Chapter 569 Jessica, I'm Back
After waiting for several hours, fortunately, Gabriel managed to buy a plane ticket that a customer had temporarily returned.
When he boarded the plane, his wound was still throbbing with pain.
However, he didn't feel any pain at all; he was extremely thrilled.
The thought of soon seeing Jessica, Freddy, and Gilbert made his heart race uncontrollably.
On the other side, Vincent had just finished having dinner with Jessica, Freddy, and Gilbert.
After a long time apart, both Gilbert and Freddy were very excited to see Jessica.
So, Jessica took them to their favorite restaurant.
Vincent, worried about Jessica's safety due to her large belly, offered to take them.
During the meal, Freddy and Gilbert were very happy.
Jessica, watching them, also felt warm inside.
But she always felt like something was missing, an emptiness in her heart.
Whenever the wind blew, it felt like a cold breeze was sweeping through her chest, making it particularly painful.
Vincent knew this all too well.
He opened his mouth, ready to tell her that Gabriel was coming back.
But then, he held back.
This kind of surprise should be delivered by Gabriel himself.
After dropping them off, Jessica felt a bit tired and went upstairs for a nap.
Before leaving, Vincent picked up Freddy and Gilbert. "I want to ask you a question. Can you tell me the truth?"
"Okay," Gilbert and Freddy nodded in unison.
"You haven't seen your dad for a long time. Do you miss him?"
Surprisingly, neither Gilbert nor Freddy immediately responded.
Instead, they looked at each other.
Finally, Gilbert spoke first, "Mr. Lucas, secretly telling you, Freddy and I miss Dad very much. We hope every day that Dad can come back to be with us, even in our dreams."
"But Mr. Lucas, you have to keep it a secret and not tell Mommy!"
Vincent immediately understood and looked at them with pity. "You are afraid that your mom will feel sad if she knows, so you want me to keep it a secret, right?"
"Mr. Lucas is so smart. Mommy misses Dad more than we do, and we don't want to make her sad."
"Okay, then I'll tell you a secret too. Your dad is coming back today."
Gilbert and Freddy were stunned.
After a while, Freddy widened his eyes and asked incredulously, "Mr. Lucas, are you serious? Is Dad coming back?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"
"But it's been so long. Is Dad coming back?" Freddy and Gilbert both found it surprisingly unbelievable.
Although they were full of anticipation, they didn't dare to believe it.
They were really afraid of having their hopes dashed.
"I know you don't believe it, but I promise, your dad will come back today."
"How about we make a bet?"
Gilbert asked, "What are we betting on?"
"If I win, you treat me to a meal, okay?"
"Okay."
After Vincent left, Freddy and Gilbert played in the living room.
After a while, Jessica called them upstairs to sleep.
Gilbert and Freddy said in unison that they weren't tired and wanted to play games downstairs.
They were hiding their little thoughts.
Vincent said Gabriel would come back today. Although they didn't quite believe it, they had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
So, they chose to wait downstairs.
Until today, they would keep waiting for Dad.
What if Gabriel came back?
After leaving the airport, Gabriel headed straight home.
As soon as Gabriel reached the door, the servants were stunned to see him.
But soon, smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and they happily shouted, "Mr. Walton, you're not dead? You're back, that's great."
Hearing the commotion, Gilbert and Freddy immediately put down their toys and ran to the door.
When they saw Gabriel's familiar face, Gilbert and Freddy suddenly stopped.
"Gilbert, I see Dad?" Freddy stared at Gabriel, dumbfounded, and asked Gilbert.
"Freddy, I see Dad too." Gilbert was also stunned.
"Gilbert, am I seeing things, or am I hallucinating?"
Gilbert replied, "You're not. Mr. Lucas was right. Dad came back."
At this moment, Gabriel opened his arms and excitedly shouted, "Freddy, Gilbert!"
Such a familiar, familiar voice.
It must be Dad.
There was no mistake.
Immediately, Gilbert and Freddy ran over.
Gabriel opened his arms and hugged them tightly.
Then he lowered his head and kissed Gilbert and Freddy's cheeks hard.
"Gilbert, Freddy, I'm back. I'm sorry, I broke my promise and came back late."
Gilbert and Freddy felt a bit unreal.
They reached out, each with a small hand, and rubbed Gabriel's cheeks, trying hard to confirm his reality.
After rubbing for a while, Freddy seriously announced, "Gilbert, it's true. Dad didn't die. Dad came back to find us."
"Dad."
Then, Gilbert and Freddy hugged him tightly.
After that, Gilbert and Freddy kept crying, their warm tears streaming down Gabriel's neck and finally sliding into his chest.
It was wet, but Gabriel felt completely comfortable and full of happiness. Perhaps he missed them too much, or maybe he was just too excited.
Gilbert and Freddy hugged Gabriel tightly, their little hands unwilling to let go.
"Dad, is it you?"
Even though Gabriel was holding him, Freddy still lacked a sense of security.
Gabriel gently rubbed their heads and kissed Gilbert and Freddy's cheeks again, firmly saying, "It's me. I'm sorry I made you sad."
"I promise, I won't leave you for so long again."
"Okay, then Dad, you have to keep your word."
Gabriel cooperated and made a pinky promise with them, making Gilbert and Freddy feel a bit more at ease.
"Where's your mom?" After comforting Gilbert and Freddy, he asked about Jessica.
Gilbert pointed upstairs. "Mommy is taking a nap upstairs. The baby seems to be very naughty and keeps kicking Mommy."
Gabriel gently put them down and said, "You play here. Your mom misses me too. I need to go see her, okay?"
"Okay," Gilbert and Freddy generously said, "Dad, go quickly. Mommy will be very happy to see you."
As he went upstairs, Gabriel felt nervous and uneasy with every step.
He was unsure how Jessica would react when they met this time.
Would she be happy?
Or would she be angry, angry that he almost married Celia?
At the door, he could no longer contain his emotions.
He pushed the door open and ran inside.
Jessica had just woken up and was about to go downstairs.
When she saw Gabriel push the door open and stand in front of her, softly calling her name, she was suddenly stunned.
"Jessica, it's me, Gabriel. I'm back!"
