Chapter 290 Too Much Information

Gabrielle fell asleep. She was awoken from her slumber when Sophie brought dinner:

“You’re here.” With her signature smile, Gabrielle acknowledged Sophie’s presence as she sat up from her bed.

Seeing the gentleness apparent in Sophie’s face delighted her.

“I was so worried about you, Miss Jones. You have no idea how relieved I am that you’ve finally woken up. I was tossing and turning in bed when I caught wind of the accident,” Sophie said as she laid the food on the table. She had felt awful back then.

“I’m incredibly sorry that I made you worry.” Gabrielle retorted with a tinge of

guilt in her voice.

“Please don‘t apologize, Miss Jones. Oh no! I mean… Mrs. Morris. You are Mr. Morris’s wife, after all. It is our sworn duty to worry and look after you. Are you

He said, feeling better? She suddenly recalled what Westley told her prior to leaving He said, “Gabrielle is my wife now. Call her Mrs. Monis. Not Miss Jones.” Sophie was delighted by what she heard. It meant that Westley finally acknowledged Gabrielle as his wife. E

 

Sophie had been upset for the duration of the day but what she gathered sounded like music to her ears.

“I’In fine, just a couple of bruises on my back it really is no big deal. Where is Westley, by the way?”

Gabrielle asked curiously.

Her husband was nowhere to be found. She badly yearned to know where he had gone.

“He went home when I got here. Mr. Morris has been up all night. I don’t think he slept much. He must have left to have a couple hours of rest. Don’t worry, he should be back here later, Sophie answered

‘What?

“He was here with me all night?’ ‘When I asked him, he said he wasn’t. Westley never tells me the truth.’

“Mr. Morris asked me to make chicken soup for you, Mrs. Morris. He specifically said to incorporate ginseng and Chinese medicine into the broth. I simmered it for three hours. The soup should taste phenomenal!” Sophie poured her a bowl of piping hot chicken soup and placed it down in front of her.

“What did you call me?” Something felt off to Gabrielle The way they said her name had changed. Sophie called her “Mrs. Morris” now. When Alvin was visiting, he addressed her the same.

She could not quite wrap her finger around the idea of being called that.

“Mrs. Morris.” Sophie’s eyes brimmed with joy and adoration as she peered at Gabrielle with an apparent smile on her face.

It was without a doubt that she went by that name now,

“Why are you suddenly calling me that?” she questioned the maid out of curiosity.

Chili 290 Too Much naman She did not have the time to seek answers from Alvin because he was in a hurry to leave. Now that Sophie was here to stay for a while, she finally had the opportunity to ask.

“Mr. Morris requested for you to be addressed as Mrs. Morris.” The smirk on Sophie’s face stretched even wider as she said that.

“Of course it would be Westley! He was the only person bold enough to give them that command.”

‘Why would he do that?’

“He was the one who told them not to call me Mrs. Morris before for heaven’s sake!

“Men are indeed from Mars. They are so difficult to comprehend.’

*Isn’t it great? This just means that Mr. Morris has fallen head over heels for you. Go ahead and finish your dinner. You shouldn’t be thinking about that right now. When Mr. Morris comes back, you can ask him directly, okay?” Sophie let out a huge grin.

Gabrielle did not badger her with any

more questions.

“How could Westley make such big decisions without consulting someone else beforehand? Never mind that. I should have dinner first.’

Gabrielle was having extreme hunger pangs as she was asleep the entire night and for the most part of the day. She was so famished, she felt like she could eat an entire cow. She gobbled up the food so fast, Sophie was afraid that she would choke. Thankfully, dinner ended without any more inflicted injuries.

Sophie left with very few words after tidying up. Gabrielle sat on the bed to try and digest the food when she suddenly decided to call Mia.

It did not take long for Mia to pick up the phone.

“Ouch! Gabrielle? Is this you?” Mia screamed with utmost enthusiasm.

“If you spoke any louder, I would be deaf. Are you alright?” Gabrielle asked with concern evident in her voice.

“I’m fine! My arm is slightly injured but that’s about it. Luckily, I was wearing a leather jacket so the rivet barely managed to scrape me. Emily is a fucking madwoman. Who in their right mind would buy a bag that could pass as a murder weapon? I should file a complaint against the manufacturer of that bag!” Mia was beyond upset.

Having heard her string of angry phrases, Gabrielle could not help but let out a boisterous laughter. She cried out in pain because her wound was stretched out after giggling so much.

“Are you okay? You were in coma for almost 24 hours. I was scared to death.” Mia could not help but worry about Gabrielle’s well-being.

“i’ll be alright. Don’t worry yourself too much. It’s just a few cuts and bruises. I felt fine when I woke up.” Gabrielle assured Mia.

“That’s good news. Although, I’m not sure if I’m okay. It hasn’t been long since Micheal lifted my punishment but now I’m grounded again until I reach full recovery. Gabrielle, when you get discharged, please come over and tell my brother to let me go out. You always manage to talk some sense into him.

Please.” Mia nagged.

“Okay, okay. I will come visit you as soon as I leave the hospital,” she promised, After all, it was her fault that Mia was injured. Emily’s target was Gabrielle but Mia barged in to take the hit.

“No! Let me go there instead. I should see you as soon as possible now that you’ve woken up. I will beg Micheal to let me go and take care of you. It wasn’t my fault anyway. That bitch of a woman is to blame. Micheal shouldn’t have grounded me.” Excitement was dripping from Mia’s voice as she explained to Gabrielle what she wanted to happen.

“You can discuss it with Micheal but you don’t have to look after me.” She didn’t deem it necessary for Mia to be her caregiver.

“Geez, it doesn’t seem like you need me anymore, now that you have your amazing Westley. I get it. Westley is fucking hot. He works so fast, he had already taken care of the Garcia family before I could ask Micheal to do something. Turns out, Emily has a huge selection of sex scandals. Good lord, she has been sexually active since her junior

high years! That’s impressive. But nothing could possibly beat what Westley is capable of. He dug up Emily’s past so well he was able to find photos from the bygone era,” Mia said, putting Westley in very high regard.

Gabrielle was tempted to read the news herself. Just when she did, a message from Macy popped up on her notifications.

It read, “The list of Miss Emily Garcia’s sexual partners.”

‘What an insane title!

“Guess what? Emily’s outstanding past life is now out for everyone to see! I could only wonder who she offended this time. There is too much information!” Macy, with much enthusiasm, asked her to go through the article.

After saying her goodbyes, Gabrielle hung up on Mia and clicked on the link Macy sent her.

“Damn, this is outrageous!’

The woman she saw in the website was unlike the Emily she knew. It was as if she was a different person. She finally understood why she was so arrogant and bossy. It was not only the fact that she was the daughter of the Garcia family. Part of it was because she had a number of sugar daddies behind her back.

It was apparent how efficient Westley was when it comes to digging up people’s secrets. He had everything in the palm of his hand, all he had to do was to be curious. She was frightened of what Westley was capable of. Would he dig up her past as well? After a moment of reminiscing, she couldn’t recall having scandals at all.

Gabrielle was an orphan. Aside from her foster parents, she didn’t have anyone who financially backed her up. Every penny she had was eamed through blood, sweat, and tears. She was relieved by the fact that she didn’t seem to have a sketchy past and carried on skimming through gossip.
