Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 29
When Gabrielle finished eating, Miley immediately left, so she could take a rest. But she couldn't sleep, so she lay in bed for a long time, browsing news with her mobile phone. Then she remembered to call Sloane.
"Hey, Gabrielle. You get married, not suspended, okay? You still have a year to go before you graduate. When are you planning to go back?"
"The Jones has asked for a half-month leave of absence for me at school. I'm not in a hurry to go back. I don't have many classes in the senior year anyway. Besides, it doesn't matter whether I go back or not. I'm not interested in those college activities anymore. I'd better go to the studio and master my skill. After all, I only want to design jewelry." 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?
"Well, that's 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. I'm really looking forward to it. By the way, how are you and Westley now?" Sloane's voice was full of concern.
Westley's 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.
"Well, what do you expect? We are just a nominal couple. We live our own lives," 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 didn't deliberately embarrass her last night, she wouldn't have gone to the riverbank to relax and bumped into someone who was about to commit suicide.
"It doesn't matter if you are just a nominal couple. What's important is that you can live your own life. How about Bryce? Is there any news about him?" As much as possible, Sloane didn't want to ask more about Gabrielle's private affairs. But this matter was no longer a simple private issue. Gabrielle was suffering because of Bryce's 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 wasn't a big deal. But he was bad-tempered and ruthless. It seemed that he was delighted to make Gabrielle suffer.
"Dad and Mom sent some people to look for him. But you know that the Jones' capability is limited. If Bryce really wants to hide, especially abroad, it will take a long time before they find him for sure." 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.
