He should be the only one who could live in her heart.
Even if they had children, he wouldn't tolerate them.
Gabrielle was stunned when she heard this. Not because Westley mentioned the children, but because he said he wouldn't lose to the children for her affection.
How could a man be so ridiculous?
"Westley, are you saying you're going to compete with the children? You're literally their father."
Gabrielle didn't know if she wanted to laugh or cry.
She had long known that men go dumb when they fall in love. But she never expected Westley to turn into one. He was so goofy now.
The fact was much worse than she expected.
"Of course I know I'm their father. Gabrielle, you should know that only when parents love each other will their children be very happy growing up. So, even if we have children in the future, we must be the ones who love each other the most. I'll always be the first person in your heart, understand?" Westley explained overbearingly.
But she knew he was right. The children whose parents loved each other would grow up in a loving home.
"Okay, you've made your point. I agree with you. No matter how cute the children are, you will always be the one I love most." Gabrielle guaranteed him.
Westley immediately smiled like a child.
"That's good." Before they could continue chatting, Westley's phone rang again. This time, it was from Alvin.
It must be related to the company's business, so he needed to answer the call.
"You've handed all the company affairs to Alvin, right? Is he going to be okay, Westley?" Gabrielle was worried Alvin couldn't handle the multiple tasks alone. After all, Westley was the biggest boss.
"Don't worry, Alvin is very capable. I'll answer the phone over there, so you stay and eat obediently." Westley stood up and kissed her on the forehead. Then he walked away, answering the call.
Gabrielle let him do his thing. She lowered her head and ate the beef that Westley had cut for her. He had always taken good care of her and surrounded her with lots of love.
He had given Gabrielle the best kind of love she could ever ask for.
This was the happiest point in her life. She didn't regret having been single for the last twenty years. It was worth it.
When Gabrielle turned her head to look out the window, she saw a buffed, tall man in black, wearing sunglasses. He must be a bodyguard.
She became curious. 'Who on earth is this person?
Is he Westley's subordinate or someone else's man?'
The man just stood there and stared in the direction of the restaurant for a long time. Then, he moved. Before Gabrielle could clearly see which direction he left, he had already disappeared.
It was so weird.
"What's wrong, Gabrielle?" Westley came back after answering the phone to see Gabrielle staring out the window. She didn't even notice him approaching. He followed Gabrielle's line of sight and there was nothing unusual. There were only people passing by.
"I... I was admiring the scenery. Are you done with your phone call?" Gabrielle acted normal when she faced Westley. She wanted to tell him what she had seen, but she was afraid she was only overthinking. It would just make Westley feel worried if she said anything.
"Yes. Let's eat. The food's getting cold." Westley cut another piece of pizza for her.
"You continue eating, I'm already full now. I'm wearing a dress for the jewelry exhibition, so it's best not to fill my tummy so much. I wouldn't want to look bloated." Gabrielle put the pizza on Westley's plate.
