Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 353
Chapter 353 I‘d Like To Believe You
When Gabrielle came back, she saw Westley sitting in the car with a goofy grin on his face. She
couldn’t help but wonder what happened to him while she was out buying gifts. She slowly made her
way towards the passenger side.
“Westley, I’m back.” Gabrielle crouched down by the window to peer at him.
“What did you buy?” Westley craned his neck to see what she was carrying in her hand.
The gift box wasn’t very big. Westley assumed she didn’t think too much about what to give Micheal.
She probably just grabbed whatever she saw first.
Relief flooded his veins. He felt better seeing that Gabrielle didn’t exert too much effort in finding the
perfect gift.
*Take a quess.” Gabrielle opened the door and sat down. She turned towards him with a smile. She
teased the box in front of him to make him guess what was
inside.
“It’s not something too precious, right? That was the only thing Westley was concerned about. He didn’t
care what it was as long as it didn’t mean that much to her.
‘Who cares what she bought?”
“Come on, just guess.” He was clearly uninterested, which was a huge buzzkill for Gabrielle. He could
have just yed along. After all, she spent half an hour choosing the item. She was a little tired, and
she just wanted to have some fun with a guessing game.
But Westley was se about it. Gabrielle lost her earlier enthusiasm and just put the box inside her
bag.
“Do you really want me to guess?” Westley heaved a sigh. He started the car and began driving
He knew where Micheal’s vi was. Westley made it a point to know everything about a potential rival.
Finding out the other guy’s address was
SVETUN ITU
basic,
Westley found out the location in less than five minutes, and he already memorized all the streets
leading there
“It’s just a little game, Westley something for fun. If you really don’t want to guess, then forget it.”
Gabrielle turned to look out the window and leaned her head on the ss. Westley couldn’t even
humor her,
“Pen? Westley said, his eyes still on the road
Gabrielle gasped. She looked at him as though he just sprouted three heads. She pped her knee
lightly and giggled. “Westley, how did you guess? Is it that obvious?
It was unbelievable.
Westley grinned smugly. It was too simple for him. He saw the brand logo on the bay, and he was
familiar with it. That was why he instantly knew what item she picked.
It wasn’t the best birthday gift, obviously. But it wasn’t that bad either. Overall, it was generic and
impersonal.
All of which pleased Westley. He initially
feared that she would put a lot of thought into the gift, which only made him jealous. Now that he
realized she bought something she would probably gift to her boss, Westley felt ridiculous.
“It’s nothing. I got lucky. I guess.”
Westley’s tone and facial expressioni didn’t give away his white lie. He focused un driving, but he was
well aware of Gabrielle being in awe of his guessing prowess.
Gabrielle reacted as though she just witnessed something magical and supernatural, so she eagerly
showed her gift to him.
The brand was well-known for selling pens that cost tens of thousands of dors. It wasn’t something
people used for daily writing, but it was what CEOS used to sign important documents.
Westley owned something simr and from the same brand, but his was from the top series.
Westley’s pen was more expensive and more exclusive than this one.
“I wanted to buy a ck pen, but it was
out of stock. The only one left was a Hilver gray pen. It’s still beautiful. anyway. What do you think?”
Gabrielle moved it closer to his Geld of visjon 50 he didn’t have to turn his head,
Westley didn’t even spare it a nce. It was impersonal and generic. yes, but it was still her gift to
another man. Westley wasn’t about to gush how good it was.
“Not bad. Just put it back in the box;” Westley said in a perfunctory tone. He noticed he was gripping
the steering wheel so tightly, so he loosened his hands.
Gabrielle sensed a trace of jealousy from hirni. She quickly put the per back inside but lifted the corriers
of her lips.
“Westley, are you unhappy again? You look grumpy.” Gabrielle leaned her shoulder on the seat so her
body was facing Westley.
“It’s not a gift for me. Why should that make me happy?” Westley’s tone was cold and curt. He
clenched his jaw because it annoyed him.
There was no reason for him to be happy. The gift was not for him, and
they were headed to the vi of someone he didn’t even like
“Hey, listen. I’ll give you a gift too next time. Okay?” Gabrielle straightened the box to make sure it
looked presentable.
“Okay.” Westley agreed.
He liked the tie she picked for himnst time. In fact, he liked everything she gave hirr, It didn’t matter if
he already had the same stuff; as long as it was from her, he cherished it.
As someone who could afford everything, he reacted differently when it came to the woman he loved.
If other people gave him luxury items and Gabrielle gave him something inexpensive, he would choose
hers every single time
Gabrielle smiled brightly at him. Although there was no change in his facial expression, his tone
softened.
“Westley, you like my gift for you, don’t you?” Gabrielle had a hopeful look on her face.
She actually wanted to ask him
for so
Westley didn’t respond to her teasing. but deep down inside, he wanted to chuckle at how pleased she
was at herself.
Gabrielle sensed that Westley didn’t want to talk anymore. So she just sat with her gift on herp and
stared at the changing scenery outside.
“Westley, do you know where Micheal lives?” Gabrielle’s curiosity was piqued.
She realized she didn’t give Westley the address, and yet, he drove all the way here without checking
for directions even once.
“Yes. I know everything that I want to know.” There was no reason to deny it. Gabrielle knew how
Westley was.
As one of the most powerful and influential figures in Antawood, Westley knew all that he needed to
know. It was also rtively easy for him to find things out.
Of course. Gabrielle knew what Westley was capable of. She witnessed it firsthand
For Westley, who could obtain confidential information in a matter of minutes, the only things he didn’t
know were those he had no wishi of knowing useless facts that didn’t affect him.
“Okay, so you know where he lives. I’mn still worried, though, that you’re driving the wrong way.”
Gabrielle smiled. She enjoyed teasing him sometimes.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
“That’s lesson number one for you, Gabrielle. Don’t hide things from me because I always find them
out. If I catch you concealing anything at all, I’ll make you suffer.” Westley was looking at the road
ahead, but the energy in the car suddenly shifted a
Gabrielle didn’t expect him to say something like that out of nowhere. With her brows furrowed in
confusion, she confronted him.
“Westley, are you okay?” Gabrielle asked him uneasily. She shifted in her Seat because something just
soured his mood.
There was no trace of humor on his face.
He wasn’t joking about what he said. He wanted it to fully sink in
Westley wasn’t a man who made Empty threats. He always followed through if he said he would do
sorrething
“Gabrielle, I meant what I said I hate being lied to or cheated on, so don’t try to hide anything from me.”
His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he clenched his jaw.
By now, Gabrielle understood the gravity of Westley’s words. He didn’t make jokes in serious
situations. Thus, she believed everything he said.
“I don’t intend to hide anything from you. You must know that. You’re thinking too much.” Gabrielle
sighed audibly and ran her fingers through her hair.
Westley visibly rxed, and the tension between them eased a little.
*That better be the case. Westley drummed his fingers as he let Gabrielle process everything he said.
must have been difficult for him. There had been so much mistrust the beginning of their rtionship.
but now he was trying
It was a huge step for him, and Gabrielle didn’t want him to feel like she didn’t appreciate it.
“Me too.” Gabrielle said as she stared at his wide profile
