Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 15

Gabrielle was obviously ingratiating Westley, but he didn't stop her because he wanted to see how long she could continue doing it.

 

He looked at her from head to toe as if scrutinizing her, thinking inwardly, 'It's a pity that she doesn't even know how hypocritical she looks while fawning over me.'

 

Wendy knew that Westley hated the Jones family. Of course, he also disliked Gabrielle because of that. But she didn't expect him to hate them this much.

 

He was not only unfriendly to her and to Tobias, but he was also cold and mean to Gabrielle.

 

She had originally planned to reap some benefits from Gabrielle, so she used Gabrielle to make atonement for Westley.

 

Gabrielle was beautiful anyway. As long as she worked hard, she could easily conquer a man's heart. At most, she only had to work a little harder to get a man like Westley.

 

But upon seeing his attitude now, it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it wouldn't work on him.

 

If he was really angered, he could annihilate the entire Jones. Wendy couldn't just sit still and wait for it to happen. She needed to do something to protect the Jones family and Bryce.

 

"Westley, we will keep in mind everything you've just said. We will definitely find Bryce and Miss Collins as soon as possible. By the way, we have been talking for so long. Why don't we eat some fruits first?" As she spoke, Wendy put an apple and a fruit knife in Gabrielle's hands, hinting her to peel the apple for Westley.

 

Gabrielle was extremely reluctant, but she still pretended to be very willing.

 

"Gabrielle, you don't have to peel that. I don't eat any fruits peeled by someone else," Westley snapped, glancing at her coldly. He never cared to show respect for her at all.

 

Her hands froze for a moment. Then the corner of her mouth raised. "I'll peel it for myself then."

 

Knowing that Gabrielle was always good at playing innocent, Westley didn't bother to talk more.

 

"Since we have paid you a visit and delivered Miley's gift for you, I'll leave now." He stood up and prepared to leave. He had no intention of staying any longer.

 

"Westley, let's have lunch first. I know that you and Gabrielle are coming today, so I've ordered our cook to prepare a special meal for you."

 

"I appreciate your kindness, Mrs. Jones. But lunch is not necessary," he said indifferently without hesitation.

 

Seeing how he rejected Wendy's invitation rudely made Gabrielle feel really uncomfortable.

 

Wendy was not her biological mother, but she had always respected her. After all, Wendy didn't mistreat her. Although Wendy let her do some household chores occasionally, she didn't take it against her.

 

Gabrielle was still in a daze when her phone suddenly rang. It happened to be an unfamiliar number, so she hesitated to answer it for a while. But then, she thought that it could be one of their customers in the jewelry shop. It must be important, so she couldn't just ignore it.

 

"Hello? This is Gabrielle," she answered.

 

"Gabrielle, this is Grandma." Miley's cheerful voice came through from the other end of the line.

 

She was a little stunned as she didn't expect to receive a call from Westley's grandmother.

 

"Hello, Grandma. What can I do for you?" she respectfully said, then subconsciously glanced at Westley.

 

He coincidentally looked at her too, so their eyes met. She avoided his gaze at once.

 

"Are you in the Jones' villa now?"

 

"Yes, Grandma. I arrived a while ago."

 

"Is Westley still there too?"

 

"Yes, he's here." If Miley called one minute later, Westley would have already driven away. After all, Gabrielle definitely couldn't stop him. And no one from the Jones family would dare to stop him either.

 

Asking him to enter the Jones family's villa was already enough to make him angry. If they forced him to stay and have lunch with them, he might set the entire house on fire in a fit of rage.

 

"Gabrielle, give your phone to Westley. I want to talk to him," Miley said in a gentle tone.
