NovelEnglishChapter 0477 “Let's go before we are late,” | tell him after we both caught our breaths.
He nods his head, as his hand glides down mine where he locks our fingers together and pulls me out of our bedroom.
“You look stunning, Mrs. Harper!” Sierra screams, her voice brimming with glee when she sees me.
“Yes! You do, mom,” Lilly adds, bouncing up and down.
“Thank you, girls,” Sierra will be leaving later on because of school tomorrow. Since neither me nor Gabriel will be here when she leaves, we have arranged with our driver to have him drop her off. He'll make sure she’s back home safely.
“Now, you two be good to Sharon and don't cause her any trouble, okay?” | tease in warning.
“We will" they chorus.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy eyes, since meeting Sierra, stray back to her. Like | said, there is something about her that draws me to her. Something familiar.
After saying goodbye to both of them, Gabriel and | leave. We don’t say much in the car, but his hand which held mine the entire time, comforts me.
We get there in record time and | start to panic when | notice a few paparazzi outside the building.
“You nervous?” Gabriel pulls my attention from them.
“Yes” | reply shakily. “This is the first time we are appearing at an event together.” My eyes drift back to the wind, but Gabriel grabs my chin and pulls my face back to his.
“Look at me,” he commands.
The authority and sexiness of his deep husky voice, has me obeying his command like a
good girl.
“Everything will be okay; I'll be with you. You don't have to worry about anything,” | take a deep breath and nod my head. “Okay.” “Good, now, Mrs. Gabriel Woods. It's time to show you off,” he steals a quick kiss, making me laugh in the process just as the door opens.
The driver helps me out. Gabriel comes out, takes my hand and places a kiss on it, before placing another one on my temple.
The paparazzi swarm us, the camera lights blinding me as each one of them tries to take a picture.
HOW DID YOU TWO MEET? One person throws out.
HARPER, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO STEAL GABRIEL'S HEART WHEN OTHER WOMEN HAVE NEVER SUCCEEDED? WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU WERE IN LOVE?
ISIT TRUE YOU TWO HAVE A DAUGHTER? IS SHE THE REASON WHY YOU GOT MARRIED? They keep throwing questions at us.
“Ignore them,” Gabriel whispers in my ear, as he leads me inside. | When we get inside, | breath a sigh of relief.
Thanking the heavens that we were finally | away from those meddling reporters.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm| come to a stop when the spacious room greets us. Hundreds of people are seated in the elegantly decorated room. Whoever the planner was, did an amazing job because | everything was so beautiful and enchanting.
Gabriel leads me, as | stare all around me. It's been years since I've been to a charity event.
The moment our company went bankrupt, we stopped receiving invitations.
Before we can get to where he intended us to get to, we are intercepted by his mother.
“Oh, Harper, I'm so glad to see you and have you here. Thank you for coming!” Gabriel's mother beams in a sweet voice, and then pulls me in a warm and tight hug.
‘I'm right here, Mom... You know, your son" Gabriel teases with a smile on his face.
"Oh shush!" she swats at his arms. "| only invited you because of Harper." “Thank you for having me.” | smile, basking in her warmth.
“You two have a seat. | have to play host until everyone arrives.” She says, and then gives us a gentle push towards the tables and chairs.
I immediately spot Ava and Rowan. They are seated at one of the tables at the front. Gabriel guides us in that direction, while avoiding those who obviously want to engage him in conversation. When we get there, Ava and Rowan stand up to greet us. | We take our seats and the brothers immediately begin to talk.
“You look stunning, Harper.” Ava smiles at me warmly.
“You too, that dress looks gorgeous on you.” | reply, and then, for some odd reason, we begin laughing.
