Chapter 582 The Photo is Restored
Tina instinctively grabbed Jessica's hand and then shielded her behind her.
The atmosphere in the elevator was agitated.
Because the baby was moving in her belly, Jessica's attention was on her belly and she hadn't noticed anything unusual. Jessica opened her mouth and just called out, "Tina."
Tina immediately squeezed her hand and smiled, "Jessica, let's talk about whatever it is once we get out."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.
Seeing that the man in the baseball cap didn't move, Tina quickly led Jessica around him and swiftly left.
It wasn't until they met up with the driver that Tina finally let out a sigh of relief, taking a deep breath.
"Tina, what's wrong? Why do you seem so tense?"
Tina waved her hand, "Nothing. Maybe it was just that the elevator ride felt a bit long and a little stifling. By the way, did you notice anything unusual just now?"
Jessica shook her head, "No, why do you ask?"
It wasn't until Jessica and Tina got into the car that Tina spoke up, "Do you remember the man in the black baseball cap? I noticed that he seemed to be following us all day."
Jessica thought back and suddenly realized, "Yeah, we ran into him several times just in the elevator."
Tina said, "So, this is not a coincidence. Since he's been following us repeatedly, he must have a purpose. Whether it's you or me he's after, we need to stay vigilant and be especially careful during this time."
In the evening.
As soon as Gabriel came back, Jessica told him about the unusual events of the day.
"Were you hurt?" he asked immediately, concerned.
"No, it's just that the guy was suspicious."
"I'll have Oscar look into it tomorrow. For now, don't worry too much. You just need to focus on eating well, drink well, and take care of yourself and the baby."
The next day, Jessica was taking a nap.
Gabriel suddenly came back, "Where's Jessica?"
"Mrs. Walton is resting upstairs."
Gabriel walked upstairs and checked the time; it was already past four in the afternoon.
He asked someone, "When did Mrs. Walton start sleeping?"
"A little before one, I think."
Calculating the time, Jessica had been sleeping for over three hours.
So, Gabriel decisively decided to wake her up.
He first reached out and touched her cheek, but it had little effect; Jessica was still sound asleep.
"You love to sleep."
Smiling indulgently, Gabriel reached out and pinched her cheek.
This time, Jessica finally showed some reaction.
But she just waved her hand and continued sleeping.
Gabriel leaned in and used the stubble that had grown on his face overnight to gently prick Jessica.
The new stubble, though short, was particularly rough.
Combined with Jessica's soft skin, it quickly spoiled her good mood.
"Who is it, always..."
Just as she opened her eyes in displeasure and was halfway through her sentence, she suddenly saw Gabriel.
Immediately, Jessica's face lit up with a smile.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Gabriel's neck, speaking in a soft, coquettish voice, "Honey, why are you back so early today?"
Because she had just woken up, her voice was soft and a bit confused, making her seem both adorable and endearing.
"Is this time still early?" Gabriel laughed, showing her his watch, and said, "Jessica, do you know you've been sleeping for almost four hours?"
Jessica rubbed her hair and cutely stuck out her pink tongue, "No way, I felt like I just took a little nap."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Gabriel's expression seemed a bit off.
Gabriel's desire seemed to be growing.
Thanks to her pregnancy and healthy diet, Jessica had become much more voluptuous in the later stages.
With this added fullness, every part of her body had developed significantly.
She didn't like to be constrained while sleeping, so she always took off her bra.
At that moment, Jessica's blend of laziness and allure was simply perfect. Plus, when she hugged him just now, her shoulder strap had slipped down quite a bit, adding to her seductive allure.
Gabriel had been trying to restrain himself.
Seeing her stick out her pink tongue, he couldn't hold back any longer.
Gabriel wrapped one arm around her soft waist, and his lips captured all her breath.
"Honey."
Jessica felt herself being seduced by his gaze.
With a soft moan, she leaned into him uncontrollably.
Her pink lips parted slightly as if waiting for his kiss.
It had been a long time since they had been intimate, and with the mood just right, they found themselves unable to resist.
Before long, Jessica felt weak all over.
She didn't even want to move a finger, just leaning against his chest, panting and breathing heavily.
Just as she started to catch her breath, her chin was lifted by his long fingers.
This time, his passion was even more intense and fervent.
Jessica could barely hold on; she felt like she was on the brink of breaking.
"Honey, I..."
In the end, her face was flushed, and her loose T-shirt was almost half off.
Suddenly, Gabriel bit her earlobe hard, his low voice murmuring, "I've been trying to control my desires lately. We'll have to wait until the baby is born before we can have sex."
"The last child, no more after this," Gabriel added.
Helping Jessica adjust her shirt, he picked out a dress for her from the closet.
"Honey, I want to wear something more casual."
"We need to go out for a bit," Gabriel said.
"Okay, then this dress."
While changing, she suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
There was no steam.
So he must have been taking a cold shower.
Jessica gently placed her hand on her belly, "Baby, do you think your dad looks cute right now?"
Gabriel came out, wearing a black shirt paired with gray pants.
Jessica wore a beige long dress. Although her belly was protruding, it only accentuated the mature allure and sensuality of a pregnant woman, so she was very satisfied.
They got into the car, with Oscar driving in the front.
She and Gabriel sat in the back.
After driving for about ten minutes, Jessica couldn't hold back any longer.
"Honey, where are you taking me?"
Gabriel took her hand and seriously said, "To an antique shop. The photo is almost restored."
Jessica immediately looked at him in disbelief, "Honey, do you mean that my mom and dad's photo is already restored? I can see my dad's face soon, right?"
Seeing her happy, Gabriel was also happy.
He nodded confidently, "Yes, the shop owner said it would be ready by six. We're arriving just in time."
"That's great! Thank you, honey, I'm so happy."
Overjoyed, Jessica hugged Gabriel and kissed him deeply, not even feeling shy with Oscar in the front.
At six o'clock, the car stopped right in front of the antique shop.
