‘Gabrielle is married?' These words echoed in Jax's head, and his heart sank in shock.
He had heard a little bit about Gabrielle's marriage before, but he didn't know if it was true or not, and he didn't know who her husband was. Because there were no hard proofs, he thought it was just a rumor.
However, now that he heard Gabrielle say it personally, he was shocked to the core.
His entire body felt as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt from nowhere, and he froze on the spot.
"Gabrielle, I've heard of it. But I thought... It was just a rumor." Jax spoke in disbelief.
Regardless of what he had assumed in the past, Jax felt he had no choice but to believe it now that
Gabrielle had confirmed it herself.
Gabrielle was really married.
"No, it's true. Why should I lie about my marriage? I don't have that kind of strange hobby." Gabrielle
gave out an explanation in a calm manner. :
Still, Jax's reaction left her dumbfounded in her heart. After all, why would she lie about something as
serious as a marriage? It was not something to lie or joke about in the first place.
"Some pretended to be single, and of course, some might pretend to be married. I thought...”
"You thought I lied for fun or to save troubles?" Gabrielle calmly continued Jax's sentence.
Without saying anything, Jax just looked at Gabrielle, trying to read her expression in the hope that
she was telling a lie. He did really wish for it to be nothing but just a lie. But, when he saw her calm
and firm expression, he realized his wish was not granted. She didn't appear to be lying at all.
So, Gabrielle was really married.
"Gabrielle, you always keep a low profile. None of us knew when you got married. And what kind of person is your... husband?" Although Jax knew that he had no right to ask Gabrielle about her husband, he couldn't help but want to know who that man was.
After all, he was the one who had won the heart of the beauty, who was known for her cold and
distant demeanor. To be able to marry such a beauty, that person must be something.
"My husband is a good man. He loves me very much, but he is very low-key. We didn't make our — marriage public because | haven't officially graduated yet, and he doesn't want me to be troubled.”
Gabrielle cleared out the other party's curiosity. Despite her calm demeanor, the corners of her lips instinctively raised, and her eyes were filled with tenderness when she mentioned Westley.
It was not like Jax hadn't been in love before. Naturally, he knew what it meant from the look on Gabrielle's face when she mentioned her husband. There was no way she would have such a tender and happy expression on her face if she didn't genuinely love the other person, whether he was her husband or not. She showed such an expression only because she had this person in her heart.
Therefore, Jax felt sure that Gabrielle liked her husband very much.
The look on her face when she mentioned her husband was clear proof. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have that look on her face.
"Gabrielle, | can see that you two are in a good relationship. I am relieved to know that he loves you and treats you very well." Jax knew that he was in no position to say such a thing, but he couldn't help but speak out his mind.
"Yes, he is really good to me. So you don't have to worry about it," Gabrielle said calmly.
Every word she said showed that she was trying to defend her husband. Although these words were
a bit cruel for Jax to hear, he couldn't say anything about it.
"Gabrielle, as long as you are truly happy, I'll be mabey for you." Jax couldn't say anything but give the
couple his blessing. He did have a lot of things he wanted to tell her.
However, the words were stuck in his throat, and he could only swallow them down in the end. He
felt quite painful and uncomfortable inside.
"Thank you, Jax. I'm sorry I have to refuse your proposal to treat my family to breakfast. My husband
will be unhappy." A faint smile appeared on Gabrielle's face. Although she still had a bit of indifference
in her demeanor, she was doing her best to look nice. Sure enough, Jax felt enchanted when he saw
the smile on her face.
