Chapter 462 Crying for Him
In response to Gabriel's complaint, Sophia said, "Since you chose to keep our marriage a secret back then, there's no need for others to know I'm your ex-wife now."
Sophia's words almost made Gabriel bite his tongue.
Those words hit a little too close to home, but it was the truth.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Sophia sensed Gabriel's dejection, and she relented slightly. "What I mean is, I don't want to be overly scrutinized, and I've worked hard to excel at work. I don't want people to say I got in because of you."
After saying this, Sophia felt something was off, but the more she spoke, the worse it got.
Sophia simply shut her mouth.
Because of her words, Gabriel smiled happily. "I know, don't worry. We'll go public whenever you want."
Sophia was shocked. 'Go public with what? Go public with the fact that they were married? That is unnecessary.'
After school, Emma streamed for an hour, and MilkSugar's popularity continued to rise.
Ever since Gabriel became her backer, Emma also had a professional business team behind her, dedicated to maintaining her reputation. Whenever someone tried to slander Emma, the team would handle it immediately.
Emma still only streamed for herself and didn't take any business collaborations. As a game streamer unswayed by the prospect of riches, she attracted a large wave of fans with her rare attribute. Now, every one of Emma's streams had hundreds of thousands of viewers, with the highest stream reaching five million.
Emma had become the biggest streamer in the industry. This made Tiffany, who had also become a streamer, a bit jealous.
Now that she had stopped mentioning Gabriel, Tiffany's stream viewership dropped significantly. She watched several of MilkSugar's streams and saw her wearing a mask and using beauty filters.
She felt that MilkSugar seemed familiar. Maybe she had seen her somewhere before.
MilkSugar was five-year-old genius gamer girl who came from a wealthy and influential family. Even internet sleuths couldn't uncover MilkSugar's true identity, showing how powerful her family's background was.
In City B, there weren't many wealthy families with a five-year-old girl. Maybe Tiffany could contact this MilkSugar and collaborate with her.
Tiffany's phone rang.
It was that unknown number!
Tiffany held her breath and anxiously answered after a while. "Hello."
"Hello."
A cold, altered voice came through.
"Who are you?" Tiffany had looked up this number but couldn't find anything.
"Raskolnikov is dead. Those things can no longer be traced back to you." The person on the other end said, ignoring her question.
Tiffany tightly gripped her phone. She had already received news of Raskolnikov's suicide.
She didn't expect the person on the other end to be so capable and ruthless.
"Why are you helping me? What do you want?" Tiffany swallowed hard.
"We're on the same side. Helping you is helping myself."
Listening to these ambiguous words, Tiffany felt a chill run down her spine.
The cold, mechanical voice came through the phone again. "Now you can pursue what you love. Do whatever you want. I will help you achieve your wishes."
"You know what my wish is?"
"Of course."
Tiffany shivered. She didn't know who the other person was, but they were capable of many things and had investigated her thoroughly.
Tiffany wanted to say something more, but the other person had already hung up. She sat on the sofa, staring at her phone for a long time.
A glint of determination flashed in her eyes. No matter who the other person was, since they were helping her, she had no reason to refuse.
Maybe they really could help her achieve her wish!
For a moment, Tiffany felt incredibly good.
Meanwhile, at the Lancaster household, the three kids saw their parents come home together, and Emma ran over to be hugged by Gabriel.
Gabriel had barely stepped indoors and was already eager to pick Emma up.
"Emma, your daddy's injury hasn't healed yet," Sophia reminded her.
Emma instantly withdrew her hands. "Then I won't ask for a hug."
Gabriel was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face.
He pinched Emma's chubby cheek. "Are you worried about me?" he asked Emma, but his eyes glanced meaningfully at Sophia.
"Of course, I'm worried. Daddy, you were so badly injured, I was so scared you wouldn't wake up. Mommy was scared too; she even cried."
Gabriel's expression changed slightly. He looked at Sophia in surprise. 'She cried for me?'
His heart felt warm and satisfied.
"Emma, have you done your homework?" Sophia, afraid Emma would continue to say more, quickly tried to take her away.
But Gabriel held onto Emma's hand. "Come on, I'll play games with you."
Gabriel forcibly took Emma away.
Emma would definitely spill everything about her.
Sophia wanted to use her motherly authority to pull Emma back, but Gabriel took Emma straight upstairs to the study, closed the door, and completely shut her out.
Sophia was silent.
From Emma, Gabriel learned all of Sophia's reactions during his severe injury and coma.
He was stunned. He thought she hated him to the core, but he didn't expect that she would cry for him, worry, and be anxious.
Gabriel's heart suddenly came alive. He felt a surge of confidence.
He gave Emma a big kiss. "You're really my sweetheart."
Emma blinked her big, adorable eyes. "Can your sweetheart ask for a gift?"
"Of course, just tell me what you want."
"I want the latest gear in the game."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I give you enough money?"
Emma shook her head. "That gear can't be bought; it's a random drop from completing tasks."
She had been so unlucky that even after completing all the tasks, she didn't get the gear, which frustrated her to no end.
"Alright, I'll get you that gear."
"Thank you, daddy." Emma threw herself into Gabriel's arms.
Emma's cuteness melted Gabriel's heart. At that moment, no matter what Emma wanted, he would probably find a way to get it for her.
Soon, the game company received an email from Gabriel, the president of the Lancaster Group.
At 9:30, Sophia put the three kids to bed and came out, ready to go back to her room.
"Sophie." Gabriel's magnetic and pleasant voice called out to her.
Sophia stopped in her tracks and looked up to see Gabriel standing there, leaning against the wall, wearing a robe with the collar open, revealing his sharp collarbones and smooth skin. His messy, damp hair added a wild sense of charm.
A drop of water fell from his hair onto his collarbones and continued to slide down along the graceful lines of his body.
Sophia couldn't help but gulp, captivated by his seductive yet restrained appearance.
For a moment, she didn't know where she was or what she should do.
