Chapter 114 A Married Man
Knowing a good friend intimately had its cons. Both friends are easily able to sense what the other is
thinking or feeling in a minute.
Remy was right-which irritated Westley. He was worried that he had been absent while Gabrielle had
cut her hand.
But he would never admit it. He ensured himself that it was none of his business if Gabrielle had cut
her hand. If anything, she deserved it.&
Westley still failed to understand why she had been pretending to cook when she didn’t even know how
to, in the first ce. Was she trying to apologize to him, or poison him?
“Remy, please don’t provoke Westley. He’s going to feel worse than he already is, somehow. If it goes
on like this, would you still want to eat?” Jonas tried to persuade him.
Remy smiled. “Let him be.”
Westley refused to admit that something was on his mind. He was angry, sure, but he was unwilling to
admit it. That was Westley.
“You cannotpare a married man’s problems with an unmarried man’s. They’re obviously very
different. Anyway. Westley seems to be way more preupied with troubles after he got married,”
Alexis analyzed seriously.
“Do you still want your club?” Westley gave Alexis a cold nce.
Alexis stopped immediately.
After dinner, they went upstairs to drink in the private room, which evidently belonged to Alexis.
Back at the vi, Sophie came into the kitchen from time to time to supervise Gabrielle while she
continued to cook. Atst, Gabrielle hadpleted the arduous task by herself. However, she had
been waiting for Westley from six o’clock, and it was nearing eight o’clock now. He was still not back
yet, and Gabrielle couldn’t even reach him.
Sophie also grew anxious, but she didn’t dare call Westley. He had been so cold on the phone before,
and then he hadn’t even bothered to reply after she had sent the message about Gabrielle’s injury. It
looked like that he wasn’t going to make it to Half Moon Bay tonight.
Sophie felt a pang of sympathy towards Gabrielle as she looked at the gauze on her hand.
Gabrielle’s kindness was all in vain.
“Gabrielle, I don’t think Mr. Morris will be back from work anytime soon. Why don’t you have dinner? It’s
already past eight o’clock.” Sophie went to the dining room to persuade Gabrielle.
Gabrielle didn’t stir. She just stared at the cold dishes on the table. She began to feel foul as she
epted that Westley wouldn’te tonight and he wouldn’t see what she had done for him. He
wouldn’t thank her.
How could she have thought that a quick meal would make up for the fact that Lance fought against the
bodyguards? It was moreplicated than that.
Sure enough, she was too naive and innocent.
“It’s all right, Sophie. I’ll wait a little longer. Just past eight o’clock is still early. Maybe Westley has just
finished work and is on his way back.” Gabrielle smiled at Sophie, but there was an undeniable
bitterness in her words and emotions.
Sophie understood where Gabrielle wasing from. But she didn’t know what to say. As far as she
knew, Westley would arrive ahead of time if he cared enough.
It was already dinner time. If he wanted to eat dinner at home, he would’vee back early. If he
couldn’te early, he would’ve called Gabrielle.
In reality, neither had hee back early, nor did he make any phone calls. Obviously, he hadn’t
attached any importance to Gabrielle.
This, though, made Sophie sad.
“Gabrielle, how about…”
“Sophie, why don’t you go back to your room to take a shower and have a rest? I’ll wait for him. If he
doesn’te back at ten o’clock, I’ll eat and go to sleep, okay?” Gabrielle bore the bitterness in her
heart and insisted that Sophie return to her quarters.
What else could Sophie say, or do? She had no choice but to listen to her. “Well, okay, I’ll go back to
my room now. Call me if you need anything.”
As soon as Sophie left, Gabrielle dropped all pretenses and the smile disappeared off her face. She
took a deep breath, took out her phone and obsessively checked it for messages. Finally, she
Clicked on Westley s phone number and her thumb hovered it. She didn’t have the courage to call him,
and she was afraid that it would only make him hate her more if she urged him or disturbed him.
She stayed true to her word and decided to wait it out till ten o’clock. If he wasn’t back by then, this was
thest time she would attempt to cook for him. Not only had she cooked this meal at the cost of her
flesh and blood, but it was worse that he wasn’t even present to taste the dish.
It had proved that all this, including her, had been nothing but a joke in Westley’s heart.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Alvin arrived at the club at half-past nine. Westley stood up, ready to leave.
“Hey. Westley, you just had a few drinks. Are you going already?” Jonas poured wine for all of them. He
thought it strange, that Westley was leaving while his coat stilly on the back of the sofa.
“Who told me that he wouldn’t leave until he got drunk tonight?
“I got something.” Westley had always been private about his own affairs, and tried to put on an
indifferent air about them.
Of course he had to leave if he had something else to do.
What’s the matter? Is it work? You said that the Morris Group operates well without you. We would
never stop drinking before we were drunk, and you’ve only drunk a little bit. Are you afraid that you
won’t have a ce to sleep in this lovely area of Alexis’s?” Jonas purposely provoked Westley.
He loved his sister dearly-the same sister who had
been ill-treated by this cold and distant man. He felt his brotherly duties ovee him. He couldn’t hurt
Westley physically, but there was nothing stopping him from humiliating him and putting him down for
her.
“I’ve told you already! This is the difference between a married man and an unmarried one. Why don’t
we just allow Westley to go back to his beloved wife?” Alexis knew that the reason Jonas treated
Westley the way he did. It all had to do with the ignorant girl, Carol
She had put everything on the line-including her sses and education and hade directly to
Westley to take her ce as a substitute bride. Little did she know that Westley had already
married another beautiful woman and was currently hiding her.
“I’ll treat you next time.” Westley dly took Alexis’s leeway of letting him leave, and so he vanished as
soon as he said that.
Alvin was waiting downstairs. As soon as he saw Westley, he rushed and opened the car door for him.
“Mr. Morris, why did you leave so early today? Usually, you and Remy will drinkte into the night, don’t
you?”
“I wanted to leave early. Any other unsolicited opinions or questions?” Westley scowled at him and then
bent his head as he got into the car.
to his early departure. Unfortunately for him, he was Mr. Morris’s punching bag.
“It’s really not easy to be a special assistant. Being around and working for the king, is like always
apanying a tiger. It’s so unpredictable…’
“Mr. Morris, shall we go back to the Vineyard Vi?” Alvin quickly got in the car and started it.
“Half Moon Bay.” After saying these words, Westley closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the
headrest. He didn’t want to utter another word.
Alvin took the hint, not daring to ask any more questions. He drove fast.
Half Moon Bay. Alvin didn’t expect Mr. Morris to leave early in order to see Gabrielle. It was a good
sign. Yesterday, he had taken the cake and today, he had left his social activities early. Alvin didn’t
believe that Mr. Morris had no feelings for Gabrielle.
By the time the vehicle arrived at the vi, Gabrielle was in a half-sleep as she waited at the table. She
didn’t hear it approaching.
Westley got out of the car and frowned. The vi was well-lit, but there was no sign of life, no sign of
the woman who had “cooked for him” rushing out to wee him home. Did she go to bed early?
He knew it. She was not sincere. i
Or had she lost too much blood, and had to be rushed to hospital?
The horrible idea popped up in Westley’s mind and he quickened his pace towards the vi.
