Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 328


    Chapter 328 Make Our Rtionship Public


    Gabrielle even said that Bryce was his brother-inw. If Westley refused again, the woman would


    surely be pissed off. She might even give him the cold shoulder.


    “I promise to help you look for him, but I won’t guarantee you good news, Westley warned. He didn’t


    want to get her hopes up especially if the Bryce he brought back would be crippled or was in a bad


    situation. If that was the case. what would Gabrielle think of him? That was why Westley thought it was


    best to


    give her a heads up.


    After all, Bryce was previously caught when he escaped. He even stabbed Westley. How could Westley


    forget and let it go that easily? Of course, he had settled the score with Bryce, and beaten him bloody


    just to release his pent-up anger.


    It was inevitable for Bryce to get hurt. That was just how it had been.


    But he wouldn’t kill Bryce. Westley could guarantee that much. After all, Westley wasn’t so callous that


    he would disregard Bryce‘s life. Also, Westley wasn’t mad or evil enough to kill someone so casually.


    The sole reason why he said he would turn Bryce into a corpse was to frighten Gabrielle and the


    others. Westley didn’t want the Jones family to think provoking him wouldn’t have consequences. He


    needed to teach them a lesson.


    As a result, the Jones family acquiesced. They didn‘t even look for Bryce anymore. Instead, they went


    by a different toute — they wanted to pay for it by marrying Gabrielle to him. It was quite the plot


    twist.


    “Okay. You will really ask someone to look for him, won’t you? If you don’t want to, you can tell me. I


    won’t force you to do something you don’t want.” Even as she said this, Gabrielle furrowed her


    forehead. She was still womed especially since she knew what was on Westley’s mind. She could tell


    he didn’t take Bryce seriously, and in fact, he treated Bryce as an enemy. Even so, she couldn’t me


    Westley. Bryce took away his fiancée mere days before they were


    supposed to get married. That was understandably unforgiveable.


    “I already told you I would look for him, I wouldn’t rencge on my promise. I would send people to look


    for him. If you don’t believe me, you need to stop asking me to do it.” Westley nced at her. He


    crossed his arms over his chest and wondered since when people started doubting him. He was never


    the type to go back on his word.


    And what was more infuriating was the fact that it wasn’t just anyone who was doubting him – it was his


    own wife. He wanted to be good to this woman and show her how honorable he was, but she always


    doubted and second-guessed his intentions.


    It was not right, and it was grating on his nerves.


    “I believe you. I just don’t want you to be in a dilemma,” Gabrielle quickly exined.


    Westley released the breath he didn’t know he was holding, and he felt a little better after hearing that.


    “So then, you should just avoid mentioning Bryce’s name in front of me. I get angry just


    hearing it. Understand?”


    Gabrielle nodded feverishly. Of course she understood. She also knew it wasn’t the right time to argue


    with him, so she should listen and simply agree.


    “I trust you. I won’t doubt you anymore.” She breathed a sigh of relief.


    As long as Westley agreed to look for Bryce, Westley would definitely find him. She should stop


    questioning Westley at every turn.


    “Now that I already agreed to your request, what reward should I expect?” asked Westley. He raised


    his brow, a smile ying on his lips.


    Gabrielle was not stupid, and she immediately understood what he meant. Seeing his smirk, she


    rushed to kiss him.


    It had been a pretty wild and rough night. And she felt the consequences the following morning when


    she woke up with her waist and back aching


    Gabrielle rolled over the bed and groaned. She knew it was her fault, so she had to bear it. She tried to


    stretch her back and only managed to hurt


    herself more.


    She dressed simply before she headed downstairs for breakfast. The culprit, Westley, was sitting in the


    dining room. He was drinking coffee while ckboa slept at his feet.


    Gabrielle smiled at the scene that greeted her. “ckboo is really my favorite dog He’s always so


    clingy to Westley.”


    “Oh, you’re up. How do you feel?” Westley looked up at her with concern. His cup was arrested halfway


    to his lips.


    “I’m okay.” Gabrielle felt herself flush at the question. She sat opposite him before looking at him


    wordlessly.


    “It’s my fault?” Westley put down his cup and interlocked his fingers. He rested his chin over his hands


    and saw the sh of resentment in her eyes.


