Chapter 343 A Happy Family of Four
It had been days since they last saw each other, and Jessica had never missed Gabriel this much until now.
It was like she was back to the days when she had a secret crush on him. Her heart started pounding uncontrollably.
"Jessica!" Gabriel called out as he rushed in after getting out of the car.
He was still panting heavily when he saw her.
The moment he saw the figure he had been longing for day and night, he couldn't hold back any longer and ran towards her frantically.
Timothy and Charlotte had already ushered everyone else out. Without hesitation, Gabriel ran over and tightly embraced Jessica.
Surrounded by his scent, Jessica wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him tightly, wishing time could freeze at this moment. They held each other in silence.
After a long while, realizing they were still in the living room, Jessica let go of him, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Everyone's watching."
"No, it's just the two of us," Gabriel replied. With that, he scooped Jessica up in his arms.
It happened so suddenly, Jessica almost screamed. Seeing no one around, she quickly bit her lip, afraid that her scream might actually draw people out.
At the same time, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Gabriel's neck. "Why did you suddenly pick me up?"
"No reason, I just wanted to."
Once in the room, Gabriel placed Jessica on the bed.
Seeing the stubble on his face, Jessica tried to say something, but Gabriel was already pressing down on her, his breath hot and heavy. The next moment, her soft lips were seized by his forcefully.
At first, his kiss was gentle and restrained. But as their passion ignited, Gabriel quickly became unsatisfied with just a taste.
Holding the back of her head with one hand, he soon became dominant and aggressive. All the longing of the past days fermented in that kiss, and Jessica felt like a small boat, rising and falling in the waves of a vast ocean.
In the end, her body went limp, and even her breathing became unsteady. Her hands could only clutch at his shirt, barely supporting herself.
If it weren't for the bed behind her, Jessica really doubted she would just fall down.
When they finally parted, Gabriel touched his forehead to hers, breathing heavily. It wasn't just her, he was breathless too.
His breath was so hot, so scorching, that despite the distance between them, Jessica still felt her face flush.
After a while, Gabriel's breathing was still a bit unsteady. Holding Jessica's face, his voice was hoarse. "I really hope all this will be over soon, and I hope your first three months will pass quickly too."
"What... do you mean?" Jessica realized something, her face turning even redder.
Gabriel smiled gently, his eyes softening as he looked at her. Jessica reached out and gently rubbed the stubble on his face. "Gabriel, how many days has it been since you shaved? Your stubble has gotten so long."
"Does it look good? Do I look more mature?"
As he spoke, Gabriel deliberately rubbed his stubble against Jessica.
Jessica laughed and dodged.
Seeing her laugh so happily, Gabriel became even more playful, putting one arm around her waist and holding her face with the other. They shared a few more moments of laughter and closeness before finally settling down.
Jessica's fingers rested on his stubble, her gaze softening, "You used to be so particular about your appearance, and now you don't even care about this. You must have been really busy lately. Do you trust me?"
Gabriel puzzled for a moment, but caught on quickly. "You want to shave it for me?"
"Are you afraid?" she teased.
Gabriel didn't say anything but led Jessica by the hand to the bathroom. He picked up the razor and handed it to her.
Jessica shook her head. "I'm not confident with this, I'll use the electric one."
"It's okay, I trust you completely, Mrs. Walton," Gabriel joked, adressing her formally.
Jessica smiled and used the traditional method to apply shaving cream to his stubble until it turned into a lather. Then she started shaving him bit by bit with the razor.
Gabriel was very cooperative, and the more Jessica shaved, the more confident she felt, thinking she was doing a great job.
After the foam was washed off, however, she realized she had cut his chin in several places.
Seeing the blood on his chin, Jessica felt heartbroken. "You've got cuts, why didn't you say anything? And there are several of them."
"It's nothing, they'll heal in a couple of days."
"Does it hurt? Let me put some ointment on it."
"Okay."
However, their time together was always short. By noon, while Jessica was taking a nap, Gabriel had already left. He didn't return home until late at night.
Seeing Jessica sound asleep, he gently lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down beside her. Feeling his return, Jessica rolled over in bed, hugging his waist, and then continued to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, after breakfast, Gabriel surprisingly didn't rush off to work.
Jessica was surprised. "Are you off today?"
"Just the morning." Gabriel raised his wrist to check his watch and then walked over to hold Jessica's hand. They walked to the study together, where he turned on the prepared computer.
Soon, the words "The Walton Group Press Conference" appeared on the screen. Jessica looked on in shock, her face full of confusion.
Gabriel sat on the leather sofa, pulling Jessica onto his lap. "Watch this with me," he said, his warm breath lingering by her ear.
"Okay."
At nine in the morning, everything officially began. In the video, Oscar appeared with a woman. Jessica was instantly stunned when she saw the woman's face.
The woman looked remarkably like her, especially the profile. It was almost identical to her own. Anyone who wasn't very familiar with Jessica would definitely mistake the woman for her.
With a guess already forming in her mind, Jessica suppressed her excitement and continued watching. The entire press conference was very brief, and the questions were extremely sharp, directly hitting the core issues.
When it was all over, Jessica couldn't hold back her tears as she looked at the screen. She turned around, hugged Gabriel tightly. Her voice trembled uncontrollably. "Thank you, Gabriel, thank you for proving my innocence."
She really didn't expect that he would find the woman from the video. And even made her admit everything. Now, no one would mistake Jessica for the heroine in the video anymore. She was finally released from the burden of endless humiliation.
Once she calmed down, Jessica finally smiled. It was a smile of excitement, joy, and relief.
Gabriel gently placed his hand over Jessica's, then intertwined their hands and placed them on her belly. "From now on, the four of us will live happily together!" he said joyfully.
