Of course I like him!â Gabrielle thought.
âEvery girl in Antawood likes Westley,â Gabrielle said casually.
âSo youâre not denying it? That you like him? Gabrielle, you have more chancesc to win his heart than any other woman out there. After all, youâre his legal vile now and you two live together be a shame if you donât seize huge opportunity. Wendy said trying to persuade Gabrielle. âI low you are smart and you can madage yourself well. You understand what mean, donât you? Iâm saying this fell our own good.â
ANONIC âFor my own good!
She hated hearing that phrase ever since she was young Gabrielle was put in a lot of awkward situations even if she didnât like it. She had no choice but to follow what Wendy arranged for her because she wanted to stay with the Jones family. She endured all those for Bryce.
âMom, I...â
âGabrielle, there you are. Oh, Aunt Wendy!â Lanceâs excited voice intempted them.
âWhat are you two talking about here? Why donât you come in?â Lance beamed at Gabrielle.
âLance, why did you come out? You should accompany your grandpa Who knows when heâd start looking for his favorite grandson?â Wendy tapped Chain on the shoulder. âGabrielle and I are just having a chat. We havenât seen each other for a long time since she married into the Morris family. W have so much to talk about.â Wendwclearly wanted to remind him of their tatus.
Lance was the eldest grandson and the successor of the Carter family. Therefore, he would inherit the Carter Group. Gabrielle, on the other hand, had married into the Morris family and became Westleyâs wife.
to be They were not in a position intimate with each other. @
âYouâre right. Did I interrupt your conversation with Gabrielle?â Lance understood what Wendy was trying to say, but he didnât care.
He would be the master of the Carter family in the future, and he wouldnât let anyone dictate what he shouldnât do.
âWe just finished actually. Did you need something?â Wendy smiled awkwardly.
âI came out to answer a phone call. I saw Gabrielle, so I came to say hello. Are these orchids for grandpa? Let me ca. them for you,â Lance said, taking the two pots of flowers from Gabr and held them in his arms.
OV âThank you, cousin Lapse Gabrielle thanked him. âDonât mention in just two pots of flowers.â Lance we a small smile.
âThen, letâs go inside to meet your grandfather and send him birthday wishes.â Wendy waved, walking through the entrance.
âGabrielle, are you okay? Did Aunt Wendy make things awkward for you?â Lance asked, noticing Gabrielle Spacing out.
fine,â
âNo, she didnât. Everythingâs Gabrielle replied flatly.
âIs Westley coming?â That was what Lance cared about most.
âHeâs busy right now, so I donât think heâd have free time to come over.â There was a hint of disappointment in Gabrielleâs tone, but she hid it well and Lance hadnât noticed.
But then, Lance couldnât help but smi to himself hearing about Westleys absence orlds âHe really shouldnât come he at all. Heâs not welcome anyway âI guess this happerslot, huh? Itâs second nature for him to be busy.â Lance seemed very pleased and Gabrielle thought it was odd.
âCousin Lance, are you alright?â Gabrielle looked at him, puzzled. Why was he so happy that Westley couldnât come to the party?
âOf course. Come, letâs go inside.â Lance cleared his throat, toning down on his delight.
âWell, Iâll go greet Grandpa first.â With a smile, Gabrielle turned to the entrance.
Kylo sat in the middle of the banquet hall. He sported a red, Chinese styled suit that made him look so much younger. He was surrounded by the Carter family, and all around the people were talking to each other, bringing the party to life.
Gabrielle basically knew everyone present, but she didnât know them very well. They didnât know much about hac either, except for the fact that she is adopted by the Jones family.
Gabrielle greeted the elders obediently and walked up to Kylo.
âHappy Birthday, grandpo May you stay forever youngâ Gabrielle grinned.
âAh, Ga trielle Long ThẻIá»Tâ Kyl beckoned her excitedly and she smiled.
Gabrielle took the two pots of orchids from Lance and walked up towards her grandfather. âGrandpa, this is my birthday gift for you. I remembered orchids were your favorite. I hope youâll like them.â
âPotted flowers? How cheap!â one of the guests whispered. âThe Jones family ought to teach her proper manners.â
Gabrielle had expected that someone would say so. After all these flowers werenât anything special. Anyone could buy them at the market.
These people were at the top of the food chain and obviously wouldnât send something as cheap as flower pots as gifts.
Wendy felt a little embarrassed Gabrielleâs gift was unconventional fin someone in the Jones family. But kylo liked her gifts very much. She felt uncomfortable hearing sucknasty comments SWOT âOh my, such lovely mo orchids! The colors are striking purple and blue, I like them very much Kylo said happily. âThis is the most thoughtful gift I received today. Thank you, Gabrielle. Itâs my favorite one out of all the others.â
He didnât care how the others would feel. Those who dared to mock Gabrielleâs gifts didnât know any better.
Kylo didnât like gold jewelry, famous paintings, or vases. Those were typical. He preferred the well-chosen gifts from Gabrielle.
Even though they were a lot less expensive, he still liked them very much.
âIâm glad, grandpa. I went to the flower market some time ago and chose these because they reminded me of you. I knew youâd love them.â Gabrielle stood beside Kylo with a sweet smile on her âGabrielle, is there anything you want right now? Iâll buy it for you.â Kylo took her hand.
0 âOh, no, grandpa. Youâre supposed to receive gifts on your birthday Chot give them.â Gabrielle giggled gend. âWell, I ought to give you something for cheering me up all the time.â The butler beside Kylo hande, but a red envelope. The old man took it and gave it to Gabrielle. âThis is for you.â
She didnât need to guess how much the red pocket was worth. The shape gave it away.
âGrandfather, this is too much. ...â
âNo, you canât refuse grandpa. If you donât accept it, I wonât accept your gifts either!â Kylo pouted, pretending to be Gabrielle couldnât help but smile at her grandfatherâs antics. Then, I accept your generosity. grandpa. Thank you very much.â
âThatâs my Gabby.â Kylo smiled, his eyes twinkling,
