    Chapter 4 Gabrielle Is My Wife


    It was no secret that Gabrielle was an adopted daughter of the Jones family. Liana didn’t take the


    Jones family seriously, let alone Gabrielle, who was even not rted to them by blood.


    At first, Liana insisted on moving the wedding to ater date until they found Nellie. But Westley


    refused and did not allow anyone to look for her. Since she ran away from the wedding, there was no


    need to waste time on her. He believed that there were other ways to solve the problem.


    And his solution was to make Gabrielle a recement bride, which really made Liana angry.


    “Aunt Liana, don’t worry. Of course, I will bring her with me when I visit you,” Austin said while fixing his


    eyes on Gabrielle. He had been staring at her for a long time.


    Westley noticed it. It seemed that Austin and Gabrielle didn’t only know each other, but they also had a


    good rtionship. Could it be that he underestimated her? Was she really good at seducing men?


    She looked pure and innocent on the surface. But who knew? She could be dissolute and sultry in


    nature.


    “The woman you like must be excellent. Whose daughter is she?” Lianamented with a smile as


    she squinted at Austin.


    “Actually, I don’t have a girlfriend yet. But as soon as I have, I’ll definitely take her to visit and meet you


    all.” As Austin spoke, he nced at Gabrielle from time to time.


    Others might not have noticed it, but Westley saw it clearly.


    And he could tell that there was a trace of admiration in Austin’s eyes.


    He turned to Gabrielle and handed her an empty ss. “Gabrielle, get me a ss of water.”


    Gabrielle was stunned for a moment. It was the first time that Westley called her name this gently, and


    it sounded so intimate in her ears.


    “Okay.” When she came back to her senses, she took the ss and filled it with water.


    Actually, it was only Westley’s way to make Gabrielle avoid Austin’s gaze.


    “You are an adult now. Don’t you know how to get water for yourself? Why do you have to let Gabrielle


    do it for you? You can even ask a servant to do it. You have just gotten married, but you’re already


    starting to bully her.” The olddy was not pleased with Westley’s behavior, so she immediately


    scolded him.


    “It’s all right, Grandma. I’m willing to get some water for him,” Gabrielle said with a smile as she handed


    back the ss to Westley.


    He drank the water leisurely.


    “Well, since I can see that the two of you really love each other so much, I won’t meddle in your


    rtionship anymore. Now that I’ve seen my granddaughter-inw, I think it’s time for me to go back to


    my room and have some rest. If you guys want to stay for lunch, you can stay. If not, you can do


    whatever you want,” the olddy said to Gabrielle before she asked someone to help her go back to


    her room.


    Soon, there were only a few people left in the living room.


    Westley was also about to stand up when Liana stopped him immediately. “Westley,e with me to


    my room.”


    She seemed very angry. After saying that, she gave Gabrielle a cold nce. Probably, Gabrielle


    already had an idea what she was going to say to him.


    Westley looked at Gabrielle indifferently, stood up, and followed Liana upstairs without even saying a


    word.


    Gabrielle was left alone in the living room, sitting like an abandoned orphan. Then suddenly, a tall


    figure blocked her sight.


    “Hey, Gabrielle. Would you mind if I show you around in the yard?” Austin said, looking at her.


    She looked up and met his eyes. He was the only person she was familiar with in the Morris’ Mansion


    right now. After all, only the elders were here today. The younger members of the Morris family didn’t


    show up except him.


    “It’s okay with me, Austin. But I may trouble you,” she said with a smile.


    Gabrielle was worried that she might bother Austin, but she also felt a little suffocated sitting there


    alone.


    She must have sat down for so long that she didn’t realize her feet had already gotten sore. They hurt


    when she stood up, and she almost lost her bnce. Fortunately, Austin quickly stretched out his arms


    to support her.


    “Gabrielle, what’s wrong with your feet? Is is that your shoes don’t fit well?” Austin had notice


    d that her feet looked a little strange today. She couldn’t even walk steadily.


    He could only think of two reasons. It was either her feet were injured, or her shoes didn’t fit her.


    “These shoes are a half size smaller, so they don’t fit my feet well,” Gabrielle honestly said, feeling a


    little embarrassed.


    “How silly you are! Why did you squeeze your feet in a pair of smaller shoes? It must hurt a lot. Take


    that off.” Austin couldn’t help but urge her to take the shoes off.


    He understood it now. She was just a temporary recement bride. The dress and the shoes must


    have been prepared for Nellie.


    She and Nellie had the same body size, but their shoe sizes were different. That was why the shoes


    didn’t fit her. But why did she just endure it? She could have requested a different pair of shoes that


    really fitted her well.


    Gabrielle couldn’t help blushing as she looked around the living room uneasily.


    The elders of the Morris family were not there anymore. She could only see some servants walking


    back and forth.


    “Austin, I don’t think it’s a good idea to…”


    “Are you going to take them off, or should I do it for you?” Austin threatened her.


    “I… I will do it myself.” The truth was, Gabrielle had been wanting to take off the shoes for a long time.


    As expected, her white and tender toes had some blisters, and the skin on her heels was scraped.


    Although they were not bleeding, his heart ached when he saw the streaks of blood.


    “Does it hurt? I’ll ask the servant to bring some medicine here.” Austin stood up and approached one


    servant nearby. He then turned around and walked out of the living room.


    When he came back, he was already holding a shoebox in his hands.


    “After the servant treats your wound, wear these,” he said while carefully taking the shoes out of the


    box.


    It was a pair of white low-heeled shoes, and Gabrielle immediately recognized them at a nce.


    “Austin, aren’t these…” The shoes were the ones she tried in the mallst time. At that time, she liked


    them so much that she didn’t even want to take them off her feet. But she didn’t dare to buy them


    because they were too expensive for her.


    As an adopted daughter, the Jones family didn’t give her much allowance, so she definitely couldn’t


    afford such expensive shoes. She had to take them off reluctantly.


    “Miah has left these shoes in my car. It’s either she has forgotten about them, or she doesn’t want them


    anymore. Good thing you have the same shoe size. They will fit your feet well, I’m sure.” Austin put the


    shoes in front of her. If he could, he wanted to personally help her put them on. But he was also


    thinking that people around might misunderstand it.


    Gabrielle was still a little worried.


    Miah Foster was Austin’s sister. As a daughter of an affluent family, she must be used to living avish


    life.


    Although Miah was nice to her and treated her well, she still felt a little embarrassed to wear her shoes.


    “Austin, I don’t think it’s a good idea. If Miah knows about this, she will be unhappy.” She had to turn


    down Austin’s offer.

    “Well, if she remembers them and looks for them, I’ll tell her that I’ve thrown them away. Don’t worry. I


    willpensate her with two more pairs,” Austin said with a smile.


    Actually, the shoes were really the ones Gabrielle tried on when they went to a jewelry exhibitst time.


    He knew that she liked them so much, but she couldn’t afford to buy them, so he secretly bought them


    for her. Miah had nothing to do with them at all.


    He just didn’t get the chance to give them to her. And now that he had the opportunity, but they were in


    an embarrassing situation, so of course, he couldn’t tell her the truth.


    Gabrielle was no longer the same person he knew. She was now his sister-inw.


    “You don’t have topensate for her. I should be the one to do that. Gabrielle is my wife, after all.


    Since she borrows Miah’s shoes, then let me pay Miah back.” All of a sudden, Westley’s voice was


    heard from the stairs.


    Gabrielle subconsciously raised her head and saw himing down the stairs with a cold expression


    and dark eyes.


    She couldn’t help but shrink back when her eyes met his.
