Lock You In My Heart Chapter 413
Lock You In My Heart
Lolitaâs girlish heart was ignited when she saw the loving couple Westley and Gabrielle being so affectionate to each other.
She had dreamed of a husband like his type. Someone tall, attractive, wealthy, and above all, someone who would love her with all his heart. She hoped to build a happy marriage relationship with such a man, one that would make everyone envious of her.
Gabrielle had the marriage of her dream that it would be a lie if she said she wasnât envious of her. Her envy, however, had no ill will against Gabrielle, as she wished her all the best.
âA secret marriage?â Kendal suddenly felt as if he was going to get knocked to death.
It was the first time he had seen a woman who piqued his interest, and a faint hope had sprouted inside him. However, that hope was smashed before he could even start to chase.
The woman he liked was already married.
Moreover, the man she married was not just any ordinary man but the most powerful man in Antawood. That simply implied that he couldnât compete for her and that he had already lost before he even started.
âYes, we are in a secret marriage because I havenât graduated from the university yet. Westley thought that making it public would affect my studies, so he didnât make it public. Only our families know that we are married and even our friends donât know it. So Iâm sorry I didnât tell you, Lolita. We do, however, have a good relationship. We wonât make it public until I officially graduate from the university next year.â Gabrielle tried her best to explain, trying to defend Westley.
After hearing the explanation, both Lolita and Kendal realized that the couple chose to keep their marriage a secret not because they didnât want it to be public but for the sake of Gabrielle.
Of course, Lolita was aware that Gabrielle was still a student and that if she married Westley publicly, it would undoubtedly spark riots throughout the city. And the one who would be most affected by the riots would surely be Gabrielle.
âGabrielle is defending me. We chose to keep our marriage a secret mainly because I couldnât protect her all the time. If we make it public now, it will bring a lot of trouble to her. I donât want to bring her any trouble or harm, so what happened in the room today canât be announced to the public. Miss Anderson, Mr. Shaw, can you do it?â
Westley said calmly to the two of them, but the coldness in his eyes spoke a different story. The gloom in his eyes signaled that the consequences would be hard to bear if they didnât do as he said.
âMr. Morris, donât worry. I wonât tell anyone. Besides, Iâm a good friend of Gabrielle. Iâll treat her better in the future,â Lolita, sensing the underlying warning, readily agreed.
Her mood, however, had not yet calmed down. After all, the surprise Gabrielle had thrown at her was just too big and hard to process.
She had no idea when she would find out about Gabrielle and Westleyâs marriage if it hadnât been for todayâs accident.
âThank you for taking care of my wife, Miss Anderson. If you encounter any trouble in Antawood in the future, you can contact me,â Westley said as he looked at Lolita calmly.
âItâs my pleasure. Gabrielle and I are really good friends, so we care about each other and help each other. I wonât cause any trouble in Antawood. I wonât bother Mr. Morris.â Lolita immediately waved her hand to refuse Westleyâs kindness. She didnât really dare to bother him, after all.
âMr. Morris, Lolita is my cousin. No matter what trouble she causes, I will solve it for her. We wonât bother you. I sincerely wish you and Gabrielle to live a happy life forever,â Kendal stated. Even though he was still struggling to digest the information in his heart, he had entirely accepted the reality in his mind.
After all, Gabrielle was the first girl he had feelings for. It was heartbreaking for him to know she was already married.
But, knowing that she had married such a man as Westley, he was happy for her.
âMr. Shaw, you donât need to worry about bothering me, but I happen to have something to bother you. I hope you can accompany my wife during the exchange meeting tonight. I donât want anything to happen to her.â Westley made a request to Kendal.
On the other hand, Gabrielle felt that it was too much to ask others so forcefully. After all, Kendal was Lolitaâs cousin, not hers.
So, Gabrielle thought it was really inappropriate to do so.
âNo, thanks, Westley. I can do it myself.â Gabrielle reached out and gently grabbed Westleyâs little finger.
âOr do you want me to accompany you in person?â noticing Gabrielleâs little action, Westley asked calmly in a serious tone.
Gabrielle, of course, disagreed. They had already told Lolita about their relationship. If they went to the exchange meeting together, it would be almost like making their relationship public. If the news spread like that, it would officially become public.
Gabrielle had always known that the truth couldnât be kept hidden, but she wasnât ready to make it public right now.
âNo, thanks. Just let Mr. Shaw accompany us downstairs. You can wait for me here.â Gabrielle directly refused Westleyâs idea.
âGabrielle, itâs getting late. Letâs go downstairs first. Those people donât dare to do anything when there is Kendal,â Lolita said as she felt much more confident now.
She gained confidence not only because Kendal was with them but also because Westley was Gabrielleâs husband.
This was the biggest surprise. With Westley as their backer, they could do anything they wanted in Antawood.
âLetâs go downstairs,â Gabrielle said as she didnât want to waste any more time.
âWestley, we are leaving. You stay here alone for now.â Gabrielle gave out a parting note.
Without saying a word, Westley came over and squeezed Gabrielleâs chin. He then lowered his head and gave her a kiss. His movements were very gentle and fast, and he left after the kiss.
Gabrielleâs small face turned red all of a sudden. She felt a bit embarrassed as she was kissed in front of Lolita and Kendal.
Thus, she immediately dragged Lolita and hurried out of the room.
Along the way, Gabrielleâs face was red and hot with shame, and she couldnât even talk to Lolita very well. Kendal followed them silently all the way, and his expression looked very solemn.
âGabrielle, it turns out that you and Mr. Morris love each other so much. Even as an outsider, I can see that you two love each other so much. How long have you been married? You guys keep things very low-key,â Lolita held Gabrielleâs hand and asked, full of curiosity.
After all, her best friend had just confessed that she had been secretly married. Furthermore, her husband was a well-known figure in Antawood. Lolita was so excited that she almost rushed over to take photos with him and get his signature.
âLolita, youâre exaggerating. I havenât married Westley for a long time, only a few months. He treats me very well.â Gabrielle didnât deny the fact that Westley treated her very well. Perhaps the relationship between the two of them was not very good at first since they didnât get along well. However, things had changed significantly, and she no longer thought that way. It was because she could now feel Westleyâs affection towards her.
âWhat are you talking about? He is unbelievably kind to you. Nowadays, finding a man who is so good to his wife is as difficult as reaching for the stars in the sky. Iâve heard some rumors about Mr. Morris before. He is cold-blooded, ruthless, and vicious...
Well, Gabrielle, I donât really mean to say that Mr. Morris is such a person.â Realizing that she had said something wrong, Lolita quickly held the hand of Gabrielle and apologized.
âI know. Westley isnât that kind of man. Heâs a good man, and especially he is good to me.â
While Gabrielle said that, her expression softened, and a smile of delight formed on her lips, indicating that she was genuine in her words.
