Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 16
Gabrielle stared at Wendy's face for a while. Although her instincts told her that Wendy was hiding something from her, Gabrielle decided to give her the benefit of the doubt.
"Mom, you have to find Bryce and Nellie as soon as possible. As you can see, Westley can be very short-tempered. I'm afraid that if he gets angry at me again, it will be over for both me and the Jones family." Gabrielle frowned.
She had every reason to be afraid of Westley. After all, who in their right mind would want to get into his bad books?
"Gabrielle, you know that your father and I are doing our best to find them. The Jones just doesn't have the same resources as the Morris. Besides, I don't think Westley wants to get Nellie back. If he did, he would have been able to track her down even without the help of the Jones." Wendy already had a plan in her mind.
However, it all depended on whether Gabrielle would be willing to cooperate or not.
Fortunately, since they had managed to get Gabrielle married to Westley, refusal was not an option that was available to her anymore.
Someone as powerful and well-connected as Westley would have easily been able to trace Nellie's whereabouts, but he deliberately dropped that difficult responsibility over to the Jones.
That alone gave Wendy enough reason to believe that he never really wanted to marry Nellie in the first place. Otherwise, he could have easily called off the wedding instead of picking Gabrielle to be his substitute bride.
Wasn't it a tad bit dubious?
Wendy had no way of finding out what was on Westley's mind, but she hoped that everything would go as she had expected.
With Gabrielle as his wife, the bond between the Jones and the Morris was now stronger than ever. Their union could prove to be immensely beneficial for the Jones.
