Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 687

 

Jax felt embarrassed when Gabrielle dodged his hand, but he didn't show it on his face as he covered

 

up with a smile.

 

"Gabrielle, you look like you are about to fall any second. Can't I even help you?" Jax rubbed his nose

 

slightly to ease his embarrassment.

 

He just wanted to help her, seeing how she was wobbling, but Gabrielle dodged. He felt a little sad.

 

However, he mustered up a smile and chose to respect her. After all, he had never thought of doing

 

anything that could make her unhappy.

 

"No, thanks, Jax. I'm not drunk yet. Don't worry." Gabrielle waved her hand and smiled at him.

 

Although her smile looked very gentle as usual, Jax knew that it was a complete refusal to him.

 

He didn't say anything more and just followed her out while keeping his distance from her.

 

At the sight of this scene, people began to criticize, "How hypocritical she is!"

 

“She is so proud and arrogant even though she is nothing more than an adopted daughter."

 

“Don't talk about her so carelessly. Have you heard of what happened to Emily? Because she had a

 

fight with Gabrielle, the Garcia family is nearly unable to keep a foothold in Antawood."

 

Due to this, the girls who liked to gossip didn't dare to do so anymore. This incident had been known

 

by almost everyone in Alorith University.

 

Even though they felt happy that someone as — as Emily was expelled from university, they

 

didn't want the same thing to happen to them.

 

It was obvious that the misfortune of Emily had something to do with Gabrielle, so they'd better watch

 

their mouth.

 

It could be assumed that Gabrielle's background was very powerful. Otherwise, Austin and Jax

 

wouldn't have been protecting and courting her this.

 

‘Forget it. Anyway, we'd better watch our mouth. Don't gossip about others or the consequence would

 

be unimaginable.’

 

As soon as Gabrielle and Jax walked out, a man in a black suit came out from under the shade of a tree.

 

The moment Gabrielle saw the man's face, a grin ese on her face and she rushed to him happily.

 

“Honey, are you here to pick me up?"

 

Gabrielle was so excited to see Westley when Jax, who was standing next to her a moment ago, had disbelief expression on his face.

 

in Antawood. He was like a celebrity who was more famous than the world stars.

"Mr. Morris, didn't expect that you would be Gabrielle's husband. It's so unexpected to meet you here.

Nice to meet you. I'm Jax, Gabrielle's classmate." Jax stretched his hand out as he greeted Westley —

seriously.

However, Westley had no intention of shaking hands with Jax at all. He just glanced at him coldly and

replied nothing.

Of course, Westley knew the identity of Jax and what he had been up to. This was the man who had confessed his love to Gabrielle, but was refused.

For a person like Westley, it was impossible for him not to know about the men who tried to get close to his wife. If they dared to have any ill intention towards Gabrielle, he would ask someone to deal with them immediately.

There was no way he would let anyone dangerous get close to his wife again.

His current impression of Jax was that he seemed to be a moral man as he hadn't done anything

getting out of line. If not, he would have dealt with him.

"Mr. Nelson, thank you for sending my wife to me." After a pause, Westley briefly said before holding Gabrielle in his arms. His intention was clear, he didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"You're welcome, Mr. Morris. Please take good care of Gabrielle. She drank a few glasses of wine and got a bit tipsy." For a smart person like Jax, he naturally could read Westley's attitude. He knew that Westley looked down on people like him. So, he might as well stop trying to talk to him.

After all, how could a nobody like him attract the attention of a big shot like Westley?

In fact, Jax was wrong. It was not that Westley looked down upon him. It was just that Westley knew

he liked Gabrielle secretly. That was why Westley purposefully ignored him.

Towards another man who had a secret crush on his wife, wouldn't it be ridiculous if he acted friendly

to him?

No way! He wasn't willing to.

"Okay, Mr. Nelson. I'll take Gabrielle back." He didn't have much time to talk to Jax either because he wanted to take Gabrielle back to their room and make her comfortable as soon as possible.

Westley knew that Gabrielle was drunk the moment she pounced on him. He could smell the strong alcohol scent on her, but he wasn't surprised at all. After all, he had been standing under the tree for a while and witnessed Gabrielle drinking from afar.

“Honey, let's go back. Carry me, will you?" Gabrielle put her arms around his neck and whined, acting like a spoiled child. She had completely relaxed her vigilance now that she was with Westley

It was the first time that Jax had seen Gabrielle behave like this and he was stunned for a moment.

Only in front of the person she loved so much would she relax so naturally as she completely trusted that person.

“Alright, I'll carry you back." Westley lifted Gabrielle up agilely as if she weighed nothing before walking away in long strides

Even after they disappeared into the corner, Jax stood there alone for a long time, staring straight at the direction they left. His mind was full of thoughts.

Never in a million years would he have thought that the husband of Gabrielle would possibly be Westley.

It could be seen that the relationship between Gabrielle and Westley was really good and they loved each other to the extreme. Realizing this, Jax sincerely wanted to wish them happiness, but he was not willing to. After all, he had had a crush on Gabrielle for such a long time.
