Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 97

They were still sitting in Westley's office. The air in the office was tensed. Jonas was still in total shock, wondering when Westley got married without his knowledge. 'This can't be true. When exactly did this happen? Who was the bride?' he asked himself silently.

Without a doubt, the bride being talked about was Gabrielle who was made to atone for the sins of the Jones. But it was very obvious that he didn't know her. Holding a glass of wine, Westley stared at him silently with a troubled look all over his face.

"Westley can you stop staring at me in that manner?" Jonas said. "You're staring at me like a lion who wants to mount on his prey. It's very creepy and you're making me feel uncomfortable." He felt uneasy with the way Westley peered at him. 'Why should he look at me in such a manner as if he wants to eat me up?' he reasoned.

"Actually, he is a fox, not a lion. They are two different types of animals," Remy said to Jonas as he took a sip of his wine and looked at him knowingly.

'Remy is right. Westley is as cunning as a fox, ' he reasoned. 'He looks fierce and had a lot of evil plans going on in his head. Whoever got in his way and was chased after by him would be unlucky.' He shook his head.

He took a mouthful of wine from his glass and looked at Westley sadly. "Westley, you must be lying to me by telling me that you're married. Well, if truly you're married, where is your wife now? By the way, who is she? I'm sure you can't tell me because there is no bride, right? You're just a liar!" Jonas yelled angrily. "If you don't want to marry my sister, Carol, I would understand. I won't even blame you at all because I've always known that you both are not compatible. She is too beautiful and innocent to be associated with a cunning and frightening man like you."

He wasn't drunk yet, but he was already talking like someone who was.

"Gabrielle Jones," Westley said calmly.

"What did you say? What Jones?" Jonas didn't hear the name.

"Gabrielle Jones. That's the name of his wife," Remy repeated the name on behalf of Westley when he saw that he didn't want to say it again.

"Gabrielle? Why am I just hearing about her for the first time? Where did you find her? How did you both meet? I don't want to believe that you, Westley, will just marry a woman out of nowhere. What's the connection between you two? We've been friends for a long time and you should know that even if you can fool Carol, you can't fool me," he said with a wave of the hand. How could he believe that Westley got married and he wasn't aware?

He knew Westley very well and knew that it was not possible for him to just marry a woman out of the blues.

"Look, Jonas. Gabrielle is my wife, not 'a woman out of nowhere'. She has an identity. The sooner you understand that, the better." He was upset about how Jonas kept saying "out of nowhere".

Jonas looked at Westley in utter amazement. He drank up the wine in his glass and looked at him again, still in shock. "Westley, are you still the same Westley that I know? I'm surprised because the Westley I know will never defend a woman. Never! Tell me who this woman is. I want to know her. Which Jones is she from?"

Jonas had tried his best to search for her but failed.

So which wealthy family did this woman come from?' he thought deeply. Because he knew that his friend wouldn't marry someone from the lower class.

'Thinking about the whole issue now, I'm sure he wouldn't have married a woman out of anywhere because he has a very high taste. Besides, the Morris won't agree, ' he mused.

But with the way Westley behaved now, it was obvious that he not only married her but was also defending her. It looked as if the woman held a very special place in his heart.

The more he tried unraveling the myste

ry in his mind, the more curious he became. He wanted to see this woman. He wanted to know who she was and how she had captured the heart of his friend. All of a sudden, he thought of something and turned towards Remy's direction. "Tell me the truth, Remy. Did you know about this from the very beginning?"

Remy didn't say a word, but stared at him with an evil-looking smile on his face.

"I just need to know the truth, Remy. Did you know all about this?" he asked him once more. In the blink of an eye, Jonas stood up angrily and shouted at Remy. He didn't have the guts to shout at Westley, so he poured his anger on Remy. Besides, he had a much better temper than that of Westley.
