Chapter 149 What Do You Think Of Me
Gabrielle was bound to choose Bryce over Austin.
After all, she had always liked Bryce.
It was true that this man had regularly caused trouble in Gabrielle’s life for his benefit, but Gabrielle continued to trust him and keep a special place in her heart for him.
Even if they couldn’t be together.
As for Austin, Gabrielle and him were just good friends.
“It seems that both the men are important to you.” Westley felt quite upset when he noticed that Gabrielle was pondering over this question for quite some time
Why was she thinking so long and hard about them?
“Yes, one is my brother, and the other is my senior. Of course they’re important to
me, in one way or another,” she replied straightforwardly, making Westley further slump into despair.
If Westley was going to be immature and get mad over this, Gabrielle was going to let him do so. She herself had a her own. temper and she was frustrated with only always pleasing Westley. He was the one causing trouble here, not her.
“Then I…”
“Westley. you climbed too fast to get to the top. It’s beautiful here! No wonder you came up so fast with Gabby.” Before Westley could finish his words, Holly’s cheerful voice chimed in behind them.
Gabby?
Gabrielle was speechless with regards to the way Holly was speaking. She wondered what the need was for Holly to so intimately call her Gabby.
“Yes, the scenery is really splendid here. Westley was in a hurry to show it to me, so he dragged me right up-see, even my wrist is red from his grip.” Gabrielle dramatically rubbed her wrist.
Westley looked at her wrist and saw the bright red color on it, wondering why Gabrielle didn’t tell him earlier and only waited until then to show it to everyone.
“Are you okay, Gabby?” Austin came over and looked at the red indents on her wrist. Her skin was fair so this made the marks more obvious and visible, even from a distance.
Austin’s face darkened seriously as he expressed concern towards Gabrielle.
Why was Westley so brash and unkind to her? ‘He doesn’t care about her, but I do,
Austin thought.
Austin gently reached for Gabrielle’s wrist to look at the marks more closely. “Gabby, let me have a look…”
“No, thanks, Brother Austin. My hand is fine. It’s just a little red but it’s not painful. Westley was careful and controlled himself when grabbed my hand, even though he was climbing at a quick speed.” Gabrielle withdrew her hand immediately.
It was not the right time to argue with
After all, Miley had followed them up, too. If she saw Austin holding her hand, she would misunderstand the situation.
She didn’t want Miley to think there was anything going on between her and Austin. Austin was Miley’s grandson. It would be bad for everyone, including Austin, if she misunderstood.
“Gabby, are you really okay?” It was sweet that Austin was concerned about Gabrielle, but that was not the right time to express it-not when so many sensitive parties were present. If he was going to continue on this trajectory, it would make the situation very messy.
