Chapter 153 A Great Husband
Austin and Westley had been together since childhood. However, their relationship wasn’t good. Westley would often bully Austin and take anything that the latter liked. As such, Austin was glaring at him.
Westley was a crafty and spiteful person. As such, Austin realized that the man in front of him offended him on purpose.
Although they were at odds against each other, Austin still hoped that Westley wouldn’t fall in love with the woman he adored Gabrielle.
Even though Helena was already dead, Westley was still in love with her.
“You don’t have to carry me, Austin. I can walk after a short rest. The snake just now scared me. It’s a good thing that Westley was there. Otherwise, I have no idea what to do.” Gabrielle explained while trying to break the troublesome atmosphere.
The two men in front of her weren’t fond of one another. Even if Gabrielle weren’t involved, Austin and Westley would remain enemies.
However, her presence actually sparked a more intense rivalry for the two men, which worsened their relationship even faster. She never expected that things would turn out that way.
“Well, if Mr. Morris isn’t here, I’ll be the one to save the damsel in distress. Luckily, he’s here.” Mia also realized how awkward their situation was becoming.
Gabrielle didn’t start the resentment between Austin and Westley. She merely rekindled a rivalry that began a long time
Someone might get hurt if the situation continued.
“Since Gabrielle is my wife, it’s only natural that I save her. Nonetheless, please don’t wander this dangerous mountain alone. Fortunately, the snake wasn’t poisonous. Otherwise, it’ll be futile to wait for me to save you, Westley warned Gabrielle in a stern tone.
when she heard his remark, she realized that he pretended to be a canng husband ΠΠ ΕΠΙΙΠΕ ΑΠ:ΙΠΠ Π ΙΠΤΓ.
After a quick thought, she decided to cooperate with Westley. At least in that, she could control what might happen if the two men lost their tempers.
“I understand. Thank you again for saving me. I stay close to you from now,” she replied and obediently nodded.
“Good. Don’t leave my side, okay? Are you able to walk now? Can we continue the hike?” Westley asked in a gentle tone.
“May I rest for now and walk later?” Her legs were still trembling. She couldn’t walk down the mountain, let alone climb it. But since they were almost at the top. she decided to continue hiking after a short rest.
“We can go down the mountain if you’re exhausted.” Westley wasn’t interested in reaching the mountain top. He had already climbed the Isido Mount more than ten times. As such, the view didn’t excite him anymore.
“But we’re almost at the top. I want to
climb and look at the scenery from up there.” Her eyes, full of pectations, stared at the mountaintop.
“Why don’t I accompany you to the peak of Isido Mount, Gabrielle? The scenery is beautiful. You can even see the whole Antawood from there,” Austin offered with a smile.
Meanwhile, Westley remained quiet as he glanced at Austin. Then, his sharps eyes stared at Gabrielle, indicating that she should decide what would happen next.
It was up to her to follow Austin or Westley.
The situation was troublesome.
Immediately, her mind went blank. She felt terrible for widening the wedge between the men in front of her.
