Chapter 85: Promise Me Something
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. Her hand clenched as she was upset. “I’m sure Lydia abused Jane, physically and verbally. We must protect her, Gabe. 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

But she shook her head fast and squeezed his hand hard. “No, don’t do that! She may hurt Jane more. I don’t want the little one to get hurt. Please don’t do that, Gabe!”“Okay, okay. 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?”

Gabriel parked his car, a black sedan, at Cafe and Dine. He chose the simple car because he didn’t want to attract too much attention. The meeting place was a place he used to date Lydia.The place was an old cafe and restaurant, owned by a senior couple who disliked doing nothing in their retirement days. It was old but comfortable, and their food was superb.He walked inside. The old lady saw him and beamed.“Gabriel! I can’t believe my eyes! It’s been a while since the last time I saw you here!”Gabriel hugged the old lady. “Yes, Eugenia, it’s been a while. How are you?”“I’m good, despite my old bones cracking every time.” She grinned, showing her teeth. “Come, you must eat a lot.”

Jane glanced at Lydia with a fearful look, but her mother gave her a reassuring smile. “Go to Daddy Gabriel, darling.”When Gabriel saw how Jane was hesitant to approach him, he patted a seat next to him. “Come here, Jane. 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

Gabriel returned to the restaurant and found the laboratory staff was waiting for him. The staff nodded at Gabriel.“Good afternoon, Mr. Da Costa. I have taken a little of Jane’s hair and done a swab too. I need samples from you too.”“Sure.”The staff worked swiftly, and soon, he was finished. After putting the samples in a brown envelope and writing “Mr. Da Costa’s DNA Test”, the staff nodded at Gabriel. “The result will be an hour or two, as you asked for the fastest one. I’ll send the full report to your address and through your email too. Have a great day!” He nodded at Lydia, also smiled and waved at Jane. “Bye, Jane.”Jane waved back. “Bye, sir.”Gabriel reached out his hand and caressed Jane’s hair. “Are y

When Gabriel returned, he noticed how Jane wasn’t as happy as when he left earlier. He stared at Lydia to see her scowled at Jane.“What’s wrong?” He glanced at Jane. “Jane?”Lydia swiftly said, “It’s nothing.” Then dramatically she sighed. “As a single and poor mother, it’s hard for me to raise a child alone. I wonder if you can help me?”Gabriel raised his eyebrow. “Hmm?”“I saw how your fiancee interacted with Jane. She seemed like a good person. I wonder if you are interested in having Jane as your adopted daughter?”It was a surprise to hear it from Lydia, but Gabriel didn’t change his facial expression. “Really?&r

Rosalind shed tears to see how the little boy missed his mother. “Now, you must eat first, okay?”“Will you stay if I eat?”“Sweetheart—”Before Rosalind could finish her words, Maxwell interrupted her. “Sure, Son. Come, let Mommy spoon you your favorite food, okay?” Then he pleaded with her, “Please, Rosalind, help my son …. He’s the only one I have. I don’t want to lose him ….”Rosalind took a deep breath. Later, she nodded and took a plate of hot beef stew with potato and carrot. She spooned the stew and added a piece of potato, then blew the meal for a few seconds to make it colder. Maxwell helped his son to sit and puffed his pillow so the little boy could lean on it.“Open your mouth,” Rosalind said.

Maxwell rubbed her cheek and smiled. “Don’t be afraid of me, honey. I won’t hurt you.” He pushed her to a corner and blocked her body with her arms.“I need to go inside because Gabriel will arrive home soon. He won’t forgive you if he thinks you harm me.”Maxwell shrugged, but then he grinned and winked. “It’s even better.”“What?!”“If he thinks we have an affair, he will let you go.”Rosalind pushed his chest, but it’s useless as he stood like a giant rock. No matter how much she tried to push him, he didn’t move, even a bit. “Please, don’t do this to me …. I love him ….”“If he loves you too, he won’t misunderstand everything. But if he doesn’t, you deserve someone bette
