Chapter 235 Bad Luck
Clover On the way back, Gabrielle took a few sips of water and cautiously cast a glance towards the silent man next to her, who was walking slowly and taking big strides with his long legs. “Westley, did you enjoy the dingen? What I mean to say is … don’t find Akiba’s wife’s enthusiasm too much. She is always like that, especially when it involves me. You are the first man I brought there, and you are my boss, so naturally she was curious and paid more attention to you.” Y
Gabrielle explained the scenario to him, mervous that he was put off by the older woman’s enthusiasm.
“No,”
Westley said indifferently.
It was obvious that Akiba and his wife really cared for Gabrielle. They treated her just like their daughter, and were deeply concerned about her. They even found various excuses to go upstairs to Visit Westley because of Gabnelle.
If Gabrielle hadn’t introduced him as her boss, the older woman would have thought he was a thief stealing Gabrielle away.
Gabrielle was lucky that someone loved her this much. Being the adopted daughter in the Jones family didn’t stop her from receiving a lot of care and love from others. Surely it had something to do with her kind and giving nature.
Gabrielle was a peace-lovina* and affectionate person, who treated everyone with care and inspect; it was only natural that she would receive the same treatment in kiya. “That’s good to hear. I’m so full from the meal! Are you satisfied and full?”
Gabrielle was relieved to hear Westley wasn’t bothered by the older woman’s hyper enthusiasm – she had been very worried about this, indeed.
“Yes!”
“There is a walkway along the river. Many people come here to jog in the
moming, but would you be keen to go for a walk with me in the evening? It could help with digestion … but if you don’t want to, it’s all good … forget I asked.” Gabrielle’s enthusiasm flowed and ebbed. To ask Westley to go for a walk was close to insane – trust her to come up with this idea!
“Lead the way.” Westley had been very busy recently as he constantly worked and studied hard. He didn’t have time to go for walks or partake in leisurely activities – except when he occasiorally went to Xi District as he accompanied Miley “Okay, let’s go. It’s just Nittle further ahead.” A bright smile appeared on Gabrielle’s face. V
“Okay, Mr. Morris, you enjoy your walk. I will drive there and meet you both when you’re finished,” Alvin said, and quickly left the two of them alone to avoid intruding in their company and being the third wheel
So Mr. Morris and Miss Jones seemed to be dating! Their love was enough to make him faint with jealousy.
Gabrielle led Westley towards the
riverside path. They seemed quite inconspicuous as they walked – after all, only a few people from the upper class visited the Lane Island Westley wasn’t the sort of celebrity who showed up on TV every day or walked the red carpets, hence very few would be able to recognize him at a glance.
In that moment, Gabrielle felt as though they were just an ordinary couple.
Yes, they weren’t really together – they may be a fake couple, but they were still a couple
“Westley, have you been here before?” Gabrielle asked him, curiously.
The track along the ever had been built very recently. It was an interesting mixture of asphalt and cobblestone, for people to run and jog on. It was a pleasant and comfortable walk on which people could enjoy the scenery from.
said Westley
“I never had the time,” flatly.
Gabrielle understood what he meant. The CEO of the Moris Group didn’t have extra time on his hands to hang around in places like this.
”Then take it all in and enjoy it today. I don’t know if we’ll ever get a chance in the future.” With that, Gabrielle smiled and strode forward.
Westley followed her unhurriedly, about one step away from her. He observed her carefully during their short walk and found that she was very lively and enthusiastic about everything. She stopped to look at the many different leaves and flowers several times.
