Lock You In My Heart Chapter 537
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle suddenly realized her mistake. She really shouldnât have saved Victor. Now, that would cost her dearly. But how could she have known? She had no idea who he was before saving him.
At that time, Victor was in a very critical situation. They had to act quickly. If they didnât do anything, he would have died before their eyes.
âHe is indeed a trouble,â Westley said honestly.
Victor was a cruel and unscrupulous man. In fact, it was the characteristic of his whole family. They were all cruel and bloodthirsty people who did not hesitate to use any means to achieve their goals.
âIâm so sorry I got you into trouble. I shouldnât have saved Victor back then,â Gabrielle apologized with a dejected look.
It was only out of kindness that she had saved Victor. But if she had known it would get Westley in trouble, she certainly wouldnât have.
Staring intently at Gabrielle, Westley asked in earnest, âIf you had known that saving him would cause me trouble, would you still have saved him?â
Gabrielle hesitated for a while before shaking her head firmly. âI donât want to cause you any trouble, and I do not want anyone to hurt you.â
âI know you very well, Gabrielle. You really are a good person and you canât stand to see people suffer. Donât you think if you had the opportunity to save Victor one more time, you would do it anyway?â As he spoke, Westley held Gabrielleâs hand and looked at her seriously.
After a short pause, a faint smile appeared on Gabrielleâs face. âYouâre right,â she said. âIâm sure I might save him again. All life is sacred, right?â
âBesides, he even worked for you for free,â Westley said in a jealous tone.
For a moment, Gabrielle was stunned. She didnât expect that Westley still remembered such a trivial thing. She couldnât deny it at all.
âI know now that I was wrong to do so. Never again would I ask a stranger for help. You are my only hero!â Gabrielle then stood on her tiptoes and kissed Westley on the lips.
At the touch of Gabrielleâs moist lips, Westleyâs face softened a little and a faint smile appeared on his face. Gabrielle knew him well and she knew how to soften him up when necessary. If she didnât act like this, he would still be angry.
âI like it better. Donât forget who you are, Gabrielle. You are my wife. As such, you should never promise anything to other men.
Anyway, they all have ulterior motives when they come to you.â Westleyâs face was serious as he spoke.
He wouldnât allow anyone or anything to disturb Gabrielleâs peace and quiet. She was an exceptional woman, kind, pure and generous. He loved her from the bottom of his heart and was ready to protect her for the rest of his life.
Westley feared that because of her naiveté, she would be used by other men. âYou have my word that I wonât do that again,â
Gabrielle said seriously. Westley didnât seem mad at her, nor did he care about the trouble she had unwittingly caused. However, Gabrielle felt quite guilty and uneasy. After all, it was her fault. If she hadnât saved Victor, Westley wouldnât be in trouble now and he wouldnât have been hurt. âHey, Gabrielle, look at me!â Westley said, seeing that she looked absent-minded and uneasy.
âYeah...â âDonât blame yourself, okay? You didnât do anything wrong.â âWestley, I wonât let this happen to you again.
Next time you tell me we shouldnât save someone, Iâll listen to you.â She hoped with all her heart that Westley would believe her.
It was out of the question that she still ventured to save strangers without knowing what they really had in mind. She didnât want Westley to get in trouble again. The experience with Victor had served her well as a lesson. She hadnât expected him to be such a dangerous man. That day, when she saw Victor in the temple, she quickly realized he was seriously injured. She didnât think too much at the time. All she knew was that he was in very bad shape and needed help. Gabrielle had no idea then that it wasnât an injury caused by disease or anything of the sort, but that someone had inflicted it on him. â
Donât worry, Gabrielle. You can do whatever you want whenever you want. Iâm not going to ask you to go against your nature, and Iâm certainly not going to try to tell you how to behave. If you want to do something, do it. If it causes problems afterwards, I will solve them for you.â Westley looked Gabrielle in the eye as he spoke. As far as he was concerned, his wife could do whatever she wanted to do. He definitely wasnât going to tell her what to do. If Gabrielle ac cidentally caused any trouble, he knew he could help her solve them. Westley felt that Gabrielle needed a strong husband who could protect her. If he couldnât, then he just didnât deserve to be her husband. Gabrielle suddenly placed a gentle kiss on Westleyâs lips. âWhy are you so nice to me?â she asked timidly.
