Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111 Intentional Rebuff

Gabrielle was very happy and this showed in the way she carried herself jauntily. Before she returned to Half Moon Bay, she went to the supermarket and bought a bag full of food ingredients specially for Westley.

When Sophie saw her with the bag. she was puzzled. She asked, “Gabrielle, why did you come back with such a big bag of food items? I have ordered them this morning.”

“There’s no problem about that, Sophie. This one is specially for Westley tonight,” she replied with a smile plastered on her face. Gabrielle carried the things she had bought into the kitchen.

It took Sophie a few seconds to process what Gabrielle had told her before she ran after her happily. “Gabrielle, do you mean Mr. Morris will come here for dinner?” she asked with enthusiasm.

Gabrielle paused for some seconds and smiled again. “I think he may come,” she replied hopefully

In reality, she wasn’t completely sure why he had hung up the phone that way. ‘Did he agree to come back for dinner or not?’ she asked herself silently.

Anyway, she would prepare dinner for him. It was his business, whether he chose to come back or not. “I’ll just play my role,’ she decided within her.

“It’s great that Mr. Morris can come back and have dinner with you, Gabrielle. I will be so happy about

Her cooking skills were just average, so it might be a little bit difficult to reach the kind of taste that her husband wanted. Be that as it might, she decided to give it a try since there was no harm in trying “All right, Sophie. I’ll go back to my room and change my clothes. I’ll come down to prepare dinner later.” Gabrielle turned around and left the kitchen and climbed upstairs to her room. Sophie couldn’t hold back her excitement at that moment. She quickly called Westley. “Mr. Morris, will you come back for dinner tonight? Your wife bought you a large bag of food ingredients and said she would cook dinner for you by herself.” Her delight didn’t have any effect on Westley. “I hope she doesn’t burn down the kitchen,” he said indifferently “How can that be possible, Mr. Morris? Gabrielle is a person who may know how to cook and even cook well. I saw how she cleaned up the weeds in the garden very well.” She was willing to trust Gabrielle. “Sophie, you should understand that cleaning up the mess in the garden is different from burning up the kitchen.” Westley still didn’t believe that his wife could cook and he wasn’t even ready to agree with what Sophie was saying. “Mr. Morris, please don’t say that in front of her. She would be very disappointed. I will keep an eye on her. Just make sure you come back early tonight, “she reminded him repeatedly. “Let’s talk about this later. I’m caught up in the middle of something.” When she heard this, she decided to stop talking. “Okay, sure.” He had already hung up the phone.

After some time, Jonas came over, followed closely by Alexis

“Westley, you’re going too far with this. Why didn’t you tell us, your brothers that you were going to get married? Why didn’t you tell us that you changed your bride temporarily?” Alexis jokingly asked Westley.

“There is nothing to share with you, Alexis. Besides, you aren’t supposed to be back until next month. Why did you come back ahead of time?” Westley asked, raising his eyebrows.

Last month, there was a new project he was working on in another city, and he had only been there for a few days. It was novel.

“How dare you say that? If Jonas hadn’t told me that you were married, I wouldn’t have known it. Why the secrecy? So I came back on purpose to see who your wife is. So tell me, whose daughter is she?

Alexis asked curiously as he sat on a chair.

Westley raised his head and took a brief look at him in an unfriendly way. He didn’t want to answer his question, thereby satisfying his curiosity.

For him, Gabrielle was just an adopted daughter of the Jones family and so, there was nothing to be curious about

“It’s not something worth celebrating. There’s no need for everyone to be informed,” he said coldly.

To him, he just married her to make Miley happy. He was abandoned by Nellie, his bride before marriage, which was a very shameful thing, so he

would not want to tell anyone about it.

“Okay, okay. It’s fine. I don’t mind if you keep a low profile and keep your marriage a secret. But as your good friend, can I see your wife?” Alexis proposed

“Yes. Can’t we meet her already?” Jonas supported him.

“There is no need to see her. It’s not necessary,” he refused bluntly.
