Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 169 Be Careful When Making Friends The tires screeched.
Westley pulled over, muttering a curse under his breath. Then, he turned, giving Holly a cold, stern glare.
âWhat exactly do you want to know?â he asked, clearly annoyed.
Holly was hit on the head by the sudden brake and then looked up at Westleyâs gloomy and horrible eyes. She was shocked and rubbed her forehead, looking at Westley uneasily.
âWestley, I was just...â
Holly pursed her lips, a little unsure of what to say âWhateverâs going on with me and Helena is none of your business, Westley started, taking a deep breath. âIf you donât want me to throw you out of the car, youâd better not ask me about it again.â
Helena And Holly had always bren chote. They wrte cousins and in fact, best friends. To Westley, however... he was just being friendly with Holly for Helenaâs sake Westley was clear with his boundaries. Some limes shouldnât be crossed.
Especially not about his private life.
âWestley, I know itâs not my place to ask, but do you remember? You promised Helena that you would love her all your life, and yet... you went on and married another woman...
âWhy do you care?! Helenaâs gone!â Westleyâs eyes burned with anger.
âFirst Austin, and now this... damn it! I shouldnât have picked these scoundrels up. I shouldâve let Micheal or someone else do this for me. I couldâve even asked them to stay in the car for a whole night.
He couldnât deal with the constant annoyance anymore. He believed Holly wasnât the type to be meddlesome.
But now, she was getting on his nerves. How dare she?
âIâm sorry, Westley. I was a little too worried this time. Every time I thought of Helena, L..â
Holly stopped herself. She knew quite temperament. If she continued to press him for answers, it would only make himm even ingrier. When that happened, apologies would be useless.
Holly bit her lip She didnât want to make things worse.
âJust donât mention Helenaâs name in front of me anymore. I just want her to rest in peace.â Westley started the enigine.
Although theyâve already dropped the topic, the atmosphere in the car was still tensed and awkward. Holly tried to avoid looking at Westley and kept quiet. Sheâd learned her lesson.
No matter how pathetic and unworthy Gabrielle was, she was Westleyâs legal wife now. Nothing could change that.
But Holly still wanted to believe that Westley had kept Helena in his heart. That to him, she was still the most important person in his life, his true love As long as he loved Helena, he wouldnât give his heart to anyone else, i As long as there was no room for Gabrielle in Westleyâs life, Holly would be satisfied Otherwise, she wouldnât be able to live with it.
The car slowed down, and Holly suddenly sat up straight. âWhy are we stopping Westley parked the car outside the supermarket. A few seconds later, the door burst open. âAhhh!â
Mia breathed a huge sigh as she jumped into the front seat. Her clothes were wet, making Holly grimace.
Did Westley drive downtown just to pick her up? Holly wasnât very pleased.
âMr. Morris, thank you for coming.â
Mia smiled, but that faded as soon as she saw Holly alone in the back. âWhereâs Austin?â
âI kicked him out;â Westley simply answered and drove away.
Kicked Austin out? Was he joking?
Did Austin do something. Mr. Morris?â Mia asked, giving a Holly a suspicious âItâs more likely that this woman got rid of Austin so she could spend some time alone with Westleyâs Mia had always thought Holly to be such a schemer. She couldnât trust her.
âHe was annoying.â Westley answered coldly.
It was typical of someone with Westleyâs standing to do. Mia understood that Austin did something to offend him. She didnât pursue the issue any further.
âHolly, are you all right? I heard you broke your foot,â Mia asked, casting her gaze downwards.
It seemed as though she was checking to see if Hollyâs foot was really broken. Mia and Gabrielle were friends. âBirds of a feather.â Holly hated them all the same.
âWhy? Would it disappoint you if it wasnât?â Holly raised a brow.
For Mia, this kind of provocation was really a piece of cake.
She knew not to take these things senously. âI was only concerned. Do you always think people have bad intentions? Never mind, then.â
Miaâs words made it look like Holly Was just being paranoid.
It made her feel like she was wIONE.
âPerhaps you misunderstood me. You said it yourself. People might have ill intentions towards me. Iâm just making sure. If youâre really sincere, then Iâm glad.â Holly couldnât afford to tarnish her image while Westley was there listening to the whole conversation.
So, she had to fake a reply.
through all her However, Mia saw pretense.
Even so, she didnât want to cause a scene.
âThatâs true. Better safe than sorry.â Mia smirked evilly. âYouâre a popular designer with a lot of connections. You wouldnât want someone to stab you in the back and steal your work, after all.â Holly stared at her hard, clenching her fists under her seat.
The sinister smile on Miaâs face faded into a small frown and her eyes drap. looking at Holly with pity. âYour work is your lifeblood and losing a design could mean losing half of your life. I guess thatâs why you donât have many friends.â
