Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 354

Micheal's birthday party was a very private one, so he did not invite any outsiders. The only ones coming were his best friends and some members of the Robinson family.

Only Westley and Gabrielle were the new people invited to the celebration.

Not everyone there might know Gabrielle, but they all certainly knew Westley.

They were in the business circle and in the upper class of Antawood with him. For sure all of them would recognize him the moment they saw him.

That was one of the reasons Gabrielle was worried about bringing Westley with her to the party tonight. She was certain that all eyes would be on him.

Now she regretted. She should have asked Mia earlier about the crowd.

The Robinson family had a big business and an excellent reputation, and it was safe to assume that they were friends with many prominent families for generations. Even if the party was an exclusive one, there still would be many people there who knew Westley.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing the serious expression on Gabrielle's face, Westley looked at her with concern.

They were about to arrive at Micheal's villa. Seeing Gabrielle like that, Westley could not help feeling a little worried. If she was not feeling well, they should just turn around and go home. Westley was not interested in coming to Micheal's birthday party anyway. If it were not for Gabrielle, he would not have agreed to dress up and go.

"I'm just wondering who Micheal's guests are tonight. When we get there, I'll go check inside first. If there's..."

"Don't worry. I don't mind them finding out that you're my wife." Westley had been considering to make his relationship with Gabrielle public for some time now.

He did not reject what was going on between them on purpose. In fact, he wanted to make it known but as gradually as he could. It was just that Gabrielle did not seem to want the same thing.

"What are you talking about? Our relationship can't be made public," Gabrielle protested.

"You said before that you didn't want anyone to know about us," she pressed, reminding Westley that he was the one who did not want the world to know about the two of them.

Westley really regretted being so tough on Gabrielle about their relationship being a guarded secret.

At that time, there was still a trace of resentment and disgust in his heart toward her. He only took her as a scapegoat for Bryce.

Their relationship then was not real, so there was no point making it public. Besides, Westley was adamant to wait for Nellie then to replace Gabrielle, and then everything would be all right.

Unless Westley announced that he and Gabrielle were together, no soul would know that Nellie had been out of the picture for a long time.

There was no longer a place for Nellie in Westley's heart. All he wanted now was to be with Gabrielle and live a good life with her.

Westley totally shot himself in the foot. He really regretted the decisions he had made then.

"Gabrielle, if I say our relationship can be made public..."

"Red light, Westley. Look out. Eyes on the road, please," Gabrielle interrupted him and reminded him to focus on driving.

Hearing this, Westley stopped the car.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Westley tried his best to hold back his anger and talked to her patiently.

Gabrielle looked into his eyes again and again. "No, I didn't. You're driving. This isn't the right time for us to talk about serious stuff. Let's talk when we get home."

"Very well," Westley agreed. He thought Gabrielle was right. They were in the m

iddle of the road, and he had no business being sidelined by a conversation that should be had at home. Otherwise, they could meet an accident, and no serious talk would ever take place.

When they got home, they could talk about the status of their relationship.

Westley just could not help bringing it up.
