Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 108

Gabrielle felt sad about what Wendy had said. She sat on the edge of her bed with her phone still pressed to her ear. She held her head in her other hand worriedly. Although she was sad and angry, she decided not to say anything more to her mother. Besides, what she had just said proved to her that she hadn't been on her toes looking for her son, Bryce right from time.

If she had counted solely on her to find Bryce, she would probably be dead by now because Westley would have tortured her to death. 'Waiting on this woman isn't worth it at all, ' she thought bitterly as she shook her head.

'I'll just do what I have to do without relying on anybody to help me. After all, nobody cares if I die or not, ' she muttered to herself.

"Mom, I'm just telling you this so that you can find my brother as soon as possible. If my opinion doesn't matter to you, you can as well forget about it." Her voice was filled with rage.

Wendy tried to calm her down. "I'm doing this for your good, Gabrielle. Now that you and Westley are both married, why don't you use this golden opportunity to make your husband fall in love with you? If you do, you'll enjoy endless wealth and honor. Don't you know the kind of respect that comes with being a member of the Morris family? If you divorce him, you'll be a divorced woman for life. Which other rich family do you think will accept you?"

Her mother's way of thinking made her unable to oppose her. Her thinking was just too shallow.

'What does she mean by saying that a divorced woman couldn't marry into a rich family again? Does she think that I am like her? All she thinks about is getting married into a rich family. Is this what life is all about?' she asked herself deeply.

If she became Westley's ex-wife, no one would want to marry her again, not to even mention a rich family. But then, she didn't care.

For this reason, as soon as Bryce and Nellie came back, she would divorce Westley immediately and relocate to an entirely different city.

She was no longer comfortable being here. She was just being used for people's selfish desires.

When she saw that her daughter didn't oppose her, Wendy thought that she had succeeded in convincing her, so she quickly continued since it looked like she was hitting the nail right on the head. "Gabrielle, as I said earlier, I'm saying all these for your good. Although you're not my biological child, I raised you for twenty years and I still care about you so much. Like your mother, you are dear to me and I hope that you can live a happy and comfortable life."

"I know that you are doing this for me, Mom. But I'm pleading with you on my knees, please try harder to find my brother. I can't keep staying where I'm not wanted," she said and paused for a while. "If there's nothing else to talk about, I have to go," Gabrielle said as she was about to hang up.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go? Do you have anything to do or you are not happy talking with me? Let's still talk for a few minutes,"

Wendy said, complaining.

"Mom, I am not in a hurry. We've been talking for a while already," she said weakly.

"Your grandfather's birthday is in a few days. Do you still remember?" Wendy asked, changing the subject. She didn't want to argue anymore with her.

"Of course, Mom. I still remember. How can I forget? There are still four or five days left. I will prepare the gift in advance," she said seriously.

Her grandfather was a very lively man who enjoyed the company of other people. Year in, year out, his birthday party had always been magnificent. Although Gabrielle was adopted, he treated her as if she was his biological granddaughter.

This was because she was much more well-behaved than Mindy.

For this reason, her cousin, Mindy didn't want her to go to the Carter family. Gabrielle was always called a deceitful woman by her for always wanting to please people around her, but this wasn't true as she didn't try to please her grandfather or anyone in particular. She just didn't like causing commotion anywhere she was like Mindy did. Anytime she went to the Carter family house, she would behave herself well and do as she was instructed. Adults liked obedient children because they didn't stress them. This was what attracted Miley to her.

"Are you less busy tomorrow? I would like you to follow me to the shopping mall so that we can pick a gift for your grandfather and also get you a decent dress so that you don't

disgrace your husband with your shabby look during the party," her mother said bluntly.

"What do you mean by that statement, Mom?"

she asked with a puzzled look on her face. 'What does she mean by saying that I should not disgrace my husband? I am going back to the Carter family to celebrate my grandfather's birthday for heaven's sake! What has that got to do with Westley?' she asked herself silently.

She ignored her question and said, "You are married to Westley, Gabrielle and it's your grandfather's birthday. Make sure he goes with you as a grandson-in-law. Your grandma will be very happy to see him go to the house with you," Wendy said honestly.

"Mom, how did grandpa know that I am married?" Gabrielle was a little surprised. She remembered that it was only a few people in the Carter family that knew she had married Westley. Except for Mindy and Lance, no one else knew about her marriage. Or did Mindy tell her grandfather?
