Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 289 Admit Her As His Wife Alvin nervously rubbed his nose and walked into the room. He stared at Westleyâs uneasy and senous face. Then, he darted his eyes on Gabrielle.
The scene he had walked into was completely different from what he had imagined It made him a little embarrassed Sitting on the bed was Gabrielle, and Westley was standing in gont of her. He was hunched forward lightly, allowing her to fix his tie. İH Alvinâs eyes they seemed happy and comfortable around each other. Alvin did not know what the hell he was thinking He was so wrong Westley was a man of incredible self control. Impulses had no power over him. He krew what and what not to do in different situations.
âI apologize for coming in without knocking, Mr. Morris, Alein muttered âSo you should Do I need to stick you into anothet asetant trang semin? Westley responded coldly. He did not even turn around to look at Alvin.
No need. Mr. Monis, but if ii please you, I will review the assistant rules mysell.â Alvin replied seriously.
Westley, said nothing more and just focused on Gabrielle: He watched her 15 she did his tic Looking at the tie, Alvin understood what was going on. Yesterday. Gabrigle texted him and asked him about the brand of tie Westley liked. Now she was helping him wear that tie, but idboked familiar.
The last time Wedley asked Alvin to get him a tie, Alvin bught him the same as the one that cabrielle was fixing on him nght now.
But Westley did not like that te and did not wear it then. Alvin guessed that maybe Gabrielle did not know that Westley already had that tie wrid did not like it Now, seeing Westley seem to enjoy the sad tie, Alvin felt that maybe Gabrielle Wat the reason for it Westley liked the tie because Gabrielle got it for him.
His wife got him this tie! .
Alvin could not help thinking that underneath their civil treatment for each other and despite their nominal marriage, Westley and Gabrielle were actually and truly in love, and they just had not realized it yet.
âAll right. Youâre all set.â Gabrielle smoothed Westleyâs shirt and looked at the tie carefully âItâs pretty. It brings out your eyes. What do you think, Alvin? Isnât it beautiful?â Gabrielle asked, turning to look at Alvin.
Alvin looked at the expertly knotted tie and dipped his chin. âIt is, Miss Jones. Youâve done a splendid job, and youâve chosen well on the tie. Maybe you should choose ties for Mr. Morris next time.â
Alvin meant his statement with the sincerest of intentions.
âMe?â Gabrielle was stunned for a moment. She had never imagined herself picking out ties for Westley. It seemed like a big responsibility.
âAlvin, thatâs your job. Donât pass it on to Gabrielle.â Although Westley would love Gabrielle to choose his ties for him, he was worried that it would cause her trouble and she would refuse, so he spoke outright.
Alvin immediately understood what Westley meant and quickly corrected himself. âIâm only kidding, Miss Jones. I canât bother you. Mr. Morrisâs right. It is my job, and I must do it.â
Gabrielle just smiled and nodded. âNo worries, Alvin. Now, if you have something important to tell Westley, Iâll give you two some privacy. I have to go to the bathroom anyway. You guys talk.â
âLet me carry you there.â It was a genuine offer, but at the same time, Westley found it a perfect excuse to hold Gabrielle âWestley, I just hurt my back, not my legs. I can walk to the bathroom on my own. Besides, your hand is still injured. I canât let you carry me. I donât want you ripping your wound open.â After saying that, Gabrielle put on her slippers and went to the bathroom.
âBe careful. Shout if you need me, Westley reminded her.
His wound was not as serious as Gabrielle thought it was. In fact, he could CAITY her around the house for ten minutes long and not bleed. He was not as fragile as she made him out to be.
âOkay.â Gabrielle answered and shut the bathroom door âWhatâs the matter?â Westley asked Alvin as soon as Gabrielle disappeared.
Westleyâs cold stare and pointed tone made Alvinâs heart leap to his throat. Alvin took a steadying breath.
The Garcia familyâs taken care of, Mr. Mornis. Emily was lucky that we just expelled her from the university last time. It was unspeakable how she dared hurt Miss Jones this time.â
âMrs. Morris,â Westley interrupted him.
âIâm sorry?â Alvin was so stunned when Westley suddenly corrected him that it took some time for him to process what he just said Soon, he realized that his boss just told him to address Gabrielle officially as the Mrs. Monis.
âVery well. Mrs. Morris it is. Yes, Emily hurt Mrs. Morris gravely this time. We canât give her any more chances.â Deep inside, Alvin was elated for Gabrielle.
Finally. Westley was acknowledging her as his wife, but did it mean that their fake marriage also blossomed into something real?
Alvin could not help smiling to himself. He felt like he was witnessing a fairy tale come to life.
From now on, Westley would have nothing to do with the Collins family. It would most definitely work for Alvin because he really did not like the Collins family anyway âShe has courted death long enough. Maybe itâs time we fulfill her wish. Dig up Emilyâs past. Find her skeletons in the closet, drag them out, and let the Internet feast on them. Got it?â Westley glanced at him.
Of course Alvin knew what to do.
âConsider it done, Mr. Morris.â
âAnd get rid of the tie you brought me last time. Now.â Westley did not say which tie it was, but Alvin understood which one he was talking about. It was the same as the one that Gabrielle just put on him.
âOf course. Iâll go back to the Vineyard Villa later, Alvin quickly agreed.
âDoes this tie look good?â Although Westley had not checked himself in a mirror, he was confident.
âIt really does, Mr. Morris, Alvin answered fervently. Westley was one handsome fellow, and he was in good shape. He looked good in everything.
Maybe he just did not like the color of the tie last time because of his mood, or maybe he just did not realize how well it suited him until Gabrielle knotted it. around his neck.
Either way, Alvin had no complaints. He just wanted his boss to be happy.
A few moments later, the bathroom door swung open. Gabrielle stepped out and saw a weird smile on Westleyâs face. She knitted her brows at him. âIâll take my leave, Mrs. Morris. Get plenty of rest. I hope you feel better soon.â After saying that, Alvin quickly turned on his heel and left.
Gabrielle made her way back to the bed and sat down. She wondered if she was just imagining the fact that Alvin just addressed her as Mrs. Morris.
âWestley, what did Alvin call me just now?â Gabrielle cocked her head to the side and eyed Westley carefully. 9 âWhat?â Westley pretended that he did not know what she meant.
âI think he called me... You know what, forget it.â Gabrielle averted her gaze as she felt her cheeks grow hot. Westley had instructed his staff to call her Miss Jones. He did not want his people to recognize her as his wife. Perhaps Alvin just blurted out the address by mistake.
âIâve slept the entire night and even the whole day. Did you stay here in all that time?â Gabrielle changed the subject.
âYouâre thinking too much. I just came in this morning.â Westley did not want to admit that he came as soon as he got the call from Mia yesterday. 7 He stayed up the entire time that Gabrielle was asleep and waited for her eyelids to flutter open. He was deathly afraid that she was descending into a coma or something because she was badly hurt.
âHowâs Mia by the way? Have you heard from her?â Gabrielle clearly remembered that Emily also hurt Mia in the arm.
âHer am was beaten up, but she didnât need to be hospitalized. She went home last night,â Westley replied. âDid she tell you to come here?â Gabrielle was relieved to hear that Mia was okay.
âYou should lie down and rest some more. Lie on your stomach or your side. Donât squish the wound on your back, or it wonât heal.â Westley nimbly dodged her question. He did not want her to pay too much attention to trivial things.
