Chapter 434 Danielle Meets Gilbert and Freddy
It was Danielle's birthday.
Early in the morning, Charlotte instructed the cook to prepare a sumptuous lunch, all dishes that Danielle and Gabriel liked.
In recent years, since Jessica left, the Walton Manor had become much quieter.
Although Gabriel often came back, he had become much more silent, and the smile on his face had disappeared.
Danielle felt sorry for Gabriel, so she had also aged a lot.
As for Jonah, he had already moved back to the Walton Manor.
However, he and Danielle still lived separately.
One lived on the first floor, the other on the second floor, and they barely spoke to each other in a month.
Charlotte saw this and was anxious.
Although Jonah and Danielle had always been at odds, as someone who had served them for so long, she knew very well that Jonah and Danielle still had feelings for each other.
They just needed an opportunity to reconcile.
And Danielle's birthday was a great opportunity.
Time slowly flowed by.
Soon it was eleven o'clock, and Charlotte had already been in and out of the kitchen several times, confirming all the dishes over and over again.
Danielle smiled at her. "Look at you, it's my birthday, and you're more nervous than I am."
"Of course, Mrs. Walton, this birthday must be celebrated well to leave a memorable impression. Today's dishes are all ones you and Mr. Gabriel Walton like."
"Gabriel called me yesterday, saying he would come home to have dinner with me today. Why isn't he back yet?" Danielle asked.
Charlotte smiled and comforted her, "Mrs. Walton, Mr. Gabriel Walton has always kept his promises to you. He will come back. Don't worry."
"Okay." Danielle nodded.
Because of her birthday, she especially wore a dress.
A bright rose-red color, which would look very out of place on an average middle-aged person.
But on Danielle, it made her look particularly young and charming.
At this moment, Jonah slowly walked in from outside.
Seeing Danielle, he nervously patted his suit and tugged at his tie.
Thinking about his freshly groomed hair, he self-consciously adjusted it again.
After doing all this, he walked towards Danielle, handed her a delicate box, and said, "Happy birthday."
"Is this for me?" Danielle was very surprised by Jonah's gift.
"Yes, I thought you might like it." Jonah nodded.
Danielle was still a bit surprised. She took it and then casually placed it on the table beside her.
Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, Jonah said, "Are you not opening it? Or can I open it for you?"
Looking at him, Danielle's heart surged several times.
Finally, she nodded lightly. "Okay."
With her permission, Jonah smiled and opened the box, revealing the contents to Danielle. "It matches your skin very well. Look, do you like it?"
It was a pink pearl necklace, it was really beautiful, Danielle was captivated at first sight.
Natural pink pearls were very rare, not to mention have them strung into a necklace."Where did you get this? Such a necklace is hard to come by," Danielle asked.
"Do you like it?" Jonah persisted.
Danielle didn't respond.
Jonah seized the opportunity. "Then let me put it on for you."
Looking at him for a while, Danielle struggled internally.
At this moment, Charlotte walked over. "Mrs. Walton, these pink pearls are really beautiful, they match your skin perfectly. Didn't you say you had your eye on a necklace a while ago? In my opinion, Mr. Jonah Walton's gift is just what you wanted."
"Mrs. Walton, you should just accept it!"
Jonah added, "Yes, you'll look beautiful wearing it."
"Okay," Danielle finally responded softly.
Jonah immediately nodded, extremely happy. "Alright, I'll put it on for you."
With that, he moved behind Danielle.
Soon, the necklace was perfectly displayed around Danielle's neck.
Her skin was well-maintained, and despite her age, it looked very healthy. The pink pearls made it look even more radiant.
"You're so beautiful!" At this moment, Jonah gazed at Danielle and praised without hesitation.
"Don't think a necklace can win my heart," Returning to her previous cool demeanor, Danielle cleared her throat and said.
"No, I'm just happy you like it."
"Why hasn't Gabriel come back yet?" Danielle walked towards the dining table, changing the subject.
At this moment, a servant ran in quickly.
The servant almost bumped into Danielle, but Jonah quickly pulled her aside, shielding her.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Mr. Jonah Walton, Mrs. Danielle Walton, Mr. Gabriel Walton is back!" The servant said, wide-eyed and out of breath.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
"Gabriel was supposed to come back today, what's the big deal?"
"I saw Mrs. Jessica Walton, she's back too."
Danielle grabbed her arm excitedly and asked, "What did you just say? Jessica? Don't you know Jessica has passed away?"
"Mrs. Danielle Walton, I'm not lying to you, it's Mrs. Jessica Walton, I wouldn't mistake her."
"But how could someone who has passed away come back to life?" Danielle murmured.
Soon, she thought of Riley.
It had to be said, that Riley looked very much like Jessica.
With the right lighting and conditions, it could almost be mistaken for the real thing.
"She can't be Jessica, she just looks a bit like her, you made a mistake," Danielle said calmly.
In her heart, she was convinced that the "Mrs. Jessica Walton" the servant mentioned was Riley.
"Mom, I'm back!" At this moment, Gabriel's voice came from outside.
At the same time, his tall figure appeared in front of Danielle.
"You alone? The servant just said you brought someone back, where is she?" Danielle asked.
Gabriel walked closer, took Danielle's hand, and led her outside, saying, "Mom, today is your birthday, I want to give you a surprise, are you ready?"
"What surprise? Why so mysterious?"
Clearing his throat, Gabriel raised his voice and said loudly, "You can come out now!"
With that, Jessica walked out slowly.
"Jessica?" Looking at Jessica in front of her, Danielle murmured excitedly.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.
The Jessica in front of her, that familiar figure, that familiar gait, and that face, it was exactly as she remembered.
She wasn't Riley, she was Jessica!
