Chapter 611 A Happy Family 2
"I am deeply saddened by Patricia's death, but it was truly an accident."
"If you need to blame someone, you can blame me," Jonah said firmly.
Hearing this, Jack suddenly looked up, his sharp eyes coldly piercing through.
"You're right, my mother was indeed killed by you, by your coldness, your indifference, your heartlessness."
"You probably never knew that she had attempted suicide several times, all to get your attention, hoping you would visit her. But you never did. You didn't care about her life."
"When you reconciled with Danielle, she completely lost hope and had no more attachment to this world, and so she committed suicide, leaving me forever."
Jack cried out in pain and sorrow, shouting in anger.
But Jonah couldn't give Jack the answer he wanted.
Because throughout his life, Jonah and Patricia had always felt like a mistake.
They had been entangled for so many years, it should have ended long ago.
But Jonah didn't expect it to end this way.
"Jonah, leave. Pretend you never had a son like me, and I never had a father like you. We will never see each other again in this life."
"Take care of yourself."
Leaving these final words, Jonah's weary figure turned and left with a heavy gait.
In the funeral parlor, Jack knelt on the ground, holding a photo and crying his heart out. "Mom, I have fulfilled your last wish. Even in your final moments, you were thinking of him."
"You said only this way could he let go of everything and start a new life. But he didn't care about your death at all. He seemed eager for it."
Outside the funeral parlor, these words reached Jonah's ears.
With a slight parting of his thin lips, Jonah softly said, "Patricia, thank you!"
As for Jack, Jonah did not explain.
Because Jonah knew that his relationship with Jack was also like a mistake.
Since that was the case, forgetting each other was the best way.
Letting Jack completely forget his existence, completely lose hope, Jack could then forget the past and truly move forward.
At that moment, all the love and hate, all the entanglements and grudges, came to an end.
The light rain of March was falling.
That day was Xavier's Memorial Day.
The family, dressed in black, walked towards the cemetery.
The ground was wet, but the rain suddenly stopped.
This time, their mood was no longer heavy and sorrowful.
Time had eased much of the sadness, but the memories would always remain in their hearts.
Gabriel held Stella in one arm and Jessica's hand in the other as they walked forward.
Freddy and Gilbert were held in the middle by Jonah and Danielle.
At the tombstone, Jessica placed a large bouquet and a big jug of wine in front.
"Grandpa, we came to see you!"
"We are all here today. Dad and Mom have reconciled, Gabriel and I are very much in love, and Freddy and Gilbert are growing fast, becoming more handsome by the day."
"And Stella, she is very cute. If you see her in heaven, you will surely love her."
Danielle also stepped forward. "Dad, Jessica is right. You can rest assured, our whole family is doing well."
"All your predictions have come true. We are very happy and will work together to carry on the Walton family legacy, ensuring your efforts were not in vain."
Freddy and Gilbert stood quietly along the side.
As they were leaving, Gabriel handed Stella to Jessica. "Honey, hold her for a moment. I have a few words to say to Grandpa. You all wait for me down there, I'll be quick."
"Okay."
After they had left for a few minutes, Gabriel stood in front of the grave.
"Grandpa, thank you. Thank you for choosing Jessica for me and for letting her marry me."
"If it weren't for her, I might never have experienced such profound, undying love, nor would I have Freddy, Gilbert, and Stella, such adorable children."
"Your choice was right. Back then, I was too young and reckless. I sincerely apologize to you here."
"Rest assured, I will cherish Jessica with my life, love her, protect her, and spoil her for a lifetime."
After saying this, Gabriel left.
At night, after the three children had fallen asleep, Jessica took a deep breath.
After her bath, as she stepped out of the bathroom, the wind from the balcony blew in, stirring the white curtains.
The moonlight cast a beautiful glow, making everything in front of her look stunning.
Jessica rarely had time to herself, and tonight, with the gentle night and soft breeze, she leisurely leaned on the balcony, enjoying the breeze.
Gabriel came in from another bathroom.
Seeing Jessica standing on the balcony in just a nightgown, he quietly walked over.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
As he spoke, he had already wrapped his arms around Jessica's slender waist.
His head rested intimately on her shoulder, his voice softer than the moonlight.
Jessica gently stroked his cheek and softly replied, "I'm looking at the cityscape. I used to envy others who had a home filled with warm light. Now, I finally have my light."
"Thinking of you and the kids, I feel especially happy and secure."
"What kind of happiness?"
Without much thought, Jessica answered, "It's like time is peaceful, and the days flow gently. Even the air feels sweet."
Gabriel held her tighter. "Want to hear mine?"
"Yeah."
"My happiness is hoping that every day when I wake up, you are by my side."
A very simple, very plain sentence.
But Jessica found it extremely romantic, filled with tenderness.
"One year, ten years, fifty years, when we are old, and Freddy, Gilbert, and Stella are no longer around, I can hold your hand and sleep with you, and see your face when I open my eyes. Jessica, that is my greatest happiness."
Jessica stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.
Her voice was equally gentle. "Gabriel, I used to be afraid of time passing too quickly, afraid of aging too fast. But now, with you, I'm not afraid."
"As long as I can grow old with you, everything is sweet and happy."
"Honey, I love you so much, more than ever."
Jessica confessed her love, then wrapped her arms around Gabriel's neck and drew him closer.
The next moment, a bold, heartfelt kiss landed tenderly on his lips.
This time, she took the initiative.
She was no longer shy.
His heart surged with excitement, and the next moment, Gabriel took the lead, carrying her to the bed in another room.
The night was filled with tenderness.
The fluttering curtains were beautiful and dreamy, and the couple hidden behind them, like a prince and princess, were lost in their passionate embrace.
