Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 What If I Say No

Holly’s face slightly contorted in surprise. She had thought that Westley would have accompanied Miley right from the start of the mountain. After all, it wouldn’t have been sale for Gabrielle and Miley to climb the mountain by themselves.

But then Holly thought about the kind of man Westley was. He was known for being an arrogant, lone wolf, not for his kindness. Even when he had been around Helena, he had reluctantly agreed to go hiking after much forcing and encouraging by her.

But after hearing what Mia said, Holly was sure that Westley had come with Miley and Gabrielle from the start.

Thinking of this, Holly felt a sharp, sad stab in her heart.

Holly didn’t feel good about this. It was bad enough that Westley had accompanied Miley and Gabrielle to the mountain, but it was even worse that

Gabrielle was actually here in the same place as Holly

“Miss Edwards, what’s wrong?” Mia was overjoyed when she saw Holly’s face had gone pale.

She had guessed right.

Holly was jealous.

How could she to try her attempts on him now that he was Gabrielle’s husband?

“I’m fine. You mentioned … Did Westley come with you?” Holly called Westley by his name, displaying the intimacy she felt towards him by doing so.

It was Westley.

How did Holly have the audacity to call Westley by his first name like that? This indicated some type of underlying issue.

Gabrielle was unaccustomed to fighting Holly face to face so openly, but Mia would help her.

“Yes, Mr. Morris is competing against my brother now in climbing up the mountain. I do believe my brother will

have the upper hand because Mr. Morris has to carry Gabrielle’s backpack and it’s going to be an added burden for him to climb the mountain with it,” Mia said dramatically.

Gabrielle couldn’t help but glare at Mia when she said this. “Let’s not exaggerate, Mia. My backpack barely has anything in

it; it’s not heavy at all.”

“Gabrielle is right. Westley will be able carry a small bag without much weight. It will be a piece of cake for him for sure. * Miley agreed with Gabrielle.

A shadow fell over Holly’s face. Not only did Westley accompany Gabrielle to climb the mountain, but he was also carrying her belongings for her now

What did that mean?

It meant that he thought very highly of Gabrielle and she had secured a special place in his heart. Why else then, with the kind of temper that he had, would he agree to carry her bag if he didn’t want

It was obvious he had volunteered to do So, without anyone forcing him to.

The more Holly thought about it, the less she could stand it all. Westley shouldn’t have been so good to Gabrielle, albeit accompanying her here. He shouldn’t have betrayed Helena this way. I

very uncomfortable. You’d better not climb the mountain now. I think you should go back and have a rest.” Mia seemed to care about Holly very much.

Holly did look a little unwell as all the color had drained from her face. She was tired, sure, but those who knew her well would know why she felt this way.

“It’s okay. The studio has been open for a few days, and I’ve been really busy and sleep-deprived. That’s why I came to ease the tension by climbing this mountain today. I also didn’t want to come alone, which is why I invited Austin to accompany me,” Holly explained

Austin didn’t say a word the entire time. He followed them at his own pace, but his eyes were fixated on Gabrielle the whole way

He heard everything they said. He hadn’t expected Westley to change so much.
