatedly?”
Hams thought a lot, but the moment she tasted the delicacies made by Jaden, all her worries and thoughts disappeared
Only a simple thought remained in her heart. “It’s so delicious.
love it!
