Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Lousy Brothers

Gabrielle was shocked when she was thrown backward. Startled, she immediately fastened her seat belt tightly and looked at Westley with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

 

Westley noticed that look in her eyes, but he didn’t take it seriously. In his heart, he felt a little happy. He said those words to let her know that she should not do anything to annoy him. Otherwise, he would make her even unhappier.

 

Gabrielle understood his silent warning.

 

She felt a sharp pain in her heel, but she didn’t want to speak.

 

“Gabrielle, if you really have any complaints about me, just say it. Don’t act as if I have wronged you. If you don’t want to ride in my car, you are free to get out now,” Westley snapped. He really disliked seeing her looking restless and fidgeting.

 

“I… my feet hurt.” Gabrielle was frightened by his fierce words, but she plucked up all her courage to tell him the reason.

 

She was actually a brave woman who could even watch horror movies and visit horror towns alone. But every time she was in front of him, she got so scared that she couldn’t help but shiver.

 

Upon hearing what she said, Westley’s expression softened. She was hurt because she wore a pair of shoes smaller than her size. Perhaps he was a little guilty, so he became less cold and arrogant.

 

His phone suddenly rang. When he saw that it was his assistant Alvin, he immediately answered it through his Bluetooth headphones.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“Mr. Morris, the commerce minister wants to talk to you.”

 

“Tell him that I’ll call him back in twenty minutes.” He then hung up the phone and parked his car at the roadside.

 

“I have something to deal with in the company, so take a taxi home.” Westley drove Gabrielle out of the car without hesitation.

 

Gabrielle was a person with high self-esteem, and she never expected him to be kind to her. So she pushed the door open and got out of the car without saying anything.

 

She then slammed the car door as if secretly venting her dissatisfaction.

 

Westley just glanced at her indifferently then started the car.

 

He had already driven away when she realized that she was in a horrible place. He drove so fast just now that she didn’t notice which road he took.

 

It turned out that she was in the middle of nowhere where cars and taxis seldom passed by. There was even no bus station nearby.

 

She tried to book a taxi using her mobile phone, but it wouldn’t get through. Left with no choice, she called her friend, Sloane Gray.

 

As soon as she hung up, the heavy rain suddenly poured down. She was completely caught off guard as she didn’t expect it. Panic-stricken, she looked around to find a place to hide. Finally, she found a tree with dense leaves, so she ran towards it. But when Sloane arrived, she was still soaking wet.

 

“Gabrielle, get in the car!” Sloane immediately pushed the car door open when she saw Gabrielle shivering under the tree.

 

Gabrielle ran towards the car as fast as she could and got in.

 

“What happened? What are you doing in this place? Don’t you know that you can’t get a taxi here? Wipe yourself.” Sloane tossed a towel at her.

 

“Well… It’s a long story. I’ll tell you everything later,” Gabrielle replied while wiping her face with the towel.

 

“Okay. I’ll take you home, so you can take a hot shower first. Look at your lips. They have turned purple. I’m afraid you will catch a cold later.” Sloane drove at a faster speed to reach her apartment quickly.
