Gabrielle felt so drained after returning to the villa that she slumped her body on the sofa, not wanting to move a single limb.
"Gabrielle, what's the matter? Are you tired?" Westley, who was watching Gabrielle's whole behavior, sat down beside her and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I'm very tired. I feel like all my energy has run out," Gabrielle murmured as she leaned even more against the sofa, still unwilling to move. At the moment, she wished she could stick to the sofa forever.
While she was still drifting in her thoughts, a warm embrace reached out to her, and the next thing she knew, she was on Westley's laps, embracing her in a tight hug quietly.
"Gabrielle, it will all be over soon. Thank you for these days. Believe me, everything will be fine soon. I've arranged everything. We'll go back to Antawood in a couple of days." Westley spoke to Gabrielle in a serious tone. Although he felt a sense of helplessness deep down in his heart, he didn't show it as he didn't want to make Gabrielle worry too much.
"Really? Will everything be fine?" leaning her head on Westley's shoulder, Gabrielle murmured. Because of the series of events that had occurred until now, she had no more expectations and had already given up hope of living a peaceful life.
After all, she had experienced a lot of things here, and she had grown a lot.
Her only expectation right now was to be safe and sound.
"It will be fine. I'll take you back to the room to have a rest. And then shall we go out to have lunch?" As he patted her on the back, Westley asked.
"No, just hold me like this. Let's just stay like this for a few minutes. It will be like recharging my energy." Gabrielle wrapped her arms around Westley's neck as she didn't show a slight intent to let him go.
Westley was so happy by Gabrielle's action, and he enjoyed every second of this moment.
"You want to recharge your energy? I have a more efficient method. Do you want to try it?" Westley put his hands around her waist and asked seriously.
Gabrielle had a guess in her heart when she heard this. Yet she didn't say it out loud and instead looked at Westley with a set of curious eyes as if she didn't understand what he said.
"What? What can be so effective?" Gabrielle put her hands on Westley's shoulders and asked playfully.
"I will show you now." As soon as those words left his mouth, Westley lowered his head and locked their lips.
Gabrielle, who had correctly foreseen this moment, responded to his kiss passionately without hesitation.
Just like that, the two of them kissed passionately on the sofa, thinking that no one was around. The scene was romantic and warm until it was interrupted by a sound of exclamation.
"Wow, I just got up and saw this? I guess it's true what they say about not to live under the same roof with a couple, or else you'll witness a lot of public displays of affection and showing-off of their love."
Although Michelle said so, she was not jealous in the least. On the contrary, she was happy to see Gabrielle and Westley being so happy together.
She would be happy as long as she could see that their marriage was truly blissful.
However, she was still surprised to see how her cold and heartless cousin acted differently and changed into an entirely different person after marriage and how he spoiled his wife.
It was very obvious that he was obsessed with his wife. As a result of witnessing this, Michelle's standard of love became higher, making it difficult for her to find a boyfr
iend in the future. Both of her two cousins were such excellent husband material. She felt that if she kept their standards in mind, she would inevitably end up comparing the men she met in the future to the two of them.
"Michelle... We are sorry." As soon as Gabrielle saw the presence of Michelle, she jumped out in shock, and her face immediately turned red.
