Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 670 The Center Of The Attraction And Attention

These people in the Morris family were an obnoxious bunch. They mastered being fence-sitters and would immediately side with anyone who they could suck up to and get benefits. They slithered around benefactors unnoticeably.

When they met Gabrielle before, they looked down on her with scowls on their faces. Now they were

trying to win her favor, on bended knees if they had to. How the tables had turned.

All that pretense in hopes that Westley would grant them more bonuses at the end of the year.

Unfortunately, it would all be futile. Gabrielle had never been involved in Westley's work, so whether

or not these people treated her properly was irrelevant to her. She didn't care at all.

"Gabnielle, you're not nervous now, are you? Everyone likes you," Westley asked in a calm and gentle tone, squeezing her hand.

Gabrielle only gave him a smile. She was really not expecting that so many people would give her red envelopes. It was nerve-wracking..

She had mixed feelings about the whole situation.

Looking at red envelopes in her hand, she felt as though they didn't belong to her. How easy it was to get this much money.

Gabrielle knew it was because of her status. If she wasn't the wife of the famous CEO of the Morris

Group, who would even give her so many gifts?

It was so obvious.

"As Mrs. Morris of the Morris Group, I think you should get used to it. It's what you deserve." Westley noticed her uneasiness and hesitation, so he immediately knew what was going through her mind. He assured her that it was okay.

"But still... 1 don't think I should take these," Gabrielle replied in a low voice. She sincerely thought it wasnt right.

She felt guilty taking such a huge amount of money.

"It's only right and fitting that you should. You could take whatever that comes with being my wife.

As for the wedding ceremony I promised, I'll pick the best time for it. It will be the grandest." Westley tilted his head and whispered gently in her ear.

Gabrielle blinked in surprise. Although she already knew that Westley had this idea for a while now and had always wanted to make up for what he owed her, she couldn't help but feel excited and expectant every time she heard him say it.

"Please be seated. The family feast is about to begin," Miley reminded.

Today, Miley was wearing a festive, bright red coat.

"Let's go, Gabrielle. You're the new daughter-in-law of the Morris family this year. It's your day. Enjoy

the attention," Miley cheerfully said, holding Gabrielle's hand. :

Westley asked Alvin to take care of Gabrielle's gifts and send them back to Half Moon Bay for her to open later.

"I'm glad that everyone's warming up to her."

Westley held Miley's other hand. The newlyweds walked towards the table outside with their

grandmother in between.

Westley was all smiles. Gabrielle was his beloved wife, his pride and joy. The more people praised her,

the happier he was. It meant that he had chosen the right woman. 1

He would be much more satisfied if other men held back their attraction towards his wife. Only then could he end his jealous tendencies.

"I told you Gabrielle is a lovely girl and a great wife. You should cherish her. It's a good thing you listened to me, or you would have missed out on such a wonderful young lady."

Miley was really delighted to be held by her grandchildren.

She already liked Gabrielle at first glance. Miley had always believed in her own judgment, and she had never been wrong. Now, she was fond of her even more.

Luckily, Westley didn't disappoint her. He finally captured Gabrielle's heart.

Miley was ecstatic. As long as the two of them could live happily in the future, she would be perfectly contented.

After everyone had settled down, Miley stood up and started speaking.

Sitting next to Miley, Gabrielle was amazed at the flock of guests.

Many people anticipated the arrival of the new CEO's wife today. Normally, there would be two to three hundred people waiting to meet her, but today there are more than five hundred.

Even though it was a family feast for the Morris Group's top executives, it was still a little bit scary. Gabrielle felt a little uncomfortable. She was like a monkey in a zoo that people visited. But she understood why people would flock just to see her. Since she had become Westley's wife, she had to bear the title.

That was why she started to adapt. From a shy, awkward girl, she learned to handle people's gazes without feeling too stressed.

To be honest, she didn't think it was a bad thing. They decided to spend their whole lives together. So, with the title of being Mrs. Morris, she would be exposed to the public sooner or later.

It was just a matter of time before all the people in Antawood knew of her existence.

Sometimes though, she couldn't help but feel nervous, even when standing next to Westley.

After Miley was done with her speech, she asked her people to distribute red envelopes. It was a symbol of her blessing to each person present at the event, including the staff of the villa.

Miley sat down, and Westley, the CEO of Morris Group, stood up next. This was part he needed to do annually, but this year was very special because he had a wife.

- "Gabrielle, you too. It's time we introduce you to everyone." Westley offered his hand and Gabrielle accepted it shyly. He pulled her up, and she felt really tense. But as he said, there was no turning back. She was in awe at how Westley could easily carry himself even when standing in front of this huge crowd. Maybe he had gotten used to it over time.

"Westley, is it really necessary?" Gabrielle murmured. She thought she was only going to attend dinner, not making an appearance in front of a sea of people.

"It's going to be okay. I'm here with you. You're my wife, the wife of the president of Morris Group.

It's an honor for them to meet you. They're the ones who should be nervous." Westley teased her, trying to make her feel better.

"Okay, I'll do my best." After withstanding the Morris family elders' intense gaze, she could handle

herself better now.

"You can do this. I'm right by your side. Own your status, Gabrielle. Don't be afraid,' Westley said with conviction, tightening his grip on her waist.
