Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 108 Selfish Desire

Gabrielle felt sad about what Wendy had said. She sat on the edge of her bed with her phone still pressed to her ear. She held her head in her other hand worriedly. Although she was sad and angry, she decided not to say anything more to her mother. Besides, what she had just said proved to her that she hadn’t been on her toes looking for her son, Bryce right from time.

If she had counted solely on her to find Bryce, she would probably be dead by now because Westley would have tortured her to death. “Waiting on this woman isn’t worth it at all, she thought bitterly as she shook her head.

T’ll just do what I have to do without relying on anybody to help me. After all, nobody cares if I die or not,’ she muttered to herself.

“Mom, I’m just telling you this so that you can find my brother as soon as possible. If my opinion doesn’t matter to you, you can as well forget about it.” Her voice was filled with

Wendy tried to calm her down. “I’m doing this for your good, Gabrielle. Now that you and Westley are both married, why don’t you use this golden opportunity to make your husband fall in love with you? If you do, you’ll enjoy endless wealth and honor. Don’t

you know the kind of respect that comes with being a member of the Morris family? If you divorce him, you’ll be a divorced woman for life. Which other rich family do you think will accept you?”

Her mother’s way of thinking made her unable to oppose her. Her thinking was just too shallow

‘What does she mean by saying that a divorced woman couldn’t marry into a rich family again? Does she think that I am like her? All she thinks about is getting married into a rich family. Is this what life is all about?’ she asked herself deeply.

If she became Westley’s ex-wife, no one would want to marry her again, not to eveni mention a rich family. But then, she didn’t

For this reason, as soon as Bryce and Nellie came back, she would divorce Westley immediately and relocate to an entirely different city. 3

She was no longer comfortable being here. She was just being used for people’s selfish desires. U

When she saw that her daughter didn’t oppose her, Wendy thought that she had succeeded in convincing her, so she quickly continued since it looked like she was hitting

the nail right on the head. “Gabrielle, as I said earlier, I’m saying all these for your good. Although you’re not my biological child, I raised you for twenty years and I still care about you so much. Like your mother, you are dear to me and I hope that you can live a happy and comfortable life.”

“I know that you are doing this for me, Mom. But I’m pleading with you on my knees, please try harder to find my brother. I can’t keep staying where I’m not wanted,” she said and paused for a while. “If there’s nothing else to talk about, I have to go.” Gabrielle said as she was about to hang up.
