Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 439

Gabrielle had known Westley well enough to have a good grasp on him. Without even looking, she could detect his presence once he got close to her.

Therefore, even right now, figuring out who was hugging her from behind was not a hard process. She could tell who it was without even looking back.

It was just that she didn't understand why Westley had come out so soon. He should still be in the barbecue restaurant.

"Westley, why are you here?" Gabrielle asked, a sense of guilt still lingering in her heart.

She sneaked out to buy a gift, yet she still got caught. But luckily, she had already put the gift in her bag, so Westley couldn't see it.

Additionally, her encounter with Austin was purely a coincidence. If Westley didn't believe her, it might cause a misunderstanding between her and Westley, leading him to think she was secretly seeing Austin.

Thinking of this, the guilt in her heart grew even worse.

"If I didn't come out, my wife would have gone somewhere. I thought you were lost. It turns out you went shopping. What did you buy?" Westley rubbed her head and spoke very earnestly.

There was no sign of anger or jealousy, which made Gabrielle feel a little relieved.

"I... I just want to go out and buy milk tea. Barbecue and milk tea are a perfect match. I haven't found my favorite milk tea shop yet, and I came across Austin." Gabrielle hurriedly gave out an explanation.

Even though Westley didn't look angry or jealous now, Gabrielle was willing to explain to him and didn't want him to have any misunderstandings.

After all, honesty and trust were what kept a couple's relationship stable and strong. Those were the foundations that held the connection alive. Without those, the built relationship could easily go wrong.

Gabrielle was well aware that Westley really didn't like Austin, let alone seeing him with her.

So, she felt that it would be better to take the opportunity to explain first.

"Let's go. I'll accompany you to buy milk tea." As he said, Westley naturally held Gabrielle's hand.

Gabrielle subconsciously tried to avoid his action and reminded him, "No. Many people are watching."

They were on a commercial street, so there were many people coming and going.

"It's very dark. No one will pay attention to us," Westley responded since he knew what Gabrielle meant. Instead of letting go of her hand, he gripped it even tighter the next second.

Gabrielle looked up at the sky as she heard that. Unlike his claim, it was very bright that everyone could see his face clearly.

It just proved that the words Westley spoke were all false. At that moment, Mia rushed over and held Gabrielle in her arms right in front of Westley's face.

"Gabrielle, it's really you," Mia shouted happily.

"You didn't know it was me until you hugged me? What if you really hugged the wrong person?" Gabrielle said as she looked at Mia helplessly.

'This girl is always carefree,' she thought to herself. Anyway, she understood it was pointless to be worried about her.

"It doesn't matter. We are all girls. It doesn't matter even if we hug each other," Mia said casually.

"Hi, Mr. Morris, Mr. Foster." Mia waved at the two men next to Gabrielle.

"What are you three doing standing here? Are you shopping? Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you. I haven't had dinner yet." Mia did all the talking and warmly invited the three of them.

Gabrielle cast an uneasy glance at Westley. She knew that the two of them had already agreed to have dinner together. But now, not only did they come across Austin, but Mia was also inviting them.
