Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 146 What If I Say No Hollyâs face slightly contorted in surprise. She had thought that Westley would have accompanied Miley right from the start of the mountain. After all, it wouldnât have been sale for Gabrielle and Miley to climb the mountain by themselves.
But then Holly thought about the kind of man Westley was. He was known for being an arrogant, lone wolf, not for his kindness.
Even when he had been around Helena, he had reluctantly agreed to go hiking after much forcing and encouraging by her.
But after hearing what Mia said, Holly was sure that Westley had come with Miley and Gabrielle from the start.
Thinking of this, Holly felt a sharp, sad stab in her heart.
Holly didnât feel good about this. It was bad enough that Westley had accompanied Miley and Gabrielle to the mountain, but it was even worse that Gabrielle was actually here in the same place as Holly âMiss Edwards, whatâs wrong?â Mia was overjoyed when she saw Hollyâs face had gone pale.
She had guessed right.
Holly was jealous.
How could she to try her attempts on him now that he was Gabrielleâs husband?
âIâm fine. You mentioned ... Did Westley come with you?â Holly called Westley by his name, displaying the intimacy she felt towards him by doing so.
It was Westley.
How did Holly have the audacity to call Westley by his first name like that? This indicated some type of underlying issue.
Gabrielle was unaccustomed to fighting Holly face to face so openly, but Mia would help her.
âYes, Mr. Morris is competing against my brother now in climbing up the mountain. I do believe my brother will have the upper hand because Mr. Morris has to carry Gabrielleâs backpack and itâs going to be an added burden for him to climb the mountain with it,â Mia said dramatically.
Gabrielle couldnât help but glare at Mia when she said this. âLetâs not exaggerate, Mia. My backpack barely has anything in it; itâs not heavy at all.â
âGabrielle is right. Westley will be able carry a small bag without much weight. It will be a piece of cake for him for sure. * Miley agreed with Gabrielle.
A shadow fell over Hollyâs face. Not only did Westley accompany Gabrielle to climb the mountain, but he was also carrying her belongings for her now What did that mean?
It meant that he thought very highly of Gabrielle and she had secured a special place in his heart. Why else then, with the kind of temper that he had, would he agree to carry her bag if he didnât want It was obvious he had volunteered to do So, without anyone forcing him to.
The more Holly thought about it, the less she could stand it all. Westley shouldnât have been so good to Gabrielle, albeit accompanying her here. He shouldnât have betrayed Helena this way. I very uncomfortable. Youâd better not climb the mountain now. I think you should go back and have a rest.â Mia seemed to care about Holly very much.
Holly did look a little unwell as all the color had drained from her face. She was tired, sure, but those who knew her well would know why she felt this way.
âItâs okay. The studio has been open for a few days, and Iâve been really busy and sleep-deprived. Thatâs why I came to ease the tension by climbing this mountain today. I also didnât want to come alone, which is why I invited Austin to accompany me,â Holly explained Austin didnât say a word the entire time. He followed them at his own pace, but his eyes were fixated on Gabrielle the whole way He heard everything they said. He hadnât expected Westley to change so much.
He had loved Helena in the past, but he certainly didnât go out of his way for her, let alone accompany her on hikes and carry her backpacks for her, like he was doing for Gabrielle.
But he had heard gossip and rumors that Westley had dragged Gabrielle here and forced her into a fake marriage as a punishment for Bryce spiriting away Nellie.
Now, however, it didnât seem to be a fake marriage. Austin realized that Westley had truly fallen in love with Gabrielle âI didnât expect Austin to so leisurely to accompany someone on a hike up a mountain. Of course, I guess he would if the person is beautiful.â Mia joked.
Austin glanced at her indifferently and then continued to gaze at Gabrielle, âWeâre just friends. Holly just said she wanted to climb the mountain, and I wanted to visit Grandma so I thought Iâll come.â
Austin was not the kind of man to chor 146 what I say accompany people on hikesâmore so not Holly if she was the beauty they were referring to âSo Brother Austin, you are here to visit Grandma, is it?â Gabrielle asked him interestedly.
âI came here mainly to visit Grandma and to climb the mountain with Holly. I havenât been out for a long time. I went to Grandmaâs house first, but there was no one there. I guessed that she had come here to climb the mountain, but I didnât expect you and my cousin would also be here.â Austin just told the truth.
Gabrielle finally understood that all of this was Hollyâs idea. Austinâs first priority was to visit his Grandma and his second was to accompany Holly, who was just his ordinary friend.
What would Holly make of this?
Holly didnât look good. What happened to these men? None of them took her into consideration at all.
Obviously she was much better than Gabrielle, but none of these men cared about her as much On one hand, Westley married Gabrielle, and on the other it seemed that Austin also cared about her as much, âWait! Does Austin really care about Gabrielle?
What was the relationship between the two of them?
Holly had never thought about the relationship between Austin and Gabrielle. But now it seemed that they were not indeed strangers, nor were they cousins.
Holly knew that there were many people in Antawood that called him Austin, but few people actually called him Brother Austin, especially women. And Gabrielle still called him Brother Austin...
It must be Austinâs acquiescence that she called him that. âWhat a scheming woman!â u âYes. Westley and I came here yesterday and stayed with Grandma for two days, and then Grandma took us to climb Isido Mount today. We didnât expect to meet you here, though. Will you be coming to Chpter 146 M IST Grandmaâs mansion today?â Gabrielle asked Austin curiously.
Since Austin was Mileyâs grandson it wouldnât be surprising for him to visit her and stay there.
But Holly was different. She was essentially an outsider even though she was the granddaughter from a noble family. Moreover, Miley did not care much for Holly. so it was uncertain whether she would invite Holly over to her house âI just want to see how Grandma is doing, and if sheâs happy and well. If you welcome me and would like me to, of course I will stay.â Austin joked.
Miley pursed her lips and smiled at him playfully. âAustin, when did you become 50 polite? Youâre welcome to come over and stay whenever you like.â
âYes, yes, Grandma, Iâm sorry for being so polite. Can I stay at yours today if possible?â Austin was not only asking Miley, but also insinuating at Gabrielle as she would be staying there, too.
âWhat if I say no?â A low, charming sort of voice belonging to a male cut in.
