Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 29 I Will Never Marry A Demon When Gabrielle finished eating. Miley immediately left, so she could take a rest. But she couldnât sleep, so she lay in bed for a long time, browsing news with her mobile phone. Then she remembered to call Sloane.
âHey, Gabrielle. You get married, not suspended, okay? You still have a year to go before you graduate. When are you planning to go back?
âThe Jones has asked for a half-month leave of absence for me at school. Iâm not in a hurry to go back. I donât have many classes in the senior year anyway. Besides, it doesnât matter whether I go back or not. Iâm not interested in those college activities anymore. Iâd better go to the studio and master my skill. After all, I only want to design jewelry.â As she spoke, Gabrielle looked at the sky outside through the window, feeling helpless. Actually, she also wanted to continue her studies. But she was still lying in the hospital. How could she go back?
âWell, thatâs a good plan too. I know that you have a passion for jewelry design. And I believe that someday, you will become the top jewelry designer in the country. Iâm really looking forward to it. By the way, how are you and Westley now?â Sloaneâs voice was full of concem Westleyâs nasty temperament really annoyed her.
Every time she remembered that day he left Gabrielle in the middle of nowhere under the heavy rain, her blood boiled with rage.
In her eyes, he was worse than a beast.
There was nothing good in him. But Gabrielle was so stupid to agree to marry him to protect Bryce and the Jones family. Her life must be hell living with a demon like him.
âWell, what do you expect? We are just a nominal couple. We live our own lives,â Gabrielle replied helplessly.
It was true that they were a nominal couple. But it would be great if they were really living their own lives. How she wished Westley would stop controlling her. It was making her so upset.
As a matter of fact, she wanted to blame him for why she was lying in the hospital bed right now. If he didnât deliberately embarrass her last night, she wouldnât have gone to the riverbank to relax and bumped into someone who was about to commit suicide.
âIt doesnât matter if you are just a nominal couple. Whatâs important is that you can live your own life. How about Bryce? Is there any news about him?â As much as possible, Sloane didnât want to ask more about Gabrielleâs private affairs. But this matter was no longer a simple private issue. Gabrielle was suffering because of Bryceâs irresponsibility:
She was just an adopted daughter of the Jones family. Why did she have to atone for their sins?
If Westley was a real gentleman, then it wasnât a big deal. But he was bad-tempered and ruthless. It seemed that he was delighted to make Gabrielle suffer.
âDad and Mom sent some people to look for him. But you know that the Jonesâ capability is limited. If Bryce really wants to hide, especially abroad, it will take a long time before they find him for sure.â Gabrielle sounded so helpless.
At first, she believed that the Jones was doing their best to find Bryce immediately. But when she came back home yesterday, she discovered something.
It turned out that they didnât have plans of finding Bryce. Instead, they wanted her to sleep with Westley and win his heart. If he fell in love with her and kept her by his side, then he wouldnât blame them anymore.
Werenât they so naive and ridiculous?
charm and They overestimated her underestimated his teinper He was already merciful enough not to destroy the Jones directly.
âGabrielle, I think the Jones doesnât want to find Bryce. We all know Westleyâs temper. Maybe they are afraid of what he might do to Bryce when he sees him again. And they are using you to hold him off as long as possible. âSloane just speculated boldly.
But she didnât expect that her conjecture was correct.
âSloane, I wonât let them do that to me.â Gabrielle heaved a deep sigh. Actually, she knew very well that she was now being attacked on both sides.
On one side was the Jones family, who was using her, and on the other side was Westley, who was hating her. She was alone, and no one was on her side.
âGabrielle, if you need any help, just let me know. I will definitely help you,â Sloane said in a very serious tone. 1 Gabrielle was moved upon hearing it. However, she also felt helpless. 2 After all, Sloane was not that capable. She didnât want to involve her in this matter.
But still, she said, âThank you.â She then asked, âWhere is Benny?â
Sloane had told her last time that Benny got so drunk in the bar and asked her to pick him up. She wondered how he was now âOh, donât mention that name. He is a lunatic. Other people go crazy when they are drunk. But in his case, he goes crazy when he is sober. Next time, I will never pick him up even if he drinks to death,â Sloane said through clenched teeth. Obviously, she was angry.
Gabrielle couldnât help sighing from the bottom of her heart. She and Sloane really had the same miserable fate. They were destined to suffer.
In fact, she had heard these words from Sloane so many times. But still, Sloane came to pick Benny up every time he called her.
âOkay. Letâs not talk about him.â She didnât want to ruin Sloaneâs mood, so she tried her best to coax her.
Sloane had been having a hard time dealing with a capricious brother like Benny. Gabrielle didnât want to add to her burden.
âGabrielle. I have to go. I still have class today. I envy you, I hope I can also take a half -month leave like you.â Gabrielle didnât know whether to laugh or to cry. She couldnât think of anything envious about her current life.
âTry to marry Westley,â she jested.
âNo way! I will never marry a demon!â Sloane then hung up the phone.
Indeed, Benny and Westley were both demons.
And thinking that she was now the wife of the king of hell, Gabrielle felt very sad.
She had just put her phone away when she heard some knocks on the door.
Gabrielle looked up, thinking that it was a nurse. But she was a bit stunned when she saw a tall man standing outside the door.
Her brows creased, trying to recall the manâs face in her memory. But no matter how much she racked her brains, she couldnât remember who he was. He was a total stranger to her.
âExcuse me, are you looking for a certain patient?â she subconsciously asked.
She was in a private ward, and there were no other patients there except her.
He must have walked into the wrong ward.
âMiss Jones, Iâm here to visit you. May I come in?â The manâs expression softened a little as he spoke.
He came to visit her?
Gabrielle got more confused. She couldnât help but stare at the man without blinking.
âSir, I donât think we know each other. Are you sure you come to the right ward, and youâre looking for the right person?â
Gabrielle said incredulously. She wanted to make sure that the man was not looking for the wrong person.
âYou are Gabrielle Jones, arenât you?â
Micheal asked. He was not surprised that Gabrielle didnât recognize him.
After all, she was unconscious when he saved her. She didnât see his face last night.
âYes, thatâs right. But, who are you?â Gabrielle asked without taking her gaze away from Micheal.
âMy name is Micheal Robinson. You may not remember me, but I hope you remember the person with me.â With a stern look on his face, Micheal turned around, âMia, come here!â he shouted angrily. Mia was in the hallway, unwilling to come over.
She looked so arrived and unhappy. Micheal wanted to visit Gabrielle, and he forced her to come with him. He said she had to apologize in person. Mia felt wronged because she didnât push Gabrielle down the river. Why did she have to apologize?
She was so unwilling âMia, donât make me call your name for the second time.â Seeing the unwillingness on her face, Micheal wanted to scold her more.
