Chapter 289 You Said Wanted Me
Jessica's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a rush of excitement.
He kissed her repeatedly as she sat on the shoe cabinet, her head lowered. This angle and position were so strange, but Jessica's breath was completely disrupted by him. Pressed against the shoe cabinet, she heard him hoarsely ask over and over again.
"Do you want to go upstairs?"
"Do you want me to help you move your luggage tonight?"
"Do you want to live together? Hmm?"
Jessica's defenses were crumbling under his kisses. She raised her hand to hook around his neck and bit him fiercely. "Yes."
"What do you want?"
"I want you..."
She only managed to say three words before he abruptly silenced her with a deep kiss.
Suddenly, Gabriel lifted her off the shoe cabinet. The shoes she hadn't finished putting on fell off her feet and landed on the doormat by the door.
Jessica instinctively clung to his shoulders, afraid of falling, but Gabriel carried her horizontally, kissing her all the way to the sofa.
By noon, they finally left the house.
When she got into the car, Jessica leaned back, almost completely exhausted.
She had just been putting on her shoes, who would have thought that before she could finish, he would have his way to make love with her again. She felt like she was about to collapse last night, yet only a few hours later, he had completely worn her out again.
She probably wouldn't be able to look at that leather sofa on the thirty-first floor the same way again.
Gabriel opened the driver's side door and got in. Seeing her listless look, he smoothed her long hair and noticed her accusatory glance. He sighed with a smile. "You can't blame me; you asked for it."
Jessica didn't even have the energy to argue with him, but she couldn't help but weakly curse, "Total wolf in sheep's clothing!!"
Gabriel leaned over to help her with the seatbelt and kissed her in the process, "Only for you, darling. ."
Jessica was stunned.
She understood the unspoken half of his sentence.
Tonight they would make love aagain.
She raised her hand to push him away, but Gabriel kissed her again. "Still have the energy to fuss?"
Jessica's mind immediately sounded the alarm, and she stopped moving, but her eyes kept darting towards him. Seeing him start the engine, she thought for a moment and suddenly said, "It's almost afternoon already. Let's cancel the grocery shopping and movie plans. I'll have Caroline buy what we need later. As for the movie theater, I think I'd be recognized by fans even if I covered myself from head to toe. It's not very safe."
She would never admit that she was too exhausted from Gabriel's antics to have the energy for those plans.
"But I need to go to a jewelry store on the commercial street to buy some things. Let's go there first."
Gabriel saw that she had already made up her mind and didn't ask what she was going to buy. He just drove out of the parking lot.
When they arrived, Jessica wouldn't let him follow her. She mysteriously got out of the car and ran into the jewelry store, buying some things. When she came out, she was holding a small box and kept it hidden from him.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow at her secretive behavior. "I rarely have a free day to play chauffeur for you, but you hide what you bought from me?"
"Not showing you yet!" Jessica childishly moved the small box towards the car door.
Gabriel glanced at her, genuinely curious. "Let me see, what is it?"
"No! It's a secret for now!" Jessica moved the box completely out of his sight.
Gabriel was speechless.
That evening, Jessica didn't immediately pack her bags to move to the thirty-second floor. Instead, she gave Caroline a temporary day off and took Danielle's little hand to the thirty-second floor to mooch a meal.
One moment, Danielle was whining about missing the doll Gabriel had given her months ago,but the next, Jessica was taking her into the elevator.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Danielle asked, holding her doll in one hand and Jessica's hand in the other, looking up at her.
"Guess." Jessica poked Danielle's head and glanced at the doll in her arms. "I've bought you plenty of dolls, and Aunt Cynthia and Mackenzie have given you lots of dolls and toys recently. Why do you always hold onto this one?"
"Because Uncle Spencer gave it to me!"
"Sonny, so you love Uncle Spencer more and don't love Aunt Cynthia and Mackenzie?"
"No, no! That's not it!" Danielle was almost jumping in the elevator, but luckily it stopped at the next floor. As Jessica led her out, Danielle didn't notice where they were and said, "It's because I can see Aunt Cynthia and Mackenzie anytime I want! But I can't see Uncle Spencer whenever I want! Mommy, I miss Uncle Spencer so much."
"Is that so? How about I perform a magic trick and bring the person you want to see right in front of you?" Jessica smiled.
"Really?" Danielle's eyes widened with excitement, and she started jumping around Jessica's legs.
Jessica led Danielle to the door and rang the doorbell a few times, but there was no response.
Jessica was stunned.
They had just come back together from outside. Danielle had finished her kindergarten drawing assignment at home and was waiting for her. She had gone back to the thirty-first floor first.
Where could Gabriel have gone in such a short time?
She rang the doorbell a couple more times, but there was still no response.
"Mommy, whose house is this?" Danielle seemed to just realize that they hadn't left the building but had gone up a floor.
"This is..."
Jessica stood in front of the unmoving door, lost in thought.
Where did Gabriel go?
She was about to take out her phone to call him when she heard Gabriel's voice behind her. "I'm here."
Jessica instinctively turned around, and before she could react, Danielle had already jumped three feet high and rushed over. "Ah, Uncle Spencer!"
What caught Jessica off guard was that Gabriel was carrying groceries.
It looked like he had just been to the supermarket.
"Why are you standing there? Open the door." Gabriel smiled down at Danielle clinging to his leg, but with both hands full, he couldn't pick her up or open the door, so he gave Jessica a look.
He also recited a string of numbers.
Jessica's first instinct was that the numbers seemed familiar, and she instinctively turned to enter the code.
After the door opened, Danielle happily followed Gabriel inside. It was then that Jessica realized.
It was the last two digits of her birthday and the last two digits of Danielle's birthday.
