Chapter 61 He Only Knew How to Say Sorry

Gabriella used her phone to settle the payment. When she opened her call records, there were multiple missed calls and text messages from Henry.She opened them one by one. The first text message said, "Where are you, Gabriella? I'll come and pick you up."The second one read, "I can explain about the news.""I'm sorry," the third text message showed.Gabriella smiled at the apology.Sorry.It was an apology again.He only knew how to say sorry.He knew it was wrong. Yet, he continued to do it anyway.The fourth text message came much later than the first three. It said, "I've asked someone to reduce the media spread of the ill-edited clip of your interview at the hospital entrance. Where are you now, Gabriella? I will come and pick you up. Please call me back when you've read this text."Gabriella logged onto Twitter. She noticed a few marketing agencies releasing news about her.The media titled her news "The latest response from Gabriella, the homewrecker".What was her

Chapter 62 Making Groundless Accusations

No one on the internet could hurt her. Only Henry could.She had dealt with the press on promotional-related work for MQ and other projects. She knew the people on the internet were like the blind leading the blind.What they saw was what someone else wanted them to see.Today's news was an example. The media intentionally steered the tides in a different direction. Plus, they stabbed Imogen behind her back. Someone wanted to paint this picture to the people on the internet.What they didn't want the people on the internet to see was her clarification. They saw how Henry protected himself. Nothing was said about these on the internet. If she posted the truth on Twitter, it would be taken down within three seconds.Hugo sat with Gabriella in the bar for a while.Gabriella asked, "Don't you have work this afternoon?""Nope. If I did, my manager would have bombarded my phone with calls. I have time to sit with you here for a while. Sigh, why don't you come to my place for dinner? I

Chapter 63 Played Favorites

Hugo went forward and took off his face mask. "Grandpa Albert and Grandma Aster, I brought Gabby here. I heard Grandpa Albert fell ill, so I decided to come and visit. How are you doing, Grandpa Albert?""How thoughtful of you. I'm doing great. Don't worry," Albert said as he chuckled."That's good. Since I've brought Gabby here, I won't overstay my welcome. I will go now. Bye, Gabby. Bye, Grandpa Albert and Grandma Aster. Bye, Mr. Toussaint." Hugo wore his face mask and left the ward."Gabby, your friend is handsome. He looks like a good man," Aster smiled and said.Then she secretly glanced at Henry.From her years of experience, she could tell Hugo fancied Gabriella.However, Hugo knew better than Hannah.Gabriella didn't understand what Aster was implying. She replied, "He is a celebrity, Grandma. He is popular among young girls.""Really? How did you meet?""He was my neighbor growing up, but he moved later on. I never expected to bump into him again.""It must be fate!"

Chapter 64 Would You Like To Relax?

Henry took a deep breath. He explained, "Hannah is struggling with mental health issues. It's dangerous to leave her alone."A strong sense of helplessness loomed over Gabriella when she heard his explanation.How would Henry understand that she couldn't be bothered with Hannah? This was not an excuse she would empathize with.Plus, she noticed the way Hannah spoke to her this morning. She didn't look sick.If she verbalized what she felt in her heart, he would say that she lacked empathy."You would still go to her even if she wasn't in danger. You care for her. You don't need to twist the situation so forcefully," Gabriella said. "Plus, I don't owe you an explanation for anything.""I know you like Hugo, but you shouldn't see him now. You even brought him to see Grandpa.""Pot calling the kettle black, huh? You chose to see Hannah at this point and brought her to Grandpa. I'm merely following your example.""Hannah's condition acted up. I had no choice but to bring her here t

Chapter 65 Scumbag

Her vision recovered well, so she didn't need to stay hospitalized.The next morning, Gabriella went to discharge herself from the hospital after breakfast. Then, she called her driver to bring her belongings back home before visiting Albert at his ward.The ward was silent.Albert sat on the hospital bed while Aster was on the sofa. Both of them turned their faces away, unwilling to look at each other.Gabriella sensed a weird vibe as she walked in."Grandpa, Grandma." Gabriella turned around and looked at them. "Have you had your breakfast?""Yes.""Yes."Both of them answered incoherently."What's up with both of you? Did you fight?""We didn't fight. Your Grandpa is throwing a tantrum." Aster rolled her eyes at Albert.Gabriella looked at Albert. "What did you do to make Grandma angry, Grandpa?""I didn't make her angry," Albert muttered softly as guilt was written across his face."What's the matter?"Aster scoffed. "You be the judge, Gabby. He is not well, yet he ke

