Chapter 69 Outright Refusal

Mia and Gabrielle were still together. Mia smiled from ear to car when she thought about Gabrielle and her brother being together. She would do everything within her p er to make sure that they became closer, What gladdened her heart the more was when she heard her praise her brother. She WAS Overjoyed beyond words.

“I’m so happy that there is a possibility of my brother being with you. Do you think that my brother is a good man? Would you like to be My sister-in-law? Besides, it would be a nice thing for you to promise that you’ll matty Micheal to thank him for saving your life,” Mia said with so much excitement written all over her. She was so happy that she even swayed her body from side to side as she spoke. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mia, I’rni sorry, but what I’m about to say will surely discourage you. Your brother and i can only be friends. There can’t be anything more than that between us,” she said as she looked at her seriously.

Mia’s face fraze and she looked at her completely confused. She wondered what was wrong. “Why. Gabrielle? Is there anything wrong with my brother? Did he do anything that you didn’t like? Talk to me; let

me know.” she asked her with so much

xiety in her voice

“Na, he didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that Mr Robinson is a very good man. I don’t think I deserve hun.” She shook her head as She said this. 11

“Why? I think you are a good girl You are beautiful and kind at heart. It is rare to meet such a girl like you these days. My brother needs a girlfriend like you in his life.” Mia. looked at her pleadingly.

All this while, she had thought that Micheal and Gabrielle would be together.

It was surprising to hear that Micheal. who had always been aloof and celibate, wauld have some sort of interest ini Gabrielle. She was in support because she knew that his object of attraction was a very nice person. She thought there was still an opportunity for them to improve their relationship.

But right now, her plans had failed woefully

She felt so downcast that she had to put her head down for some seconds.

“Mia, I need you to listen to me first. I don’t know why you respect me the way you do, but I’m not as good as you think. Your brother and I just know each other for a short time. You haven’t even known me for that

lane. How can you think that I’m a nice perol, nice enough to be with your larother: Gabrielle asked her with so much Nerius . Actually, she was honored by the fact that Mia, who had known her for such a short time thaught she was po, but she felt that she didn’t deserve such honer. ‘Not me,’ she thought to herself quictly.

“You Te a good girl, Gabrielle. I remerker vividly the day you helped me. Everyone WAB Watching a play that night; nobody wanted to look in my direction. You were the only one who wanted to give me a helping hand. Sometimes, it doesn’t take time to know a person for others, they may not know each other all their lives. While some can completely understand each other in just a Second,” Mia suid seriously with a smile plastered on her face.

Gabrielle was shocked by Mia’s words, because she thought of herself and her brother, Bryce. She and Bryce had known Each other for half a lifetime. Besides, they had lived under the same roof for twenty years, but she hadn’t know him and what he was capable of until now

“Gabrielle, what I said makes sense, right? You and my brother…”

“Ma, I’m married.” She had to cut her short. Actually, she didn’t want to break up Mia’s

fantasy, but the reality at hand was very bruial

The smile on Mia’s face froze. She didn’t understand what she meant by such 1 Statement. She understood, but tidn’t want la believe it. It took her a while to come back to her sense

“Gabrielle, I don’t understand. What did you just say? You have gotten harried? Are you just pulling my legs? Tell me that you’re just teasing me and I’ll believe you” Mia didn’t believe what she had said just now. Helal all It couldn’t be live.

Gabrielle seemed to be in her early twenties. It was clear that she hadn’t graduated from university yet. “How could she be mathed?” she reasoned 5 she shook her head in

“Ha-ha, Gabrielle: your joke is not funny it all. Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? 1. don’t believe it. If you had said that you have a boyfriend or a fiance, I can still believe it. But I won’t believe that you’re married. If you don’t like my brother, I can understand because I don’t want my brother to maty a woman who doesn’t love him and has no ferlings for him,” she said in a hurry, Gabrielle understood what she meant by that..

Considering all of these, Mia would never believe that she was married,

OF Counde Gabrielle could understand how she felt. If she wire in her shoes, she would

“Mia, you know I can’t deceive you with such a statement. I’ll gain nothing by lying to you. If you don’t believe me, I can’t force you. I’m just telling you how the whole situation is. I’m mamed and I have a husband. And for this reason, I can’t be with your brother. I Can’t betray my husband and any marriage.” she said to her, hoping that she would understand better.

To put it bluntly, the marriage between Westley and Gabrielle was nothing but a marriage of atonement as there was no love between them. She played the role of a scapegoat instead of a legally married

wife. Although she said that she couldn’t betray her marriage and her husband, she was just scared of what Westley would do ta the Jones should she escape from this prison called marrage.

This time around, Mia finally believed what she had said. She had to accept the reality that Gabrielle was married and that there was nothing she could do about it

Since she was a married woman, Mia would not force her to be with her brother. If she did, her brother would be referred to as the other man’

“I’m so sorry, Mia. I didn’t tell you that I was married at the beginning, which made you misunderstand and get Mr. Hobinson imzolved. I know it’s very embarrassine.” Gabrielle apologized as soon as she saw Mia’s facial expression

“What forense. If a person found that the woman she wanted to make a match for her brother was a married woman, how would that person be happy? My brother almast became “the other man who almost interrupted the marriage of someone else. I had almost destroyed Gabrelle’s marriage unknowingly. It would have been much more disastrous,’ she thought silently.

“Gabrielle, I should be the one to apologize. I was the one who made matched you with my brother before I was able to figure out what had happened. I’m so SOTY. I hope this didn’t affect your relationship with your husband. Your husband doesn’t know you had dinner with my brother, does he? What kind of man is your husband? I’m sure he loves you very much, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have mamed him at such a young ate.” Mia analyzed quickly without waiting for her

‘Love me very much?’ Gabrielle laughed within hersell.

But the fact Wills that Westley hated her so

much that if he had the opportunity to kill her he would do 50 without balling 11

“Well, it’s okay.” She was not interested in answering Mia s numerous questions,

“Oh, I would love to see your husband. What kind of man is he? Hope he knows that he is so lucky to be married to you? Have you both been together since childhood People who have been lovers from childhood have a kind of relationship that is super beautiful night from when they were young. When they grow up, they get married and stay together for the rest of their lives. It’s a happy thing to think about. It’s so lovely.” Mia said as she smiled with delight.

Gabrielle smiled bitterly because what Mia had said was really what she had imagined a long time ago. But the person whom she had imaged was not her current husband, Westley, but Bryce.

When she found out that she no longer treated Bryce as her brother, but a lover, she had secretly imagined that they would grow up, get married, and spend the rest of their lives happily

But the reality of life was cruel. She was just an adopted daughter of the Jones and didn’t deserve to marry Bryce at all. Besides, when Bryce knew that she had a crush on him, he

always avoided her. He must have thought she was repulsive.

“What’s the matter. Gabrielle? Have I said anything wrong” Seeing that she was in a state of shock, Mia asked with concern.

“Did I say too much?” Mia thought worriedly.

“No, my husband and I haven’t been together since childhood.” she said softly as soon as she came back to reality.

“Oh! That means it was love at first sight. right?” Mia said excitedly as she clapped her hands.
