Gabrielle's excitement faded when she saw a cute girl running out.
"Little Daddy!" she squealed with delight.
The little girl was adorable. Gabrielle loved kids, so she couldn't help but admire her.
She felt the parents were blessed to have such a lovely child.
The famous saying 'A daughter is her father's lover from his past life' popped up in Gabrielle's mind. She deemed the father of the little girl lucky to have such an adorable daughter.
'What if Westley and I had a daughter? I'm sure she would be adorable too,' she mused.
Since Westley was a handsome hunk, his daughter would undoubtedly look stunning.
Gabrielle snapped out of her thoughts, wondering why she was imagining too much. After all, she and Westley had just admitted their feelings for each other, and she was dreaming of having kids with him now.
Just then, she saw the little girl jump into a man's arms. Gabrielle's eyes widened in horror, and her jaw dropped in shock when she realized that it was Westley.
"Little Daddy, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?" The girl threw her arms around Westley's neck and hugged him tightly.
Gabrielle was standing far away from them, so she only heard the girl calling Westley 'little Daddy' but couldn't catch his response.
Westley lifted the little girl and smiled at her tenderly.
Upon witnessing their interaction, Gabrielle understood they weren't seeing each other for the first time.
It looked like Westley adored the child.
Just as Westley turned around, Gabrielle involuntarily hid behind the pillar, which caught Melissa and Jackson's attention.
They stared at Gabrielle, wondering what had happened to her. She seemed normal a few minutes ago but was panicking now as if she had seen her worst enemy.
"Are you alright, Gabrielle?" Melissa asked concernedly.
Gabrielle shook her head. "I'm fine."
Then, she turned to look at Westley and saw the child fondly kissing his face.
And Westley was doting on her. This was the first time Gabrielle saw him interact with a child.
'Is she his daughter?'
Gabrielle couldn't fathom where the idea came from. But the longer she looked at Westley, the stronger her doubts became. She couldn't shake the feelings building inside her. They looked like father and daughter.
'Does Westley have a secret family? Is the girl his illegitimate child?'
Gabrielle secretly peeped out of the pillar and watched everything from afar. Just then, a tall, gorgeous woman walked toward Westley. She had blonde hair and milky skin, looking like a model who had walked out of a photoshoot. Gabrielle couldn't help but wonder if she was the mother of the girl.
As expected, the woman stood in front of Westley and greeted him with a warm smile. She reached out to pick the girl, but the kid refused to let go of Westley. Gabrielle's heart broke when she saw him smiling at her.
