Chapter 410 Crazy Longing, Burning Passion 1
Gabriel's embrace was so gentle, so strong.
Jessica was covered in his scent.
Her heart was instantly wrapped in tenderness. At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to think about anything else, just wanted to enjoy this sweetness and longing.
Even if it was only for a moment, and then she and Gabriel would return to reality. But at least now, she wanted to let herself indulge once.
Time stood still. The living room became very quiet.
In the quiet embrace, they held each other tightly, greedily breathing in each other's scent.
They both missed each other deeply.
At this moment, any words to describe "missing" seemed too pale.
Only an embrace, almost embedded in their bodies and bones, could convey it.
Gabriel's fingers gently caressed Jessica's face, and his eyes were filled with longing and love.
"Jessica, you're so cruel! Five years, a whole five years, do you know how much I suffered? I always thought you were dead, that the babies died with you. I almost lost the will to live. I dreamed of you and the babies every night."
"But you were alive, why didn't you tell me? Why did you let me suffer and break down alone? Are you still blaming me for not being with you when you had the babies?"
Jessica shook her head vigorously.
Tears had already soaked her cheeks. "No, Gabriel, no, I didn't blame you."
She admitted, at the very beginning, when she was lying in the ambulance, on the operating table, especially when she heard the baby was at risk of suffocation, she blamed him, blamed him for not being able to be with her, to protect her.
But when she learned the whole truth from Vincent, all her blames were gone.
"Then why did you hide from me? Jessica, you're lying." Gabriel's fingertips lingered on her cheeks, caressing them obsessively over and over. His gaze was like a deep well, looking deeply at Jessica.
He wished he could draw every glance from her eyes and the essence of her soul into his heart as if it was the only way he could keep her by his side.
"Five years, you didn't give me a single message, Jessica, you were truly heartless, do you know that? Seeing you now, I'm conflicted," Gabriel looked at Jessica, speaking painfully.
"Conflicted about what?"
"Conflicted about my feelings for you, whether I love you more or hate you more. On the plane with Gilbert, my heart was always uneasy."
"You made me miss you madly for five years, but also made me heart-wrenchingly hurt for five years." As he said this, Gabriel's eyes were filled with pain and sorrow.
Jessica just looked into those eyes and felt extreme heartache.
She couldn't hold back anymore, breaking through all the inner conflicts.
She reached out, gently touching Gabriel's face. "I'm sorry, Gabriel, you're right, it's not your fault, I'm the one who was wrong."
"I'm the one who made you suffer for five years, so you should hate me for my silent departure and my hiding." As Jessica spoke, tears kept flowing down. Her heart was in such pain.
No one knew how she got through these five years.
Because of the baby's illness, she had been taking the two babies to various hospitals, just to find a suitable heart donor.
But finding a suitable heart for the baby was unimaginably difficult.
For five years, she had hoped again and again, only to be disappointed again and again.
But she could do nothing but tell herself over and over that she couldn't get sick.
If she got sick, what would happen to the babies?
As for Gabriel, This name had become a secret buried deep in her heart, an unbearable pain of life.
Only in the dead of night, when the two babies were asleep, at her most broken moments, would she take out the photo album on her phone.
She would cry and call his name over and over, looking at his pictures.
But he was already married and had a gentle and beautiful wife.
Her fake death had already broken his heart and made him suffer unbearably.
And when he had finally walked out of the shadows, out of the pain, and found his happiness. How could she bear to disturb him?
She still remembered seeing the "marriage certificate" photo he posted on Instagram, locking herself in the bathroom, and crying her heart out.
Afraid the babies would hear and be scared by her crying, she turned on the shower, crying madly under the cover of the sound of water.
That day, she cried almost the whole night.
The next day, her eyes were swollen like cherries, scaring the two babies.
It was also the day that she made up her mind to take good care of the babies, to truly say goodbye to the past.
"Gabriel, not disturbing you is my last act of kindness."
"Seeing you happy without me, I am relieved. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and the babies."
"Maybe one day, we will meet again, by then, I will be gray-haired, and you will have lost all your teeth. Anyway, you must live well," she whispered to herself in the mirror over and over.
It seemed like she was saying it to him, or herself.
So today's reunion was completely unexpected for Jessica.
Seeing him once, she was already very happy, very satisfied.
So, even if he hated her, she would accept it willingly.
But Gabriel gently held her face. "Jessica, before I came to see you, I thought I would hate and resent you, but now, seeing you, holding you, hearing your voice, I find that I have no resentment left."
"Jessica, I love you, even if there were a thousand grievances, they can't compare to my overwhelming love."
"Don't push me away again, okay?"
His gaze was so gentle, like water.
His voice was so low, so sexy.
Jessica admitted she was already madly immersed in it.
She knew she shouldn't be like this. But at this moment, she still wanted to indulge a little, to be selfish for just a few minutes.
"Okay." She parted her red lips and nodded.
Then, her clear, bright eyes gently lifted, looking at Gabriel with tenderness and deep affection.
At this moment, all the answers, all the longing, all the reluctance, and deep feelings were in those eyes.
Unable to hold back any longer, Gabriel cupped her face, his passionate lips pressing down with restraint and excitement.
