Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 326

Of course, Westley heard Gabrielle clearly. He heard her every single word.

But he was not in a hurry to answer. He stared at her for a while before saying, "Gabrielle, do you remember what I have told you? If I am going to look for Bryce myself, what I will bring back might be a corpse. Are you sure you really want me to look for him?" There was no hint of humor in Westley's words. He was definitely not joking around.

Besides, Gabrielle believed that Westley could really do whatever he said.

There were thousands of ways to kill a person without getting caught, especially if it was abroad.

What was more terrifying was the fact that a man like Westley, who could control everything, possessed power and influence far beyond Antawood.

His power and wealth enabled him to do anything just to achieve his goal in any place.

So it was not impossible that he could find Bryce and turn him into a corpse, even in Thailand.

"Westley, will you really do that?" Gabrielle asked. What he said just broke her heart and her palms were sweating. She didn't even want to look at Westley.

When he saw her frightened face, Westley smiled.

"Gabrielle, when did I say something that I didn't mean? Or do you think I'm talking nonsense and don't take it seriously at all?" Westley said calmly, but she could tell that he was a little angry.

"I always take your words seriously. How can I not? I just don't want to believe that you can be so cruel. As long as you help in finding him, it will be great. You don't have to bother to make sure that he is alive or dead," Gabrielle answered.

"Gabrielle, do you really care about Bryce so much?" Westley was upset now.

He always thought that Gabrielle was a smart woman who could distinguish right from wrong.

It was very clear that Bryce had no interest in her at all. Bryce could even elope with another man's fiancée. He was an irresponsible man.

Therefore, even if he died abroad, Gabrielle should not feel sorrowful because of him.

Westley was irritated by her obvious concern and fear for Bryce.

"I don't care much about him. Why would I still care about him? It's only because my mother begged me to help in finding him," Gabrielle explained. She had no interest in Bryce at all.

But she wanted to find him back so that she could completely end everything with the Jones family.

She was forced to leave the Jones family because of Bryce's fleeing, and she would only be able to end everything with that family by bringing Bryce back to them.

"Let's eat first."

Westley ended the topic abruptly when the waiter had finally brought the dishes. Obviously, he didn't want to talk about Bryce anymore.

Gabrielle was an intelligent woman. She certainly understood why he said it.

After dinner, the two of them went back to Half Moon Bay. Blackboo had already woken up and was just walking around in the living room.

"Blackboo, I'm back! Do you know that I'm already back that's why you're here to welcome us?" Gabrielle then squatted down and picked up Blackboo.

"I'm going to the study room," Westley just said. He then went straight into the study.

Gabrielle couldn't completely relax until he was already out of her sight.

Westley hadn't agreed to help her look for Bryce. On their way home from the restaurant, she didn't dare to mention it again. She was afraid that it would end up worse if she pushed him too hard.

Now, he was already busy in the study room, so she wouldn't dare to go to him either. After playing with Blackboo for a while, she went upstairs to take a shower. She then lay on the bed and started reading.

She was reading until twelve o'clock. She then fell asleep before Westley could even come into the room.

Westley wasn't avoiding her, he was just really

busy. When he finished his work and he finally went into the room, he saw that Gabrielle was already sleeping on the quilt, a book about jewelry design was still in her hand.

Was this woman using her common sense? She always liked to sit on the quilt and read books, but she would just fall asleep after a while.

Westley came closer and picked her up. He then tucked her in the quilt, but Gabrielle suddenly opened her eyes. She was clearly in a daze.

"Honey, you're finally here." Right after saying that, Gabrielle stared at him confusedly.

Westley chuckled and looked at her interestingly. He felt that she didn't really wake up and was actually dreaming.

"Gabrielle, do you know what you are talking about?" Regardless if she was just dreaming or was actually sober, Westley liked the way she had called him 'honey'.

At that moment, Gabrielle woke up completely. She rubbed her eyes and then looked at him. "I know what I'm talking about."

"Are you waiting for me?" Westley sat down on the bed and stared at Gabrielle's face.

"Well, I think that we should talk, so I didn't really mean to sleep before you could even come here. But I'm too tired. I didn't realize I already fell asleep while waiting," Gabrielle explained shyly.

"That's why I said that you are too weak and need more exercise," Westley said.

Gabrielle didn't understand what he meant. "What exercise? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. I just want to ask what you want us to talk about." Westley reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead gently. Minutes later, his fingers were already playing with her long black hair.

Her hair was thin and soft, so he really enjoyed playing with it.

He had discovered it just now, and he could consider it a new toy.

"Westley, let's talk about Bryce and me," Gabrielle said. She was looking at him in the eye.

As soon as she came back into the room, she was already thinking of it. Since she and Westley were a couple, she felt that she had to be frank with him, regardless if this would result in a divorce or not.

"What? What do you want me to know about you and Bryce?" Westley asked curiously.

"I'm an adopted daughter of the Jones family. You know, there was a big problem after Mrs. Jones gave birth to Bryce. She couldn't give birth to another child anymore. So they planned to adopt a child. When Bryce was about four or five years old, his parents took him to the orphanage to pick up a child as his sibling. Bryce had chosen me the very first time that he saw me. He wanted me to be his sister,"

Gabrielle said while speaking slowly. She was recalling the past.

Westley didn't interrupt her. It was the first time that she had talked about her past with him so openly. He was actually surprised.

Nevertheless, Westley was happy. It was a good start that Gabrielle was trusting him slowly.

"That's why I left the orphanage and grew up with the Jones family as their adopted daughter. At first, Bryce treated me as his sister and I treated him as my brother. We had a good relationship as brother and sister. But while we were growing up, Mrs. Jones was always emphasizing that I am just an adopted daughter. I also knew that I am not related by blood to them, so my feelings for him eventually changed. But it's just a childish feeling and way of thinking. I think I just liked him. It's not love. There's nothing deeper in what I felt for him. I still don't know how Bryce found out that I liked him, but when he did, he started hating me. He even said that he despised me and that I was disgusting... " Gabrielle suddenly felt sad when she recalled that part of her past.

Westley then held her in his arms and comforted her. "I know what you want to say. Don't mention anything more that makes you sad."
