Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 348


    Chapter 348 Where Did You Hear That


    Gabrielle received a phone call from Wendy while Westley was taking a bath.


    She didn’t want to answer it in all honesty, because she knew full well that the reason Wendy was


    contacting her was because of Bryce.


    Thus, aside from asking things about that man, there was nothing else they would normally talk about.


    “What’s up, Mom?” Gabrielle greeted calmly. But if one were to listen carefully to her tone, they would


    notice that she was somewhat impatient.


    “Are you up. Gabrielle?” Wendy was now more polite to Gabrielle, and her once exasperated behavior


    towards thetter had all but disappeared.

    In the past, she was always picking on Gabrielle just because she was her stepmother, and she held


    no motherly love for her.


    At present, the reason Wendy was being so nice to Gabrielle was because she needed her help.


    Perhaps she had never expected this to happen. u


    “Yes, Mom. Get to the point. What do you want?” Gabrielle had never liked beating around the bush.


    “Are you still going to the studio today. Gabrielle? In that case, let’s have lunch together. By the way. do


    you remember that I bought a set of jewelry for you a few days ago? I brought it backst time. –


    Wendy’s attitude had changed drastically. Now, she was much gentler than before.


    Gabrielle had almost forgotten that Wendy kept on insisting that she picked a jewelry as a form of


    dowry, and it had been left in the store, so that her name could be engraved in it.


    Truthfully, Gabrielle was never fond of that jewelry. Aside from that, she hadn’t received any calls from


    the store yet, causing her to forget about it. It turned out that Wendy had already taken it back herself.


    She might’ve even fetched it personally.


    And she was probably using this as an excuse to meet up with Gabrielle.


    i’ll see you at noon. Give me a call. before you go. You don’t have to drop by the studio. Let’s just meet


    at a restaurant, okay?” Gabrielle replied sternly.


    Everyone in the Jones family knew that she had her internship at Jason’s ce, but Wendy disliked it.


    She used to be that daughter of the Carter family. so she wasn’t that impressed of the jewelry custom–


    made by small studios. Even though young people nowadays were particr of their own personalities


    and preferred to be unique, in her old-fashioned opinions, Wendy found it more dignified to wear the


    most prominent jewelry brands in the world.


    Moreover, she barely cared about her adopted daughter, Gabrielle. She had zero interest in Gabrielle’s


    internship.


    Even though she wanted to get involved, Gabrielle didn’t want her to do so.


    “Okay, I’ll ce a reservation for the two of us, and then I’ll text you the address,”


    said Wendy. She agreed with Gabrielle.


    Now, it was all up to Gabrielle. Wendy had no say in the matter.


    “Okay.see you at noon,” said Gabrielle.


    After disconnecting from the call, Gabrielle took a deep breath before changing her clothes.


    By the time Westley finished showering, she was already done changing Afterwards, she just stood


    there, visibly uneasy


    “What’s the matter? Don’t tell me you got impatient waiting for me?” Westley asked as he approached


    her.


    “Nothing really. I’m going to wash my face,” said Gabrielle. She didn’t mention anything about Wendy.


    Instead, she just went to the bathroom at once.


    Upon hearing her response, Westley frowned. He knew that waiting for him while he was showering


    wasn’t the reason she was upset.


    Once Gabrielle came out of the bathroom, she looked much better. Westley knew


    that she didn’t just wash her face there. She also probablyposed herself in there.


    “Let’s have breakfast downstairs, shall we?” Gabrielle said with a bright smile.


    Dainn it! How many times have I told her that if there’s something wrong, she should tell me? She


    shouldn’t be bearing everything all alone! Westley cursed inwardly. +


    ‘I’m her husband. She can count on me for anything!


    “Gabrielle, I am your husband, and whatever it is you’re dealing with, I can help. If you’re feeling


    troubled about anything. just let me know, okay?” Westley’s face remainedposed, but his voice


    was filled with determination.


    Gabrielle knew what he meant, and that he was a man of his word.


    As long as he had made a promise, he would definitely live up to it.


    Gabrielle reached out to hold his hand. “Of course, Westley. But really, this isn’t a big deal. My mother


    just called me to ask me out for lunch. It’s probably about


    Bryce,” she said.


    Westley put his hand over her hair and rubbed it gently. “Then enjoy your lunch with her. About the


    matter with Bryce, don’t wanty. I’ll take care of it.”


    “Okay.”


    After breakfast, Westley drove her to her destination. This time, they parked by a big tree. As long as


    the paparazzi didn’t keep a close eye on them, nobody would notice them there.


    In all honesty, she didn’t want him to take her, but if she were to refuse, he would ask Alvin to pick her


    up no matter how far thetter lived away.


    Thus, her only option was to let Westley drive her there.


    They were supposed to be a legally married couple, but right now, it was as if they were having a


    secret love affair. It was so exciting!


    “Westley, have you noticed that we’re kind of like seeing each other in secrettely?” asked Gabrielle.


    Her words rendered him speechless at


    first, and then he smiled. “I thought you liked it. Or do you want to make our rtionship public? I’m fine


    with either way,” he said.


    Upon hearing this, Gabrielle shook her head and said, “No, there’s no need to do that. We’re fine as it


    is. Have you ever heard of that saying?” She then stared at him with curiosity in her eyes.


    “What are you saying?” Westley now realized that his wife wasn’t as submissive as she looked. She


    was a woman filled with surprises.


    “A secret lover receives more than the official wife. And my flowers can never triumph over the wild


    ones by the side of the road,” said Gabrielle.


    Westley was shocked by her words. It turned out that his woman wasn’t as innocent as she looked.


    “How could she possibly know all these?”


    He raised an eyebrow while staring at Gabrielle as if he were staring at an alien. “Where did you hear


    that, Gabrielle?”


    Just then, she realized what she had said in front of Westley, ‘What on earth am I doing?


    Ah… I may as well kill myself.


    My image in his mind must’ve been


    ruined now!


    This is always Sloane’s fault. She was always saying weird things to me, and now it led to my


    awkwardness,’ she thought to herself.


    “Anyway, I’ll be leaving now. Thanks for driving me here today.” Gabrielle opened the car door, hoping


    to escape. However, Westley knew she would try to run away, so he quickly locked the car.
