Chapter 406 Reuniting with Dad 1
"Yeah, I'm looking for Mr. Walton. Mr. Assistant, do you know him?" Gilbert asked, tilting his head with an adorable expression.
"Of course, I'm Mr. Walton's assistant. I can take you to see him, but you need to tell me why first."
'It is simple. Because he is my dad.' Gilbert thought.
But he wanted to tell Gabriel his identity in person after meeting him.
So, he couldn't tell the assistant just yet.
But if he didn't, how could he convince him to take him to see his dad?
Gilbert continued to tilt his head and blinked his eyes.
Suddenly, he thought, since this person was his dad's assistant, he must know his mom.
He opened his bag, rummaged through it with his small hands, and pulled out a photo of him and his mom, handing it to Oscar.
Seeing Jessica, Oscar was stunned.
He stood there, as if petrified.
Trying hard to control his trembling heart, he squatted down and looked at Gilbert very seriously. "Boy, where did you get this photo? Can you tell me what your relationship is with the woman in it?"
"No, I need to see Mr. Walton first." Gilbert firmly stated his position.
This time, Oscar didn't hesitate any longer.
He immediately took Gilbert's small hand and quickly walked towards the elevator. "Alright, follow me. I'll take you to him right away."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Assistant!"
While going up the stairs, Oscar suddenly had a strong premonition.
Although it was just a photo and didn't prove anything, it could very well be photoshopped.
But he just felt that Jessica might still be alive.
If she was alive, then Gabriel...
Oscar didn't dare to think further.
He could only hurry to bring this little boy to see Gabriel.
Unfortunately, when they came out of the elevator, Gabriel had just called the department directors for a meeting.
So, Oscar decided to take Gilbert to the office first.
"Boy, Mr. Walton is in a meeting. You might have to wait a bit."
"It's okay, I have plenty of time. I can wait for him."
After saying that, Gilbert looked around the room.
Soon, his eyes fell on the photo frames on Gabriel's desk.
There were several photos, two of his mom alone, and one of his mom with Gabriel.
The person in the photo looked exactly like the one on his mom's phone.
So, he didn't mistake.
This "Gabriel" was indeed his and his brother's dad.
Feeling very nervous, Gilbert immediately sat down on the sofa and said, "Mr. Assistant, I'm a bit thirsty. Can I have a glass of water?"
"Sure."
Oscar quickly handed Gilbert a glass of water.
Gilbert drank it all in one go.
After finishing, he handed the glass back to Oscar. "Mr. Assistant, I'd like another glass."
"Sure."
When Oscar handed the second glass of water to Gilbert.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.
Hearing the sound, Gilbert immediately sat up straight on the sofa.
His soft little hands held the glass, and his bright eyes quickly looked towards the door, while he licked his pink lips.
All his actions showed his nervousness.
All these years, he had always wanted to meet his dad.
However, now that he was about to meet him, he was nervous.
At this moment, Gabriel, in a black trench coat, walked in with a tall and upright posture.
Seeing him, Gilbert's first impression was: 'Dad is so handsome, Dad is so tall! If he's this tall, he can definitely protect Mom, his brother, and him.'
Suddenly seeing a little boy in the office, Gabriel was also taken aback.
However, as he walked closer and saw the boy's face clearly, he was completely shocked.
The child in front of him looked so much like him when he was young.
Without thinking, Gabriel rushed over, grabbed his hand, and asked anxiously, "Boy, what's your name? Where's your mom?"
Although he knew he shouldn't have any illusions, his heart started to race when he saw this little boy.
That long-dormant heart seemed to come alive again, surging like a stormy sea when he thought of a certain possibility.
"Tell me, what's your name?" Seeing Gilbert not answering, Gabriel asked again urgently.
"Are you Gabriel Walton?" Gilbert met his gaze and asked in return.
"Yes, I am."
Gilbert looked at his hand, clearly indicating: let go of me first.
Gabriel understood the meaning in his eyes and immediately did so.
Only then did Gilbert speak, "I can answer your questions, but you have to answer mine first."
"Alright, ask me anything you want, I'll tell you everything," Gabriel responded excitedly.
"Do you love a woman named Jessica Morgan?" Gilbert immediately got into the mood and asked seriously.
"Yes, I love Jessica very much."
"If you love her, why did you abandon her?"
Abandon?
Gabriel's mind went blank for a moment.
When did he ever abandon his Jessica?
"No, never."
"Then why didn't you look for her in the five years she was gone? You're lying, you don't love her at all."
At this point, Gilbert was a bit angry. His pink face turned red.
All these years, his mom had been taking him and his brother to seek medical treatment alone, it was really tough and helpless.
Although Vincent would secretly help them, his mom always said Vincent had already helped them too much and they couldn't keep troubling him.
Moreover, Vincent had a special status. He could only spend a few days with them each year, the rest of the time they relied on video calls and phone calls.
When he was little, he didn't understand anything.
Later, as he grew older, people around him pointed fingers at him, saying he didn't have a dad.
Even his friends in kindergarten said that.
That was when he realized he was different from other kids.
He heard people say that if you only had a mom, it was mostly because the dad didn't want them due to his brother's heart condition and the high cost of treatment, so he abandoned them and their mom.
Every time he thought of this, he felt very sad.
This was also why he insisted on coming back to find his dad.
He wanted to ask him in person, why did he abandon them?
He also wanted to know if his dad had any regrets.
If it was all just a misunderstanding, he would acknowledge this dad and let him protect his mom and brother.
If he really abandoned them and their mom, then he would just meet him once, say nothing, and never reveal his identity.
Although Gilbert was only five, he had a lot on his mind.
Seeing Gabriel silent, Gilbert got even angrier.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
