Chapter 687 Not Willing To
Jax felt embarrassed when Gabrielle dodged his hand, but he didn't show it on his face as he covered
up with a smile.
"Gabrielle, you look like you are about to fall any second. Can't I even help you?" Jax rubbed his nose
slightly to ease his embarrassment.
He just wanted to help her, seeing how she was wobbling, but Gabrielle dodged. He felt a little sad.
However, he mustered up a smile and chose to respect her. After all, he had never thought of doing
anything that could make her unhappy.
"No, thanks, Jax. I'm not drunk yet. Don't worry." Gabrielle waved her hand and smiled at him.
Although her smile looked very gentle as usual, Jax knew that it was a complete refusal to him.
He didn't say anything more and just followed her out while keeping his distance from her.
At the sight of this scene, people began to criticize, "How hypocritical she is!"
"She is so proud and arrogant even though she is nothing more than an adopted daughter."
"Don't talk about her so carelessly. Have you heard of what happened to Emily? Because she had a
fight with Gabrielle, the Garcia family is nearly unable to keep a foothold in Antawood."
Due to this, the girls who liked to gossip didn't dare to do so anymore. This incident had been known
by almost everyone in Alorith University.
Even though they felt happy that someone as - as Emily was expelled from university, they
didn't want the same thing to happen to them.
It was obvious that the misfortune of Emily had something to do with Gabrielle, so they'd better watch
their mouth.
It could be assumed that Gabrielle's background was very powerful. Otherwise, Austin and Jaxnoveldrama
wouldn't have been protecting and courting her this.
'Forget it. Anyway, we'd better watch our mouth. Don't gossip about others or the consequence would
be unimaginable.'
As soon as Gabrielle and Jax walked out, a man in a black suit came out from under the shade of a tree.
The moment Gabrielle saw the man's face, a grin ese on her face and she rushed to him happily.
"Honey, are you here to pick me up?"
Gabrielle was so excited to see Westley when Jax, who was standing next to her a moment ago, had disbelief expression on his face.
'This man is Westley Morris, the CEO of the Morris Group and also the most famous big shot in Antawood! What's going on? Is he the husband of Gabrielle?'
He Just heard clearly that Gabrielle had called Westley 'honey' in the endearing tone. He could also see the man holding Gabrielle with a doting and worried look on his face, in case she slipped down.
Every passerby could see that they were a couple. Westley was Gabrielle's husband!
In an instant, so many things began to make sense for Jax. No wonder Emily became like this after Gabrielle was bullied by her at school. Not to mention that because of Emily, the Garcia family almost couldn't keep a foothold in Antawood. It could oe that all of this were done by Westley for mistreating his wife.
It seemed that Westley was willing to do anything if it meant he could protect his wife.
Someone like Westley could only do things ruthlessly like this. A man like him deserved to be
Gabrielle's husband!
However, it was a shocking matter to Jax as he couldn't accept the fact at once. He looked at the
couple holding each other with a stunned look on his face.
"Mr. Morris?" Jax swallowed and called out hesitantly
He felt as if he was seeing a ghost, or rather, he was drunk, so he was having such a ridiculous illusion.
In order to prove his own guess, he closed his eyes and opened them again. Nevertheless, no matter how many times he did that, he still saw that it was indeed Westley who was holding Gabrielle in his
arms.
"Oh, right. Honey, let me introduce my classmate to you. This is Jax. Jax, this is my husband, Westley Morris. You must have heard of him, right?" Clutching the sleeve of Westley half drunk and half
awake, Gabrielle introduced them to each other.
The word "husband" made Westley very happy.
At first, they had made a deal that they wouldn't make their relationship public for the time being, but for Westley, he was ready to announce it at any time and was excited about it to do so as well. He was willing to make it public whenever Gabrielle agreed. Now that Gabrielle was willing to introduce him to others as her husband, of course Westley was over the moon. Instantly, a strong sense of pride filled his nerves. After all, this was a confirmation that he had gained an important place in Gabrielle's heart. He wanted to shout at the world to let everyone know that he was her husband, especially to the men who liked her, like Jax for example.
How could Jax not have heard of Westley? It could be said that there was no one who didn't know him in Antawood. He was like a celebrity who was more famous than the world stars.
"Mr. Morris, didn't expect that you would be Gabrielle's husband. It's so unexpected to meet you here.
Nice to meet you. I'm Jax, Gabrielle's classmate." Jax stretched his hand out as he greeted Westley -
seriously.
However, Westley had no intention of shaking hands with Jax at all. He just glanced at him coldly and
replied nothing.
Of course, Westley knew the identity of Jax and what he had been up to. This was the man who had confessed his love to Gabrielle, but was refused.
For a person like Westley, it was impossible for him not to know about the men who tried to get close to his wife. If they dared to have any ill intention towards Gabrielle, he would ask someone to deal with them immediately.
There was no way he would let anyone dangerous get close to his wife again.
His current impression of Jax was that he seemed to be a moral man as he hadn't done anything
getting out of line. If not, he would have dealt with him.
"Mr. Nelson, thank you for sending my wife to me." After a pause, Westley briefly said before holding Gabrielle in his arms. His intention was clear, he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"You're welcome, Mr. Morris. Please take good care of Gabrielle. She drank a few glasses of wine and got a bit tipsy." For a smart person like Jax, he naturally could read Westley's attitude. He knew that Westley looked down on people like him. So, he might as well stop trying to talk to him.
After all, how could a nobody like him attract the attention of a big shot like Westley?
In fact, Jax was wrong. It was not that Westley looked down upon him. It was just that Westley knew
he liked Gabrielle secretly. That was why Westley purposefully ignored him.
Towards another man who had a secret crush on his wife, wouldn't it be ridiculous if he acted friendly
to him?
No way! He wasn't willing to.
"Okay, Mr. Nelson. I'll take Gabrielle back." He didn't have much time to talk to Jax either because he wanted to take Gabrielle back to their room and make her comfortable as soon as possible.
Westley knew that Gabrielle was drunk the moment she pounced on him. He could smell the strong alcohol scent on her, but he wasn't surprised at all. After all, he had been standing under the tree for a while and witnessed Gabrielle drinking from afar.
"Honey, let's go back. Carry me, will you?" Gabrielle put her arms around his neck and whined, acting like a spoiled child. She had completely relaxed her vigilance now that she was with Westley
It was the first time that Jax had seen Gabrielle behave like this and he was stunned for a moment.
Only in front of the person she loved so much would she relax so naturally as she completely trusted that person.
"Alright, I'll carry you back." Westley lifted Gabrielle up agilely as if she weighed nothing before walking away in long strides
Even after they disappeared into the corner, Jax stood there alone for a long time, staring straight at the direction they left. His mind was full of
thoughts.
Never in a million years would he have thought that the husband of Gabrielle would possibly be Westley.
It could be seen that the relationship between Gabrielle and Westley was really good and they loved each other to the extreme. Realizing this, Jax sincerely wanted to wish them happiness, but he was not willing to. After all, he had had a crush on Gabrielle for such a long time.
