Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 610

The voice was not very audible, yet it sounded harsh in the midst of the crowd’s adulation and admiration.

Everyone’s eyes followed where the voice came from, only to land on a young girl sitting at the end of the table. She was young and probably just eighteen years old, but so cocky.

“Ena, don’t talk crap like that! It has nothing to do with you!” A woman stopped Ena Morris that instant.

She was Westley’s cousin, the granddaughter of Zaid’s younger brother. The woman who stopped her was her mother.

Ena had been studying overseas for most of her life. She had become extroverted in her mind and personality. She never thought twice about saying anything, so she just spoke without caring about the occasion just now.

But she scared her parents.

Zaid’s brother’s family had no high-ranking positions in the Morris Group. They lived on an annual bonus since they had shares in the company. They hoped that generations would live on the bonus, and they didn’t intend to leave the Morris Group and work elsewhere.

Of course, the younger generation was coming up with their own small business, but they were not as successful as the Morris Group.

Ena’s father set up his own modest business, for instance. He could make more than a million dollars in profit every year.

Therefore, working with powerful and influential people was their way of making profits. If they really offended Westley and he bought their shares, they would have a hard time in the future.

“Mom, I said nothing offensive. The wedding hasn’t been done in public yet. The wedding of the CEO of the Morris Group must be grand. How is that wrong?” Ena said inhospitably.

Ena never liked Gabrielle, from the word go. Because she liked Holly. Holly and Helena treated her well.

So after Helena had died, Holly was the second cousin-in-law to be in Ena’s eyes. Even though Westley chose Nellie as his fiancée, Ena didn’t object. Ultimately, she was Helena’s sister and she treated Ena well.

Later, she got the news that Westley didn’t marry Nellie, nor Holly. He rather married a woman from an unknown ancestry.

She had imagined he would marry a woman from a moneyed and powerful family. In the long run, the woman had been adopted by the Jones family who also disliked her. What would make her marry Westley?

Her gorgeous face must have been what had bewitched Westley. It was no wonder he was madly in love with her.

Anyway, Ena greatly disliked Gabrielle. In her mind, she already knew how she had seduced Westley.

“Yes, I agree. But it’s the issue between Gabrielle and me. Irrelevant people shouldn’t mention it.” Westley gave Ena a chilly glance.

Honestly, Ena harbored some fear in her. Since she was a child, she had always been scared of Westley’s mean-looking eyes.

“Irrelevant people. I’m your sister, Westley. Should I not care about you at all?” Unconvinced, Ena gazed at Westley. She only wanted to show that she didn’t want to cause him any trouble. She only

wanted to look after him.

“Don’t bother. You should concentrate more on your studies. Watch out or you may not even be able to graduate from college by that time.” Westley warned Ena coldly.

That simply meant that Ena was to mind her own business. She ought not to get her nose into his business.

“Westley, I…”

“Ena, hush! Westley is correct. It is entirely his and your sister-in-law’s choice whether or not to perform a wedding in public. Your concern is not needed here. You must study diligently. If you can’t even

acquire a bachelor’s degree, your father and I will be embarrassed by you.” Ena’s mother promptly stopped her daughter.

Did the dumb girl intend to put their family in trouble?

It was a happy gathering. Everyone had to have supper together joyfully, even if it meant forcing happiness into themselves.

“Well, don’t argue any longer. We should have supper together as a family because it’s essential that we do so. You and Gabrielle are now acquainted. Be courteous if you meet again in the future,” Miley stated calmly, yet dignifiedly.

“Come on, cheers.”

The meal eventually got underway. Gabrielle was worried that if it didn’t start, she’d be the one to trigger trouble at dinner today.

She didn’t want to be the focal point of a huge table of people, so she might as well go back and relish it with Star.

The air eventually became hospitable. Everyone was looking nothing less than happy, but deep down, everyone was thinking their own sorts of thoughts. It was indeed a tough meal for some, and for others, it was torment.

Following the meal, Miley began to deliver red envelopes to the younger generation, and other seniors followed her to distribute red envelopes to the younger people.

Gabrielle, the Morris family’s new daughter-in-law, was with no doubt the greatest winner this year. She was flooding with joy on receiving so many red envelopes.

She had never received so many red envelopes in the Jones and Carter families combined, as far as she could recall.

Gabrielle was quite thrilled with a bunch of red envelopes in her arms on the walk back home after parting with Miley. Her appearance was enhanced by the red color.

“You love red envelopes so much, little miser,” Westley taunted her.

Gabrielle grinned as she put the red envelopes into the large bag. Luckily, she was carrying a large bag, else she wouldn’t have been able to carry so many red envelopes.

“Westley, it’s the first time I’ve received so many red envelopes since I was born,” Gabrielle said happily.

Westley had a rough understanding of what she was saying and felt pity for her.

How did his wife grow up all these years? She had been terribly mistreated.

“From now on, my little miser, you’ll get enormous red envelopes every year from me.” Westley smiled.

“I like that, how about the red envelope this year?” Decisively, Gabrielle reached out to Westley.

“You’ll have it sometime later, miser.” Westley increased his laugh.

“I’d like to visit Sloane in the hospital, Westley. Every year, we made wishes together in the beginning of the year. This year… I’d want to do the same with her,” Gabrielle requested, looking at him.

“Without a doubt. First, let’s visit the hospital.” Westley turned his car and headed for the hospital.

Gabrielle had yearned to see Sloane at the hospital since they came back from Thailand.

Gabrielle walked to the flower store once they arrived at the hospital’s entrance, and bought a bouquet of flowers. Favorably, the flower shop had remained open till then.

Gabrielle came at Sloane’s ward door, ready with a bouquet of flowers and a red envelope prepared for her.

She took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

She was surprised to see Benny sitting beside the bed, accompanying Sloane. She had no idea what Benny was reading to Sloane, but he stopped when he heard the door open.

“Gabrielle, Mr. Morris? What are you doing here at this time?” When Benny turned his head to look back, he was stunned on seeing the two.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
