Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 199 A Charming Man The atmosphere was still calm as Westley went upstairs to take a shower. Gabrielle stared at Miley in utter shock. She still hadnât recovered from the conversation between Westley and his grandma.
This was the first time that she had seen the two of them get along with each other in this way, but even at that it still, felt warm.
âCome back to your senses, Gabrielle. Your husband is upstairs already,â Miley said as she waved her hand in front of Gabrielle to snap her out of her thoughts, As soon as this happened, Gabrielle regained her composure. âIâm not looking at him, Miley! I was just staring at you. Nothing more.â
âWell, if you say so. But one thing I know for sure is that my grandson is very charming. Whether heâs in a shirt, a suit, or even in dirty clothes, he still looks handsome. Are you cnchanted by him and think itâs worth it that you married such a handsome husband?â
Miley teased Gabnelle with a broad smile.
Under Mileyâs gaze, Gabrielleâs face turned red as she looked at Miley with timidity. âWhat are you talking about, Miley? Westley and I are not like what you have in mind.â
âWhat do you think I have in mind? You got the marriage certificate with my witness. Isnât Westley your legal husband? If truth be told, I know that you are under pressure because you married such a handsome and enchanting husband. But thinking about what he did for you today. you can see very well that he would like to protect you at all costs. He picked up eggs for you and was pecked by a chicken in the process,â Miley said as she beamed with smiles.
All of a sudden, Gabrielle realized something and stared at Miley with a pair of bright black eyes. âMiley, why do I have a feeling that you did this on purpose?â she asked Miley with her gaze still fixed on her.
Gabrielle felt that everything had been carefully thought out and arranged by her husbandâs grandma and then she had jumped into the traps one by one. Miley had always been known for her beautiful smiles which made her look kind and lovely, but right now, Gabrielle felt that this woman was as scheming as Westley only that she was even more scheming and so Westley was no match for her âReally? Do you think so? You think I did it on purpose, Gabrielle? Remember that you were the one who said you wanted to stay back and help me All I did was assign you tasks, didnât I?â Miley asked as she looked at Gabrielle calmly without feeling any guilt whatsoever.
Gabrielle thought for a while and later felt that maybe it was just a coincidence. Miley had just given her and Westley some tasks to do, but it just happened that Westley helped her to do the last When something happened, she didnât even react to it.
âGabrielle, donât you want to thank me for letting you see all the advantages of being with Westley? just look at the way he is protecting you. You should do your best to cherish him now that heâs with you.â It was obvious that Miley was trying to cheer her up. She looked so cute when she did this. i Gabrielleâs face flushed at that instant. Just then, she found out that she couldnât continue the conversation with Miley because it couldnât go smoothly anymore. All Miley was trying to do right now was to keep talking about her grandson, thereby teasing Gabrielle.
âMiley, where is the medicine box? Let me go upstairs first and deal with Westleyâs wounds.â Gabrielle planned to run away first, or else she would be teased by Miley over and over again.
Miley always liked to tease the two of them. âIs Westley that good?â Gabrielle wondered.
âYouâve always said you didnât care, but in fact, you care about Westley so much. If he knew this, he would be very impressed.
Let me quickly get you the medicine box now,â Miley said as she quickly went to the locker to get the medicine box.
âGabrielle, take it upstairs. Westley should have taken a shower by now. You can also take a shower first before coming downstairs for dinner. But it doesnât matter if you come down later, Just take your time.â Miley winked at Gabrielle knowingly as she put the medicine box into Gabrielleâs hands.
She pretended as if she didnât hear Mileyâs words and just went upstairs carrying the medicine box in her hand. What she had in mind right now was how she was going to deal with Westleyâs injuries as soon as possible.
By the time she entered the room, she didnât see anyone but only heard the sound of water flowing in the bathroom and knew that Westley was still in the bathroom.
âWestley, arenât you done taking a shower?â Gabrielle asked as she stood outside the door of the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of water stopped. She thought that he might have just gotten out of the shower and so she decided to wait aside. But before she could turn around, the door of the bathroom opened, Westley was wrapped in a bath towel, with water dripping from his hair, face, and chest. Westleyâs sudden appearance in front of her made her have no preparation at all. Subconsciously, she took two steps back and almost fell again.
As luck would have it. Westley was quick to react as he held her back from falling Other than that, she would have fallen flat on her back. As he held her, he pulled her to his warm chest.
Gabrielle lay on his chest as she blushed uncontrollably.
but feel so She couldnât help embarrassed of herself.
*Thank you, Westley.â Gabrielle muttered quickly as she got out of his arms.
âRecently, I found that you liked to fall in front of me. Did you want me to hold you on purpose?â Westley asked with a wide grin on his face.
Damn it! The feeling of holding her is getting better and better. As soon as I hold her, I canât restrain myself from being so excited,â he thought to himself.
As far as Westley was concerned, this wasnât supposed to be a good sign.
âDonât be so full of yourself, Westley. I didnât want you to hold me. You could have just pretended that you didnât see that I was about to fall. You would have just let me fall directly.â Gabrielle said with a hint of anger in her voice..
To Westley, he felt that she was acting cunningly by tripping in his presence. thereby indirectly asking him to hold her on purpose. But this wasnât true at all.
She didnât fall so often before. Right now, she felt very offended.
âWhat kind of man do you think I am. Gabrielle? Do you think Iâm the kind of person who would see a woman fall in front of me and just leave her alone all in the name of pretense?â Westley asked as he stole a glance at her indifferently before he went to take his bathrobe and put it on.
âSo, what youâre trying to say is that even if any woman falls in front of you, you will pull her into your arms, right? Gabrielle blurted out without thinking as she wanted to know the answer.
Instead of answering her question, Westley walked to the sola and sat down quietly.
Gabrielle knew that in Westleyâs eyes. she was just like any other woman, there was nothing special about her.
âMiley told me that he would protect his wife. Is that how it is?â she wondered, âYouâre here to deal with my wound, arenât you? So why donât you come here and do that instead of asking silly questions.â
Westley sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed, like an emperor who was waiting for her to come over.
Gabrielle walked to where he was with unwillingness. She put down the medicine box and tried to look for the disinfectant âGive me your hand,â Gabrielle said in an angry tone as she grabbed his hand.
Now his hands were clean and slender since he just had his bath, but there were a few small scratches on the back of his hands where the chicken had pecked *The injury isnât that serious. Iâll just apply some anti-inflammatory drugs and Band-Aid. Thatâs all.â Gabrielle said as she observed his wounds, She began to clean the wound with cotton swabs and before she proceeded to disinfect it. âThe disinfectant will sting you. If you feel pain, just scream,â she Her words amused him greatly. âWhat makes you think that I canât bear the pain as a strong man that I am?â
