Of course, it was needless to say that Westley wanted to know what Gabrielle had talked with Austin. However, he didn't want to ask more if she didn't want to talk to him about it. After all, he didn't want to invade her privacy.
In a serious voice, Westley said, "If I want to know, will you tell me?"
Raising her chin on purpose, Gabrielle said with a smug look on her face, "Nope, because it's a secret."
Obviously, this girl had learnt how to tease him now.
Without forcing her, Westley said, "Okay. Keep your secret and enjoy your meal." In fact, he no longer wanted their relationship to be affected by unnecessary people and things.
Pulling his arm, Gabrielle said in a coquettish voice, "Okay. Let's go out after breakfast. I'll tell you about my conversation with Austin."
Hearing it, Westley laughed happily. Resting his chin on one hand, he looked at his wife quietly. In his eyes, the more he looked at her, the more beautiful she became. Still staring at her, Westley said, "Okay, take your time eating. I'll take you out later. I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
Rolling her cute eyes, Gabrielle said, "Westley, can you stop staring at me like that? How am I supposed to eat when you're staring at me like that?" Of course, it wasn't easy to continue eating when someone was staring intensely at you.
With a smile, Westley said proudly, "You are so beautiful. I like staring at you like this. Just let me be."
In the end, Gabrielle decided to ignore him as she knew that he would tease her more if she kept talking to him.
If he wanted to stare, why not let him stare?
However, Gabrielle didn't expect that she would be so beautiful in Westley's heart.
For the first time in her life, she felt so lucky to have a beautiful face that could make Westley infatuated with her.
While eating, Gabrielle teased, "Westley, do you think you will be full without eating anything? Just by staring at my face like this?"
When Westley heard Gabrielle's question, he answered shamelessly, "Well, l will be in a good mood by staring at my beautiful wife."
At that time, Gabrielle asked him a narcissistic question which she had been wanting to know. "Tell me the truth, Westley. Did you insist on marrying me because of how I look?"
In fact, she wanted to know if Westley married her just to punish the Jones family.
She had always wanted to know whether Westley would still want to marry her if she was ugly, short and stupid.
Honestly, she had a feeling that he wouldn't marry her if she was anything like that.
No man would marry such kind of woman unless he was blind.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Westley asked, "Why do you ask that?" Westley had never thought that Gabrielle would ask him such kind of question. Therefore, he had never thought about an answer for it.
Giving him a smirk, Gabrielle said, "Nothing. I'm just curious. I mean we didn't know each other and we weren't in any sort of relationship. So, I just wanted to know if you would still marry me if I were ugly and stupid."
Of course, this was Gabrielle's way of thinking things. His wife was indeed unique.
Well, Westley had never imagined Gabrielle in that way. He couldn't connect his wife with those words like "ugly and stupid" at all!
Staring at his beautiful wife, Westley asked, "So...how do you want me to answer?"
With a challenging smile, Gabrielle countered, "What do you want to answer? Of course, I want you to tell me the truth. What else do you think?" While asking, Gabrielle suddenly wanted to know how Westley would answer this question.
Looking directly into his wife's eyes, Westley answe
red sincerely, "Actually, I would marry you, as long as it's you. No matter what happens, it won't change the fact that you are my wife and that I am your husband. You don't need to worry about it at all because we are destined to become a couple in the first place. So, no matter how the circumstances were, I'm sure we would still become a couple."
