Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 240


    Chapter 240 Don‘t You Like Him


    Upon arriving at the Twillight Hotel, they marveled at how lively and well decorated with balloons and


    flowers the open-air garden was.


    Gabrielle would’ve thought a wedding or engagement party was being held here, if she hadn’t known


    that it was actually Kyl a birthdayparty.


    Kylo had personally seen to the entire nning process of the birthday party. Only after his final


    approval was the team allowed to starymplementing the party and organizingit.


    It was rare for an old man to have such extraordinary tastes; even the balloons were of a metallic red


    and golden color.


    Kylo was very good at staying up-to-date with thetest fashions, sharing the same interests and


    trends as the younger generation.

    Gabrielle took a look at the open-air garden and noticed that most of those 09:57


    present were young. Perhaps the older crowd was talking in the banquet hall inside, or maybe having a


    rest in the hotel room booked for them.


    Gabrielle decided to go to the banquet hall with two pots containing orchids to meet her grandfather in


    order to wish him and give him his birthday gifts.


    When Gabrielle arrived and opened the car door, she saw Wendy standing nearby. However, Tobias


    was not with her, and Wendy looked anxiousp as though she was waiting for someone


    As soon as Gabrielle got ou of the car, Wendy saw her and strod towards her with a smile.


    Gabrielle realized that it was she her mother had been waiting for.


    “Miss Jones, shall I help you carry the orchids in?” Alvin asked, standing beside her.


    “No, thank you. The flowers are not heavy: I can take them myself. Thank you for bringing me here,


    Alvin.” Gabrielle took her bag before holding the two pots of flowers in each of her hands.


    “Miss Jones, you don’t need to be this polite to me. I am following Mr. Morris’s orders to serve you,”


    Alvin said seriously


    “Ah Gabrielle! You’re here!” Wendy enthusiastically walked up to her with a big smile on her face.


    “Hi, Mom!” Gabrielle greeted her mother sweetly.


    “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jones,” A said to Wendy in his usual Polite manner.


    “Isn’t this Mr. Morris’s assistant? Is Mr. Morris here?” Wendy asked Alvin expectantly.


    “No, Mom, Westley isn’t as free as I am. He has other important matters to deal with.” Gabrielle quickly


    spoke over Alvin before he could respond.


    “I’m just asking out of concern. It’s still early, though. The birthday party will only start officially at six


    o’clock. That gives Mr. Morris enough of time to arrive, right?” Although Wendy had a tight smile on her


    face, there was a hint of concern and shrewdness in her eyes.


    She had expected Westley toe with Gabrielle.


    “The Morris Group meeting is a lot more important than this, and he has several more international


    ineetings to attend today. I don’t know if he can finish them by midnight. Like I said, he’s really very


    busy. It’s best not to expect anything from him.” Gabrielle hoped to dispel Wendy’s wishful thinking 50


    she wouldn’t be disappointed.


    Either way, Kylo’s birthday part was such a big affair, with many prominent People present. If Westley


    showed up, it would definitely cause a sensation. –


    WOT


    It would draw a Vot of attention and people would start to gossip and overthink, especially those in the


    Carter family. It also seemed as though Wendy had strategically nned this opportunity in order to


    announce their rtionship to others. ]


    Once the rtionship between Westley and Gabrielle went public, Westley would not divorce Gabrielle


    and get married to Nellie that soon or that easily. Wendy nned to protect Bryce by doing so.


    Wendy knew the kind of man Westley was. He was very vengeful towards his enemies. by making their


    lives unbearable.


    “Gabrielle, why are you being so rude? I just asked because I care about Mr. Morris being here,


    especially as your legal husband. Don’t you think he should be present, as a grandson-inw, to wish


    your grandfather on his birthday?” Wendy’s face darkened.


    “Mom, you are aware of the truth about me and Westley, aren’t you? Our marriage is not important


    enough for him to drop everything and show up as my husband or Greodpa’s grandson-inw. And


    when he loses his temper, will you be the one to protect the Jones family?” Gabrielle kept a calm


    demeanor, but there was a true sadness in her eyes.


    She thought it would be a good thing if Westley wasn’t present at the party.


    She had predicted that her mother would proudly introduce Westley as her son-inw to all the


    rtives in the Carter family, which would only make them envy her


    That would be enough to cause a stir! What Gabrielle hated the most was thepetition and fake


    ttery she sensed between her rtives.


    “Mr. Brooks, it’s understandable if Mr. Morris has no time toe today. Please go back and say hello


    to him for me,” Wendy said politely to Alvin, who had been standing next to them the whole time.


    “Yes, I will convey your greetings to dyr, Morris, Mrs. Jones. I’ll take my leavdow. Goodbye, Miss


    Jones.” Alvin was d to leave the tense atmosphere behund.


    He was d to see Gabrielle was standing up for herseloShe was given a reprieve from the bludying at


    least when Mr. Morris wasn’t around.


    “When you go back, tell Mr. Morris to take care of himself,”


    Gabrielle added.


    She thought of Westley’s workaholic nature, and pitifully hoped he would take a break


    “Sure, Miss Jones.” Alvin got into the car and started it, before driving it away.


    The car left soon.


    “Miss Jones?” Wendy echoed Alvin’s words and gave Gabrielle a caring, but questionable look.


    “Yeah, Mom, what’s the problem? Gabrielle looked back in confusion towards her mother, before


    realizing what Wendy was asking


    “You are already Westley’s legal wife, the young daughter-inw of the Morris family. Why does Mr.


    Hughes still all you Miss Jones? Shouldn’t he call you Mrs. Morris or Madam?” Disappointment and


    concern was etched all overwendy’s face. She was under the impression that Westley and Gabrielle tre


    very happy with one another because their marriage had survived without a divorce for such a long


    time. She had begun to believe that Gabrielle had stolen a special ce in Westley’s heart; however, to


    her surprise, Gabrielle was still being addressed and seen as an outsider in the Morris family


    “Mom, you know the position of Westley’s young wife’s in the Morris family is reserved only for Nellie. It


    does not belong to me. Alvin is Westley’s


    assistant, so he also addresses me the way that Westley requires him to. Is this news to you?”


    Gabrielle began to grow impatient


    It urred to her that she would never be able to take the ce of Mrs. Morris in the family – it had


    never been hers to take. She was only a fake Mrs. Morris, easily reced by others in the future.


    ‘His real wife will always be Nellie or Helena. It’ll never be me, ‘Gabrite thought to herself..


    ‘I know Mom is unhappy,


    sld


    Mom always knew, from die beginning, that Westley married me just to make me suffer for what


    Bryldid. Somewhere, she began to hope that we would indeed end up falling in love and I would be


    Westley’s rightful wife. I’m so upset that she began to believe this herself.’


    “Please don‘t get mad at me, Gabrielle, I’m just anxious. I really hope you can be happy with Westley. I


    hope you are married to a good man and are able to live afortable life in the future. You won’t be


    able to find a man as good as Westley if you ever let him go. Don’t you like him at all?” Wendy asked


    Gabrielle


    hopefully.
