Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 605

After hanging up the phone with Wendy, Gabrielle didn't want to say or think about anything. She stood on the spot in a daze.

She knew, better than anyone, how much Wendy hated her. Wendy believed Gabrielle was the reason for the Jones family's misfortune -- including Bryce's injury. She believed that Gabrielle wanted to destroy their family.

Wendy would always find a way to condemn Gabrielle.

However, despite knowing the woman's intentions, Gabrielle was still disappointed that she hadn't welcomed her to visit the Jones family.

It was the first year Gabrielle couldn't spend the public holiday with the Jones family. She had originally planned to take Westley to the Jones family.

It was cold outside. Gabrielle had been in the room, so she didn't wear a coat -- she was in a simple white sweater. The chilly breeze whipped her as she was standing on the balcony. Her body began to tremble.

Her heart sank with dejection as she yearned for family affection. She braced herself and stared into the distance.

Just then, she felt a warm blanket around her. Strong hands grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"What's wrong? Why did you come out to the balcony? Gosh, it's so cold here!" Westley whispered in her ear.

"Nothing. I just got a call from Mrs. Jones." Gabrielle tried to sound calm to make sure Westley didn't worry about her.

Hearing that, Westley frowned. He cupped Gabrielle's cheeks and looked at her. It seemed obvious that she wasn't happy.

"Are you really okay?" Westley eyed her with concern.

"Honey, don't worry. I'm fine. Have you prepared gifts for the Morris family?" Gabrielle tried to change the topic.

"Yes, I have. We will go back to the old house soon. Grandma will be very happy to see you." Westley ruffled her hair.

"Yes, I miss grandma too. It's been a long time since I saw her. I wonder if she is mad at me." Gabrielle's face flushed with embarrassment.

After all, Miley was nice to her. She feared that the old woman would be mad at her for not visiting them often.

"Grandma won't be angry with you. She would be so happy to see you. How can she be angry?" Westley kissed her forehead.

"Well, I hope she isn't mad at me." Gabrielle smiled.

"Gabrielle, do you want to send the gift to the Jones family today, or shall we give it to them tomorrow?" asked Westley.

Gabrielle was stunned.

She hadn't thought about how to deal with the gift for the Jones family. After all, Wendy didn't let them go for their routine visit on the public holiday.

Gabrielle was not in the mood to go back. She didn't know what to do now.

"Westley, Mrs. Jones said we don't need to go back. Arrange for someone to send the gift to them. After all, you've become the son in law of the Jones family," Gabrielle finally said after a long pause.

Hearing that, Westley understood why his wife was sad. It turned out that it was because of Wendy forbidding them from visiting the Jones family.

After all, Gabrielle would want to go back to her parents' home and spend time with them during such an occasion.

"Gabrielle, if you want to go back, I'll take you. Let's see who can stop us," Westley said coldly.

Gabrielle didn't doubt Westley's words at all, for he had access to every place in Antawood.
