Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 20

With resentful eyes, Gabrielle glared at Westley.

This man was often confused about right and wrong. Without any invitation, he barged into her room and blamed her for vomiting loudly.

"Why are you blaming me for forcing you to eat shrimps? I had no idea you're allergic to seafood. Why didn't you tell me?" He could already tell what she was thinking based on her expression.

Although he purposely forced her to eat a shrimp, he wasn't aware of her seafood allergy.

Ignorance was a believable alibi, right?

"I'm not blaming you!" Then, she opened the drawer and took out a bottle of anti-allergic drugs. She swallowed two pills.

Since her arm felt itchy, she started to scratch it.

"Come on, Gabrielle. You're no longer a child. Why do you still eat seafood if you're allergic to it? Do you enjoy ingesting poison? If you're planning to die, then do it by yourself. Just leave me out of it. I don't want to be a suspect for murder," Westley said in a cold voice.

Soon, she felt like a lump of cotton clogged her throat. Because of her allergy, she was having trouble breathing.

"Don't worry, Westley. If I die because of my allergy, I won't blame you," she said in a sarcastic tone.

Because of her stubbornness, Westley couldn't help but snort.

When he noticed the red rash on her arm, he became concerned. "Maybe you should go to the hospital, Gabrielle."

"No, there's no need for that. I'll feel better once the drug runs its course." She became much calmer. However, Westley's presence in her room still made her uncomfortable.

"Westley, I'm alright. Since I already took my medicine, I just need some rest. You can leave if you want," she softly replied.

However, he had no intention of moving. Therefore, she stopped insisting. After all, that man would do anything he wanted. He never listened to the opinion of others.

Gabrielle headed for the bathroom sink. She felt more comfortable after washing her arm with cold water.

Meanwhile, Westley was left in the room. The feminine atmosphere made him feel uneasy. He took out his phone and dialed Remy's number. He told the latter to send the most effective anti-allergic drugs to Vineyard Villa as soon as possible.

After the call, his eyes wandered around the room. Suddenly, he became interested in the things on the white cupboard.

Apparently, Gabrielle won countless academic awards from primary school until she finished her university degree. He had no idea how smart she was as a student.

Suddenly, he noticed several photos on the top row of the cupboard. It was her childhood memories with Bryce.

Most of the pictures captured Bryce looking at the camera while she stared at him with a sincere smile.

Anyone could see she was genuinely happy around her brother.

"What are you staring at, Westley?" Gabrielle just came out of the bathroom. When she noticed him standing in front of the cupboard, she grew anxious.

She was hiding all her photos with Bryce there.

"I have no idea how smart you are! It's out of my expectations that you're a straight-A student. I don't you well enough, Gabrielle." However, he never said anything about the photos.

"There's no need for you to know me that well. We're going to get a divorce once Nellie returns, right?" Gabrielle gently mentioned divorce.

At first, Westley only asked for a wedding ceremony. It was never his intention to get the marriage certificate.
