Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 First Peaceful Dinner

The environment was calm since it was late in the night. Westley had just returned and his wife, Gabrielle was shocked and a bit happy that he came back to Half Moon Bay tonight. She swallowed hard and looked at him fearfully.

“No, Mr. Morris. I don’t mean to blame you. I know that you’re very busy, I can understand that. It’s nice for you to come back home. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Let me warm up the food for you. It’s cold already.” u

She stood up, but all of a sudden, she felt dizzy and almost fainted because she had been sleeping for too long before Westley came in. If he hadn’t held her in time, she would have fallen. D

He held her by the waist tightly and made her lean on his hairy chest. 5

There was a faint fragrance that oozed from her body. Immediately she threw herself into his arms, it rushed quickly into his nostrils, which made him a bit startled.

“Ah, thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Morris…” she said as she quickly got out of his arms. She didn’t want to annoy this boss again.

“There is no need to warm up the food. I already had dinner before coming back,” he said coldly. 1

She lowered her head in silence with an unhappy countenance. As she lifted her head to look at him, her eyes which were once bright became full of

resentment. “Okay, Mr. Morris. It’s all right. You can go back to your room and rest well. I’m going to clean it up.”

“If he didn’t come back for dinner, why is he here right now? Wouldn’t it have been better if he went back to his residence in the Vineyard Villa?’ she asked herself angrily.

Even though she was angry, she didn’t have the guts to pour out her anger on him. She wasn’t ready to die anytime soon and so, she had to tread with caution.

“I’m sure you hate me so much right now,” he said when he saw how her face looked. He knew that she was upset

“What right do I have to hate you? I was the one who decided to cook for you tonight. I didn’t even expect that you’d come back.” She looked at him and tried to smile.

Instead, her expression showed that she was a little bitter and aggrieved, especially when she bit her lips hard. It seemed like he had done something heinous and unpardonable.

In reality, he was such a bad person. He had always been merciless, cruel, and cold-hearted in whatsoever he did. All the bad words for describing a person could be used on him. He was just a villain who was full of lust. 3

Despite all this, he didn’t care about other people’s feelings and opinions. Others couldn’t influence what he already had in mind to do.

But for the first time, Gabrielle’s facial expression of resentment made him feel that he was really bad.

“Go and warm up the dishes,” he said. “I’ll take a shower and come downstairs for dinner.” Immediately he said that he turned around and went upstairs.

She didn’t understand what he meant at all. ‘What does he mean by such statement? Was he going to have dinner, after all?” she mused.

All of a sudden, she burst into a fit of laughter and then went back to the kitchen to heat the cold dishes.

As he stood under the showerhead taking his bath, he started doubting the decision he had just made to his wife. He was being influenced by her recently and his principles had been broken over and over again.

When he came downstairs in his pajamas to have dinner with her, she had already heated the dishes and was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of soup.

The big and heavy white sand pot must have pressed against her injured hand, making her look a little uncomfortable.

“If you can’t carry it, it would be better if you don’t take it out. It’s not even necessary to serve it out. I can’t drink a whole pot of soup,” he said with a frown on his face and walked up to her and took the soup pot from her hands.

Gabrielle was taken aback by his sudden move, but then, she was quick to realize that he was just helping her. It was not easy to carry such a heavy pot with her injured hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Morris,” she said with a smile. She

“Who said that this man was cruel and cold-hearted, ‘ she thought to herself. It was obvious that despite the tough front he had always put up, he still cared about people he was close to. 1
