Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 136 You Must Accept Your Responsibility Gabrielle didnât understand what was wrong with her body that it became so sensitive around Westley. When he touched her, she would shiver involuntarily. Her bodyâs reactions to him shamed her.
Never in her life had she been so utterly embarrassed and humiliated, but there was nothing she could do but bear it silently.
âDo you feel uncomfortable?â Westley wondered what thoughts were running through her mind when he found her covering her face with her feet curled up.
âNo, I am good. Really, Iâm fine. Can I get up first?â Gabrielle said coquettishly.
Westley found her very attractive but it was obvious that Gabrielle was unaware of her beauty.
Westley had always prided himself on having an ironclad self control but that control vanished when he was around Gabrielle In fact, Gabrielle did not get better at all. She thought that she was useless because she couldnât even complete the simple task of drying her hair without falling down.
Westley picked her up and carried her to the bed silently.
Westley found that Gabrielleâs face was extremely red when she finally dropped her hands from her face.
âThank you, Westley.â Gabrielle could not say anything else. She stared at him. uneasily.
Westley scanned her from head to toe with a cold look on his face.
âAre you sure you donât need Remy to come here?â Westley asked with great concern.
Gabrielle shook her head immediately. âYes, Iâm fine. Donât bother Dr. Remy anymore.
In fact, Remy had told Gabrielle that her episodes were more frequent when she was around Westley. If she informed him that she was injured again, Westley would be blamed. The fact that she had fallen to the ground while drying her hair was so embarrassing.
She would never allow anyone other than Westley to witness her humiliation, Therefore, she couldnât let Remy come.
âChange your clothes.â Westley took a new shirt from the wardrobe and threw it at her.
Gabrielle didnât realize that her shirt had gotten wet when she fell on the floor until that moment.
She would need to change different shirt.
into a Gabrielle held the new shirt and stared at Westley in confusion. âDo you really want me to wear it?â
âWhy not? Or you want to sleep naked?â Westley raised his eyebrows and coughed a Gabrielle was unsure what reply to give to him. If she was alone, she would have considered sleeping naked. But they were sharing the room tonight, so it was impossible for her to sleep in the nude.
âTâll change my shirt.â
Westley opened the door and left without saying a word.
Seeing the door closed, Gabrielle didnât know what he thought of her. He might decide that she was stupid.
After all, only few people could fall to the ground while drying their hair like she had just done.
She felt that she behaved less elegant in front of him each time.
âDo not forget, Gabrielle, you are a fake couple. When Nellie comes back, the two of you will be divorced and you will never have to face Westley again. He will no longer care whether you are elegant or not.
Westley doesnât care about you so it does not matter whether you look good or not.
That thought was what finally got through to Gabrielle.
Downstairs in the dining room, Westley leaned against the bar counter while making coffee. He stared out of the window expressionlessly.
âItâs late at night. What are you thinking about?â Miley asked as she walked towards him Miley got out of bed when she heard sounds of movement from downstairs. She always knew that Westley and Gabrielle were not in love neither did they have a sound relationship. Westley was angry at being forced to stay with a woman he didnât love.
Westley was the kind of man that would never do something that was forced on He got along with Gabrielle now. He was willing to do things for her, even bringing her to Mileyâs house when she asked him to. It meant that he loved her at least, a Perhaps even Westley himself didnât notice it.
Miley was just watching the drama between them now. If she could, she would help them promote it. Anyway. she would ensure they didnât separate.
âGrandma, did I wake you up? Or do you feel uncomfortable?â Westley asked, glancing at Miley nervously.
After she suffered from a serious illness, Mileyâs health was never the same again. It became quite normal for her to suffer from one minor sickness or the other.
âYou brat; you are cursing me! Iâm not that weak, okay? Itâs not easy for me to fall asleep early as Iâm getting old. Is everything okay with Gabrielle?â Miley asked with a smile.
How was it going with Gabrielle?
âNot so well,â he thought to himself.
The only thought occupying his mind was Gabrielleâs slender and fair legs.
He didnât want to talk about her now She was a scourge to him.
âDid you two fight? Is that why you came downstairs to drink coffee? You have never had such a habit before,â Miley told him frankly after she had stared at him for a while.
The coffee was just ready. Westley took it over, blew on it gently and took a sip.
He had brought the beans with him the last time he visited. There was a coffee machine in Mileyâs house in the countryside, which was convenient for him to use at any time since he liked drinking coffee, but it was rarely used.
It was really strange for him to come downstairs to make coffee tonight. No wonder Miley was confused and disturbed by it.
âGrandma, I wonât quarrel with Gabrielle. You know, we are just a fake couple.â Westley stared at Miley sternly.
Miley certainly could understand what he meant.
âI donât care about your relationship. As long as you are married to her, you have to be responsible for her. Men in the Morris family are responsible.â The smile disappeared from Mileyâs face and she became solemn.
âGrandma, responsibility and love are two totally different things,â Westley replied coldly He had always been scrupulous in separating his public interests from his private ones and it would not be changed by anyone.
âSince you know that, you canât do anything bad to her.â Miley liked this girl from the bottom of her heart. Since Gabrielle was the daughter-in-law of the Momis family now, she couldnât suffer from anything. 5
