Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Defending Westley Gabrielle and Lance were still in the Prario Restaurant. As soon as she hung up the phone, she saw that her cousin was staring at her curiously. She wondered if there was some dirt on her face because she had eaten too much.

“Lance, is there anything on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?” Gabrielle looked a little uneasy.

“Nothing. I’m just surprised that you and Austin are still on good terms.” Lance knew the existence of Austin in his cousin’s life.

Austin was Gabrielle’s schoolmate. He was not her senior in the same department, but he was in the same club with her and treated her very well. On countless occasions when Lance went to the Alonth University to see Gabrielle, he had seen them together. He knew that Austin was very concerned about Gabrielle and took good care of her.

Lance was a man and he liked Gabrielle, so he knew what was on Austin’s mind.

He knew that Austin had a crush on her and liked her very much.

After all, Gabrielle was a very beautiful girl and she also had a good temper which could make men fall in love with her at first sight.

So it was very normal for Austin to like her. After all, many boys in the Alorith University had a crush on Gabrielle.

It was Austin who helped Gabrielle get her internship in Jason’s jewelry design Studio. Ultimately, this made her feel closer and even more grateful to him.

Jealousy and unhappiness ruled Lance’s heart when he found out what Austin did for Gabrielle. He felt that the Carter family could also consider setting up a jewelry company in the future and then invite Gabrielle to work full-time in the design department, But then, there was nothing to worry about because Lance knew that his cousin wasn’t in love with Austin in any way. There was only one person in her heart, and that was Bryce, whom Lance hated so much.

Bryce had always treated Gabrielle in an unfriendly way, but in Gabrielle’s heart, he would always be the first one, and no one could surpass him.

“You just have a very beautiful face.” Lance said with a smile.

He didn’t want Gabrielle to know his feelings right now. The plan he had in mind was to confess his love to her when she graduated from college and the Jones family began to look for a husband for her. After all, he knew that the Jones family wouldn’t allow Gabrielle to stay in their family as a daughter-in-law.

The reason why the Jones family had adopted Gabrielle was that they wanted to have a daughter who could help the Jones family unite with another family by marriage in the future, not for the sake of raising a child bride for their son, Bryce. 2 “Are you serious? You just want to make me shy.” With a broad smile on her face, Gabrielle blushed and felt embarrassed to accept the praise from Lance.

“Don’t be shy. You have always been beautiful. Didn’t you become the campus belle as soon as you entered the Alorith University? You know that I’m saying the truth.

I’m not the only one just talking about it,” Lance said seriously as he looked at her delicate white face.

He felt that such a tender girl should be pampered instead of being hurt and bullied by people.

In his opinion, both Westley and Bryce had bullied and hurt Gabrielle.

“You’re the only one talking about it. You know that the campus belle is just a joke. Well, let’s just eat first. I have to accompany my mom to the mall to buy a birthday gift for Grandpa later in the afternoon.” Gabrielle had promised Wendy that she would choose a birthday gift for Kylo. Now that she had come back to Antawood from the countryside, she could go with Wendy in the afternoon.

“Okay, that’s good. Speaking of Grandpa’s birthday. will Westley be attending the birthday party also?” Lance asked curiously Since Westley was Gabrielle’s nominal husband, he might also go to the birthday party But then, Lance didn’t want Westley’s attendance at the party.

“Honestly, I don’t know yet. Maybe he will. The Morris family has received an invitation from Grandpa. I’m sure that Miley will be there. You know that Grandpa enjoys crowds,” Gabrielle said to him. She just said what was on her mind.

She had done her part by informing Westley about it. As for whether he would be there or not, she was clueless at that time. Westley was always moody and no one knew whether he would decide out of the blues.

“Well, as for me, I don’t think Westley would be there. After all, your marriage with him hasn’t been made public yet and just a few people in the Carter family also know about your marriage. It would be better if he doesn’t go, or else, there would be trouble.” Lance said this on purpose because he didn’t want Westley to be there. 2 He knew that once Westley attended Kylo’s birthday party, it was as good as announcing their marriage and this was not a good thing for Gabrielle.

“Lance, let’s not talk about him for now. If at all he wants to be there, I guess he will go as the CEO of the Morris Group.” At the mention of Westley’s name, Gabrielle felt a bit confused and didn’t want to continue talking about him. I “Okay, then. That’s good,” Lance said softly. “Lance, it seems to me that you don’t like Westley at all. Am I right?” Gabrielle could tell by just looking at his gestures when he talked about Westley.

“No. I just think he shouldn’t make your relationship public now. It will be bad for you both when you finally divorce in the future.”

Lance looked concerned about her.

“Divorce?” Gabrielle asked and then paused.

‘Yes, this is true. I’m going to divorce Westley. For this reason, the fewer people know about our marriage, the better,’ she thought to herself.

Perhaps no one would dare to marry Westley’s ex-wife.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you want a divorce any longer?” Lance asked as he looked at her nervously.

“No, Lance. Let’s just eat first. We’ll talk about this again when we bring Nellie and Bryce back,” Gabrielle said to him as she looked at the bowl of food in front of her. She felt dizzy at the mention of divorce.

Lance didn’t say anything else. He knew what he was supposed to do. As long as he could quicken his efforts in getting Bryce back to China as soon as possible, Gabrielle could divorce Westley.

Now that he was sure that they were going to get divorced, he knew that there was nothing to worry about anymore.

Gabrielle, who didn’t know what was going on in Lance’s mind, just ate her food quietly After they were done with their lunch, the two of them left the restaurant. As they were leaving, Lance insisted on driving her to the mall.

Gabrielle had no choice but to get in his car, feeling a little uneasy.

“Lance, if you are busy, you don’t have to drive me there. I can just take a taxi and get there quickly,” she said to him after she had hesitated for a while.

“Sincerely speaking. I don’t think it’s better to take a taxi when I can drive you there myself. There are many bad taxi drivers these days. You know that you’re a very beautiful young girl, and it’s dangerous for you to take a taxi alone.” As far as he was concerned, he was willing to give her a ride anywhere she was going Gabrielle was so amused by his words. “Lance, it’s not as exaggerated as you are making it seem. This is a modern society and it is ruled by law. There are more good people than bad people.”

“You’re just saying this because you haven’t met any bad guy. Westley can allow you to take a taxi on your own, but I won’t allow that because I’ll be so worried about you.” Lance still felt some resentment towards Westley because of this “It’s not that he didn’t want to give me a ride, but his grandmother was also in the car. He had to drive her home first,” she said as she tried to explain what had happened. Besides, she didn’t want him to drive her here anyway.

“Let’s just forget about it,” he said with a wave of the hand. ‘How can I feel comfortable when she’s busy defending him so much?” Lance wondered.
