Chapter 94 Jessica, Step Aside
Her voice was soft, tender, and indeed very pleasing.
If it were a normal day, Gabriel would have taken Jessica's hand and gone home without a second thought.
But today, He thought that she was being friendly to him because of Vincent, even lowering herself and being so gentle, which ignited a fire of anger within him.
Jessica certainly knew about the anger in his heart, which was why she deliberately came forward to hold his hand.
She wanted to use the excuse of going home to lead him away.
Vincent had already helped her too much, especially today. If it weren't for his help, she might still be stuck on the mountain.
The wind howled, dark clouds swept in, and the whole mountain was as dark as night. Surrounded by graves, she must have been extremely frightened.
"Darling, my clothes are all wet. I'm so cold, and I'm also very tired. Let's go home!" Jessica softened her voice, her gentle tone as light as a feather.
This was clearly the "coquetry" that Gabriel had been anticipating for many days. Originally, he should have been very happy. But just the thought that she was coquettish with him for another man's sake made Gabriel's slight tenderness turn into an ice pillar, cold and without any warmth.
He stopped, with his cold eyes staring at Jessica. "Are you so eager to make me leave? Jessica, are you protecting him like this?"
Jessica pursed her lips, lowering her head in silence.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Gabriel became even angrier. He reached out and grabbed her arm, "Jessica, speak!"
Jessica raised her head, looked at Gabriel with her watery eyes, and coldly replied, "What do you want? Do you want to rush up and fight?"
"And what if I really had that thought?" Gabriel looked at her with gritted teeth.
Jessica replied firmly, "With me here, I will never allow you to harm him."
Although Gabriel was skilled, he would definitely not fare well against Vincent, a special police officer.
But whether Gabriel would hit Vincent was one thing. Whether she protected Vincent was another.
"Alright, very well, Jessica, you are indeed remarkable." Gabriel looked at her, and his voice almost gave him the feeling of wanting to strangle her.
His wife, at this moment, was protecting another man. And not just protecting, but fiercely defending another man.
How wonderful!
Gabriel now felt like his lungs were about to explode. For the first time in his life, he was so angry.
He clenched his fists, desperately trying to control himself. However, as soon as he thought of Jessica looking at Vincent with admiration in her eyes, he became insanely jealous.
In the end, Gabriel couldn't hold back. He lunged forward and grabbed Vincent's clothes, his clenched fist ready to strike.
"Gabriel, don't!" Jessica shouted loudly, rushing over without thinking. She stood directly in front of Vincent.
Gabriel's fist, which had been extended, suddenly stopped in front of Jessica.
His fist was very close to Jessica's face.
In other words, if he had acted a little faster, he would have hit her in the face.
"Jessica, move aside!" Gabriel's deep eyes stared at her, coldly commanding.
Jessica stood firmly in front of Vincent, straightening her back, her beautiful eyes meeting his firmly. "Put your hand down, and I'll move aside."
"What if I don't?"
"Then I won't move either."
Their eyes met, devoid of tenderness, only confrontation.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A minute later, Gabriel finally backed down.
He looked at Jessica. "I can let him go, I can also not lay a hand on him, but you must come back with me immediately."
"Okay." Jessica nodded, agreeing without hesitation.
As Gabriel's fist passed by Jessica's side and landed heavily on the pavilion, she was shocked.
She thought he would retract his fist, but he ended up venting his anger on the pavilion.
The pavilion was made of iron, extremely hard.
Gabriel's direct strike would definitely hurt his fist. She saw him frown when he retracted his fist.
Without thinking, she blurted out, "You...?"
Jessica looked at him, feeling a bit anxious, the words almost tumbling out of her mouth.
However, thinking about their current relationship, all her tension and worry were withdrawn.
Seeing her indifference, Gabriel felt extremely uncomfortable.
He reached out, tore off the jacket Jessica was wearing, and threw them to Vincent.
Then he embraced Jessica, opened his coat, and wrapped her tightly.
In an instant, Jessica smelled the familiar scent emanating from him.
Soon, they got into the car.
Gabriel placed Jessica in the back seat, exuding a chilling aura, with a dark and silent face.
Jessica spoke first, "Did you bring an umbrella when you came?"
"Why?" Gabriel asked impatiently.
"Gabriel, I know you're angry, but please don't be so petty. If it weren't for Vincent today, I might have been stuck on the mountain this whole time. Do you know what I would have encountered and how scared I would have been?
"He saved me several times. Logically and morally, you shouldn't lay a hand on him. I will go back with you, but I want to go give him an umbrella first."
"Do you think I would agree?" Gabriel raised an eyebrow at her.
At this moment, he instantly noticed that Jessica's top was almost see-through, with her bra faintly visible. The thought of her standing in front of him wearing Vincent's jacket made him insanely jealous.
"Is this how you stood in front of him just now?"
Jessica felt helpless.
She didn't understand what Gabriel wanted to say, furrowed her brows, and didn't respond.
Gabriel's profound eyes deepened even more, then he took off his coat and draped it over Jessica.
He was originally wearing a long trench coat that reached his knees due to his height, but now draped over Jessica, it almost reached her ankles.
"It's too long." Jessica frowned, not understanding what he was doing.
"His jacket is fine, but mine is too long, right?" Gabriel said discontentedly. "His jacket was still wet, mine is clean and tidy."
"I mean it's too long and it'll get dirty easily. Aren't you the one who hates it when others dirty your clothes?"
"Are you just some random person?"
Jessica fell silent, not saying anything.
After covering Jessica, Gabriel looked her over again, feeling uneasy.
"Give me your hand," Gabriel said.
"Why do you want me to give you my hand?"
Although Jessica didn't understand, she complied. Gabriel grabbed her wrist and helped Jessica put on the coat.
He felt it was unsafe to just drape his coat over her. What if it suddenly fell off? It was better for her to wear it.
In the end, Gabriel wrapped her up so tightly that Jessica felt like she couldn't breathe.
"It's just us in the car. Why are you wrapping me up so tightly?" Jessica frowned.
Gabriel replied impatiently, "Didn't you say I lack compassion and wanted to go down to give him an umbrella?"
