Lock You In My Heart

In fact, when Wendy was talking with Gabrielle on the phone, Tobias happened to hear their conversation. So, he also heard that Wendy didn’t allow Gabrielle to come back for the family reunion. He assumed that she wasn’t willing to welcome them if Gabrielle decided to visit.

He naturally knew the reason of her hostility towards Gabrielle and Westley. Bryce was seriously injured this time, and he still hadn’t completely recovered yet. His legs were injured so badly that he couldn’t even walk.

However, the reason why Bryce was so badly injured was that he took the initiative to provoke Westley whose ex-fiancée was Nellie. He had been betrayed by them. How could such a proud person like Westley let them go after what they did?

Therefore, it could be said that Bryce had it coming for him. Now, Westley was the son-in-law of the Jones family. It could be said that Westley held himself back for the sake of Gabrielle, or else the punishment for Bryce would have been death.

Wendy hadn’t witnessed the ruthless side of Westley, but Tobias knew him well. Anyone in the business circle of Antawood knew better than to offend the members of the Morris family.

If only Tobias had known that the woman Bryce liked was Nellie, Tobias would have stopped Bryce’s foolish infatuation while using any method. He would have forced Bryce to marry another woman instead.

Now, what was done had been done and there was no way for Tobias to correct the mistakes Bryce had made.

Things had ended up like this and it was too late no matter how regretful Tobias felt. So, what he needed to do now was to please Westley and create a good relationship between the Jones family and Westley as soon as possible. He could only hope that Westley could let go of the grudge he had towards Jones family, counting the fact that he was now the son-in-law of the Jones family.

didn’t invite the couple to come back for the regular visit, utilizing such a good opportunity, but instead even forbad them from visiting. It really pissed off Tobias. Because of Wendy, he had to call Gabrielle hurriedly to make up

welcome them if they came. So, why should

be able to invite him. This time, it was obvious that the other party wasn’t willing to see

hope you understand her at this time based on the situation these days. Since your brother was seriously injured, she is dealing with a lot of negative emotions now,” Tobias explained anxiously, persuading her to come back. He couldn’t let go of this opportunity to mend the things between the two sides. In order to

“Of course, I can understand her emotions. But I have to admit that Bryce deserved it. What’s more, Westley didn’t hurt him at all. It was because of his own actions that Bryce fell into so much trouble,” Gabrielle couldn’t help justifying Westley as she thought that Westley didn’t deserve such treatment from the Jones family. Besides, she didn’t sympathize with Bryce at all, nor was she willing to cater to their attitudes towards her and Westley. Even though they seemed to think that it

deserved it. But now, you and Westley are married. It should be a natural etiquette for you to come back to visit your parents during the holiday. I am looking forward to celebrating the festival with you. If you really don’t want to come back, just forget it. I will take that as the Jones family ‘ust raised a daughter in vain.” Tobias intentionally spoke these words as he wanted to use the topic of filial piety to force Gabrielle to obey. “Dad, I didn’t mean that way, but what can I do when mom considers me and Westley as her enemy? If we go back home, it will only make everyone unhappy. Is this how you want this family reunion to go?” Gabrielle didn’t like how this conversation was going as she felt that she was being called as a person who was without a sense of gratitude. fter all, Tobias was making it sound as if they were being unfilial for not visiting them. He meant that she was

weak at heart when it came to the matter of the Jones family. She asn’t the kind of person who would be heartless enough to disregard the grace of the Jones family for raising her in the past twenty years. There was no way she would take the initiative to break up with them

so I have to go. Happy holiday, Dad.” After saying that, Gabrielle didn’t wait

was the biggest pocket money that Gabrielle got every year. At the same time, for Tobias, it was only at such time of the year that he had a very justified reason to give her a big amount of pocket money. After all, Wendy was the one who controlled the pocket money of

son of the Jones family, Bryce had the best of everything. If he went out to have dinner with his friends, he would go to high-end restaurants without any worry. With a credit card, he could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars casually and Wendy wouldn’t even make a complaint or have any problem with that. In contrary, if Gabrielle asked her for at most 1000$ to buy something, she
