Lock You In My Heart

Seeing the two of them bickering again, Gabrielle thought they would get along well through those petty quarrels. They would
probably make best friends out of each other.
“It looks like you aren’t doing so bad recovering, Doctor Maniac. If you follow up your rehabilitation well and consistently, you’ll
walk within no time,” Gabrielle encouraged him.
“Gabrielle, this ought to be the finest present he’s ever gotten.” Rose grinned.
“Just stop with the bickering. I bet you’re starving. Let’s eat lunch together.” Gabrielle invited them.
“We are hungry. We knew you would show up today. Since we wanted to eat together, we waited for you. Did you bring the child
with you? You didn’t leave him, did you?” Rose asked Gabrielle.
“Yes, I brought him back. Star is upstairs, sleeping.” Gabrielle escorted them to the seats.
“Rose, Doctor Maniac, Westley and I will return to the Morris’ Mansion for dinner. We will be back later and we could celebrate it
together. As a result, you, Sophie, and Neil will have supper here and look after Star for us. Is that a good idea?” Gabrielle asked
them what they thought.
“I can’t disagree. Anyhow, I am alone. I can eat wherever. I got no home, and it’s not a must that I go home for the family
gathering.” Rose smiled faintly.
Since she lost her one and only sister, Rose was homeless.
“Hey, Rose, don’t be so discouraged. Consider this your home from now on, forever. Okay?” Gabrielle stated solemnly to Rose.
Rose said Gabrielle resembled her younger sister, so to Gabrielle Rose was an elder sister.
“Okay, I’ll call this wonderful place my home from now on. Every year, it’s a wonderful idea to have the gathering here,” Rose
said seriously.
“Let’s eat.”
fter lunch, Rose accompanied Gabrielle to see Star. Sophie and the others began decorating the house ahead of the celebration.
“Gabrielle, you have a beautiful child. To say the least, the mixed-blood child is beautiful. I’m not sure if I can have such in the
future.” Admiring Star’s sweet face, Rose couldn’t help joking.

“Rose, you will do whatever you want in this world. Just wait for the right time to come,” Gabrielle said coolly. Gabrielle was
honestly unconcerned about Rose’s personal life. All in all, everyone had various opinions. “Rose, I have to get this call.”
Gabrielle’s phone rang then. By the time she returned, Alvin had replaced a new SIM card for her. The phone number she used
in Antawood was valid again. Wendy was the one calling. “Hi, mom.” Gabrielle answered the phone from the balcony. “Gabrielle,
you’re finally ready to pick up the phone and call me mom. Tell me what you and Westley did.
Are you going to be happy when the Jones family falls into shambles because of you?” Wendy unleashed a deluge of abuse on
her. Bryce was still injured, so definitely Wendy was furious. On top of that, she could not get in touch with Gabrielle. Of course,
she was enraged now that she had finally contacted Gabrielle.
Despite the fact that Gabrielle comprehended Wendy’s eelings, she would never tolerate Wendy’s method of speaking to her.
“Mom, maybe you should ask Bryce about this matter. I’ve been the victim from the start to the end,” Gabrielle said coldly. “I don’t
get it. How are you the victim here? Don’t you appreciate marrying Westley?” Wendy was enraged. “Did I marry him willingly in
the first place? If I disagreed with the marriage, the Jones family would no more exist. It’s all on Bryce, leave me out of it.”
Gabrielle almost terminated the phone call due to the anger that boiled inside her.
“Gabrielle, okay, okay, okay. It’s all on your brother. I didn’t call to talk about that with you. I called to ask you where Westley is
hiding Nellie. Is he still intending to
marry that woman?” Wendy had nearly forgotten the main reason as to why she was calling today, so she hastily softened her
tone.
She was calling Gabrielle to inquire about Nellie’s whereabouts. The Collins family was also seeking Nellie. Bearing in mind that
Nellie carried Bryce’s child, and once the child was born, Nellie would have no choice but to marry Bryce.
If the Collins family found her first, Nellie would end up aborting the pregnancy forcefully.
By all means, Wendy was adamantly opposed to the idea.
That meant that she had to find Nellie before the Collins family.
“What hiding? I know nothing about that. Besides, it’s quite clear that Westley is currently my husband. He won’t be marrying
Nellie any time soon or ever at all.” Gabrielle’s heart swelled with irritation.
She couldn’t tell what on earth was on Wendy’s mind. In what way would Westley marry Nellie again?

“It’s only right that Westley won’t marry Nellie. She carries your brother’s child in her womb, which is automatically the bloodline
of the Jones family. Please help me find her and let her give birth to the baby,” Wendy said anxiously.
“Mom, is it the child you want this bad, or do you just want to have something on the Collins family? To bully them into marrying
Nellie to the Jones family?” Gabrielle asked coldly.
Wendy was taken aback by Gabrielle’s question. She didn’t see it coming. “Of... of course I want that child. Its part and parcel of
the Jones family bloodline,” Wendy said emphatically. “If she doesn’t marry Bryce, and the child is born, will you provide for the
child?” Gabrielle asked coldly. The problem was a real one. After all, the Collins family took their daughter as a means to make a
profit. If they still wanted to exploit Nellie anyhow, who could stop them? “What exactly do you mean? Would it hurt if you said
something nice? Do you just wish Bryce doesn’t marry a decent ife?” Wendy almost scolded Gabrielle. She was an unthankful
girl.
She seemed unwilling to see the Jones family do better in the future. If marriage linked the Jones and Collins family, the Jones
family would be on a higher level. However, Gabrielle saw things differently. She must wish that the two families would never be
connected through marriage. She had never come across such an atrocious girl. “I’m only being honest. Dealing with the Collins
family is not an easy task. They can stack profits by playing around with the Morris family for years.
You don’t believe that they will be interested in the Jones family, do you? I do know that the Collins amily and the Jones family
are working together to find Nellie and battle Westley. But mom, the Collins family despises the Jones family. Take care not to let
the Collins family catch the Jones family off guard in the future. Westley won’t be of any help to you then,” Gabrielle pointed out
to Wendy seriously. She didn’t want to see the Jones family get deceived and blindsided.
There was no way that was right. “Gabrielle, what are you trying to tell me?” “Mom, I simply wanted to caution you to watch out
how you interact with the Collins family. After all, you have looked after me for twenty years. Despite the fact that we are not
connected by blood, we have an indisputable family affection. I have lived with the Jones family for twenty years. I want it to
continue living in one piece. It’s the holiday for family gathering. Don’t get mad, we are celebrating it. By the way, if you want us
to return for a regular visit, I’ll accompany Westley. If you are unwilling to see us, then we won’t be getting back. You deserve to
be happy over the festival.” Gabrielle clarified everything.
“I don’t want to see you!” Wendy then hung up the phone angrily.
