Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 175 Read Online

Chapter 175 Budding Feelings Gabrielle lost her appetite. She felt insulted that Westley would suspect her of having an affair with Austin, They were schoolmates and Austin had always been there to support Gabrielle in whatever she did. She looked up to him like a brother She’d been calling him “Aus’ for the past four years. It was a harmless nickname, and yet Westley took it the wrong way, How could he be so narrow-minded? Gabrielle was fuming and she made it. clear on her face that she was offended.

“I found you out; didn’t 1? That’s why you’re glaring at me like that.” Westley could see she was being defensive, looking angrily at him and all.

“What’s so good about Austin anyway?”

That guy might have known Gabrielle for longer than he did, but still, Austin had no business being with her.

“There’s nothing of that sort between us! I don’t need to explain myself. Aus and I are just friends. Believe it or not.” She cast a reproachful look at him. They had agreed to never interfere in each other’s private affairs. Even so, Gabrielle had to say something to clear up the misunderstanding.

“A man and a woman can never be ‘just friends, Gabrielle. Do you think I’m a child? You can tell yourself that, but anyone with eyes can see that’s not the case,” Westley scoffed, frowning, Gabrielle rolled her eyes. “What about you and Holly. then? Does that mean you’re not just friends either?”

Westley squinted his eyes at her. ‘How dare she say that?!’

“Really now?” His gaze was cold and expressionless, Gabrielle leaned forward.

“You’re not being fair. You said it yourself, didn’t you? Now, if you say there’s nothing between you and Holly. then that’s the same for Austin and me. Besides, our marriage is fake anyway.”

“Not when we’re in public,” Westley Chap 175 Hudding Flingu said. “How could you call him Aus” in front of so many people? How could you be so friendly? I’m not trying to meddle in your private life, but this involves me. You’re cheating on me in broad daylight for everyone to see!” Westley’s nostrils flared up. his voice much louder.

Gabrielle looked away. It was pointless to argue, and she didn’t want to mention Austin anymore. It would only infuriate Westley and nothing good will come out of it. “It’s just out of habit. I’ll pay attention next time.”

Westley said, “Be sure to do that,” leaving Gabrielle sighed. She put the bowl of porridge on the table and got up to take a shower. She was sweaty from the fever and it made her feel uncomfortable.

As she sank into the hot tub, she felt the tension fading from her body. She gradually relaxed, her mood lightening up.

Westley went downstairs to make a phone call. He ignored the visitors in the living room and went straight to the yard.

After hanging up, he lit a cigaretle and leaned on the wall for a quick smoke.

Just then, he saw Austin walking over, “What now?” Westley asked coldly, not even sparing Austin a glance.

“I’ll be honest,” Austin said. “I don’t want you to keep forcing Gabrielle to stay with you, Westley. She shouldn’t have been involved in your affairs. It’s Bryce you want to get back at. Just leave her alone. You’re making her suffer.”

Westley took a long drag on his cigarette and threw the butt away. He stared at it for a while, watching the rain drown out the smoke.

“Austin, might I remind you that Gabrielle and I are married. No matter what happens between us, it’s none of your business.

Besides, why are you so sure that she’s suffering? That she’s unhappy?” Westley raised his head and gazed at the clouds. It was still raining heavily. It seemed that it would last the whole night “But you have no feelings for her at all. Westley, there are so many women in the city that would do anything just to many you.” Austin clenched his fist. He could feel the anger rising inside him. “Why does it have to be Gabrielle?”

“Who do you think you are to boss me around?” Westley shot him a scornful “Have you forgotten who you’re talking “I just want to remind you that forcing someone you don’t love to stay by your side will only make both of you suffer.” Austin inhaled sharply. “I hope you can treat her better. If you do anything to hurt her, I won’t let you go so easily.”

Westley laughed mockingly. Austin frowned, trying to stop himself from punching Westley. “What’s so funny? You know what?

You‘re being stupid. If you want to get your revenge so much, then go after Bryce and Nellie. Stop making Gabrielle pay for their debts!” Westley could see that Austin wasn’t afraid of him. He stood up straight and clapped his hand over Austin’s shoulder.

“Listen Austin, this is the last time I’ll be warning you. My wife is not for you to worry about. Just look after yourself and the Foster family.” Leaving his threats, Westley tumed around and walked back into the house. I When he returned to check on Gabrielle, he saw the pomidge untouched on the bedside table Not being able to find her in the bedroom, Westley went to check the bathroom. He couldn’t hear anything from the other side, so he knocked on the door.

“Gabrielle?”

There was no response. Did she take a bath and fall asleep again? Was she still “Gabrielle!” Westley twisted the doorknob and hurriedly opened the door. The floor was wet with the excess water from the bathtub. Sure enough, Gabrielle was lying on the edge of the tub, eyes closed and fast asleep.

“Dammit!” Her fever had just gone down, and now she was sleeping in the bathtub.

Did she want to be sick again? Westley was roaring mad.

He ought to teach her a lesson later, “Gabrielle, wake up.” He wasn’t in the mood to pick her up, so he patted her gently on the cheek.

“Stop...” Gabrielle groaned, pushing his hand away. She was too immersed in the relaxing feeling of the warm bath.

“For goodness” sake, get up. Don’t sleep in the bathtub!” Westley shouted.

His voice shook her awake. Gabrielle’s brows scrunched as she opened her eyes.

“Westley?!” Gabrielle looked at him in disbelief. “Why didn’t you knock? I’m taking a bath!” She hurriedly dunk herself into the water, only to find that there were no bubbles on it to cover her body. The water was so pure that her husband could see her body clearly.

“Get out!” Gabrielle screamed. Confused. Westley scurried to the door. He leaned against it and gulped. He could feel his heart beat faster, and a tender warmth was spreading through his chest.