    Gabrielle wondered why he bothered to ask when he already knew the answer.


    Westley went crazyst night, perhaps a little too crazy. It wasn’t the first time too. The night before


    last, he did the same thing to her in the hotel. So now, she felt bone-tired after what she had


    been through in the past two days.


    Her body ached so much, and some parts Telt tender to the touch.


    Gabrielle huffed. It was unnecessary for him to ask how she was feeling this morning – it was written all


    over her


    face.


    “No, I’m just a little tired,” Gabrielle said calmly. She grabbed a piece of bread and took a bite. She


    didn’t even know if she could go to work today because her body screamed in protest each time she


    moved


    “Don’t go out today. I’ll massage your waistter.” Westley knew that she would be tired, so he didn’t


    want her to leave. Besides, there were circles under her eyes. It would be better if she rested the whole


    day.


    “It’s okay. It’s not that serious. I just want to ask if you can be a little gentle next time,” Gabrielle


    comined in a low voice. She was stabbing the bacon on her te, but she met his eyes when she


    said this.


    Westley couldn’t help but smile. He gave her a small nod. “I’ll be careful next time.


    Gabrielle groaned inside. Next time? She didn’t want to do it again. Maybe she should just lock herself


    in her room.


    But of course, she didn’t say anything She just wanted to finish her meal in


    “If you want to go to the studio, I’ll drive you there after breakfast,” Westley offered. He wanted her to


    rest, but he thought maybe she’d get bored.


    Gabrielle stopped chewing. She remembered Vivian seeing Westley drive her there the other day, so


    Gabrielle didn’t want that to happen again.


    “No, thanks. I can drive there by myself. Yourpany and my studio are not in the same direction. It


    will take up your time.” She didn’t want to refuse Westley’s kindness directly because she didn’t want to


    upset him. She hoped he would let it go


    “Gabrielle, why don’t you want me to drive you to work?” Westley leaned back in his chair and gave her


    an assessing look. Gabrielle almost choked on her coffee at his sudden change of mood.


    “Westley, it’s not that I don’t want you to send me to work. It’s just that my colleague saw you the other


    day when you drove me to the studio. It doesn’t look good,” said Gabrielle hesitantly. She wiped her


    mouth with a napkin and prayed he would drop it..


    Vivian had always wanted to have the dirt on her. She thought a woman like Gabrielle couldn’t possibly


    afford such a good car, so Gabrielle must have seduced a rich man to get one.


    Gabrielle didn’t want Vivian to see Westley a second time, or she would not hear the end of it. She was


    certain Vivian’s face would light up with malice if she saw Westley dropping Gabrielle off.


    Gabrielle didn’t want to attract too much attention, especially Vivian’s That woman was unspeakably


    vicious.


    “Saw me?” Westley was a little surprised.


    He recalled that day. He dropped Gabrielle behind the bus station, but she was now saying that


    someone still saw


    them.


    “They didn’t see you. They just saw your


    car, so you can’t send me again. If you drop me off a second time, it’s not going to look good for me.”


    Gabrielle said 35 she shook her head. She made her decision, and she would stand by it.


    Westley merely gave her a nce. “Am I so ugly that you don’t want others to see

    Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. ‘What was he talking about?’


    Gabrielle resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Obviously, it wasn’t that. It was because others believed he


    was way too influential and affluent to have anything to do with her


    “It’s not that you’re too ligly. Come on, you know what I’m talking about. You said so yourself that our


    rtionship can’t be made public, so of course I don’t want others to see you. It’s that simple.”


    Gabrielle eyed him seriously.


    At the beginning of their rtionship. Westley asked her for privacy and how they could never go


    public. If he didn’t tell her that in the first ce, she wouldn’t be this careful and paranoid about people


    seeing them together,


    And yes, there was Vivian. That woman was bad news, and Gabrielle took great care so she wouldn’t


    see Westley again Vivian would only stir up trouble


    “Hmm, What do you think about making our rtionship public now?” Westley held out his cup of


    coffee to her before taking a sip. He continued to stare at her above the rim.


    Gabrielle was startled. “Make our Ttionship public?’ That was a huge leap for both of them.


    She looked at Westley in disbelief. Was he ready for that kind ofmitment? Was she? “Are you


    serious about making our rtionship public?”
