Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 605

After hanging up the phone with Wendy, Gabrielle didn’t want to say or think about anything. She stood on the spot in a daze.

She knew, better than anyone, how much Wendy hated her. Wendy believed Gabrielle was the reason for the Jones family’s misfortune — including Bryce’s injury. She believed that Gabrielle wanted to destroy their family.

Wendy would always find a way to condemn Gabrielle.

However, despite knowing the woman’s intentions, Gabrielle was still disappointed that she hadn’t welcomed her to visit the Jones family.

It was the first year Gabrielle couldn’t spend the public holiday with the Jones family. She had originally planned to take Westley to the Jones family.

It was cold outside. Gabrielle had been in the room, so she didn’t wear a coat — she was in a simple white sweater. The chilly breeze whipped her as she was standing on the balcony. Her body began to tremble.

Her heart sank with dejection as she yearned for family affection. She braced herself and stared into the distance.

Just then, she felt a warm blanket around her. Strong hands grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a tight embrace.

“What’s wrong? Why did you come out to the balcony? Gosh, it’s so cold here!” Westley whispered in her ear.

“Nothing. I just got a call from Mrs. Jones.” Gabrielle tried to sound calm to make sure Westley didn’t worry about her.

Hearing that, Westley frowned. He cupped Gabrielle’s cheeks and looked at her. It seemed obvious that she wasn’t happy.

“Are you really okay?” Westley eyed her with concern.

“Honey, don’t worry. I’m fine. Have you prepared gifts for the Morris family?” Gabrielle tried to change the topic.

“Yes, I have. We will go back to the old house soon. Grandma will be very happy to see you.” Westley ruffled her hair.

“Yes, I miss grandma too. It’s been a long time since I saw her. I wonder if she is mad at me.” Gabrielle’s face flushed with embarrassment.

fter all, Miley was nice to her. She feared that the old woman would be mad at her for not visiting them often. “Grandma won’t be angry with you. She would be so happy to see you. How can she be angry?” Westley kissed her orehead. “Well, I hope she isn’t mad at me.” Gabrielle smiled. “Gabrielle, do you want to send the gift to the Jones family today, or shall we give it to them tomorrow?” asked Westley. Gabrielle was stunned.

She hadn’t thought about how to deal with the gift for the Jones family. After all, Wendy didn’t let them go for their routine visit on the public holiday.

Gabrielle was not in the mood to go back. She didn’t know what to do now. “Westley, Mrs. Jones said we don’t need to go back. Arrange for someone to send the gift to them. After all, you’ve become the son in law of the Jones family,” Gabrielle finally said after a long pause. Hearing that, Westley understood why his wife was sad. It turned out that it was because of Wendy forbidding them from visiting the Jones family.

A fter all, Gabrielle would want to go back to her parents’ home and spend time with them during such an occasion. “Gabrielle, if you want to go back, I’ll take you. Let’s see who can stop us,” Westley said coldly. Gabrielle didn’t doubt Westley’s words at all, for he had access to every place in Antawood. However, Wendy didn’t welcome her to the Jones family; she didn’t want to go there and suffer any humiliation.

“No need. I don’t want to be scolded or suffer any humilia

tion on the happy occasion. Westley, do you know that if someone scolds you at the beginning of a year, it will continue all year round? Do you want this bad luck?” Gabrielle poked his chest. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Westley wasn’t superstitious, but he subconsciously began to believe her words.

After all, he had a superstitious wife, so he had to believe her words.

His belief didn’t matter because he wanted to make her happy. He chose to obey his wife, which would be much better than going against her every day.

After all, one couldn’t reason with women.

“Okay. Whatever you say. If you want to go, I’ll take you there. If not, let’s not go.” Westley rubbed her head dotingly.

However, seeing the disappointment in her eyes, he knew that Gabrielle wanted to visit the Jones family.

After all, they had raised her. How could she not have feelings for them?

However, Gabrielle didn’t want to go back and let Wendy humiliate her.

“The Jones family has blamed you for Bryce’s issue. It was all his fault, but they ended up blaming you. Are you upset about that? Do you feel wronged?” Gabrielle looked at Westley with concern.

Bryce had been the culprit from the very beginning, but everyone blamed Westley. It was unfair. They were being unreasonable. “No. All of it is worth it because I have won your heart. I won’t feel bad even if they blame me for all the problems in the world.” Westley laughed. Hearing that, Gabrielle also burst into laughter. “Mr. Morris, you are a business elite. Why have you become less competent? You are happy about incurring losses.” “I’m a businessman. I’d be happy regardless of whether I make money or not. So don’t worry about me.” Westley lowered his head and kissed her.

“Gabrielle, Star is awake!” Rose shouted from the room. She didn’t want to disturb the couple who were hugging each other. However, she had been waiting for Star to wake up. It was more important than anything else. “Westley, Star is awake.” Gabrielle immediately took Westley’s hand and happily ran to the room. The little boy’s eyes fluttered open. He squinted and looked around the room. His body grew tense, and he became alert when he saw Rose, a stranger.

However, his body visibly relaxed when his gaze settled on Gabrielle and Westley. The child instinctively guarded himself against the strange environment. Gabrielle didn’t know if Star was sensitive by nature or the special training during his childhood had made him alert. Whatever it was, Gabrielle liked to believe the boy as sensitive by nature. Star was raised by a single mother. Moreover, he was an illegitimate child. Therefore, he would be instinctively on guard around strange people. “Star, you’re awake. Are you feeling okay? This is our home in Antawood. Your dad and I brought you back here. This is your room. From now on, you are going to stay with us. Do you like it? If not, we can change it later.” Gabrielle grinned excitedly.

Westley immediately translated for her. Star looked at her and blinked innocently. “Yes, I like it.” “Oh my God! He is an angel. Look at his eyes. They are beautiful.” Even though Rose had seen many foreigners and children of mixed race, she hadn’t seen such beautiful, magnetic eyes before. Star had

been sleeping all this while. Now that he was awake, Rose couldn’t help but admire his glistening eyes. They were beautiful. “Yes, that’s what I said too. His eyes twinkle like the stars,” Gabrielle added.
