Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 320

After disconnecting the call, Gabrielle hurriedly took the elevator downstairs. As soon as she walked out of the hotel, she saw an empty taxi. She hailed it and asked the driver to take her to Jones mansion.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the gate of the Jones mansion. Gabrielle paid the fare and went in carrying her bag.

Gabrielle didn't know why the huge Jones mansion made her feel lifeless and serious. It used to be lively.

But she didn't have time to think too much. She carried her bag and walked straight into the room. There she saw Wendy sitting on the sofa. She looked tired and uncomfortable, completely different from the radiant rich lady-like elegance that she always carried earlier.

Seeing Wendy in that state, Gabrielle knew something had happened.

"Hi Mom! I'm back." Gabrielle hurried over towards Wendy.

"Gabrielle! Finally, you're back home." As soon as Wendy saw Gabrielle, she stood up excitedly. She moved closer and held Gabrielle's hand. Even her voice carried a tone of worry and anxiety.

Gabrielle was worried now. She was afraid if something serious had happened to Bryce. Otherwise, Wendy wouldn't be in such a state.

"Mom, calm down. Tell me what happened. Why do you look so worried?" Gabrielle led Wendy back to the sofa. She made her sit and tried to comfort her.

"Gabrielle, I can't calm down now." Wendy looked so distraught and worried. She wasn't able to control her anxiety at all.

"Mom, tell me what happened to Bryce?" Gabrielle did not want to beat around the bush now. She directly asked Wendy about Bryce's condition.

One look at Wendy and it was clear that something had happened to Bryce and it was not a small matter. If it was trivial, Wendy would not be in such a desolate condition.

Lance had said Bryce had disappeared. Perhaps he was really missing, and not hiding. Was it an accident, or was he kidnapped? It was completely unclear and chaotic for her to understand.

"Gabrielle, I want to tell you something. I know you may not be able to forgive me. But please don't hate me for it." Wendy's voice shook as she spoke. She seemed to have lost all her confidence.

Wendy looked terribly sad and dejected, and seemed to be in a mentally unstable state too.

"Mom, just tell me what happened. I won't blame you." Gabrielle was right when she had guessed that something was wrong here.

"Gabrielle, when Bryce eloped with Nellie, they went to Switzerland. I have been in touch with Bryce all this time, but we only contacted in private. After all, he is my son. It's normal for me to worry about him." As she kept speaking, Wendy seemed to become weaker and more dejected.

Gabrielle's face darkened. Well, Bryce was Wendy's son, while she was just a girl adopted from the orphanage by the Jones family.

She realized that this was the essential difference between biological and adopted children. It was a fact that in Wendy's heart, she didn't have a place. Wendy had never treated her as a daughter, not even for a day. She was just Bryce's companion and a tool for the Jones family.

All along she had an idea about Wendy's thoughts and feelings. Still, Gabrielle felt sad when she heard it from Wendy's mouth.

Gabrielle had been raised by the Jones family for twenty years. As a sensible and mature woman, she was always grateful to the Jones family for bringing her up.

"Well mom, what do you want from me now?" Gabrielle said in a calm and composed manner.

It broke her heart. She felt sad, but she pretended to be fine.

"Gabrielle, I know I have always treated you unfairly. You always asked us to look for Bryce and Nellie. And behind everyone's back, I was secretly contacting Bryce. I just want to know if he's fine now. Gabrielle, if you want to blame me, go ahead and blame me. I know it's all my fault. I'm so sorry!" Seeing Gabrielle's face turn darker and darker, Wendy knew that she had really failed her and lost her trust.
