Lock You In My Heart Chapter 377


    f Helena were the one others forbade to talk about, then mentioning Nellie would certainly get on


    Westley’s nerves.


    Those two sisters of the Collins family were a touchy subject in front of Westley, as well as the Morris


    family.


    So when Gabrielle mentioned Nellie, both Bonnie and Miley were visibly displeased about it, for they


    were worried about Westley.


    Within a matter of seconds, the room became awkward.


    Gabrielle immediately realized that she had said something insensitive.


    She knew about Westley’s rtionship with Nellie, and she still blurted out the woman’s name like an


    idiot. If Liana were still inside the house instead of the garden, she probably would’ve scolded Gabrielle


    already.


    ‘Ugh! I’m so stupid!’ she thought to herself.


    “Westley, I, uh… I’m sorry.”


    “My love, there’s no need to apologize. Don’t be silly,” Westley uttered in a serious tone of voice.


    When Gabrielle looked him in the eye, she couldn’t read his expression. ‘Is he mad?’ she wondered.


    “Westley, I never meant to bring her up. I just blurted it out by ident. If you’re unhappy about it, I can


    make it up to you. Just ask anything of me,” she said.


    The moment Westley heard her say that, a smirk was painted on his lips, and his eyes were filled with


    all sorts of wicked ideas.


    “Alright, Gabrielle. I’ll keep that in mind. You owe me one. For now, I’ll think of a request, okay?” he


    asked, as if this matter was negotiable.


    Bonnie knew what he was implying. It was obvious that he was having some dirty thoughts about


    Gabrielle right now.


    But this was also a part of their fun marital life, so she decided not to interfere with it.


    “Sure. Take your time. Once you have something in mind, you can ask me for it.” Gabrielle was still


    unaware of what he was thinking. She just thought that he would make a simple request.


    Compared to Westley, she was far too na?ve.


    “I’ll think about it,” he answered with an impish grin.


    For some reason, he looked incredibly nonchnt about this.


    But in reality, he had already begun scheming.


    After they finished the tea, Miley hoped they could all stay here for the night. However, Westley had to


    decline the kind offer. He then  Gabrielle.


    As soon as he got off the car, he carried her upstairs, closed the door, and threw her onto  staring at


    him with bewildered eyes. “Westley, what are you nning to do?”


    ‘What is wrong with this man? He’s been acting weird since we finished the tea! Tammy was hoping to


    y with me after that, but Westley turned the little girl down by carrying her to Bonnie. Aside from that,


    he even refused Miley’s offer to let us stay the night, and then he took me back home!’ Gabrielle


    thought.


    He sped up all the way back


    “Gabrielle, didn’t you say that you’d promise to do me one request?” Westley half-bent onto the bed,


    looking down at her with a malicious gaze.


    The way he was staring at her made Gabrielle feel uneasy.


    Somehow, his behavior was scaring her.


    “Yes, I did promise you that. Have you made up your mind?” Gabrielle swallowed her own saliva.


    Just staring at him like this was terrifying enough, and it was difficult  now regretting the promise she


    made.


    “I have, Gabrielle,” Westley uttered in a soft voice.


    Gabrielle’s heart was ovee with regret. ‘Is it toote to call this off?’ she wondered.


    “Tell me what you want,” she whispered, trying to calm herself down.


    “Toda


    y, you’re going to take the lead,” Westleymanded.


    ‘I’m going to take the lead?’


    Gabrielle immediately understood what he was implying. Because of how embarrassed she felt, she


    wasplete annoyed.


    “Westley, can’t you be serious for once?” she shouted, feeling like she was defeated.


    “I am being serious. Can’t you tell?” Westley countered.


    At this point, Gabrielle had no idea what to tell him.


    “Don’t you have any other requests?”


    “No, not really. I want this one,” Westley replied, sounding very serious.

    “Then…”


    “Look, Gabrielle, if you can’t do it, just don’t promise me anything in the future. It’s just going to make


    me feel sad and disappointed.” Westley decided to change his strategy.


    Gabrielle was a woman who could be persuaded by reason, but she could never be cowed by force. If


    he were to pretend like he was aggrieved, there was a high possibility she would feel bad for him.


    “I… I’ll give it a try.” Atst, she finally agreed.


    “It’s going to be okay. Allow me to teach you.” Westley grabbed her hand, snickering like an imp.


    Gabrielle couldn’t remember when exactly she fell asleep. By the time she woke up, the sun was


    already riding high. Her body felt ufortable. She felt as though her bones had been broken, and it


    made her feel like she didn’t want to move a muscle.


    Soon, she grabbed her phone to check the time, and eventually, she got up. In her heart, she cursed


    Westley for exhausting herst night. At the same time, she walked to the bathroom to wash up.


    Today, she had to go to ss at ten o’clock, so she needed to go to school. Fortunately, she still had


    enough time to be there.


    Once she had finished changing clothes, she went downstairs with her schoolbag. There, she saw


    Westley sitting in the living room, nonchntly drinking coffee and watching something on his iPad.


    She thought he had already gone to work.


    “Why are you up? You feeling okay?” Westley asked.


    “What do you think?” Gabrielle shot him a sidelong nce before walking out.


    “Hey! Where are you going? Let me drive you there.” Westley followed her, stopping her at the door.


    “I have a ss at ten. It’s good that I got up early. It’s already nine, Westley. If I don’t go, I’ll bete.”


    Although Gabrielle was pissed at him, she still exined the situation patiently.


    She was truly amazed at this man. No matter how long they did itst night, he could still get up early


    and be so energetic the following day.


    “Wait here. Give me five minutes to prepare. I’ll drive you there. I promise you won’t bete.” Westley


    pinched her cheek before turning around and going back inside.


    Gabrielle blushed at his reaction.


    At first, she didn’t want to wait for him. But when she thought of how difficult it was to hail a cab in these


    parts, she figured it would be best to let him drive her to school.


    Once Westley had finished changing his clothes, he went to the kitchen to fetch some food for


    Gabrielle.


    “Here. Eat it along the way.” Having said that, he strode to the garage.


    Gabrielle looked down and found a small carton of milk, and a sandwich, which was enough for


    breakfast.


    In a short span of time, he managed to whip her up some breakfast. It was so considerate of him to do


    so.


    “Mrs. Morris, please get in.” Westley pulled over in front of her, and opened the door for her.


    “Westley, when did you be so formal?” Gabrielle cast him a nce before getting into the car.


    “Well, life needs a sense of formality.” With a bright smile, he closed the door for her, and then he got in


    as well.
