Chapter 417 Meeting the Two Babies 2
Gabriel was indeed feeling quite uncomfortable, but seeing the understanding of Gilbert, he instantly felt much better.
People often said that twins had very different personalities.
Freddy might have preferred being with Jessica and had a more sensitive nature.
Whereas Gilbert was more like him, more rational.
This was good, Gilbert and Freddy's personalities could complement each other.
He hugged Gilbert tightly and softly said, "Thank you, Gilbert, for comforting me. Daddy feels much better."
"And besides, how could I be mad at Freddy? It's my fault. I haven't come to see you for so long. Don't worry, from today on, I will make it up to you and Freddy."
"I can give you everything other dads can. Whether it's playing games or lifting you high, I will be even better than them."
After all, he's just a child. Hearing these words, Gilbert's eyes curved into a smile. "Really? Daddy, you have to keep your promise!"
"Yes, I will. I will never leave you again."
Soon, Gabriel and Gilbert started playing in the living room.
In the room.
Jessica held Freddy and patiently said, "I know, Freddy still loves your daddy very much and wants to play with him, right?"
Freddy pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Jessica continued, "You just feel that I've been struggling alone all these years and think your daddy should help me out, but he wasn't around. Your daddy didn't protect me, Gilbert, and you."
"You think you were abandoned by your daddy, so you're a bit sad. You don't hate your daddy, do you?"
After all, he's just a child. Jessica's words hit the mark, and Freddy immediately felt sad.
His eyes turned red, and he nodded vigorously. "Mommy, why didn't Daddy come to find us? Does he know that Gilbert and I have been waiting for him every day?"
This might be the thing that Freddy held a grudge about the most.
So as soon as he spoke, tears started to fall again.
Previously, no matter how much pain he was in during treatment, Freddy was very strong. Even if he was scared, he gritted his teeth and didn't cry.
But now, it was "Daddy" who made him sad.
Jessica hugged Freddy tightly and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Freddy. It was my fault. I let you down. You can't blame your daddy for this."
"Your daddy loves me very much, and he loves you and Gilbert too. He never abandoned us. It was just a misunderstanding between your daddy and me at that time, so I took you and Gilbert here."
"Your daddy never knew about you, so he didn't come to find you. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Hearing this, Freddy immediately looked up and asked softly, "Mommy, is that true? Daddy didn't abandon Gilbert and me?"
"Yes, I promise I'm not lying."
Jessica said, gently tapping Freddy's nose.
At this, Freddy quickly wiped away his tears.
"Then I won't blame him. "
Jessica immediately gave Freddy a thumbs up. "Great, Freddy is so magnanimous. But now, shouldn't you apologize to your daddy?"
"You just said you hated your daddy. Your daddy was sad to hear that, almost heartbroken!"
Jessica clutched her chest, making a pained expression, and Freddy quickly understood.
But he was still a bit shy.
"I'll go say sorry to him later!"
Jessica smiled and nodded. "Okay, that's my boy. I'm proud."
Seeing Jessica's smile, Freddy suddenly beckoned her over. "Mommy, come here!"
"Why, do you have a secret to tell me?"
"Mommy, come closer, a little closer," Freddy repeated.
This time, Jessica quickly leaned in.
As soon as she got close, she felt a soft, warm touch on her cheek. Freddy had quickly stolen a kiss.
At the same time, he held her head and whispered in her ear, "Dear Mommy, let me tell you a secret! Even if I have Daddy, my favorite will always be you. No one can replace you."
Jessica's eyes curved into a smile, and she kissed Freddy in return. "Thank you, my Freddy. When you grow up, you'll be a good man."
At this moment, Jessica's heart was warm hearing Freddy's innocent words, even though she knew that her position as his mother would eventually be replaced by his wife.
Compared to Gilbert, her Freddy was more sensitive, but also more delicate and warm-hearted.
"Of course, I love Mommy the most. I'm not Gilbert, he switched to Daddy's side in just a few days."
"Alright, Freddy, remember your words. If you switch to Daddy too, I'll punish you!"
After comforting Freddy, Jessica went out, leaving him some space.
In the living room, Gabriel and Gilbert were playing happily.
Seeing Jessica come out, Gabriel immediately walked over. "How's Freddy? Is he feeling better?"
"Much better. I'm sorry, Gabriel. It's my fault. Otherwise, Freddy wouldn't be so distant from you. Freddy is more sensitive, don't blame him!"
"What are you talking about?" Gabriel affectionately ruffled Jessica's hair. "Silly, he's our child. How could I blame him!"
"I just feel a bit guilty for missing out on their precious growing-up moments and all the wonderful times from their birth until now."
Jessica immediately hugged Gabriel tightly, resting her head on his chest. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. It's all my fault."
"Jessica," Gabriel looked at her seriously. "I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty. I just want to tell you that we've already missed a lot, so for the rest of our lives, we must cherish every moment and never miss out on any time with each other and the kids."
"Although it's a pity we missed out before, the future can make up for it. Understand?"
Nodding vigorously, Jessica replied firmly, "Yes, from now on, our family of four will reclaim all the happiness and joy we lost."
"Good." As soon as Gabriel finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.
Freddy stood at the door holding a toy, his clear eyes looking at Gabriel from afar.
