Chapter 476 Dragging Someone Away 1
Gabriel knew that Jessica had already made a concession.
But he was still worried.
And if things didn't go well in the third trimester, she would suffer even more.
"Fool, why choose the hardest path? If the baby grows up, do you know how much pain you'll be in?"
Jessica nodded with tears in her eyes, "I know."
"But I really can't bear it." She reached out to touch her belly, "Whether you believe it or not, I can already feel the baby moving gently inside me, like a little fish."
"Honey, I know your fears and worries, but please give me and our baby confidence, okay? If we try our best but the result is still not good, at least we won't have any regrets."
This time, Gabriel was persuaded.
He also knew that concessions had to be made.
"Okay, I promise you. But honey, you have to promise me, if things go bad, no matter when, you must prioritize your health."
"Okay!"
That night, Gabriel and Jessica fell asleep in each other's arms.
When they woke up, the sun was shining brightly.
Jessica nestled in his arms, feeling especially comfortable and happy.
As for the wedding photoshoot, it was postponed because of Jessica's pregnancy.
In the evening, Gabriel was working late, so they didn't wait for him to have dinner together.
While eating, a servant rushed in with a panicked expression, "Mrs. Danielle Walton, Patricia is here, insisting on seeing you and Mr. Jonah Walton."
Danielle continued to eat calmly.
"Not seeing her," she replied decisively.
Jessica truly admired her mother-in-law's composure.
"But Patricia is outside crying hysterically, like she's gone mad, saying she won't leave until she sees you."
Danielle remained calm, "Ignore Patricia. Let her stand as long as she wants."
With Danielle's response, the servant quickly left.
But soon after, the servant rushed back in.
This time, she looked at Jonah, "Mr. Jonah Walton, she says she wants to see you."
Danielle looked over coldly, "She knows how to pick her targets. Can't get through me, so she switches to someone else immediately."
Danielle continued eating without changing her expression, "Tell her, today I won't let Patricia through this door. She can try all she wants, but it won't work, no matter who she begs."
"Yes, Mrs. Danielle Walton, I'll go now."
With that, it was unclear whether Patricia gave up or found another way.
In any case, it was much quieter during dinner.
But the sky outside suddenly darkened.
A strong wind blew, and even thunder rumbled from the horizon.
The weather changed so quickly.
At six in the afternoon, the sky was still glowing with beautiful colors, like a vibrant painting.
It had been a clear day, but suddenly, it was about to pour.
For some reason, Jessica had a vague sense of foreboding.
Patricia was tough to deal with and didn't give up easily.
At that moment, was Jessica relieved or worried by Patricia's silence?
Sure enough, just as dinner was about to end.
A servant rushed in, panting, "Mrs. Danielle Walton, there's a problem, Patricia, she..."
Danielle put down her fork and raised her voice, "What could be so alarming?"
The servant took a few deep breaths to calm down before speaking, "Mrs. Danielle Walton, Patricia is banging on the door!"
Hearing this, Jessica felt a jolt in her chest.
The door of the Walton Manor was a gilded iron gate, it was unimaginable. If she hit her head on it, the consequences would be dire.
In contrast, Danielle remained calm and unflustered.
Danielle merely raised an eyebrow and instructed, "If it's a minor injury, let Patricia bang as long as she wants. Tell her, the Walton family won't send a doctor to bandage her wounds. But if it's serious and life-threatening, don't come to me, just call 911."
"Whether she survives or not is up to her fate."
By now, the sky had grown even darker.
The whole sky seemed to be covered by a thick, dark blanket, blocking out any light.
The wind howled, and the leaves rustled.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck.
Followed by a second, and a third.
The entire sky roared deafeningly.
The servant hesitated but spoke up, "Mrs. Danielle Walton, Patricia has been banging on the door with all her might. Her forehead is bleeding a lot, but she definitely won't die."
"But I think it's about to rain heavily. If she bangs on the door all night with her forehead bleeding, and if this scene is captured, I'm afraid it won't be good for you."
This concern was indeed valid.
Another thunderclap boomed.
Gilbert was brave and still sat steadily in his chair.
But Freddy was a bit scared, so he covered his ears and jumped into Jessica's arms, "Mommy, the thunder is so loud, when is Daddy coming back?"
Jessica knew Freddy was scared, so she asked when Gabriel would be back.
Jessica picked up Freddy, ready to take him upstairs. Since Patricia was here, this matter wouldn't be resolved quickly. Jonah and Danielle probably had a lot to discuss, and she wanted to give them some space.
And since Freddy was scared, she should indeed go upstairs.
"Jessica, if you're full, take Freddy and Gilbert upstairs," Danielle said.
Jessica nodded, "Okay, Mom, I'll take them up now."
After Jessica and the kids went upstairs, Danielle looked at the servant, "Is Patricia still banging?"
Although it was a question, her tone was affirmative.
"Yes, Mrs. Walton."
Danielle looked at Jonah, "I've already said how to handle it. If you have any objections, you can..."
Unexpectedly, before she could finish, Jonah spoke, "I have no objections."
His voice was firm and decisive.
He was equally resolute, without a trace of hesitation.
Danielle was stunned, seemingly not expecting Jonah to respond so quickly and decisively.
"Do you not feel sorry for her?"
Jonah shook his head, "I never loved Patricia. If I ever did, it was only a moment of pity when I found out she was pregnant, but that has long been exhausted."
"I agree with your approach. And from now on, you can handle her matters yourself, no need to ask me or inform me."
Danielle nodded and looked at the servant, "You're right, it's about to rain heavily. If this scene is captured and used against us, it would be detrimental to the Walton family."
"Find someone now and drag Patricia out of here."
