Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 138 Isido Mount It was still late in the night and everywhere was calm. Gabrielle and Westley were still in the room. Her face immediately turned red in despair when she heard what he had said. As she looked at him, she couldnât say anything in refutation. The only thing she could do was to stare at him in anger.
âTake your fierce eyes off me, Gabrielle. You do not have any right to look at me in such a manner!â
Westley yelled at her ruthlessly. He wasnât comfortable with the way she kept staring at him. What right does she have to look at me that way?â he thought to himself angrily She was not a tenderhearted girl who would allow people to intimidate her in any way they liked and because of this, she felt very upset when she heard his domineering words. She felt unhappy when she thought of how authoritative he was to her. I She had helped him to wash his clothes out of kindness and now he was talking to her anyhow. Did she do something wrong? Was this the price she had to pay for being considerate?
She felt grievance pouring out of her heart as she tried to hold back her tears because she didnât want him to see her cry like a baby.
âLook at me, Westley, and listen carefully. Iâm not a pervert and i will never be one. I donât like menâs underwear, let alone the one that belongs to you!â she screamed aloud as she looked at him with pain in her eyes.
Tears welled up in her red and sore eyes, but she was determined not to let them fall on her face. She held them back boldly.
As soon as he saw the tears in her eyes, he felt sorry for her immediately. He hated it when women cried around him, let alone his wife, Gabrielle.
He even felt bad when he saw the tears that she was doing her best to hold back, suddenly pour out, âWhat I meant was that you washed my underwear, which means that either you like it or you like me and so that was why you helped to wash it,â he said calmly.
All of a sudden, what he said made her choke.
âMe? Do you mean me? Like you?â
She paused for some seconds before talking again. âIt seems like youâve been thinking too much these past few days. I donât like your underwear and I donât like you, either. Iâm tired. Iâm going to bed,â she remarked in a firm tone and looked at him without blinking, Westley knew her temper very well. He also knew that she could easily lose it. After hesitating for a while, he finally let go of her hand.
Without saying a word more, she went straight to the bed, climbed on it, and covered her whole body with the quilt.
As he looked at the bulging figure under the quilt, he felt that she was small and cute. The anger he felt in his heart just now seemed to fizzle out all of a sudden.
As he turned away from looking at her, he glanced at the basket and siw that there were two white shirts lest in it that he hadnât noticed. One was changed by him some moments ago while the other one was changed by his wife just before she had her bath.
Mr. Morris Who had never washed or dried clothes in his life promptly bent down and took the shirts out to dry.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle was still covered with the quilt. The more she thought about what happened between her and her husband, the more resentful she felt. âHow could he talk to me in such a way?â she asked herself silently as the tears kept pouring out. Her body trembled for a while before she finally slept off.
When he was done hanging the clothes outside, Westley smoked a cigarette on the balcony before coming back inside the bedroom. By the time he got to bed, she was already fast asleep. When he lifted the quilt, he saw the tear stains on her white fair face.
âShe must have been hurting. . he thought to himself as he felt bad all over. âI shouldnât have spoken to her like that.â
As soon as he laid down, Gabrielle curled up to his side and held him fondly with both hands and feet.
He contorted his face in a frown and tried to pull her away. but at that instance, he saw tears coming out of the comer of her eyes and changed his mind, Instead, he pulled the quilt over both of them and covered them well.
When Gabrielle woke up in the morning. the sun was shining brightly outside and some of the light entered the room.
Westley was already out of bed and she didnât see him anywhere around the room. She quickly cleaned herself up and went to the balcony to take her clothes inside and put them on. Thankfully, it was summer and her clothes were already dried in such a short time.
By the time she came downstairs, she saw Miley making breakfast, but she didnât see Westley. Her eyes scanned everywhere for him, but she still didnât see any trace of him.
âGood morning, grandma! Youâre up so early.
âGood moming, Gabrielle. Breakfast is ready. Come and have yours,â
Miley replied to her greeting happily and invited her to have breakfast.
Gabrielle sat down obediently and looked at Miley with uncertainty.
âGabrielle, if you have any questions, just ask, or is there anything you want to tell me?â Miley asked as she looked at her.
âWell, grandma... Where is Westley? I didnât see him when I woke up this moming.â she asked as she mustered up the courage.
âActually. Alvin came here early this morning to give you some things. Your bags are there,â she said as she pointed at them.
âYou can take them up after eating breakfast. As for Westley, he and Alvin are outside talking about something in the car,â Miley explained to her with a motherly smile on her face.
Gabrielle took a glance at the sofa in the living room. There were two bags on it. One was white and the other was black, and they were very breathtaking âLetâs have breakfast first. After that, Iâll take you to the Isido Mount later in the day. The last time you and Sloane wanted to climb the mountain, you had no chance to do so, did you?â Miley questioned as she looked at her.
âWell, immediately we got to the foot of the mountain, it started raining heavily. We didnât want to risk our lives and so we didnât climb and ever since then, we havenât had the chance to come over again,â she explained to Miley That very day, she and Sloane had planned to climb the Isido Mount so that they could vent their anger. But unfortunately, when they got to the foot of the mountain, heavy rain started. Because of that, they decided not to climb the mountain again, but strolled around the surrounding villages. Afterwards, it rained more and more heavily that they couldnât catch up with the bus back to the city. They had to stay in one of the villages till the next day.
âDonât worry about that. In a short while, grandma would take both of you to the mountain.â Miley was happy as she said this.
Gabrielle looked at her with a hint of wonty in her eyes. âAre you sure you want to climb the mountain, grandma? Are you strong enough to do that?â Gabrielle asked apprehensively.
âGabrielle, donât look down on your grandma. Although Iâm very old, vast in age and I got a disease a few years ago, my body is still very strong. I have to climb the Isido Mount once every week. Speaking of which, you may not ever be my match. Iâm surely going to outrun you,â Miley said with excitement written all over her.
Gabrielle was convinced when she said this because she knew that Miley was very strong âWill Westley go with us too?â she asked in disbelief. She felt that he might not want to come with them.
âOf course, we are all going together,â Miley said as she caressed Gabrielleâs soft cheeks.
Gabrielle smiled and didnât say anything more. She kept eating so that she could have enough strength to climb the As soon as Westley and Alvin were done with their conversation, they came in. They saw how Gabrielle was gobbling the food in front of her. She didnât know that she stuffed her mouth with food just like a little hamster. When she saw them, she was shocked and looked at them with her big eyes, almost choking to death.
âGabrielle, donât be in such a hurry, you still have enough time,â Miley said to her as he handed her a glass of water.
Gabrielle took it from her and gulped it down immediately.
âHumph, thank you, grandma. I feel so much better.â She looked at Miley gratefully.
âGabrielle, donât eat in such a hurry again, or else you will choke to death.â Miley advised her as she gently rubbed Gabrielleâs back.
âGabrielle, you are the elegant lady of the Morris family. Donât be like someone who just crawled out of a refugee camp, People who donât know you now will think that I maltreat you and donât give you enough food. They wouldnât know that you just like swallowing food like a thief,â
Westley said as he sat next to her and took a bite of the deep-fried dough stick Gabrielle looked at him and didnât want to say anything. Although this husband of hers didnât abuse her on food issues, he could abuse her just anywhere he deemed fit.
âWhat are you talking about, Westley? Iâm happy to see that Gabrielle is enjoying the food. You just like causing us trouble on purpose.â Miley frowned at The food was delicious to Gabrielle which was why she ate in such a manner. It was as though she wanted to swallow everything up including the plates.
