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

    Maxwell still stood there for a few minutes until Gabriel and Rosalind were out of his sight. He sighed and shook his head before he took a leave. Gabriel who spied what happened from the lobby kept frowning. “Gabe, nothing happened between Maxwell and me,” Rosalind tried to explain. “I only visited Axel, Maxwell’s son, because he contacted me as he was ill. That’s all.” Rosalind’s voice was low, and she was afraid he would be mad at her. “Later, Maxwell sent me home because I insisted on ordering a taxi.”“I know, baby. No need to explain it to me.”She let out a long sigh, too relieved to hear it. “But then, why do you keep frowning?” She tried to smooth his creased forehead. “Come on. Smile, love. Please?”He stared at her, and finally, smiling. His dimple was shown on his left cheek, making him look younger and more handsome. “Anything for you, baby.” Then he kissed her lips.They only stopped kissing when they heard a few giggles. A few people who passed the lobby saw the couple

They were curious why Lydia could come up with the idea to claim Gabriel as Jane’s father, as they eventually would find the truth.Rosalind was excited about the picnic. Since they wanted to prepare the garden, Gabriel decided not to pick up Jane by himself. So he asked Luca instead. However, he called Lydia to inform her about it.“Hello, Lydia, I’ll ask my driver to fetch Jane here. Is she ready yet?” he asked.“Yes, sure, she’s ready. I’ll ensure Jane will wait for your driver.” Then Lydia asked, “About the money?”“I’ll see how Jane interacted with

    Jane was busy picking a small portion from all the dishes. Rosalind kept smiling to see how eager Jane was to try everything. She took an empty plate and followed what Jane did.That’s when Gabriel showed up and shook his head. “My, my. If I don’t know better, I’d have thought you two were war refugees.”Rosalind and Jane glanced at each other. Their laughter broke a second later.Gabriel grinned and joined them. “I’m famished!”“What do you want to eat? Do you want me to pick anything for you?” Rosalind lifted a brow.“How about a little from everything?”Jane chuckled and shook her head. “Miss Rosalind told me to do the same!”

    So they ate their meals, talked, and laughed together. After finishing the main dishes, Rosalind offered the desserts to Jane, but the little girl shook her head.“I’m too full, Mom.” She rubbed her rounder belly because she ate so much. “I can’t eat more.” Then she lay on the grass and closed her eyes. She soon snored.Rosalind and Gabriel exchanged glances again and smiled to see how carefree their little girl was. She was glad they would adopt Jane. To see a seven-year-old girl choose them as her parents was overwhelming, as they were new people to her. But then, it might be fate as they could love Jane instantly, although she wasn’t any blood related to Gabriel or Rosalind.Touching Jane’s cheek tenderly, Rosalind glanced at Gabriel. “Maybe it’s better you carry her inside, love? She will rest

She caressed Jane’s hair and looked deep into her eyes. “Sweety, I will count the days until you will be with us again. Let’s hope it’ll come soon.”Jane said nothing as tears already fell from her eyes. She could only nod and hug the older woman. Gabriel was already at the door. He pressed the bell button and waited for Lydia to come.After a while, Lydia opened the door. She smiled as she saw Gabriel, but it faded soon when she glanced at Rosalind and Jane. “Oh, you’re here.” Then she yelled at Jane, “Say thank you to Daddy Gabriel!”“Yes, Mommy.” The little one hugge

I need you to send an agreement letter to Lydia Robinson tomorrow morning that she’ll release all her rights as Jane’s mother. Please also state that Lydia won’t meet Jane nor me again in the future.”“Right, I’ll create a draft soon. Has she agreed to that?”“Yes, she agreed to that.

Luca placed the luggage in the baggage, then went back to the car and waited for Gabriel before they could return to the WLS. Gabriel approached Lydia and nodded. “Everything is done. I hope you won’t contact Jane or me again.” He took a deep breath. “Thank you for the past. You were a part of my life back then. I’m leaving now.”Lydia said nothing. She could only stare at Gabriel’s back until he entered the car. After a while, the car left the area. She clenched her fist and shook her head. A smile spread across her face. “It’s not over yet. You will be mine soon, love.”The first day Jane stayed with Gabriel and Rosalind was exciting. They were busy preparing the little girl’s room. Gabriel wanted to hire an interior designer, but Rosalind and Jane refused it because they wanted to decorate the room by

    Rosalind rushed to check from aisle to aisle. When she finally saw Jane stare at a small table, she let out a relieved sigh. “Sweety, next time you must tell Mom first if you want to wander to the shop, okay?”“Yes, Mom.” Jane nodded. “I’m sorry because too excited to see many things in the shop. I forgot it was a huge shop.”Rosalind smiled and shook her head. “It’s okay. I was excited too when we first came. Now, let’s go home, sweetheart.”They walked hand in hand to the car.

Otherwise, you will meet your Creator today.” The guy picked a knife and drew the knife in Luca’s direction. “Easy, man. We can talk abo

Later, Gabriel straightened his back and smiled as if he didn’t shed his tears for the woman he loved. Doctor Gianni then walked out of the VVIP room. He smiled to see the Da Costa family. First, he shook hands with Leonardo, Anna, Bianca, then he smiled at the youngsters. “Gabriel, you can go inside to see Rosalind and the baby,” the doctor said. “Both are healthy. Congratulations to your new son!”Gabriel shook hands with Doctor Gianni. “Thank you so much, Doctor. I don’t know what I have to say.”The doctor patted Gabriel’s shoulder. “Go inside. Rosalind is waiting for you.”When Gabriel entered the room, the nurse was still wiping and cleaning their baby. So, he approached Rosalind first and kissed her sweaty forehead. “Thank you, baby.

Rosalind’s water has been broken!”Anna was excited but also worried because it was a week faster than the doctor’s prediction. When she delivered Gabriel and Bianca, those two times were even past the due dates. Bianca delivered Jeremy and Isabella passed the due dates too, but with Antonio, the delivery was faster by only two days.Gabriel’s mother frowned as she recalled her memory about hers and Bianca’s giving birth.“Okay, I’ll come to the hospital right away. I’ll call your grandpa and Bianca too.”“Yes, Mom. I’m nervous now. Rosalind asked me to wait outside while I wanted to accompany her.”

    Gabriel shook his head again. “No, you just try to get away from the consequences of what you have done, not because you are truly repentant. It’s the punishment that scares you, not the hideous effect of what you have done to Rosalind and Jane. You are a hopeless case! The jail will help you to realize what you have done.”“You will send me to jail?!” Gregory’s voice pitched higher.“Yes.”“Then, go ahead!” Gregory spat to the ground. “I’m not scared!”Gabriel smirked and looked into Gregory’s eyes. “We’ll see. Once you are inside, you’ll shout to ask them to let you die.” Then, he straightened his back. “I’m the man of my word. Since I alr

As he had been working with Gabriel for twenty years, he knew his boss would do harsh things to Richard. Yet, what Richard did was too much. So he could understand Gabriel’s mood. So Pietro cleared his throat. “Boss, what will you do?”Gabriel only grinned to hear that and removed his tie and opened his button shirt one by one. He even took his time to fold the shirt and tie neatly, then put them on a table. Later, he took his phone from his trouser pocket, pressed some buttons, and put the phone on the table next to his shirt and tie. Pietro gulped again. It reminded him when Gabriel was in his late twenties or early thirties. It was the time when he dealt with someone who betrayed him. “Boss, remember Mrs. Rosalind and little Jane? You don’t want to—”But Gabriel stopped Pietro’s words. “Remove his shirt.”It was a
