Chapter 472 Is Jessica Pregnant? 1
"Yes."
When she heard this response, Jessica was truly trembling with anger.
Because while making this call, Jessica had held onto a bit of hope.
After all, Grace had been with Quentin for so many years, and she had witnessed the most passionate moments of their relationship. Sometimes, she even felt that Quentin loved Grace.
Even if Quentin didn't deeply love Grace, Grace was at least special to him.
However, this answer completely shattered all her illusions.
Quentin was indeed ruthlessly heartless.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Taft, for giving Grace a way out."
After saying this, Jessica hung up the phone without hesitation.
On the other end, Quentin was left with his hands on the table, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
For so long, Quentin had tried many ways to find Grace.
But Grace seemed to have vanished, leaving almost no trace.
How could he possibly marry another woman now?
But if Grace still had any feelings for Quentin, even just a bit of resentment or unwillingness, she should have shown up.
But Quentin was wrong, he lost the bet.
A few days later, it was time for Gabriel's scheduled vasectomy.
Before he left, Jessica hugged him. "Honey, don't go!"
"What's wrong?"
"I already know your determination, and besides now..." Jessica lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear, "Condoms are quite effective, and surgeries always carry risks. I don't want you to take that risk."
Gabriel pinched Jessica's cheek and deliberately smiled. "Are you so afraid I'll fail?"
"Don't worry, I've checked. The success rate of the surgery is very high, and even if I get a vasectomy, it won't affect my life. Jessica, trust me, I'll still be great."
"You're shameless. I didn't mean that. I'm worried about your health."
Finally, Jessica simply hugged his waist and started to act spoiled. "I don't care, I won't let you go. You have to cancel the surgery."
"Don't want me to go?"
"Yes, you are not allowed to get a vasectomy. If you go, I'll be mad at you."
Gabriel nodded, "Okay, honey."
Since that day, Gabriel had become particularly busy, and it had been a whole month.
Often, Jessica was already asleep when he hadn't come back, and in the morning, he had already left when she woke up.
Gabriel and Jessica's communication was almost only on Facebook.
Even Freddy and Gilbert kept asking, "Mommy, I haven't seen Daddy for a long time."
Jessica, feeling just as wrong, "Don't even mention it, I haven't seen your dad for a long time either."
Gilbert propped his face with his hands and sighed. "Mommy, did you and Daddy fight, so you kicked him out and didn't let him sleep with us?"
Jessica was drinking water and suddenly burst out laughing at this comment.
She looked at Gilbert in disbelief. "Who said we fought?"
"Grandpa and Grandma do that. They never sleep together, and that's how it is on TV." Gilbert said.
Freddy added, "And also, my classmates in kindergarten say that when their parents fight, they don't talk for a long time."
Jessica was completely shocked by their thoughts.
She immediately made a video call, and Gabriel quickly answered, "Honey..."
"Mr. Walton, I'm telling you seriously, Gilbert is now spreading rumors that we fought, so we don't see each other. You judge for yourself."
"Okay, I'll come back and explain in person," Gabriel said.
Jessica didn't dare to hope, "Forget it, by the time you come back, they'll probably be asleep."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jessica suddenly realized something felt off.
The background in the video looked familiar.
Right, the background was their home.
How could the background be their home unless...
Turning around, Gabriel was already standing behind her, with a faint smile on his face, and his arms wide open.
Seeing this, Gilbert and Freddy shouted excitedly, "Daddy!" and then ran over.
Gabriel also ran towards them quickly.
However, just when Gilbert and Freddy thought they would be hugged by their dad, and excitedly shouted, "Daddy, you're finally back!" Gabriel suddenly ran past them.
Then Gabriel ran straight to Jessica and hugged her tightly.
Freddy was silent.
Gilbert was silent.
They stared blankly at Gabriel and Jessica hugging each other, then looked at their lonely selves.
Freddy, "Gilbert, did I see it wrong?"
Gilbert, "No, you didn't see it wrong. I saw it too."
Gilbert and Freddy looked at each other.
It wasn't until Gabriel and Jessica had hugged enough that he picked up Freddy and Gilbert.
Gabriel explained, "I didn't fight with your mom. I've just been very busy lately."
Then he turned to Jessica, "Has the hospital been busy? Can you take some time off soon?"
"Why take time off?"
"I've been working overtime for more than a month, and I'm almost done with what I need to do. When you get some time off, I'll take you on a trip."
"You've always liked the beach, right? We haven't taken our wedding photos yet. I'll take you to the beach for a photo shoot."
Jessica was happy and surprised to hear this.
"Really?" she asked excitedly.
"Of course."
Gilbert had already chosen a destination. "Daddy, I want to go to Dreamy Turquoise Sea. I read in a book that it's very beautiful."
Freddy also raised his hand. "Daddy, that sounds great. I want to go too."
At this moment, Gabriel looked at them. "I'm sorry to tell you, I plan to take wedding photos with your mom, so I don't intend to take you with us this time."
Freddy and Gilbert were silent.
"This time, I want to enjoy some alone time with your mom, but I promise you, when we get back, I'll take you to Disneyland."
With this promise, Gilbert and Freddy felt a bit comforted.
At night, after Gilbert and Freddy had fallen asleep, Jessica asked, "How come you suddenly so free?"
Gabriel hugged her, "You've had a hard time lately, working and taking care of Gilbert and Freddy. I'll have more time from now on. The company's affairs are progressing smoothly, and if nothing goes wrong, Jack will soon leave the board."
"Really?"
This was great news.
Without Jack's constant scheming, Gabriel's pressure would be greatly reduced.
Just as she finished speaking, Jessica suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her stomach, feeling quite uncomfortable.
She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Gabriel asked.
