Chapter 136 You Must Accept Your Responsibility
Gabrielle didn‘t understand what was wrong with her body that it became so sensitive around Westley. When he touched her, she would shiver involuntarily. Her body’s reactions to him shamed her.
Never in her life had she been so utterly embarrassed and humiliated, but there was nothing she could do but bear it silently.
“Do you feel uncomfortable?” Westley wondered what thoughts were running through her mind when he found her covering her face with her feet curled up.
“No, I am good. Really, I’m fine. Can I get up first?” Gabrielle said coquettishly.
Westley found her very attractive but it was obvious that Gabrielle was unaware of her beauty.
Westley had always prided himself on
having an ironclad self control but that control vanished when he was around Gabrielle
In fact, Gabrielle did not get better at all. She thought that she was useless because she couldn’t even complete the simple task of drying her hair without falling down.
Westley picked her up and carried her to the bed silently.
Westley found that Gabrielle’s face was extremely red when she finally dropped her hands from her face.
“Thank you, Westley.” Gabrielle could not say anything else. She stared at him. uneasily.
Westley scanned her from head to toe with a cold look on his face.
“Are you sure you don’t need Remy to come here?” Westley asked with great concern.
Gabrielle shook her head immediately. “Yes, I’m fine. Don’t bother Dr. Remy anymore.
In fact, Remy had told Gabrielle that her episodes were more frequent when she was around Westley. If she informed him that she was injured again, Westley would be blamed. The fact that she had fallen to the ground while drying her hair was so embarrassing.
She would never allow anyone other than Westley to witness her humiliation,
Therefore, she couldn’t let Remy come.
“Change your clothes.” Westley took a new shirt from the wardrobe and threw it at her.
Gabrielle didn’t realize that her shirt had gotten wet when she fell on the floor until that moment.
She would need to change different shirt.

Gabrielle held the new shirt and stared at Westley in confusion. “Do you really want me to wear it?”
“Why not? Or you want to sleep naked?” Westley raised his eyebrows and coughed a
Gabrielle was unsure what reply to give to him. If she was alone, she would have considered sleeping naked. But they were sharing the room tonight, so it was impossible for her to sleep in the nude.
“T’ll change my shirt.”
Westley opened the door and left without saying a word.
Seeing the door closed, Gabrielle didn’t know what he thought of her. He might decide that she was stupid.
After all, only few people could fall to the ground while drying their hair like she had just done.
The only thought occupying his mind was Gabrielle’s slender and fair legs.
He didn’t want to talk about her now
She was a scourge to him.
“Did you two fight? Is that why you came downstairs to drink coffee? You have never had such a habit before,” Miley told him frankly after she had stared at him for a while.
The coffee was just ready. Westley took it over, blew on it gently and took a sip.
He had brought the beans with him the last time he visited. There was a coffee machine in Miley’s house in the countryside, which was convenient for him to use at any time since he liked drinking coffee, but it was rarely used.
It was really strange for him to come downstairs to make coffee tonight. No wonder Miley was confused and disturbed by it.
“Grandma, I won’t quarrel with Gabrielle. You know, we are just a fake couple.” Westley stared at Miley sternly.
Miley certainly could understand what he meant.
“I don’t care about your relationship. As long as you are married to her, you have
to be responsible for her. Men in the Morris family are responsible.” The smile disappeared from Miley’s face and she became solemn.
“Grandma, responsibility and love are two totally different things,” Westley replied coldly
He had always been scrupulous in separating his public interests from his private ones and it would not be changed by anyone.
“Since you know that, you can’t do anything bad to her.” Miley liked this girl from the bottom of her heart. Since Gabrielle was the daughter-in-law of the Momis family now, she couldn’t suffer from anything. 5
