Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 139 Idiot Westley had expected Miley to be on Gabrielleâs side, so he didnât pay much attention to her.
He glanced at Gabrielle, who was saying nothing but seemed to be enjoying the food at the rate she was eating, âIs she being starved by the Jones family?â
Foodie. Idiot.
âGabrielle, ignore this guy. You enjoy your meal. What else do you want to eat? I can cook it for you.â Miley offered warmly.
The only thing that made Miley happy was when her children ate and drank âGrandma, I... I donât usually behave like this.â Gabrielle looked at Miley with embarrassment âItâs okay. As long as you eat well, grandma will be happy. Unlike Westley:
see how picky he is with food. I donât feel good cooking for him because his eating habits are really annoying to endure and watch. You, on the other hand, are much better.â Miley looked at Gabrielle kindly. She was growing more and more fond of Gabrielle.
âReally. Grandma?â Gabrielle was in disbelief as she looked at Miley. When she ate around the Jones family-her familyâshe was always scolded. Wendy liked people who were obedient and pleasant. After all, no one was perfect, but she loathed when people were picky with food. It would make her quite upset.
âOf course itâs true. Enjoy your food and donât think about Westley. Did you sleep well last night?â Miley asked with concem.
âI did. Very well.â Gabrielle nodded.
Miley looked at the two of them and Smiled, but it was hard to tell how she felt because she wore an indescribable look on her face. It took a while for Gabrielle to understand what Miley meant, and her face flushed slightly.
âGrandma, we actually...â
âGabrielle, donât talk while eating!â Westley abruptly interrupted her. He didnât want her to continue.
Gabrielle was quite shrewd, and would need to be tricked by Miley.
There were things that didnât need to be explained. Certain explanations tended to complicate matters even more.
âOkay.â Gabrielle didnât say anything more and continued to have her breakfast.
Miley, in turn, glared at Westley. She picked up the negative vibes emanating from him; he must definitely be against her.
After the three had breakfast, Gabrielle went upstairs with the white bag given to her to change her clothes.
While she was changing, her cell phone rang. When she saw that the caller was Lance, she immediately answered it.
âHey Lance, whatâs up?â
âGabrielle, where are you?â Lance was direct with her as soon as she answered.
She was at the Isido Mount.
âIâm out, Lance. Is it urgent?â
âI would like to meet you. How about a quick meal together? Did Westley make things difficult for you?â Lance seemed to be ashamed for making his bodyguards faint.
âIâm good. No, he didnât make things difficult for me. Honestly, heâs been really kind to me,â Gabrielle said calmly. She wasnât lying after all; Westley was being nice to her.
Of course he was angry about the situation with the bodyguards, but he hadnât taken it too far. Gabrielle seemed to think he was acting appropriately.
So it was not that bad.
Besides, he had also taken her to see Miley and realized that she was old granny that helped her the other night. This had made Gabrielle happy.
âIâm finding it hard to believe he would treat you well. As well as you deserve.â
Lance said sincerely, How could a man like Westley be nice to her?
Lance knew that very well.
âNo, he really is good to me. Iâm not lying. Please donât worry about it,â Gabrielle insisted.
Lance finally dropped it. He didnât know whether to believe her, but she said what she said, and there was only so much he could do âGabrielle, Grandpaâs birthday is coming up in a few days. Did you get a dress for the occasion, yet? I want to take you to pick a dress.â Obviously Lance knew that he didnât need to worry about Gabrielleâs personal affairs if Westley was around and overseeing them.
However, Lance accompanied Gabrielle every year when she went to pick up her dresses for her Grandpaâs birthday. Because he was part of this annual tradition, he wanted to prepare everything for her.
This year was no exception.
âThereâs no need for you to help with the dress. Iâll arrange it,â Gabrielle said seriously.
She was Westleyâs wife now, and that meant she had to distance herself from Lance âI see.â Lance didnât insist anymore.
âSony Lance, Iâm quite busy these days. Letâs have dinner another night, when Iâve got some time.â Gabrielle attempted to coax him with this empty promise because she knew Lance was slightly disappointed.
âOkay, sure. Iâll wait until you can.â Lanceâs spirits suddenly lifted.
Gabrielle hung the phone up and sighed with relief. She then put her sneakers on and went back downstairs.
It was evident that Alvin had prepared everything for her: from inside to outside, from pajamas to sportswear.
When Gabrielle went downstairs, she found Miley and Westley already waiting in the living room. They were all wearing sportswear: Miley was in red, Westley in black and Gabrielle in white, although the latter two shared the same styles.
Did Alvin match their clothes on purpose, or was it Westleyâs idea?
This could cause trouble.
Gabrielle instantly felt an urge to go and change into a different set of clothes even a pair of jeans, at this point!
âLovely! Gabrielle looks beautiful even when sheâs wearing Sportswear.â Miley was very happy and proud to see Gabrielle. She really did look good no matter what she wore.
At a glance, Westley immediately noticed his and Gabrielleâs Sportswear were matching. Alvin was definitely deliberate in picking out the outfits for both of them. 4 He probably thought he was being rather âconsiderateâ by matching their clothes.
Although he couldnât deny that Gabrielle had a pretty face, and did indeed look good in any outfit.
âLetâs go. Itâs going to be too hot later.â Westley immediately turned around and left after saying that.
Gabrielle drew abreast of Miley immediately. âGrandma, letâs go. Iâm sorry to keep you waiting for me for so long.
âSilly girl! It doesnât matter to me, and it is not a big deal to make Westley wait for a while. Letâs go.â Miley was in high Spirits, and glad to have Gabrielle and Westley accompany her.
The three of them soon arrived at the intersection at the foot of Isido Mount. They were just about to go up the mountain when Miley noticed Gabrielle carrying her backpack.
âWestley, how can you let a girl carry a heavy backpack while hiking up a mountain? Carry it for her, please,â Miley sternly ordered Westley âNo, no, itâs okay. I can do it myself. Itâs quite light because I havenât put too many things in here.â Of course, Gabrielle didnât want to ask Westley to help her carry the bag because she didnât want to bother him. Besides, she didnât think he was the type of man to carry backpacks for girls.
âGabrielle, Westley is your husband. Why shouldnât he help you with your bag?â Miley took Gabrielleâs bag off her and dropped it in Westleyâs path.
âNo, please, donât worry about it. I can cany it myself...â
Before she could finish her sentence, Westleyâs big and firm hand reached across and seamlessly carried Gabrielleâs bag like it was the lightest thing on the planet.
