Chapter 82: Shocking Facts
Jane hugged herself while still bending her head down. “I … I hope you won’t hate me. When Mommy wanted to come here, I didn’t want to come, but she was angry ….” Glancing at Rosalind, the little girl’s eyes were teary. “I didn’t want to hurt anyone ….” Her lips trembled. “I swear!”
It squeezed Rosalind’s heart to see how sad and hurt Jane was. “I know you are a good girl, sweetheart,” she said, trying to soothe the little girl.
“C-can you adopt me?”
Rosalind’s eyes widened to hear the plea. “Adopt you? But what about your mommy? Don’t you want to stay with her?”
The little girl’s legs nudged. “I …. I want to stay with Mommy, but she doesn’t want me ….”
“I’m sure it’s not true, Jane.”

You should have become Mrs. Da Costa right now.”She smiled and kissed his hand on her cheek. “It’s not your fault.” Then she stared at Gabriel. “Are you sure you still want to marry me?”“Of course!

He turned her body so they could stare into each other’s eyes. “Why did you do that?”“I was concerned about Jane. When I was with her, I found she had a scar on her upper arm. Jane denied it was a scar, but I knew what I saw.” Rosalind sighed. “Also,

Gabriel gazed at Rosalind for a while. “I’ll consider it, but if she’s not my daughter, of course we should plan it carefully. The law is on Lydia’s side. No matter how much you want Jane to be yours, you can’t take her away just like that.”“Even after Lydia abused her?” Rosalind protested.

Please!” She pleaded with him.“I’ll contact my lawyer to see if we can build a case. If the evidence is strong enough, maybe we can have Jane as our adoptive daughter.”“Promise?” she pleaded with him again.“I can’t promise you anything.” Her face was gloomy to hear that, but he later added, “But I will do anything I can to protect the little girl.”

Rosalind blew her breath. Being fired twice on the same day was devastating her. She even lost a bit of her confidence. Yet, it was a relief to know it had happened not because she was a lousy worker. Instead, it was because Gabriel worked behind the scenes to make her fired.“Baby, don’t be mad at me, okay?” he pleaded with her. “I wanted you badly, so I did what I thought was a way out. I’m sorry if I hurt you, but I’m not sorry that by doing it, I could have you.” He wrapped his arm around her waist. Then he stroked her cheek. “Don’t be mad, okay?” Rosalind still said nothing. It was in the past. No matter what had happened, she would still come to Gabriel and ask for his help. So finally, she let out a sigh. “Okay.”“Okay? You aren’t mad at me anymore?”“I’m still upset because the jobs were the only thing I got, but it’s already in the past ….” She took a deep breath. “Also, you were honest with me. It’s hard for me to know you did it, but again, you could sweep everything under

Calm down, baby.”She took a deep breath. “Before we can adopt her, I don’t think I can be calm …. After seeing the scar and hearing how mean Lydia was to Jane … I’m constantly worried about the little girl ….”“We will do anything we can. Meanwhile, you must calm yourself because stressing yourself isn’t good for our baby.” He pushed her back so her body bent forward. Then he pulled her until she sat on his lap. “Baby, remember what Doctor Gianni said. Don’t stress!”“I know ….” Rosalind pouted, but then she leaned her head on his chest. “Gabe?”

I want to talk to you.”The little girl followed what Gabriel said and sat next to him. Her hands grasped the hem of her dress as she was nervous. “Yes, Uncle Gabe. What do you want to talk about?”“Not Uncle!” Lydia snapped. It startled the little girl until she gasped and put her hand on her chest. “How many times do I need to tell you to call him Daddy?”“I-I ….” Jane gulped and nodded. “Yes, Daddy ….” Her hands frantically grasped her dress
