Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 11
It would have been fine if Wesley hadn't mentioned Nellie because Miley's blood pressure surged at the mere mention of her name.
"Don't mention her name in front of me again. After all, did she treat the Morris with respect? No! Besides, Gabrielle is your wife and I will only accept her as my granddaughter-in-law," Miley said firmly.
"Grandma, please don't be so angry. It's okay that we don't visit my parents today; besides, they aren't expecting any special treatment anyway." Gabrielle tried to placate Miley because she didn't want them to have an argument because of her. More importantly, she didn't want anything bad to happen to Miley.
"Gabrielle, you're a good girl. Go back to your room and change into something nice. I need to have a few words with Westley. Don't worry, I have the right to make a decision in this house. I won't let anyone bully you," Miley said in a soft voice.
Gabrielle felt upset, mainly because she didn't want Miley to fight her battles for her as it would only make Westley angrier.
Just as she had expected, Westley squinted his eyes at Gabrielle angrily, sending shivers down her spine.
"Gabrielle, didn't you hear what I said?" Miley pretended to be angry when she saw that Gabrielle still hadn't moved from her place.
"Grandma, I'm going upstairs now." Gabrielle didn't say anything more and went upstairs obediently, glancing at Westley as she left.
His eyes were cold, hard, and dark gazing out at her.
They carried clear implications of warning to Gabrielle.
"Westley, I am going to pretend as though I didn't hear what you had just said. Let's start over. It's already the third day after Gabrielle was married into the Morris. I want you to go to her parents' home with her. I've already taken care of the gifts you need to bring there with you. Don't bring disgrace to our family. Do you hear me?" Miley's words were delivered with great seriousness.
"Grandma, as I have said before, I am not going to visit the Jones with Gabrielle. I will only go to the Collins if I have any in-laws to visit," said Westley with an arrogant look on his face.
