Lock You In My Heart Chapter 378
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle was mad at Westley, but now, she couldnât bring herself to be mad at him.
He was always capable of dissuading her just when she was about to explode with anger, and it always forced her to stifle her anger.
Gabrielle hated this. She felt as though Westley had some sort of off switch in hand. He could just press it and her anger would disappear. To her, this was certainly not favorable.
It had been clear to her for a long time that he was a dangerous man. The closer she got to him, the more dangerous he would become.
But Gabrielle never gave up on him. Instead of fleeing from the danger, she wanted to get even closer to Westley.
On the surface, some people looked very dangerous. But in reality, they were gentle and inexplicably charming.
Gabrielle took one look at him and in that instance, she fell for his cold, handsome face.
A man like him was born to attract many peopleâs attention. Even though she was trying not to look at him, she would sometimes find herself looking his way.
âAre you satisfied with what youâre seeing?â Westley teased.
Each time she stared at him, he would notice it even while driving.
Gabrielle was looking at him in secret, but when he said that he noticed, she immediately panicked. It wasnât great to be caught staring.
âWhat did you say?â She looked out the window instinctively before staring back at Westley.
Naturally, he knew that she was just pretending to be ignorant, but he knew what she was doing.
She had been staring at him, but she still had the gall to play the fool despite being caught.
âAre you satisfied with your manâs face?â Westley asked in a joking manner.
This time, Gabrielle didnât attempt to hide anything and burst into laughter.
âWestley, donât you have any confidence in your looks?â
âI do, but itâs different when youâre happy with how I look. I want to know what you think of me.â A smirk appeared on his lips and one could see the happiness in his eyes.
Westley never doubted how handsome he was. After all, wherever But Gabrielleâs opinion mattered above all else.
Beauty lay in the eyes of the beholder.
So, by in each personâs point of view.
Some people might like it, and others might not.
Westley wasnât that vain about his appearance. To him, his personality was most important.
But for some reason, in front of Gabrielle, he couldnât help but be mindful of everything about himself.
Thus, it was important for him to know her opinion on how he looked.
âThereâs no reason to worry, Westley. Iâm not dissatisfied with your Having heard her say that, Westley chuckled before pulling over.
âGabrielle, will you be going back to your studio this afternoon?â Westley asked as he stared at her.
After getting off the car, Gabrielle glanced back at him. âIâll be home early tonight.â
She wasnât sure if she should go to the studio in the afternoon. As a special intern, she really didnât have to go to the studio if she h ad there was a matter that she needed to handle at the school this afternoon, she wouldnât have to go to the studio.
âYou donât need me to pick you up?â Westley asked.
âNo, itâs okay,â replied Gabrielle.
âOkay. Be home early.â With that, Westley said nothing more.
Since Gabrielle was adamant about her decision not to let him pick her up, he decided to oblige.
âYou should go to class,â Westley urged.
When Gabrielle glanced at the gate of Alorith University, she suddenly remembered that he once met Holly in the business street. She had no idea what kind of person Holly was.
âDid Holly install a GPS tracker inside Westleyâs body? For some reason, she appears wherever he goes. Thatâs not just some coincidence, isnât it?â she wondered.
âWestley.â When Gabrielle thought of that, she called out his name.
âWhatâs the matter?â Westley looked into her eyes with a deep gaze.
âWestley, do you think Holly still has feelings for you?â Gabrielle asked bluntly, though she already knew that the answer was âyesâ.
Hollyâs feelings for Westley was so apparent.
Just about anyone could tell that she was still in love with him.
âIf she does, itâs none of my business, and itâs not something I should care about,â Westley answered calmly. He didnât expect Gabrielle to ask that question.
He had thought that someday, she would ask him a straightforward question about him and Holly, but he never thought sheâd ask something that simple.
âDo you like Holly?â Gabrielle asked casually.
She had been wanting to ask him about this matter for a long time. As Westleyâs confidante, Holly was still a threat to Gabrielle.
âHolly has nothing to do with me. What you should ask me is how much I like you.â Westley smiled at Gabrielle, still maintaining his composure.
His sudden flirtation made her blush.
âWhy is he flirting with me now? I was talking about him and Holly, but he changed the topic.
Had I known this would happen, I never wouldâve randomly asked about it,â she thought to herself.
âAnyway, Iâm going to class now, Westley. You should go to work. Be careful on your way.â Having said that, Gabrielle strode towards the school.
She gave him the cold shoulder, having no intention of looking back.
Upon seeing her react this way, Westley chuckled to himself.
Gabrielleâs ill temper made him like her even more.
âNothing happened between me and Holly, so thereâs no need to explain,â he thought to himself.
Gabrielle strutted towards the campus. Her face was still blushing, and she felt that the question she asked earlier was so humiliating.
âWhy did I blurt out that question when I already know the answer?
Holly has a crush on Westley, but he doesnât even want to speak to her!â she thought to herself.
By that logic, Gabrielleâs worries were unnecessary. No matter how much time had passed, Westley would never change his mind about Holly.
There was no need for Gabrielle to worry about it.
âGabrielle, do you have any classes today?â A manâs voice interrupted Gabrielle from her contemplation.
