! ! Chapter 0426 f With that, he links our hands, turns {around and pulls me out of the room. The | last thing I see before we leave is Milly’s | fear. Her fear tells me all I need to know.

| Yeah, that investigation report isn’t going to be singing praises of her.

We get into the elevator in silence and ride up. When it opens, Gabriel leads me to his office.

“Are you okay?” he asks me when we are inside. “I gave our media team the go ahead to announce our marriage. I just went down to let you know since you weren't in your office when I came across that disgusting scene.” I pull my hand from his and then stare at him. “I’m okay. It’s nothing to worry about.” “Are you sure?”

(l - drag “Positive” ) We remain in silence for a while. I can see | I he wants to say something more, but ' something is holding him back. His intense eyes causes me to shift i uncomfortably.

“If there is nothing else, I'd like to leave for home. I've been anxious all day because of Lilly” I mumble, unable to meet his eyes.

“Sure, I'll be home once I'm done here." I nod my head before turning to leave. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate what he did for me, it’s just his actions have made me more confused.

When we were married before, Gabriel never wanted to be associated with me.

He didn’t want anyone knowing he had married me, so he hid me and our marriage. Now he has just announced it and threatened anyone who dared to hurt me. I was at a loss for words on how to

| deal with it.

) Going to my office, I arrange my desk, { f pack my things, then leave. Christopher was nowhere to be seen, so I just leave.

| Getting to the underground lot, I find our | driver waiting for me. After greeting him, I get in and minutes later, he peels off. I lean back against the leather chair and close my eyes while contemplating things. By the time we get to the apartment building, I'm still as confused as I was when this whole thing started.

Pushing those thoughts to the back of my mind, I focus on my daughter.

“Lilly?” I call the minute I get home.

She rushes out of her bedroom seconds later before throwing herself at me.

“Mom!” her happiness eases something inside me.

“How was school?” I hug her before hanging up my coat, removing my shoes

| and dropping my handbag on the couch.

i “It was awesome. So awesome. I loved I it,” she gushes in happiness. - I heave a sigh of relief. I shouldn’t have | been worried after all. She seems more than okay.

“My guide was a girl named Sierra and she’s the best. I like her so much, and I think we are going to be good friends.

She’s so cool and smart,” she tells me in a singsong voice. “Noah also introduced me to his best friend called Gunner and some of his other friends, who were also nice, but I liked Sierra more.” Lilly can be a bit of a loner at times. So to know that she made friends on her first day eases my heart.

“Really?” I take her hand and pull her towards the sofa where I sit us down.

“Yes.” She answers. “Though, I think she has the biggest crush on Noah. Noah on

"the other hand seems to hate her. I don’t ) know why when she’s so nice.” I Give me the tea, why don’t you? She looks totally confused, I am too, but | who knows the minds of kids, right? | From there she proceeds to tell me everything that happened at school. I swear to you, she didn’t leave a detail out.

She talks throughout dinner and even after.

Probably due to the day’s excitement, she falls asleep before Gabriel get home. He's going to be disappointed, but she could barely keep her eyes open.

I wanted to go to bed too, but I decided against it. Now that I'm calmer, I know that I need to thank Gabriel for what he did for me.

So with decision in mind, I stay waiting for him, while going through the media frenzy the announcement of our

\ marriage had caused.
