Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Isido Mount

It was still late in the night and everywhere was calm. Gabrielle and Westley were still in the room. Her face immediately turned red in despair when she heard what he had said. As she looked at him, she couldn’t say anything in refutation. The only thing she could do was to stare at him in anger.

“Take your fierce eyes off me, Gabrielle. You do not have any right to look at me in such a manner!”

Westley yelled at her ruthlessly. He wasn’t comfortable with the way she kept staring at him. What right does she have to look at me that way?” he thought to himself angrily

She was not a tenderhearted girl who would allow people to intimidate her in any way they liked and because of this, she felt very upset when she heard his domineering words. She felt unhappy when she thought of how authoritative he was to her. I

She had helped him to wash his clothes

out of kindness and now he was talking to her anyhow. Did she do something wrong? Was this the price she had to pay for being considerate?

She felt grievance pouring out of her heart as she tried to hold back her tears because she didn’t want him to see her cry like a baby.

“Look at me, Westley, and listen carefully. I’m not a pervert and i will never be one. I don’t like men’s underwear, let alone the one that belongs to you!” she screamed aloud as she looked at him with pain in her eyes.

Tears welled up in her red and sore eyes, but she was determined not to let them fall on her face. She held them back boldly.

As soon as he saw the tears in her eyes, he felt sorry for her immediately. He hated it when women cried around him, let alone his wife, Gabrielle.

He even felt bad when he saw the tears that she was doing her best to hold back, suddenly pour out,

“What I meant was that you washed my

underwear, which means that either you like it or you like me and so that was why you helped to wash it,” he said calmly.

All of a sudden, what he said made her choke.

“Me? Do you mean me? Like you?”

She paused for some seconds before talking again. “It seems like you’ve been thinking too much these past few days. I don’t like your underwear and I don’t like you, either. I’m tired. I’m going to bed,” she remarked in a firm tone and looked at him without blinking,

Westley knew her temper very well. He also knew that she could easily lose it. After hesitating for a while, he finally let go of her hand.

Without saying a word more, she went straight to the bed, climbed on it, and covered her whole body with the quilt.

As he looked at the bulging figure under the quilt, he felt that she was small and cute. The anger he felt in his heart just now seemed to fizzle out all of a sudden.

As he turned away from looking at her, he glanced at the basket and siw that there were two white shirts lest in it that he hadn’t noticed. One was changed by him some moments ago while the other one was changed by his wife just before she had her bath. Mr. Morris Who had never washed or dried clothes in his life promptly bent down and took the shirts out to dry.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle was still covered with the quilt. The more she thought about what happened between her and her husband, the more resentful she felt. “How could he talk to me in such a way?” she asked herself silently as the tears kept pouring out. Her body trembled for a while before she finally slept off.

When he was done hanging the clothes outside, Westley smoked a cigarette on the balcony before coming back inside the bedroom. By the time he got to bed, she was already fast asleep. When he lifted the quilt, he saw the tear stains on her white fair face.

“She must have been hurting. . he thought to himself as he felt bad all over. ‘I shouldn’t have spoken to her like that.’

As soon as he laid down, Gabrielle curled up to his side and held him fondly with both hands and feet.

He contorted his face in a frown and tried to pull her away. but at that instance, he saw tears coming out of the comer of her eyes and changed his mind, Instead, he pulled the quilt over both of them and covered them well.

When Gabrielle woke up in the morning. the sun was shining brightly outside and some of the light entered the room. Westley was already out of bed and she didn’t see him anywhere around the room. She quickly cleaned herself up and went to the balcony to take her clothes inside and put them on. Thankfully, it was summer and her clothes were already dried in such a short time.

By the time she came downstairs, she saw Miley making breakfast, but she didn’t see Westley. Her eyes scanned everywhere for him, but she still didn’t see any trace of him.

“Good morning, grandma! You’re up so early.
