Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Gabrielle Is My Wife

It was no secret that Gabrielle was an adopted daughter of the Jones family. Liana didn’t take the Jones family seriously, let alone Gabrielle, who was even not related to them by blood.

 

At first, Liana insisted on moving the wedding to a later date until they found Nellie. But Westley refused and did not allow anyone to look for her. Since she ran away from the wedding, there was no need to waste time on her. He believed that there were other ways to solve the problem.

 

And his solution was to make Gabrielle a replacement bride, which really made Liana angry.

 

“Aunt Liana, don’t worry. Of course, I will bring her with me when I visit you,” Austin said while fixing his eyes on Gabrielle. He had been staring at her for a long time.

 

Westley noticed it. It seemed that Austin and Gabrielle didn’t only know each other, but they also had a good relationship. Could it be that he underestimated her? Was she really good at seducing men?

 

She looked pure and innocent on the surface. But who knew? She could be dissolute and sultry in nature.

 

“The woman you like must be excellent. Whose daughter is she?” Liana commented with a smile as she squinted at Austin.

 

“Actually, I don’t have a girlfriend yet. But as soon as I have, I’ll definitely take her to visit and meet you all.” As Austin spoke, he glanced at Gabrielle from time to time.

 

Others might not have noticed it, but Westley saw it clearly.

 

And he could tell that there was a trace of admiration in Austin’s eyes.

 

He turned to Gabrielle and handed her an empty glass. “Gabrielle, get me a glass of water.”

 

Gabrielle was stunned for a moment. It was the first time that Westley called her name this gently, and it sounded so intimate in her ears.

 

“Okay.” When she came back to her senses, she took the glass and filled it with water.

 

Actually, it was only Westley’s way to make Gabrielle avoid Austin’s gaze.

 

“You are an adult now. Don’t you know how to get water for yourself? Why do you have to let Gabrielle do it for you? You can even ask a servant to do it. You have just gotten married, but you’re already starting to bully her.” The old lady was not pleased with Westley’s behavior, so she immediately scolded him.

 

“It’s all right, Grandma. I’m willing to get some water for him,” Gabrielle said with a smile as she handed back the glass to Westley.

 

He drank the water leisurely.

 

“Well, since I can see that the two of you really love each other so much, I won’t meddle in your relationship anymore. Now that I’ve seen my granddaughter-in-law, I think it’s time for me to go back to my room and have some rest. If you guys want to stay for lunch, you can stay. If not, you can do whatever you want,” the old lady said to Gabrielle before she asked someone to help her go back to her room.

 

Soon, there were only a few people left in the living room.

 

Westley was also about to stand up when Liana stopped him immediately. “Westley, come with me to my room.”

 

She seemed very angry. After saying that, she gave Gabrielle a cold glance. Probably, Gabrielle already had an idea what she was going to say to him.

 

Westley looked at Gabrielle indifferently, stood up, and followed Liana upstairs without even saying a word.

 

Gabrielle was left alone in the living room, sitting like an abandoned orphan. Then suddenly, a tall figure blocked her sight.

 

“Hey, Gabrielle. Would you mind if I show you around in the yard?” Austin said, looking at her.

 

She looked up and met his eyes. He was the only person she was familiar with in the Morris’ Mansion right now. After all, only the elders were here today. The younger members of the Morris family didn’t show up except him.

 

“It’s okay with me, Austin. But I may trouble you,” she said with a smile.

 

Gabrielle was worried that she might bother Austin, but she also felt a little suffocated sitting there alone.

 

She must have sat down for so long that she didn’t realize her feet had already gotten sore. They hurt when she stood up, and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Austin quickly stretched out his arms to support her.

 

“Gabrielle, what’s wrong with your feet? Is is that your shoes don’t fit well?” Austin had notice
