Chapter 236 A Four–Leaf Clover Pissed Her Off
As they walked back from the river, Gabrielle stayed quiet while holding the clover in her hand. It was the same clover that Westley had said brought bad luck
She didn’t believe what he said. Tonight, she would test it out herself. She made up her mind to keep it in her room and see whether it brought good or bad luck.
Westley noticed she was diet and he knew that her mind was working, probably cooking up some kind of mind game, but he didn’t say anything to her.
When they arrived at Half Moon Bay, Alvin stopped the car. Gabrielle wordlessly left the car and went inside.
Only then did Alvin finally let out a sighi of relief – he could breathe normally again! The whole drive there, he had noticed the atmosphere was very tense and he didn’t dare to breathe loudly. let alone make a sound.
‘What happened between them? Hadn’t they just said they would take a walk by the river together?
The two looked very different when they came back — one was sad, and the other was cold and seemed passively angry.
Alvin wanted to turn on the heat because he felt like the car was freezing with their iciness towards each other!
“Mr. Morris, what’s wrong? Did anyone upset Miss Jones? You both seemed lite happy before you went for the walk.” Before they went, the atmosphere was light and even romantie – he remembered how envious he had felt with their love and affection towards each other. Why did suddenly change? “A four-leaf clover pissed her off!” said Westley coldly, opening the car door to get out of it.
“Four-leaf clover?”
Alvin was completely confused. ‘What’s going on?
“I still don’t seem to understand, Mr. Morris. What does a four-leaf clover have to do with anything?” Alvin asked
curiously
“So you know about the four-leaf clover, don’t you?” Westley raised his eyebrows and looked at Alvin. It seemed that his Assistant was capable and knowledgeable that he even knew about the myth behind this wild grass.
“Yes, I know a little about it. It’s very popular among young women, especially students — they make wishes with this four-leafed grass.” Alvin felt embarrassed to tell his boss about the time a girl had expressed her love to him during onddle school, using a four-leaf clover
It was natural that he knew all about it!
“I’m aware. Plant the four-leaf clover all over the yard,” Werdey replied calmly.
All over the yard? He wanted it to be covered with this four-leafed grass?
Alvin was bewildered.
Did Westley really know about this four leafed grass? He seemed to have some misunderstandings. For one thing, it was very rare, and this was what girls liked about it, too! There was this species of grass all over their yard, but most of
them were three-leafed, not four-leafed. Four-leafed grass was very hard to find, which was why it was known to be lucky.
“Mr. Morris, this…”
“Is it difficult?” asked Westley sternly. He raised his eyebrows and threw a challenging look at Alvin.
Yes – it was certainly very difficult! “I’ll find another assistant if you can’t do it,” said Westley without hesitation.
“No, I can do it, Mr. Moni! I’ll arrange someone to look foDhe four-leafed weeds right away. Alvin immediately started the car and Jeft.
He didn’t really want to stay any longer to accommodate any more of Westley’s bizarre requests.
When Westley returned to his room, Gabrielle had already gone to the bathroom to take a shower. He saw a small glass bottle on the dresser, with the withered four-leaf clover placed inside of it.
That tiny leaf was what this woman had
gotten angry with him over! He really didn’t understand the magic or specialty about it
Westley suddenly began to feel very thirsty – perhaps it was because of all the salty meats he had at the barbecue earlier. He took off his coat and tie, drank a glass of water and began to unbutton his shirt.
Gabrielle stepped out of the shower in her pajamas and wiped her hair while looking at Westley.
She was surprised to see Westley taking his shirt off. “Westley, what are you doing? If you want to take shower, take your clothes off inside the bathroom…”
“Westley, you… You are so cunning How could you… ” Gabrielle began to-stutter as her cheeks began to redaen in her shyness. She didn’t have the guts to directly look at his bare body! She wanted him to stay as far away as possible.
However, before she could step back, Westley stopped her. “Am I the one who’s cunning? This is the consequence of what you made me eat today. Gabrielle, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?” It was Westley’s natural instinct to blame Gabrielle.
“I… I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense. I ate all the same food you ate. If there’s indeed something wrong, we will all have problems. The truth is that you wando act indecently and you’re using ties as an excuse!” Gabrielle tried to loosen his grip from her hand but she was unable