Chapter 66 Art Inspired by Reality

Henry didn't bring along his driver. Gabriella opened the door to the passenger seat and sat there, wearing her safety belt. Henry, who was seated in the driver's seat, didn't start the car immediately. He loosened his collar and said nonchalantly, "You told the doctor that I'm your ex-husband?"Hearing this, Gabriella's heart skipped a beat. Did Henry already know that she was pregnant?She looked at Henry, feeling alert. Her hands that were on her thighs instinctively moved slowly toward her belly. She asked, "Why? Are you scared that others would know Hannah wrecked our marriage and caused our divorce?""Gabriella, that's not what I meant.""Then what do you mean?" Gabriella arched an eyebrow.Henry pursed his lips. "I don't mean to blame you." As Gabriella's husband, he naturally felt uncomfortable hearing that she referred to him as her ex-husband to the doctor.She replied casually, "Whatever, I'm just overthinking. I said that when I got into the car accident. We are goi

Chapter 67 The Biggest Fool in the World

Ms. Carrington, congratulations on your recovery," Imogen said with a smile."Thank you, Ms. Tarth," Gabriella said lightly."You didn't come by these few days. I thought you were so embarrassed that you went into hiding!"Gabriella smiled. "I see that you're happy about getting half of your year-end bonus deducted. You sacrificed that much money to insult me. You're very generous indeed."Imogen's face stiffened before she said, "Gabriella, do you think you've won?""What do you mean?"Imogen arched an eyebrow. "Do you really think it was the interns' fault?"Gabriella stayed silent. Of course, she knew that the person who liked the statement was Imogen. The intern was just the poor sap who became the scapegoat.Seeing her expression, Imogen laughed. "Even you know that I did it. How would Mr. Toussaint not know? But he still chose to let me stay and pushed the blame to the intern. What do you think this means?"What did it mean? Gabriella looked down. She understood very wel

Chapter 68 She Can Only Get Hannah's Leftovers

Gabriella looked at him in disbelief. All this while, staying in the Toussaint family, Henry had always been distant with her. Why would he bring her cake all of a sudden?"You don't like it?" Seeing her expression, Henry asked. Gabriella shook her head, then quickly nodded. Why would she not like it? She had seen her classmates eat this cake before. This bakery's cakes were costly. Once, she had a chance to try their Earl Gray cake, and she couldn't forget it ever since.At the time, her father's salary was enough to sustain the two of them. Her father was never stingy toward her. But for an average-income family, Afternoon Time's cakes were a luxury they couldn't afford. "As long as you like it, that's good." Henry smiled lightly, and he went upstairs.Gabriella sat there dazed, looking at the paper bag. She still couldn't believe it. Before Henry reached the top stairs, she snapped out of it and said, "Thanks, Henry."No matter if Henry could hear it, Gabriella could hear th

Chapter 69 He Liked Daughters

Henry stared at Gabriella for a while before laughing. "Gabriella, this is not funny at all. Even if you have some beef with Imogen, you shouldn't joke about that."No wonder Imogen would say that. However, even if she didn't reveal that beforehand, he wouldn't believe it either.Imogen had worked at Toussaint Holdings for many years. Henry had witnessed her personality and performance at work. Besides, she had a boyfriend of many years, so how would she like him?Gabriella stayed silent. If Henry didn't believe her words, why did he ask her out of fake concern? She hadn't forgotten that Henry was brilliant at faking his act, so she wouldn't take his "concern" seriously.Before noon time, Gabriella received a message from Henry, which said, "Come to my office for lunch. I ordered a set for you."Gabriella typed a few words. "I'll eat in the canteen."Her finger hovered over the "send" button and didn't press it for a long time. After a few seconds, she deleted the sentence and re

Chapter 70 Don't Become Distant From Me Again

Gabriella stiffened and met Henry's gaze wordlessly. She smiled at Aster. "Grandma, I forgot to wear it. I'll bring it for you next time."Megan said, "Is it Heart of the Sea from the Aurora Charity Banquet? I've heard of it, but I didn't attend that night because I had something going on. I never thought that Ry would bid for it and gift it to Gabby. Gabby, you must let me see the sapphire for myself!"Gabriella could still fumble her way past Aster, but now that Megan spoke up, this was a tricky situation.Gabriella said, "Oliver, this is on you. How could you let Megan miss out on such a gem? Oliver, you should get Megan a piece as well. I heard that the original sapphire that Heart of the Sea was made of was quite big. They should have made quite a lot of bracelets from it. This bracelet is just the owner testing the market.""Really?" Megan's attention was successfully diverted."Of course." Gabriella nodded.Megan turned to look at Oliver. He smiled helplessly and said, "Al
