Westley took Gabrielle to an Italian restaurant for lunch.
They went there a little late, so there were not many people in the whole restaurant.
Thus, they no longer asked for a private room and just picked a table near the window in the hall to sit.
The restaurant was on the third floor of the building in the central area of Bangkok. In addition, the street where the restaurant was located had an antique atmosphere to it as well as vibrant marketplaces. So, as they sat near the window, they could take in the lively scene on the street.
The scenery Gabrielle could see in front of her eyes was very much to her liking.
"Do you like the scenery?" When Westley, who was sitting across from Gabrielle, saw a bright smile on her face, he knew he had made the right decision.
"Yes, I like it. The view of the old block is very beautiful here. We should have come here earlier." Gabrielle liked it so much in her heat that she replied without any hesitation.
"Let's have lunch first. If you like it, we can come over next time." Westley brought her a piece of pizza first and then helped her cut the steak.
It was Gabrielle who asked for pizza, so Westley brought her over to this Italian restaurant.
"The pizza tastes good." Gabrielle nibbled into the slice, and her mouth was immediately flooded with the flavor of bacon, which was also one of her favorite flavors.
"If you like it, eat more. We'll go to the jewelry exhibition later, and they will prepare a dinner party, but I'm afraid you won't be full at all," Westley said as he knew very well about Gabrielle.
Although the food prepared for the banquet was exquisite, most people had no appetite. After all, everyone attended the banquet mainly not to eat but to socialize.
So basically, not many people really cared about what they ate.
"The jewelry exhibition will be held in the afternoon, and it won't last long. We will go back as soon as it's over. It won't take much time, and I won't be hungry for a while. If I'm too full now, my belly will bulge. It will look ugly then. After all, I'm wearing a slim dress," Gabrielle said as she lowered her head and looked down at her dress.
"If I had known it earlier, I would have prepared a loose-fitting dress for you that doesn't show off your waist. Your slender waist is now fully visible, and many men are going to drool over you." Westley spoke in a serious face.
Hearing this, Gabrielle busted out laughing. Looking at the grown man's serious expression, Gabrielle couldn't help but notice that the guy in front of her sometimes acted like a spoiled little boy and was extremely childish.
"No one would wear such a loose dress to a banquet. Besides, this is a jewelry exhibition. I can't be so disrespectful to such a high-end occasion."
Gabrielle couldn't help but give out a complaint.
Also, what she said was not just a mere complaint. If she really dressed like that, she wouldn't even have the face to go in, even if Ms. Glyn didn't scold her.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's eat first." Westley broke their chat short as he handed the cut steak to Gabrielle and then prepared to cut his own.
Just as he was about to slice the steak, his phone rang. He shifted his attention to the phone's screen, and when he saw that the caller ID was Austin, he felt a little reluctant to answer.
"Don't you answer it?" Gabrielle asked as she looked up at him.
"It's from Austin. I don't want to answer it," Westley said flatly with an indifferent expression.
However, as soon as Gabrielle learned the call was from Austin, she immediately snatched the phone over and made her move to answer the call. A loud voice interrupted her movement before her hand could touch the phone screen.
"Gabrielle!"
Westley became annoyed when he saw Gabrielle look so eager to answer Austin's call and shouted at her angrily.
"He must want to talk about the gift for grandma." Gabrielle made a shush gesture to Westley and then answered the phone.
"Hi, Austin." G
