Chapter 43 I Do Admire Gabrielle
Vincent’s words were too harsh. With the whole family present, Ryan’s
expression instantly darkened, while Daniel and Rachel exchanged
uncomfortable glances.
I silently brushed away Vincent’s hand off my waist, shooting him an
angry glare.
It was bad enough that he suspected something between Ryan and
me in private, but now he’s airing it out in front of everyone?
Just as the tension grew thick, Henry suddenly slammed a glass down, his face filled with angry, “I APPROVED him helping find Toby!
He’s trying to help, and instead of showing gratitude, you say such
nonsense?”
“Grandpa, don’t be angry. I just think Uncle Ryan’s way too involved
with Gabby. Everyone knows he’s usually cold and keeps to himself, so why’s he suddenly all up in Gabby’s affairs?” Vincent shot Ryan a
defiant glance.
“Yeah, it’s weird—-I didn’t expect Ryan to save Gabby during the
shooting-” Daniel added, chiming in.
I bit my lips together, clenching my hands unconsciously.
To be honest, their suspicions made sense. Even I, who was directly
involved, couldn’t understand why Ryan would do all of this.

“What’s so weird about it? We’re family–isn’t it normal to help each other out?” Henry shot a warning look at both Vincent and Daniel. “Instead of making baseless accusations, why don’t you focus on finding Toby?”
“Grandpa, you’re defending him! He’s eyeing my wife–can’t I say anything about it?” Vincent persisted, seemingly determined to push this confirmation today.
As Henry was about to lose his temper again, Ryan spoke coldly, “Yes, I do admire Gabrielle. But we’ve never done anything inappropriate. You, on the other hand, made headlines with Claire May–it’s perfectly
normal for Gabrielle to want a divorce.”
“Vincent, instead of looking for faults in others, maybe you should
take a good look at yourself and what you’ve done wrong!” Ryan
finished, a cold smirk playing on his handsome face.
In my memory, Ryan was always a man of few words. This was the
first time I’d heard him lecture Vincent like this! And every word hit the
mark.
“What he said is exactly what I wanted to say,” I added, exchanging a smile with Ryan.
Although, when I thought about his words- “I do admire Gabrielle,” my
heart started racing.
He actually admitted in front of everyone that he admired me? To be
admired by such a respected legal expert–I was completely flattered!

But I was just a regular housewife–what could someone like Ryan
possibly see in me?
Henry glared at Vincent, disappointment clear in his eyes, “Ryan’s
right, Vincent. You need to reflect on your own actions.”
Vincent, clearly upset about being called out in front of everyone,
couldn’t find a retort. Finally, he muttered, “Those trending headlines
were all fake. There’s nothing between Claire and me.”
“Only you know if that’s true,” I shot him a cold look and slowly stood
- up. “Grandpa, I’m tired. I think I’ll head home to rest.”
“Vincent mentioned you moved into that apartment?” Henry took my hand gently. “Why don’t you move back in with Vincent? You’re marrie
d–living apart isn’t good.”
“No, Grandpa,” I refused without hesitation. “I need some time alone.”
“Gabby, do you still want to divorce Vincent?” Henry suddenly asked,
his voice trembling.
