Chapter 134 Jessica Is His Unique View
At this moment, Rex Armstrong, who was rowing a boat in the creek, happened to come by. Jessica quickly pointed and diverted attention, saying, "Look, the boat is coming. Let's go take a ride."
"Okay," Gabriel nodded.
After they spoke, they realized the boat had already passed.
"Hurry up, or we'll miss it," Jessica shouted.
"Follow me," Gabriel said.
Without thinking, Gabriel grabbed Jessica's hand and started running forward.
Jessica let him hold her hand and followed his pace, trying hard to run forward.
As they ran, a breeze suddenly blew in their faces, particularly refreshing. More importantly, it carried a fragrant floral scent, making them feel invigorated and extremely comfortable.
Jessica smiled. "What a lovely floral scent, light yet fragrant."
Gabriel turned his head, and his eyes gently fell on Jessica's face.
When he saw her gentle and beautiful face, his gaze froze, especially as her lips curved slightly, her beautiful smile rippling in the breeze. Gabriel felt it was a perfect picture.
If he had a camera, he would have captured this moment.
But even without one, it didn't matter. He would rely on his heart and memory to preserve this most beautiful moment.
They ran, panting heavily.
Fortunately, the result was good; they finally caught up with Rex's boat.
After getting on, Jessica's lips curved, her face bright and radiant as she looked at Rex. "Luckily, you stopped for a moment, or we wouldn't have made it."
Rex looked at their fashionable attire and laughed. "My name is Rex Armstrong. You two must be from the city, right? Aren't there special tourist boats? Why are you interested in my little old boat?"
Jessica laughed and explained, "Rex, I think your boat is the most authentic and charming."
Her words made Rex laugh heartily. "You sweet-talking girl, I like you. Please remain seated, and let me show you the charm of this little boat."
"Okay, Rex, go ahead." As soon as Jessica finished speaking, the boat suddenly sped up.
With the sudden acceleration, Jessica leaned back, but fortunately, Gabriel held her hand firmly.
After realizing it, Jessica noticed they were still holding hands.
She quickly looked down, a bit embarrassed, and said, "You can let go now."
Gabriel heard her, but he didn't let go, pretending not to hear.
Jessica thought he hadn't heard, so she poked his arm and said, "We're already on the boat; let's let go."
This time, it was hard for Gabriel to pretend he didn't hear. Looking around at the flowing water, he turned to Jessica. "This boat is less safe than the tourist boat. I feel more at ease holding onto you."
Jessica explained, "It's okay. Rex has been rowing on this river all his life; it's definitely safe."
"Well, I know you're not scared, but I am." After Gabriel spoke, Jessica felt a bit bewildered.
This didn't make any sense.
Besides, she seriously doubted Gabriel was lying to her.
Gabriel could swim; she had seen it, and he was very skilled.
With his swimming skills, even if he fell into the river, he wouldn't be scared at all, let alone sitting on the boat. He was definitely lying to her.
However, Jessica thought that if she had exposed him, it would have been awkward for both of them.
So now, she could only pretend he was really scared.
"Okay, then let's not let go," Jessica said.
At this moment, Rex, who was rowing the boat, laughed and said. "Young lady, your boyfriend went to great lengths to hold your hand. He's a good guy."
Jessica's cheeks turned slightly red. "Rex, he's not my boyfriend."
Rex asked again, "Then he's your husband? No, that can't be right. Couples wouldn't be so polite. You must have just gotten married and are still shy."
This time, Jessica didn't answer.
He was indeed her husband, but they weren't newlyweds; they were about to get divorced, which was why they seemed so polite and distant.
At this moment, Rex's boat sped up.
A refreshing breeze blew in, still accompanied by a light floral scent.
A familiar melody came from one side of the creek, a gentle tune slowly spreading.
In the past, time moved slowly
A song full of deep and tender feelings.
If she hadn't been holding back, Jessica would have been in tears.
She was moved.
She was really moved.
Especially after learning about Xavier and Ximena's love story, she had a deeper understanding of this song.
If there were a time machine, she would want to go back to that era.
To love one person for a lifetime was such a beautiful vow.
This was more beautiful than any gold, jewelry, money, or mansion.
This was the most beautiful form of love!
Unfortunately, she would never have the chance in this lifetime.
The boat had been sailing for a while when suddenly, a strong floral scent wafted in. Jessica curiously asked, "Rex, why does it smell so fragrant?"
Rex laughed. "Miss, close your eyes. You'll know in two minutes. Trust me, there will be a surprise."
Jessica closed her eyes, half in disbelief.
"Miss, you can open them now." Two minutes later, when Rex spoke, Jessica immediately opened her eyes.
When she saw the banks of the creek filled with vibrant, blooming flowers, she was truly stunned.
Besides some clusters of bright, colorful large flowers, there were also some elegant little red and yellow flowers dotting the green branches, making them look even more delicate and charming.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Jessica would have thought everything in front of her was fake, but the floral scent drifting in the wind didn't lie.
"It's so beautiful." Jessica was completely amazed.
It was really beautiful, like entering a secret garden with the boat.
Everything was extremely beautiful.
At this moment, with a sound, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky.
Jessica looked up and softly murmured, "If it were nighttime, these fireworks would be even more beautiful."
Jessica was looking at the scenery, the delicate and fragrant flowers, and the beautiful and brilliant fireworks.
However, Jessica didn't know that Gabriel was looking at her.
Looking at her gentle smile, her every move, her charming and tender demeanor.
At this moment, she was his scenery.
The best scenery, the unique scenery.
As night fell, Jessica and Gabriel walked toward Xavier and Ximena's house.
Suddenly, Jessica felt a weight on her shoulders. She looked up and saw that Gabriel had taken off his jacket and draped it over her.
"I'm fine, not cold," Jessica said.
Gabriel put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the few stars that had just appeared. "Well, I walked a lot today and got a bit hot. I wanted you to help me share the load."
