Chapter 677 I Am Sorry
The crazy man's wife had always been very special to him. Hence, there was no denying the depth of
his love for her. Joseph took everyone to a fancy restaurant. As the owner of the villa, he had already
arranged a sumptuous banquet.
Five people were seated with Gabrielle around a finely decorated table. This brought their total to six.
She was surprised by the quality of food they were served.
‘Even with a very good appetite, it will still be quite difficult to finish all the dishes,’ she said in her mind.
"This dinner being held tonight is in honor of someone really important. It is the formal welcome
ceremony of Gabrielle who happens to be a member of our family." Joseph raised his glass. He made
the announcement in an official tone.
"We are delighted to have you join us, Gabrielle."
“You are welcome!"
“Do not hesitate to tell us about any problem or challenge you might be confronted with in the course
of staying in Antawood. We will be very glad to be of help." The other three men spoke one after another.
Gabnelle was moved by their very touching words. In the past, she used to feel neglected and had no
real sense of belonging. Her presence was neither noticed nor needed. This was because she was
merely regarded as an adopted daughter of the Jones family. It was as if her thoughts and opinion did not matter.
"Thanks a great deal! I am truly delighted to be a member of this wonderful family." Gabrielle also
raised her glass. She clinked it with every single one of them. It was a gesture that was meant to
signify and express the extent of her gratitude.
Despite being a bitter pill to swallow, the fact that there were so many of Gabrielle's friends in Half
Moon Bay last night, was nothing but the truth. Now Westley's friends were the only ones around her.
These people seemed to have no care in the world. They did whatever pleased them.
"Well, you ought to sit down and eat something first." Westley took Gabrielle by the hand. Then he sat down.
"Kindly accept my sincere apology. It was not my intention to keep you waiting for dinner until now.”
