Chapter 90 He's Jealous, He's Envious
Jessica pushed him away, "We're not in the mood for a chat right now, calm down."
Gabriel not only didn't let go of her but held Jessica even tighter, "It's just us here, I think it's a perfect time for a chat."
"Gabriel, stop being unreasonable, let go of me, I'm really tired."
Jessica's words only fueled Gabriel's anger even more.
He was already holding back his frustration, and Jessica's words ignited it instantly.
"Am I being unreasonable?" he chuckled coldly, "Is it me being unreasonable, or is it that you simply don't care at all?"
"You can have a great time chatting and laughing with Vincent, but with me, you have nothing to say, right? Jessica, do you even remember your own status?"
Status?
He reminded her time and time again of her status.
But what about him?
When did he ever remember?
Jessica looked at him, coolly smiling, "Gabriel, you can't be so overbearing. You keep demanding that I remember my status, but what about you? When you were throwing a big birthday party for Diana, your first love, have you ever thought about the fact that you're already married? Do you ever consider your wife's feelings, my embarrassment, my grievances?"
That night, Jessica kept suppressing herself.
She tried desperately to hold back.
But when all the words in her heart flooded out like a torrent, she couldn't help but feel hurt.
She was just a fragile woman, and for him, she had compromised time and time again, even lowering her standards time and time again, but what did she get in return?
Not gratitude, not appreciation.
Just his "Give an inch, take a mile."
She blinked hard, forcing back the tears in her eyes.
"But have you ever thought that you haven't thought about anything at all? In your eyes, in your heart, in your mind, there's only her. To this day, I still don't understand why, if you love her so much, why do you insist on forcing yourself to maintain this marriage with me? Is it really just because of Xavier?"
"If that's the case, then let me tell you, you don't need to feel guilty, you don't need to blame yourself. I'll take the blame, I'll kneel in front of Xavier and tell him it's my fault, I want a divorce."
"So, Gabriel, that's it, we..."
The words "divorce" never left Jessica's lips.
Suddenly, Gabriel grabbed her chin and kissed her fiercely.
Jessica struggled and pushed him away, but Gabriel held her like a fortress, rendering her powerless.
"Let go...
"Let me go."
Jessica opened her lips and shouted.
But in doing so, she inadvertently gave him further opportunity.
"You... release... let go." Jessica struggled with all her might.
But it was all in vain.
Gabriel pinned her to the bed as if he had gone mad.
In the end, almost all her strength was drained, and Jessica could only let go, lying weakly by her side.
She didn't want to struggle anymore.
If he wanted it, so be it.
But such a kiss could only be described as a plunder, devoid of any emotion.
After what seemed like an eternity, Gabriel released her, breathing gently against her forehead.
He looked at her, his eyes deep and intense, "Jessica, take back those words you were about to say, I won't allow you to say them."
"Divorce?" Jessica said deliberately.
Upon hearing those words, Gabriel became even more furious, "Don't say it, you're not allowed to say it."
"I've said it before, from the moment I agreed to make things work with you, I never thought about divorce again, Jessica, from now on, I won't allow you to say those two words."
Jessica looked at him, her voice very calm.
"Gabriel, have you ever considered that I'm just a young lady, fresh out of college?
"The marriage I want is one where the prince and princess love each other, a romantic and loving marriage, not this lifeless, dull marriage without any spark.
"I had hopes, but you..."
She didn't want to say the rest of her words.
"I'm tired, I want to rest."
With that, Jessica pushed Gabriel away.
This time, Gabriel didn't stop her. He slowly released his grip on her wrist, letting go bit by bit.
After Jessica got up, she pulled back the covers, grabbed her clothes, and walked towards the door.
Gabriel's voice came from behind, "What are you doing?"
"Recently, I think it’s better for us to sleep separately. I'll sleep in the guest room."
Jessica was about to leave when Gabriel suddenly approached her, picked her up, placed her back on the bed, and tucked her in.
Before leaving, he planted a gentle kiss on Jessica's forehead, "Sleep, even if you want to sleep in the guest room, it should be me."
It wasn't until he left and closed the door that Jessica finally closed her eyes.
But her heart couldn't calm down no matter what.
Unable to resist the exhaustion, she soon fell asleep.
So, Jessica didn't know that while she was sleeping, Gabriel had entered the room.
To avoid disturbing her sleep, Gabriel walked in barefoot.
He sat on the carpet by the bed, his dark eyes looking at Jessica, softening at that moment.
"Jessica, do you know? What I want is very simple. Even if you just say you care, I'll be satisfied."
But she didn't, she resisted him so vehemently.
Every word and action seemed to be filled with disgust towards him.
She asked him, why not get a divorce? Just because of Xavier?
He wanted to say that at first, maybe, but now, it was no longer the case.
The thought of them parting ways, from being the closest of spouses to complete strangers, having no connection, no ties, made him utterly unwilling.
Especially the thought of her meeting other men, remarrying, and having children, made him insanely jealous.
"Don't, don't leave me!"
Suddenly, Jessica cried out.
Gabriel immediately looked over and turned on the wall lamp.
In the dim light, he could see Jessica with her eyes tightly closed, still asleep, but her long eyelashes were already wet with tears.
"Giselle, don't go, Giselle..."
Jessica cried and shouted.
Tears kept falling from her eyes.
It seemed that thinking of Giselle made her particularly sad.
She kept repeating, "Don't go, don't leave."
Gabriel reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. With a soothing voice, he comforted her gently, "Okay, I won't leave, I won't leave."
"Jessica, be good, Jessica, sleep well. I promise you, no matter what happens, I won't leave."
His hand was strong and warm.
Coupled with Gabriel's comforting voice, Jessica finally calmed down.
She stopped crying and fell asleep peacefully.
When she woke up in the morning, Jessica immediately looked to her sides.
