Billionaire Defiant Wife

Chapter 863: He Is Not Him

Gabrielle shook her head, saying, "Nothing. I think my baby boy is protesting."

Avery smiled and stroked Gabrielle's tummy, "Be a good boy. Or you're gonna get spanked after you come out."

The odd thing was he really stopped after what Avery said.

Gabrielle said, "Avery, he responds so well to what you said."

Avery smiled and moved her hand away from Gabrielle's tummy. She helped her with her messy hair and said nothing. Then she looked at the man standing not far away from them, "Mr. Black is a good man."

Gabrielle also turned around to look at Mr. Black. He has been so helpful since Phantom and Jackson's planes crashed into the sea. Although Gabrielle was the queen of the Ancient Country, there were a lot of controversies. Mr. Black solved a lot of problems for her and took all the blame.

Gabrielle thought about asking why Mr. Black would do so. On second thoughts, she believed it was because of Rosy.

Gabrielle withdrew her look. She couldn't help feeling bitter. It has been six months, and she still refused to believe that Jackson was crushed in the sea.

In the past six months, Gabrielle was desperate and hopeless. She wouldn't talk much. She only thought about Jackson when she took one second from her overly busy schedule. Then there was the relieving pain in her heart that could not beat.

Gabrielle whispered, "Mr. Black is alright. But he is not him."

Avery sighed and didn't bring up it again in case Gabrielle was worked up. She said, "Should we check on Jessica?"

Gabrielle said okay and nodded. She let Avery hold her hands and walked.

Avery pushed the door open with joy, saying, "Jessica, are you ready? The wedding is starting soon."

Jessica was in the center of a group of people. The wedding veil was so long that it touched the ground. Jessica's beautiful face was gentle. She said, "Avery, Gabrielle."

Avery moved forward to hold Jessica's hands, patting her hand back, saying, "Congrats!"

Then they heard the sound of fireworks from outside the door. It sounded pleasing. Even Tinder couldn't help getting happy, and he was always not used to showing his emotions. He said, "The bridegroom is coming for the bride. Please open the door!"

Avery smiled and shook her head playfully, saying, "Hold that thought."

Gabrielle knew what Avery was trying to do and said, "Yes, how could we let James marry Jessica so easily?"

"Yes. I think so. Do not open the door."

Outside the door, the sound of fireworks came. James stood by the door, and he was so tall. He wore a custom-made white suit, and the shirt had no wrinkles at all. He buttoned you all the buttons. He looked nobly charming.

He wore a black waistcoat and black suit and pants. His hair was pushed all the way up and revealed his beautiful forehead. James was devastatingly handsome and caused the attention of all the people.

A lot of people surrounded James, and there was literally no room for another one in the bride's room."Avery, Gabrielle." They were impressed with his handsome look, gentleman behavior, and charming presence.

James had the tenderest look he never showed to the public. It added warmth to him an otherwise good look. He was waiting for the door to be opened to see his bride.

But he waited for a long time, and the door wasn't open.

There was no sound inside.

What was going on?

James knocked on the door with his beautiful hands. After two knocks, he said gently, "Jessica?"

Gabrielle said, "James, we locked the door. You have to pass our tests to see Jessica."

James frowned and his face looked more handsome, saying, "What tests?"

Another girl's voice came from inside, saying, "James, we're going to test you about your love life with Jessica. Where did you first have sex with Jessica?"

Laughter

They all burst out laughing. Who the hell was this girl? She was so bald. The first question was so juicy.

But they all looked forward to hearing the answer.

James frowned, and he said quickly, "On the bed."

The unmarried socialites have already started fantasizing about the picture of James in the bed with them.

"Was the bride a willing party in your first love-making?"

Inside the room, Jessica remained seated on the bed. She already got shy and had a red face when they asked the first question. Now she grabbed the sleeves of the girl who asked the second question to let her stop.

Then she heard James's voice, "I don't know what she thought. But I know I would happily do that again.

Wow-

That was so, man! They thought.

Jessica lowered her head more. She drank wine laced with drugs. So she probably was willing as well.

If they didn't do it firstly, Jessica, the cocky peacock, would not be interested in James, who was then only a bodyguard.

Gabrielle's interest was aroused and asked, "How would you describe the happiest moment you are with Jessica?"

The happiest moment...

James smiled and said gently with a deep voice, "When she walks in front of me, it only takes me one look to see her shadow overlaps with mine."

Back in the day, Jessica was an arrogant miss, James was the bodyguard who always stood behind her. As he watched her shadow, he told himself multiple times she was his, so was his shadow.

Jessica trembled, and so did her eyelashes in the room. Her big and beautiful eyes got watery quickly. All his happiness and sorrow came from her. Like magic, a big palm erased all the suffering she has been through. All the old scars were healed at the very moment.

The past was the past. A lot of people and stuff faded away in memory. When the happiness Jessica felt triumphed the sadness then, she would let every piece of bad memory between her and James go.

Jessica knew she was happy now.

In the room, Avery couldn't help getting touched too. If Andrew was still alive, would he cry or smile, seeing how happy Jessica was?

No matter what it is, he asked her to take care of Jessica when he died. Now Avery was certain to give Jessica to James.

Gabrielle hugged Avery and wiped out her tears with her small hands. How could she cry at such a joyful occasion?

Gabrielle whispered, "Avery, don't keep Evan waiting for too long."

When a man truly loves a woman, it doesn't mean he says I love you or take care of you. He is still with you after years and years. He is still very patient to wait for you to say, Yes, I do.

Avery looked at Evan, standing not far away holding Cher. In a daze, James already came in and gave sharp looks at the girl who asked tough questions before.

When he finally landed on Jessica, he paused and froze.

Jessica wore a strapless wedding gown with laces, bringing out her purity and elegance. This dress was custom made and showed her beautiful body perfectly. She put the hair all up and made a bun. When she looked down, James was intoxicated in her beauty.

James could feel his pupils shrinking. He imagined how good she looked in a wedding dress. But when he saw it, he was blown away.

He stood there and forgot to say things.

Others waiting outside the door all came in. Pop! The colorful ribbons went off and fell on the ground like fireworks.
