Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 377

If Helena were the one others forbade to talk about, then mentioning Nellie would certainly get on Westley's nerves.

Those two sisters of the Collins family were a touchy subject in front of Westley, as well as the Morris family.

So when Gabrielle mentioned Nellie, both Bonnie and Miley were visibly displeased about it, for they were worried about Westley.

Within a matter of seconds, the room became awkward.

Gabrielle immediately realized that she had said something insensitive.

She knew about Westley's relationship with Nellie, and she still blurted out the woman's name like an idiot. If Liana were still inside the house instead of the garden, she probably would've scolded Gabrielle already.

'Ugh! I'm so stupid!' she thought to herself.

"Westley, I, uh… I'm sorry."

"My love, there's no need to apologize. Don't be silly," Westley uttered in a serious tone of voice.

When Gabrielle looked him in the eye, she couldn't read his expression. 'Is he mad?' she wondered.

"Westley, I never meant to bring her up. I just blurted it out by accident. If you're unhappy about it, I can make it up to you. Just ask anything of me," she said.

The moment Westley heard her say that, a smirk was painted on his lips, and his eyes were filled with all sorts of wicked ideas.

"Alright, Gabrielle. I'll keep that in mind. You owe me one. For now, I'll think of a request, okay?" he asked, as if this matter was negotiable.

Bonnie knew what he was implying. It was obvious that he was having some dirty thoughts about Gabrielle right now.

But this was also a part of their fun marital life, so she decided not to interfere with it.

"Sure. Take your time. Once you have something in mind, you can ask me for it." Gabrielle was still unaware of what he was thinking. She just thought that he would make a simple request.

Compared to Westley, she was far too naïve.

"I'll think about it," he answered with an impish grin.

For some reason, he looked incredibly nonchalant about this.

But in reality, he had already begun scheming.

After they finished the tea, Miley hoped they could all stay here for the night. However, Westley had to decline the kind offer. He then hurried back to Half Moon Bay along with Gabrielle.

As soon as he got off the car, he carried her upstairs, closed the door, and threw her onto the bed.

Gabrielle bounced two times, staring at him with bewildered eyes. "Westley, what are you planning to do?"

'What is wrong with this man? He's been acting weird since we finished the tea! Tammy was hoping to play with me after that, but Westley turned the little girl down by carrying her to Bonnie. Aside from that, he even refused Miley's offer to let us stay the night, and then he took me back home!' Gabrielle thought.

He sped up all the way back to the house, causing Gabrielle to feel worried.

"Gabrielle, didn't you say that you'd promise to do me one request?" Westley half-bent onto the bed, looking down at her with a malicious gaze.

The way he was staring at her made Gabrielle feel uneasy.

Somehow, his behavior was scaring her.

"Yes, I did promise you that. Have you made up your mind?" Gabrielle swallowed her own saliva.

Just staring at him like this was terrifying enough, and it was difficult to maintain eye contact.

She was now regretting the promise she made.

"I have, Gabrielle," Westley uttered in a soft voice.

Gabrielle's heart was overcome with regret. 'Is it too late to call this off?' she wondered.
