Chapter 78 What am I to you in your heart?
He rarely called her name so affectionately, and he rarely apologized like this.
Jessica admitted that her heart was swayed.
Especially when he held her, gently touched her earlobe, his voice soft and tender, in a very affectionate manner, her heart truly melted.
Jessica closed her eyes, silently scolding herself for being so weak.
‘It was just a moment of tenderness, why did it bewitch you so completely?
‘Have you forgotten everything that happened before?
‘Jessica, oh Jessica, can't you be more assertive?’
"Gabriel, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"What am I to you in your heart?"
"My wife," Gabriel said.
Although it was such a firm and affectionate answer, why did Jessica feel so heartbroken upon hearing it?
Her heart ached, a wave of bitterness surged, and Jessica forced a smile, "Thank you for your answer, but do you really consider me as your wife? Or just a wife on paper?"
"Gabriel, I am a person, with thoughts, dignity, likes and dislikes, capable of feeling joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. I can feel pain, and cry; I am not a god, just an ordinary person. Please don't see me as such.
"I’m not strong enough to share a man with other women, pretending to be indifferent. I didn't ask for your love to be perfect, not even eighty percent, but at least you shouldn't hurt me over and over again.
"I am not your pet. Do you think a few sweet words can make me forgive you?"
After Jessica finished speaking, Gabriel held her tighter.
His arms tightly around her slender waist, head resting on her neck, breathing heavily.
Both remained silent, the bedroom suddenly became very quiet.
Jessica was tired, mentally and physically exhausted.
"Let me go, I want to get up." Finally, Jessica spoke.
Gabriel still held her in his arms, this time, he looked at Jessica with his dark eyes, very serious: "Since last night, I have been thinking about how to make you forgive me."
"I know I hurt you, made you uncomfortable, and sad. I know I was wrong yesterday."
"Stop." Jessica covered her ears, she didn't want to listen.
Not at all.
He knew she was soft-hearted, as long as she listened, she would definitely forgive him, right?
"Stop, Gabriel, I told you to stop." Gabriel grabbed her ear, still insisting. "Jessica, I'm not asking for your forgiveness, but at least let me finish, okay?"
"I admit, I married you because of Xavier's pressure at first, I also admit that after Diana came back, I did consider divorcing you, but after Xavier's death, since I promised not to divorce you, I decided to be with you for a lifetime and to accompany you for a lifetime."
"I never thought of divorce, never thought of leaving you to be with Diana again.
"Really, Jessica, everything I said is true.”
With this last sentence, he whispered in her ear, unbelievably gentle.
"Since I married you, from now on, you are my only wife."
Jessica closed her eyes, feeling the warm breath swirling around her ear.
The temperature was so high that her small ears instantly turned red.
Jessica even wondered how he could change so much overnight.
She had already decided that no matter what he said or did, she wouldn't easily forgive him.
But under his rounds of tender attacks, her heart softened irreversibly.
What should she do? She couldn't hold on anymore.
Her heart, though hard, when it met him, that hard shell had long been shattered, leaving only softness.
"Gabriel, are you deliberately saying this? You know I'm soft-hearted, so you deliberately say these words to move me."
"Yes." Gabriel nodded.
Jessica's heart instantly cooled at his words.
But the next moment, Gabriel held her tighter, "I wanted you to forgive me, but every word I said is true."
Jessica blinked hard, not wanting to be moved, not wanting to cry at this moment.
"Stop talking, let me have a moment of peace."
"Okay."
‘’Did he agree to be quiet?
But when did his hand stroke her waist?
Feeling the touch of his fingertips, Jessica trembled lightly all over.
Especially when the warmth of his fingertips spread, Jessica felt her skin also heated by his provocation.
"Gabriel, you are not keeping your word." Jessica dodged.
Gabriel's hand continued to gently caress, his deep voice in her ear, "I didn't speak, I just wanted you to calm down, Jessica, you were the one who spoke first."
Jessica was speechless.
This man?
When did he become so good at sophistry?
Is this still the Gabriel she knew?
In fact, Gabriel himself was starting to feel unfamiliar, almost never having comforted others in his life, always being the one comforted.
Even during the years with Diana, they had arguments, but he never comforted her.
It seemed like every time Diana healed herself and came back to him.
But with Jessica, he found it to be completely different.
Last night, when he learned about her experience at the mall and realized his misunderstanding of her, he wanted to use all his tricks to comfort her.
He didn't know what he was doing.
But there was a feeling in his heart as if he was increasingly afraid of losing her.
Thinking of the man she had loved for ten years, Gabriel felt troubled.
In a turn, he directly pushed Jessica down and kissed her.
Unlike before, this time, his kiss was extremely gentle, Jessica reached out to resist but was completely melted by him.
She blinked, unable to understand how he could become so gentle overnight.
So genuinely gentle.
Completely immersed in his tenderness, she seemed to forget all the pain that had happened before.
"Jessica, Jessica...!" He called her name over and over again, each time full of tenderness, extremely gentle.
Under his tender attack, Jessica truly had no resistance left.
She gave up resisting, allowing herself to be immersed in the ocean of him.
When emotions ran deep, Jessica closed her eyes, letting tears flow freely.
Gabriel leaned down, gently kissing away the tears on her face.
When she fell in love with him, she had always imagined embracing and kissing each other one day. A Day she had been looking forward to.
She had been waiting and waiting, but never expected it to come at this moment.
Suddenly, feeling something, Jessica grabbed Gabriel's hand, gently shaking her head, "Gabriel, no."
