Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Defending Westley

Gabrielle and Lance were still in the Prario Restaurant. As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw that her cousin was staring at her curiously. She wondered if there was some dirt on her face because she had eaten too much.

“Lance, is there anything on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?” Gabrielle looked a little uneasy.

“Nothing. I’m just surprised that you and Austin are still on good terms.” Lance knew the existence of Austin in his cousin’s life.

Austin was Gabrielle’s schoolmate. He was not her senior in the same department, but he was in the same club with her and treated her very well. On countless occasions when Lance went to the Alonth University to see Gabrielle, he had seen them together. He knew that Austin was very concerned about Gabrielle and took good care of her.

Lance was a man and he liked Gabrielle, so he knew what was on Austin’s mind.

He knew that Austin had a crush on her and liked her very much.

After all, Gabrielle was a very beautiful girl and she also had a good temper which could make men fall in love with her at first sight.

So it was very normal for Austin to like her. After all, many boys in the Alorith University had a crush on Gabrielle.

It was Austin who helped Gabrielle get her internship in Jason’s jewelry design Studio. Ultimately, this made her feel closer and even more grateful to him.

Jealousy and unhappiness ruled Lance’s heart when he found out what Austin did for Gabrielle. He felt that the Carter family could also consider setting up a jewelry company in the future and then invite Gabrielle to work full-time in the design department,

But then, there was nothing to worry about because Lance knew that his cousin wasn’t in love with Austin in any way. There was only one person in her heart, and that was Bryce, whom Lance

hated so much.

Bryce had always treated Gabrielle in an unfriendly way, but in Gabrielle’s heart, he would always be the first one, and no one could surpass him.

“You just have a very beautiful face.” Lance said with a smile.

He didn’t want Gabrielle to know his feelings right now. The plan he had in mind was to confess his love to her when she graduated from college and the Jones family began to look for a husband for her. After all, he knew that the Jones family wouldn’t allow Gabrielle to stay in their family as a daughter-in-law.

The reason why the Jones family had adopted Gabrielle was that they wanted to have a daughter who could help the Jones family unite with another family by marriage in the future, not for the sake of raising a child bride for their son, Bryce. 2

“Are you serious? You just want to make me shy.” With a broad smile on her face, Gabrielle blushed and felt embarrassed to accept the praise from Lance.

“Don’t be shy. You have always been

beautiful. Didn’t you become the campus belle as soon as you entered the Alorith University? You know that I’m saying the truth. I’m not the only one just talking about it,” Lance said seriously as he looked at her delicate white face.

He felt that such a tender girl should be pampered instead of being hurt and bullied by people.

In his opinion, both Westley and Bryce had bullied and hurt Gabrielle.

“You’re the only one talking about it. You know that the campus belle is just a joke. Well, let’s just eat first. I have to accompany my mom to the mall to buy a birthday gift for Grandpa later in the afternoon.” Gabrielle had promised Wendy that she would choose a birthday gift for Kylo. Now that she had come back to Antawood from the countryside, she could go with Wendy in the afternoon.

“Okay, that’s good. Speaking of Grandpa’s birthday. will Westley be attending the birthday party also?” Lance asked curiously

Since Westley was Gabrielle’s nominal husband, he might also go to the

birthday party

She had done her part by informing Westley about it. As for whether he would be there or not, she was clueless at that time. Westley was always moody and no one knew whether he would decide out of the blues.
