When Gabrielle got out of the bathroom after a while, Westley was on a phone call outside the balcony of the room. Judging by the way his body was tense, she knew that it wasn't a pleasant call.
As the two of them had been together for a long time, they could tell whether each other was happy or not even if she could see only his back sight.
All of a sudden, Westley shouted, "Gabrielle is my wife! You don't need to worry about her safety!"
His tone was really bad and clearly it had something to do with her, so she walked over to him subconsciously.
When she got next to Westley, Gabrielle put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his back while saying, "Who is it, Westley?"
Even though Gabrielle said in a low voice, the person on the other end of the line heard it.
"Westley, I heard Gabrielle's voice. Pass the phone to her. I need to tell her something!" As Austin's voice was loud, it could be heard even over the phone.
Only then did Gabrielle know who was on the other end of the phone.
Letting go of Westley, Gabrielle asked, "Austin... Is that Austin?"
In fact, there was no need to question because she heard Austin's voice clearly.
Although Westley didn't want Gabrielle to answer his phone, he thought he should ask for her opinion now that she had heard Austin's voice. Therefore, he said, "Yes. Do you want to talk to him?"
Reaching her hand out in front of Westley, Gabrielle said, "Yes, I do. I've something to talk to him too."
Unwillingly, Westley handed his phone to Gabrielle. Then, he said, "Don't talk to him for too long."
Hearing it, Gabrielle burst into laughter. When did Westley become so petty?
It was needless to say that he was jealous...
With a smile on her face, she said, "Okay. I'll hang up the phone once I finish the conversation with him. It won't be long." Of course, Gabrielle could never cheat on him.
However, she didn't mind if Westley was jealous because he loved her so much.
"Alright, I'll go downstairs and prepare some delicious food for you. Come downstairs when you finish, okay?" No matter how much Westley didn't want his wife to answer Austin's phone call, he knew for a fact that Gabrielle only loved her husband. Therefore, she would never be interested in other men which made him very happy.
Giving him a smile, Gabrielle answered, "Okay. You should go ahead. I'll come down once I finish."
Feeling satisfied, Westley leaned over and deliberately gave her a big loud kiss on the corner of her mouth for Austin to hear.
As the sound was so loud and the phone was placed near his ear, it was impossible for Austin not to hear.
Even though he had accepted the fact that Gabrielle was married to Westley and became his cousin-in-law, Austin still felt that Westley wasn't good enough for Gabrielle.
In his eyes, someone as bad as Westley didn't deserve someone as kind and lovely as Gabrielle.
Well, the fact was one thing, and accepting the fact was another thing.
Moreover, to irritate Austin, Westley said something more. "Gabrielle, don't talk too long. You just got up and you were tired last night. Come downstairs to eat something."
Obviously, Austin heard everything that Westley said. He got so angry that he wanted to throw his phone across the room.
