Chapter 620:
“Launch a comprehensive investigation into Gabriela’s background,” she commanded.
Alberto nodded in acknowledgment. “Consider it done p>
Outside the estate, Gabriela slipped into Wesley’s waiting vehicle.
She found him reclined against the seat with closed eyes, apparently resting, but couldn’t contain her burning curiosity.
“Wesley, did you travel here because of me p>
Wesley maintained his silence, feigning sleep.
Gabriela grasped his arm insistently. “Wesley, I’m speaking to you. Why do you invest such care in my welfare p>
Wesley’s eyes finally fluttered open.
Gabriela glimpsed what appeared to be profound exhaustion flickering in their depths before it vanished.
He replied coldly, “My grandmother requested that I watch over you. She’d be upset if harm befell you p>
Loretta knew about her visit to Beverley’s residence?

Gabriela prepared to voice her doubts when Wesley continued, “Moving forward, cease antagonizing the Howard family p>
She rushed to defend herself. “I didn’t. Beverley was the one who p>
Wesley cut through her explanation with a sharp warning. “Do not speak negatively about Rebecca in Mrs. Howard’s presence p>
Gabriela stared at him in stunned disbelief.
Was Wesley’s desperate need to protect Rebecca’s reputation the reason he had come to take her away?
Fury ignited in Gabriela’s chest, turning her eyes crimson as she slammed the car door with violent force. “Unlock this door immediately—I’m getting out p>
Billy remained paralyzed in his seat, afraid to comply, instead gunning the engine to speed their return to Rosemont Gardens.
Wesley observed her outburst with complete emotional detachment. “You’re free to exit now p>
Gabriela drew in a shuddering breath, her chest tight with familiar anguish.
She understood she shouldn’t nurture hope, yet why did disappointment slice through her with such relentless precision?
Perhaps it was the look of authentic concern on his face when he’d rushed to her side.
But his care proved illusory, while his terror of her criticizing Rebecca burned real and fierce.
Gabriela wrenched the car door open and fled into the night.
Billy released a weary sigh into the silence. “Mr. Moss, your feelings for her are unmistakable p>
“Drive,” Wesley commanded with arctic finality, his eyes sliding shut to signal the conversation’s brutal end.
Gabriela barricaded herself in her bedroom, tears streaming until exhaustion claimed her, interrupted only when Farley appeared cradling Truett.
The baby had graduated from nursing, now clutching his bottle with determined little fists while studying Gabriela with solemn curiosity.
Gabriela scrubbed away her tears and gathered him against her heart.
Farley’s voice carried gentle concern. “Gabriela, did Mrs. Howard torment you today p>
Kaleb had already briefed Farley about Alberto’s aggressive attempt to intercept her at the company.
“She merely requested a meal,” Gabriela murmured, tickling Truett’s chin. “My cooking appeared to satisfy her completely p>
Relief flooded Farley’s features as Gabriela continued, “I’ll tend to Truett tonight, Farley. You deserve rest p>
Farley nodded gratefully and disappeared downstairs.
Truett drained his bottle before launching into an enthusiastic crawling expedition across the bed’s expanse.
The determined child had recently mastered locomotion, propelling himself with infectious energy from corner to corner.
Terror gripped Gabriela at the prospect of him tumbling to the floor, so she captured him in her protective embrace, just as his voice rang out with crystal clarity.
“Daddy p>
His declaration bloomed into an angelic smile directed straight at her.
Fresh tears scalded Gabriela’s cheeks as fury erupted from her wounded soul. “Your daddy is a terrible man p>
Yet her son seemed determined to torment her further, chanting his mantra with gleeful persistence. “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy p>
Gabriela teetered on the precipice of madness.
But as her frustration reached its crescendo, unexpected laughter bubbled up from her depths.
Very well—her son was perfection incarnate, and if calling for his father brought him joy, she would endure it.
As for that father, he could vanish into the void where he belonged.
She sealed a sacred vow within her battered heart: never again would she shed tears over Wesley.
