    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 thates 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 ept 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 longerfortable 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 seeded 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 andfortable 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.


    “Why are you in such a hurry o go? Do you have anything to do or you are not happy talking with me?


    Let’s still talk for a few minutes,”


    Wendy said,ining


    “Mom, I am not in a hurry. We’ve been talking for a while already,” she said weakly.


    “Your grandfather’s birthday is in a few days. Do you still remember?” Wendy asked, changing the


    subject. She didn’t want to argue anymore with her.


    “Of course, Mom. I still remember. How can I forget? There are still four or five days left. I will prepare


    the gift in advance.” she said seriously


    Her grandfather was a very lively man who enjoyed thepany of other people. Year in, year out, his


    birthday party had always been magnificent. Although Gabrielle was adopted, he treated her as if she


    was his biological granddaughter


    This was because she was much more well behaved than Mindy.


    For this reason, her cousin, Mindy didn’t want her to go to the Carter family. Gabrielle was always


    called a deceitful woman by her for always wanting to please people around her, but this wasn’t true as


    she didn’t try to please her grandfather or anyone in particr. She just didn’t like causingmotion


    anywhere she was like Mindy did. Anytime she went to the Carter family house, she would behave


    herself well and do as she was instructed. Adults liked obedient children because they didn’t stress


    them. This was what attracted Miley to her.


    “Are you less busy tomorrow? I would like you to follow me to the shopping mall so that we can pick a


    gift for your grandfather and also get you a decent dress so that you don’t disgrace your husband with


    your shabby look during the party,” her mother said bluntly.


    “What do you mean by that statement, Mom?


    she asked with a puzzled look on her face. “What does she mean by saying that I should not disgrace


    my husband? I am going back to the Carter family to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday for heaven’s


    sake! What has that got to do with Westley?’ she


    asked herself silently.


    She ignored her question and said, “You are married to Westley, Gabrielle and it’s your grandfather’s


    birthday. Make sure he goes with you as a grandson-inw. Your grandma will be very happy to see


    him go to the house with you,” Wendy said honestly.


    “Mom, how did grandpa know that I am married?” Gabrielle was a little surprised. She remembered that


    it was only a few people in the Carter family that knew she had married Westley. Except for Mindy and


    Lance, no one else knew about her marriage. Or did Mindy tell her grandfather?


    it


    to


    your


    “Actually, I mentioned grandfather…”


    “Mom, why did you tell him? You know this marriage is fake right from the start. Grandpa will be sad if


    we get a divorce.” Although Gabrielle didn’t like her family very much, she didn’t want to do anything to


    upset her grandfather.


    “If he doesn‘t know that I am married, getting divorced would be pretty much easier,’ she

    thought deeply.


    “Are you tning me, Gabrielle? If I don’t tell your grandfather that you are married already, he will


    appoint a husband for you at his birthday party. I’m very sure of that. I believe you will be happy then,


    won’t you?” Wendy was annoyed.


    Gabrielle knew that she had misunderstood her mother, so she softened the tone of her voice. “Mom, I


    don’t mean to me you. But if grandpa knows that I’m married now, he will be sad when he gets to


    know that I want to get a divorce in the future.”


    “If you don’t want to make him sad, you better not divorce your husband. And tell Westley about your


    grandfather’s birthday and make sure that he goes with you,” she ordered.


    Gabrielle was speechless for some seconds. She didn’t know what to say. She knew that her husband


    wouldn’t agree to go with her. “Mom, he won’t go with me.”


    Thest time they went out together, he went to the Jones family because Miley had forced him to.


    How could he agree this time to go to the Carter family house to celebrate the birthday of her maternal


    grandfather?’


    ‘It is impossible. I know this man. He won’t agree,’ she contemted bitterly,


    “You haven’t even asked him. How do you know he won’t go? Try to ask him about itter. You never


    can tell if he will agree to your request,” Wendy urged her.


    “This girl is always as scared as a mouse. Every time I ask her to do something, she would act like I’m


    sending her to the ughterhouse to get killed, ‘Wendy mused.


    “Okay, Mom. I’ll try.”


    She had no choice but to ept. There was no harm in trying after all.

    “Okay, I’ll give you a call tomorrow to know how it goes. Take care of yourself.” After that, Wendy hung


    up the phone.


    Gabrielle threw the phone aside andy on the bed, exhausted.


    After lying for a few minutes, she decided to go to the hospital to see her friend, Sloane. Although she


    knew that Westley’s guards who were guarding her ward would not let her in, one look at her friend


    would be enough to put her mind at ease.


    As soon as she got changed, she went downstairs. Sophie was preparing the ingredients for lunch.


    Seeing that Gabrielle was about to go out, she asked anxiously. “Gabrielle, where are you going?”


    “Sophie, I won’t have lunch at home. I have an urgent matter to sort out. By the way. I’ll nt the


    flowers from the flower shop when Ie back this afternoon,” she said and left. in a hurry.


    She quickly hailed a taxi and it took her to the hospital directly. On her way to Sloane‘s ward, she saw


    Lanceing out of the emergency building.


    “Lance!” she shouted happily from a distance. She walked closer and stopped him.


    “Gabrielle, why are you here? Are you ill? What’s the matter with you?” Lance asked as he looked all


    over her.


    “I came to see my friend, Sloane. She is still in aa. Why are you in the hospital?


    she asked curiously.


    “I’m also here to visit a friend. Can you take me with you to see Sloane?” Lance asked as he smiled at


    her.


    “Okay, it’s fine. But unfortunately, we may not be able to enter her ward. We can only see her from


    outside.” She stared at him, feeling sorry
