Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 440

The arrogance on Mia's proud face made Austin want to teach her a lesson.

He had never come across a woman quite as annoying as her. She even dared to meddle with his business.

Austin hated this self-righteous woman with all his heart.

"It's none of my business. I have no right to get in the middle of it." The corners of Mia's lips lifted up into a wicked grin as she raised her eyebrows.

Her smile frightened Austin to the core.

He had always adored Gabrielle's smile. She donned the most gentle smile he had ever laid his eyes on. No matter how unhappy he felt, her smile never failed to bring him joy.

However, with Mia, all he felt was utter disgust.

He wondered how a woman as annoying as Mia ended up existing in this world. To make things worse, she was one of Gabrielle's friends. He was worried that one day, Mia would poison Gabrielle's mind.

"Well then… Just like what you told me, you better leave me alone." Austin threw Mia a cold stare.

"Do you really think I'd want to get involved with your business? I'm not wasting my precious time for that. However, if you dare to destroy Gabrielle's happiness, I will do everything in my power to stop you from doing so. I'm leaving. If you still want barbecue, you're free to come follow me." Mia left Austin without casting another glance at him.

Austin badly wanted to scream profanities at her receding figure. He couldn't believe that she left with her arrogant attitude intact.

'Why the fuck is she so annoying?!'

It was his first time meeting a woman like her. Austin was enlightened.

His new-found knowledge taught him that there were not only gentle and thoughtful women in the world. Infuriating ones also existed.

He would never settle for a woman like Mia. In his eyes, she was utterly horrible. Austin was afraid that she would be the death of him.

Austin did not want to be in her presence. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help himself from blurting out nasty words towards Mia. After all, she was exceptional when it came to pissing him off.

However, he could not let the opportunity of seeing Gabrielle slide through his fingers. Finally, he decided to walk to the restaurant.

Gabrielle chose a milk tea shop that wasn't too crowded. After ordering some drinks, she found an empty corner and sat down with Westley. Every once in a while, she would uneasily glance at Westley.

"If you want to stare at your husband, just do it. Every inch of my body belongs to you," Westley said when he saw how his wife was looking at him.

Gabrielle couldn't help the smile from escaping her lips. "Of course, my husband. Every inch of him belongs to me."

Westley rubbed her head with utmost gentleness. "You don't have to be so wary. You can stare at me whenever you want."

"My love, aren't you upset?" Gabrielle asked as she held his hand.

"Why would I be angry? Do you think I'm that petty?" The tone of Westley's voice was full of amusement.

Although their date was so rudely interrupted by Austin and Mia, he was relieved that Gabrielle had a loyal friend like Mia. Her company was welcome to the dining table. Besides, he had a lot of time to be with Gabrielle.

His jealousy was unnecessary.

"Of course not! You're absolutely generous and authoritative. I could never accuse you of being petty. I think of you as the most giving man in the world!" Gabrielle exclaimed as she threw him a flattering smile.
