Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 16 She Has Someone She Likes

Gabrielle stared at Wendy’s face for a while. Although her instincts told her that Wendy was hiding something from her. Gabrielle decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.

“Mom, you have to find Bryce and Nellie as soon as possible. As you can see, Westley can be very short-tempered. I’m afraid that if he gets angry at me again, it will be over for both me and the Jones family.” Gabrielle frowned.

She had every reason to be afraid of Westley, After all, who in their right mind would want to get into his bad books?

Wasn’t it a tad bit dubious?

Wendy had no way of finding out what was on Westley’s mind, but she hoped that everything would go as she had expected.

With Gabrielle as his wife, the bond between the Jones and the Morris was now stronger than ever. Their union could prove to be immensely beneficial for the Jones. 2
