Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 360


    Chapter 360 I Like You, Westley


    Gabrielle’s words shocked Westley. He never imagined that she would be so concerned about his


    feelings, that she could ever get jealous.


    He found it hard to believe.


    “Do you know what you’re talking about, Gabrielle?” he asked, his voice solemn as he leaned towards


    her shoulders and looked into her eyes.


    Gabrielle didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she gulped down some water to sober up.


    “Of course, I know what I’m talking about, Westley,” she said. Before now, she wouldn’t dare say a


    thing like that to him. She would have preferred to keep it to herself.


    But being a bit drunk today, she was unbelievably honest with him.


    She was really grateful for all the care Westley showed her these days. It left


    happened.


    But today, he seemed somewhat nervous as he gazed at Gabrielle, knowing what she was about to


    say.


    “Westley. I think.. I’m so into you that it annoys me when other women stare at you.” Gabrielle said,


    trying hard to sound sober and brave. She still knew there would have been no way she would have


    said those words if she hadn’t been drunk,


    “I want to hear you say that again, Gabrielle.” Westley stared deeply into her eyes, gripping her hands


    so that she would not escape.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    She repeated the words, her eyes and voice glinting with sincerity. “I mean, Westley, I have somehow


    fallen love with… Hmm…”


    Before Gabrielle couldplete her statement, Westley, lowering his head, kissed her suddenly on the


    lips.


    The kiss was short but passionate, with Westley not letting go until Gabrielle gasped for breath. He sat


    back and watched her lips which were quite swollen, “I want you to say those words


    again, Gabrielle.


    Heaving. Gabrielle fixed him a stare, the impatience heavy in her eyes. “Haven’t I said that twice


    already?”


    Gabrielle muttered, annoyed. Why did this man act so selfish? He didn’t seem to take it seriously that


    she had gone beyond herself to express what she truly felt. Did he know how hard it was for her? Yet


    he wanted her to say it once more into his ears. One didn’t even have to tell the other that one had a


    crush on him more than once.


    “Well, it’s fine. I won’t ask you about that anymore. But tell me – when did you begin to like me?”


    Westley shifted curiously and gazed again at Gabrielle. For a long time, his heart had been throbbing


    for her. He hoped to someday marry her properly and be able to spend the rest of his life with her,


    showering her with all the love he had. But he had always doubted if the woman liked him back. She


    was always talking about Bryce and divorcing him ono Nallia ratu


    him once Nellie returned, after all


    That was why he found it hard to believe it when she said she liked him. If she


    really wanted to be with him, why did


    But although it surprised him greatly, he was still tingled by the excitement of hearing her say she liked


    him.


    He felt so good right now knowing she loved him as much as he loved her. After all, a rtionship was


    not perfect until both partners fell for each other,


    “Well... I really can’t tell when,” Gabrielle said, shrugging. She had no idea what to say.


    She really couldn’t tell him when immediately.


    “Did you have the feelings for me the first time we met?” Westley probed, putting his arms around her.


    He stared confidently. seemingly certain of the answer she would give.


    Gabrielle shook her head. “Not at all.” she said. “I didn’t like you that much at first.”


    Even at that time, they both understood the nature of their rtionship. understood that they were just


    two strangers who detested each other.


    Westley had hated Gabrielle’s guts then.


    Of course, he wouldn’t have had to force Gabrielle into this temporary marriage and would have been


    with Nellie, his fiancée, if Bryce hadn’t stolen her from him.


    So in the beginning, a silent animosity had existed between them. He had been quite hostile to her,


    being reminded of what Bryce had done each time he saw her


    “Well, it doesn’t matter if you liked me at the beginning. I’m d you do now. And, Gabrielle, I…”


    “What?” Gabrielle stared at Westley with those fascinating eyes. She wondered how much she meant


    to him.


    Nothing else mattered to her again. All she wanted now was the man who meant the universe to her.


    “I like you, Westley. Do you also like me?” she said suddenly. Then she bit her lip at once, realizing how


    undignified her question was. 3

    own heart atst.


    Now, Gabrielle impetuousness.

    her


    She blurted out, “Well, It’s fine if you don’t want to answer it. Let’s just pretend I didn’t say that.”


    Lowering her face, she felt so ashamed of herself. All the gusto she had felt earlier, all the hope she


    had hung on this rtionship were crumbling before her.


    Westley lifted her face with a hand and forced her to look at him right in the eyes. “What kind of man do


    you think I am, Gabrielle?”


    The question was so sudden that Gabrielle gaped at him in surprise. What kind of man was he?


    Well, he was handsome, cool and detached. But most importantly, he was gentle to her.


    All in all, he was a nice person. At least, she liked him really much now.


    “I think you are the best, Westley,” she said softly, their eyes locked in a warm stare.
