Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151 The Snake Encounter

It was obvious that Holly just wanted to get Westley’s attention by lying that she Sprained her ankle. Clearly, she didn’t strain her ankle or get hurt in any way. She could go around the mountain by herself without needing anyone to watch over her.

But then, there was another force of reluctance in Holly’s heart. She didn’t want to accept defeat, especially when she saw that Gabrielle had climbed the mountain and had gone very far ahead. She didn’t want to look like a weakling who couldn’t defeat an ordinary adopted daughter.

“What do you mean, Westley?” Austin asked. He took a brief look at Holly’s back before looking at Westley intently.

“All I’m trying to say is that as a man, you should know what your responsibility is and take charge! You should be able to protect the woman that you came with. The topography of the

Isido Mount is very intricate as we all know. If we are not careful enough, a slight accident could be irreversible,” Westley reminded Austin with a stern look on his face.

“Although you’re my senior cousin, Westley, I won’t take it lightly with you if you criticize me. You don’t have the right to do such a thing to me. I know what my responsibility is right here and now, which is to take care of Holly. But you know that she is in love with you. Are you expecting me to follow her around? Or are you going to push her away from you so that you can let me take care of her?” Austin asked. He was furious and he made sure that Westley knew.

“Have you gone crazy, Austin? I’m asking you. I’m a married man for heaven’s sake. I have never had any responsibility towards Holly in the past, so why should I now? If she has a crush on me, that’s her business and not mine. If I have to respond positively to everyone who has a crush on me, what kind of husband does that make me? I can’t possibly be a good man to my wife,” Westley said as he sneered at Austin. 4

“You are an evil man and you also

behave like a big fool You forced Gabrielle to marry you, didn’t you? We all know that she never wanted to marry you.” Austin clenched his fists tightly 19 if he wanted to punch Westley at any

“I never forced her to marry me. I gave her a choice and she finally chose to be with me. I know you love Gabrielle, but I need you to know that as long as I don’t divorce Gabrielle, she will always remain your sister-in-law. The Morris family doesn‘t allow any kind of immoral relationship within the family. If you want to defend Gabrielle, it depends on whether you can challenge the authority of the Morris family or not,” Westley told him ruthlessly. 3

He just wanted this cousin of his to know who he was and also know his boundaries as regards his wife.

“Don’t think that I’m afraid of you, Westley. I know what to do and I don’t need you to tell me,” Austin yelled at him angrily. He was mad at himself for not being able to take Gabrielle from him.

He had seen countless times that Gabrielle was not happy to stay with Westley and her so-called husband was not interested in keeping her, neither did he want to take care of her.

“You can open your mouth and say that you’re not afraid of me. I know that. But the Foster Family is afraid of me. You know that the Foster Group is now fused with the Morris Group, so you should better think twice before you react. I don’t want our relationship as brothers in this family to be destroyed, and in the same way, I don’t want my aunt trapped in this dilemma,” Westley explained to him. He cared about the whole situation. He wanted Austin to know the kind of situation he was in and how to act accordingly.

“You! How dare…”

Austin shouted as he gritted his teeth in anger. He was unable to utter another word.

He felt that what Westley was saying was right. The Foster family as it were, was now half attached to the Morris Group. And since Westley was the CEO of the Morris Group, he could remove the Foster Group anytime or any day he felt

dissatisfied with them.

If this should happen, Austin and his mother would be the ones to suffer for it. It would affect his own home and also his mother’s home. Both of them were very important to him.

For this reason, he had to think twice so that he wouldn’t dare to ruin the solid relationship between the two families.

“As you’re thinking about what I’ve said, try to catch up with Holly and keep an eye on her. I have to go and look for my wife.” As soon as he said these words, he turned around and moved away.

There were several ways to get up to the mountain. Westley knew that Holly had chosen the main one and for this reason, he decided not to go through that way so that he wouldn’t have to collide with her again. He chose another path.

Although Westley didn’t like climbing the mountain, he had climbed the mountain on several occasions because Zaid and Miley had built their house right at the foot of Isido Mount. As a result of this, he knew his way around the place very well.

So it was a piece of cake for him to find a path to go up the mountain since he knew his way around.
