Stay in My Heart Forever novel Chapter 3

"Gabrielle, when we reach Lu Mansion, please shut up after greeting everyone. Don't be chatty," said Westley.

"I know," Gabrielle responded robotically, then turned back to the window. The morning light was beautiful. She wished she was quietly sitting in a garden somewhere instead of being locked in here with this scary man.-

"Mr. Lu, may I ask you something?" Gabrielle looked at Westley and asked.

"Why did your fiancee run away before the wedding?" Gabrielle asked fearlessly. It was time to make him vulnerable. What made him think he could command her like this and blame his brother for everything?

Gabrielle had heard some rumors about Westley a long time ago.

This man had been hurt at that position long time ago, so he was impotent. He had never been married or had any scandal, just because he couldn't do that.

Before they got married, his fiancee had run away from the wedding. Surely, Bryce couldn't be the only one to blame.

"What are you trying to say?" Westley turned to look at her with coldness in his eyes.

"I am just wondering why you can't find her with your resources and power. With your ability and reach, I am sure you can find her faster than the Song family.

"Are you really trying to preach reason to me? It was Bryce who took her away, so it is him who must bring her back. Bear in mind that if I send someone to look for them, they will return with Bryce's corpse. Would you like that?"

said Westley coldly.

His words pierced into Gabrielle's heart. A chill ran through her spine.

She could not let that happen!

"Mr. Lu, I will try my best to contact my brother and ask him to bring back Miss Jiang as soon as possible."

Gabrielle spoke with resolve.

She knew he was a terrible person, and yet she had struck up the conversation. Stupid girl!

The two of them remained silent the rest of the ride. The car finally drove into the Lu Mansion's driveway.

As per tradition, all the elders of the family were waiting in the living room to greet the newly-weds.

Gabrielle had been directly taken to the wedding venue yesterday. As soon as the ceremony was over, she was sent to the bridal chamber with someone she didn't know. She had still not met anyone from the family other than Westley. As she entered the mansion, she was taken by its grandeur. As soon as her eyes shifted to the elders, she became nervous and anxious. Without realizing, she extended her hand to pull Westley close to her for support, but he went straight inside ahead of her.

With her shoes small and uncomfortable, her feet ached terribly. Walking in, she even twisted her ankle nervously.

She was about to fall down when a big hand held her

wrist.

"Are you okay?" A voice of concern rang in her ears from behind.

"Thank you. I'm fine." Gabrielle thanked the man who had supported her, glad that she hadn't made a total fool of herself.

"Gabrielle? Oh, my god! What are you doing here?" The man who spoke was Austin Ji. His tone was gleeful and surprised!

"Au... Austin?" Gabrielle was even more shocked when she saw Austin's face.

Gabrielle used to work as an intern in a jewelry design studio. Austin was her boss's cousin. He often visited the office, so she knew him well.

She hadn't expected to see Austin here, but surely was glad to see a familiar face.

"Yes! It's me! Lu family is my grandmother's home. Why are you here? And why are you dressed like this?" Austin asked in disbelief.

Austin hadn't been able to make it to the wedding ceremony. By the time he had arrived, the ceremony was over and the bride had left. He had thought Westley had married Nellie!

"I..." Gabrielle started, feeling self-conscious.
