Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 151 The Snake Encounter It was obvious that Holly just wanted to get Westleyâs attention by lying that she Sprained her ankle. Clearly, she didnât strain her ankle or get hurt in any way. She could go around the mountain by herself without needing anyone to watch over her.
But then, there was another force of reluctance in Hollyâs heart. She didnât want to accept defeat, especially when she saw that Gabrielle had climbed the mountain and had gone very far ahead. She didnât want to look like a weakling who couldnât defeat an ordinary adopted daughter.
âWhat do you mean, Westley?â Austin asked. He took a brief look at Hollyâs back before looking at Westley intently.
âAll Iâm trying to say is that as a man, you should know what your responsibility is and take charge! You should be able to protect the woman that you came with. The topography of the Isido Mount is very intricate as we all know. If we are not careful enough, a slight accident could be irreversible,â Westley reminded Austin with a stern look on his face.
âAlthough youâre my senior cousin, Westley, I wonât take it lightly with you if you criticize me. You donât have the right to do such a thing to me. I know what my responsibility is right here and now, which is to take care of Holly. But you know that she is in love with you. Are you expecting me to follow her around? Or are you going to push her away from you so that you can let me take care of her?â Austin asked. He was furious and he made sure that Westley knew.
âHave you gone crazy, Austin? Iâm asking you. Iâm a married man for heavenâs sake. I have never had any responsibility towards Holly in the past, so why should I now? If she has a crush on me, thatâs her business and not mine. If I have to respond positively to everyone who has a crush on me, what kind of husband does that make me? I canât possibly be a good man to my wife,â
Westley said as he sneered at Austin. 4 âYou are an evil man and you also behave like a big fool You forced Gabrielle to marry you, didnât you? We all know that she never wanted to marry you.â Austin clenched his fists tightly 19 if he wanted to punch Westley at any âI never forced her to marry me. I gave her a choice and she finally chose to be with me. I know you love Gabrielle, but I need you to know that as long as I donât divorce Gabrielle, she will always remain your sister-in-law. The Morris family doesnât allow any kind of immoral relationship within the family. If you want to defend Gabrielle, it depends on whether you can challenge the authority of the Morris family or not,â Westley told him ruthlessly. 3 He just wanted this cousin of his to know who he was and also know his boundaries as regards his wife.
âDonât think that Iâm afraid of you, Westley. I know what to do and I donât need you to tell me,â Austin yelled at him angrily. He was mad at himself for not being able to take Gabrielle from him.
He had seen countless times that Gabrielle was not happy to stay with Westley and her so-called husband was not interested in keeping her, neither did he want to take care of her.
âYou can open your mouth and say that youâre not afraid of me. I know that. But the Foster Family is afraid of me. You know that the Foster Group is now fused with the Morris Group, so you should better think twice before you react. I donât want our relationship as brothers in this family to be destroyed, and in the same way, I donât want my aunt trapped in this dilemma,â
Westley explained to him. He cared about the whole situation. He wanted Austin to know the kind of situation he was in and how to act accordingly.
âYou! How dare...â
Austin shouted as he gritted his teeth in anger. He was unable to utter another word.
He felt that what Westley was saying was right. The Foster family as it were, was now half attached to the Morris Group. And since Westley was the CEO of the Morris Group, he could remove the Foster Group anytime or any day he felt dissatisfied with them.
If this should happen, Austin and his mother would be the ones to suffer for it. It would affect his own home and also his motherâs home. Both of them were very important to him.
For this reason, he had to think twice so that he wouldnât dare to ruin the solid relationship between the two families.
âAs youâre thinking about what Iâve said, try to catch up with Holly and keep an eye on her. I have to go and look for my wife.â As soon as he said these words, he turned around and moved away.
There were several ways to get up to the mountain. Westley knew that Holly had chosen the main one and for this reason, he decided not to go through that way so that he wouldnât have to collide with her again. He chose another path.
Although Westley didnât like climbing the mountain, he had climbed the mountain on several occasions because Zaid and Miley had built their house right at the foot of Isido Mount. As a result of this, he knew his way around the place very well.
So it was a piece of cake for him to find a path to go up the mountain since he knew his way around.
On the other hand, Gabrielle climbed up the mountain so fast in the beginning She not only left Westley far behind, but also Mia.
After a while, she stopped and waited for Mia because she also felt tired.
âHow could you have climbed up so fast, Gabrielle. My legs are broken into shreds. Are you tired?â Mia complained as she walked slowly towards her. She was trying to catch her breath. She discovered that Gabrielle wasnât any match for her.
Gabrielle wiped the sweat off her brows and looked at Mia with a smirk on her face. She said to Mia, âYes, Iâm tired. Just a little though. Letâs have a rest, shall âI told you to slow down while running 50 that you wonât be too tired or hurt your legs. Now that you have stopped all of a sudden, your muscles would be easily damaged. Mr. Morris would be worried sick about you by now,â Mia teased her. She always looked for an Opportunity to talk about Westley to Gabrielle, Only Gabrielle saw when Holly fell into Westleyâs arms, pretending that she had sprained her ankle, but Mia didnât because she had her back turned to them then Gabrielle was happy that Mia didnât see such a scenario because if she did, she would have teased her with it.
âDo you think he worries about anything? Of course not. He doesnât even have the time to worry his head about me.â Gabrielle said sarcastically. âBesides, I can take care of myself,â she added with a smile.
âHe must be still busy with Holly.â she thought to herself silently. She didnât know if Hollyâs sprain was serious or not. If it was serious, he might have to carry her down the mountain.
The more she thought about how Holly fell into his arms, the more upset she felt.
âGabrielle, donât think about it anymore. By the way, your marriage with Westley is just a sham. You are not supposed to care about who he hugs and who he carries. It is none of your business really!â she tried to reassure herself as she thought deeply.
âOh, your words are sharp and acidic like vinegar,â Mia said as she looked at her with an evil smile.
âTell me the truth, are you jealous?â Mia peered at her closely still smiling, âOf course not! Why should I be?
I donât like being jealous. If you want to continue to climb the mountain, stop talking nonsense before I squeeze your little mouth!â
Gabrielle rolled her eyes at Mia and stood up. She continued to climb up the stairs.
Just when she had taken a few steps, she saw some beautiful wildflowers nearby. She wanted to take photos at a close distance, so she walked over carefully with her mobile phone.
But as she moved closer, all of a sudden, she found a thumb-sized cyan snake under the flower branch sticking out its tongue at her, which made her frightened and unable to move.
One of the things she feared most in her life were snakes. Whether dead or alive. she just didnât like seeing them. She was so scared to see the snake that her leps trembled and she couldnât move an inch, âWhatâs wrong with you, Gabrielle? Are you okay?â Mia asked immediately when she found out that she was looking at something in fear.
âMia, snake! Thereâs a snake here! Thereâs a snake! What do you think I should do?â She was so petrified that she couldnât make herself run away. She just stood where she was and was at a loss for what to do.
âWhat do I do now? Will I die here?â she asked herself as she shook silently. All she could think about was whether she would be bitten by a snake.
âAre you afraid of snakes, Gabrielle?â As Mia looked at her trembling body, she could tell that Gabrielle was afraid. She didnât even need to give her an answer.
âWell, Iâm very afraid of snakes. My legs canât move now even if I want to. Will I be bitten? What do we do right now?â she was almost on the verge of crying. She was so scared that her voice was trembling. a âStay there! Donât move!â A manâs voice bellowed from the path in front of Gabrielle.
