'His princess.'
She was moved by the way he called her. It was sweet and flirty.
Romantic, even.
Westley was so good at flirting with her. Even though the words were very common, they became so special when Westley spoke them.
"Westley, can we go back before the national holiday? There are still a few days left before that." Gabrielle looked at the sky feeling worried for no reason, especially after speaking with Lance.
She would only have peace of mind if she knew he was safe.
Was it wrong? If she had known earlier, she would have contacted him after returning to Antawood.
"Of course, we can. This is the first time you'll spend the holiday with the Morris family. Everyone will be there." Westley kissed the top of her head.
"Thank you."
"Don't worry. I've arranged everything. After tomorrow, we'll buy gifts, then we'll take the private plane back the next day. Everything will be fine." Westley sensed her agitation and tried to comfort her.
"That's good. I can always count on you." Gabrielle didn't want to make him worry about her.
Westley went silent for a while. He just held her in his arms and enjoyed the night with her peacefully.
The two hugged each other quietly. After a while, Westley felt that she was calmer and decided to continue talking.
"Gabrielle, if you have something on your mind, you must communicate with me. We are a couple. I'm always here to listen and support you. It will help us live a happy life and not have any misunderstandings," Westley softly said, putting his head on Gabrielle's shoulder. His voice was so gentle that it reached her heart.
"Westley, I've talked to Lance... He told me about the situation in Antawood. The Jones family and the Collins family are waiting for us to go back. I'm afraid there will be trouble." After hesitating for a long time, Gabrielle finally told him what happened.
Lance said this for the sake of their safety.
"You don't have to be worried. If the Jones family and the Collins family would do something, they would've done so in Bangkok in the first place." Westley tried to calm her. After all, he had always been in touch with Alvin. He knew everything about what was happening in Antawood.
After knowing that the Jones family and the Collins family had been in frequent contact recently, he had roughly guessed what the two families were plotting. Although they had been enemies before, once they had a common enemy and interest, they would automatically cooperate.
It was human nature.
"I just hope nothing bad will happen. It's always making me feel anxious," Gabrielle said softly.
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you. No one can destroy our relationship." Westley gently pulled her so she could face him.
"As long as I'm here, I'll never allow anything to happen to you, Gabrielle. I don't care what the Jones family and the Collins family are up to, but if they push me too hard, don't expect me to be nice. Please don't think I'm cruel or heartless when that comes, because I can do anything for you," Westley added, staring into her eyes.
He woul
d become a bad guy for Gabrielle's sake.
"Oh, Westley... don't say that. I don't want you to be a bad person because of me. Even though I'm worried, I believe you're going to handle this just fine," Gabrielle answered calmly and threw herself into his arms.
Westley would always put her mind at ease. As long as he was with her, she could rely on him and worry about nothing.
"Silly girl, I'm here. How can I let you worry? I'll make sure I won't disappoint you." Westley held her tighter and gently rubbed her back.
