Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 100

What she heard Westley say got her angry. She paced up and down in her room as she bit her lips hard and tried her best not to react to what he said. She resisted the strong urge in her to go downstairs and confront him. What did he mean by saying that she was made of paper? He felt that she got bruises quite easily which made him think that she was just too frail.

'Does he think that I'm not scared of feeling pains all the time? Does he think that I derive joy in having injuries all over my body?' The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

He still didn't apologize for his useless statement. All of a sudden, he appeared behind her in the middle of the night scaring her out of her wits.

Since she had a long day, she was about to go upstairs to take a shower, but she felt thirsty at the same time. She was on her way to the kitchen to get some water to drink and accidentally heard everything he said about her.

At that moment, she knew that she had such a bad image in this man's heart.

'He's such a bad guy, ' she thought with a sneer on her face.

"Why did you come here unexpectedly, Mr. Morris? You are worried about your wife, isn't it?" Sophie asked with a smile on her face. "You must have brought this cake just for her. She loves eating cakes. She will be very happy about it." This woman was very smart. Coming at this time with a cake in his hand, it was obvious that he came here for a special purpose and it was to see Miss Jones.

To her, there was nothing like a false marriage and so she didn't believe that there was no love between the both of them.

Gabrielle lazily drank the water and thought of the pretty cake box he was carrying.

'Did he come with the sole aim of bringing me a cake at this late hour?' she thought to herself.

'Did he come here to apologize for leaving me alone these past few days?'

If this was the case, should she consider forgiving him?

'Gabrielle, you are so cheap! A simple cake buys you off!' she nudged herself.

"Sophie, take the cake. Alvin bought it for me and I don't like desserts. You can eat it with Gabrielle," he said as he put the cake in Sophie's hands forcefully and made her know how the cake came about.

He didn't buy it himself, lest Gabrielle should start overthinking the whole issue.

"Mr. Morris, didn't you ask Alvin to specially buy it for Gabrielle?" Sophie stared at the cake box and didn't believe what Westley had said.

"Sophie, I need you to understand me. I didn't come to see her. Besides, from what I can see, she is doing fine and doesn't need to be worried about at all. Don't you have money to hire workers to clean out the weeds for you? Why does Gabrielle have to weed and get hurt all over her body to have my attention?" he asked with a sarcastic look on his face. Westley was good at the irony, the cruelest kind.

It was exasperating.

Gabrielle heard every word he had said. She had thought that he would praise her even if he didn't feel sorry for her for weeding the garden with blisters.

But then, he didn't praise her, but teased her as if she deserved the injuries that came with tilling the garden. This man was just a heartless human being.

She couldn't stand it anymore so she went upstairs to take a shower after drinking the water.

Sure enough, she couldn't expect too much from him. This man would only make people fall into depression with the way he talked about them.

The two outside didn't know that she had heard so much of what they discussed before going upstairs. Looking at the pink and beautiful box, Sophie thought that there must be a very delicious cake in it. She was happy, thinking that Gabrielle would also be very happy to see the cake after taking a shower.

"Mr. Morris, Gabrielle volunteers to work these days a

nd she isn't arrogant nor difficult. She even works harder than me. Just so you know, she doesn't do it for you. She just wants to clean up the whole house and make it beautiful. She said that since she would keep living here, she wants the place to be as beautiful and as comfortable as possible." She didn't want him to have any preconceptions against his wife. After all, she was a good girl.

"Keep living here?" His way of focusing on the key point was a bit unexpected.
