Gabrielle tenderly looked at Westley and reached out to pull him closer.
"I had a very pleasant sleep last night. I was so tired, but after having a good rest, I'm all energetic now. You should have woken me up, though. We're expecting guests, right?" Gabrielle asked, fiddling with his fingers.
"You don't have to worry about it. It's the housekeeper's task to handle every year. We just need to show up on time this evening. Now, have some breakfast. It's more important than anything else." Westley led her to the dining room and sat her down, waiting for Sophie to bring her breakfast. He cared so much for her well-being.
Today's breakfast was a bowl of porridge, combined with a deliciously healthy sandwich.
This was Gabrielle's favorite. After she came back, Sophie would always make it for her. She always looked forward to having breakfast.
"What are your plans for today?" Westley asked, eyeing her.
"I'll go shopping with Macy and Lolita. I'm going to need new clothes for tonight." Gabrielle slowly slurped her porridge before answering.
"Last night, I was going to ask Lolita and Macy if they wanted to go with me, but they were both drunk so I wasn't able to.
I need to call them later. They're probably still passed out drunk from last night."
"Alright. You girls have a good time. Don't worry about funds, you are Mrs. Morris. You can get anything you want, I'll pay for it." Westley had already gotten her a credit card.
He wanted Gabrielle to have everything she desired. After all, his wife only deserved the best things in the world.
"I know, Mr. Morris. I am truly lucky to be your wife. I never have to worry about money. But let me warn you, I promise, I would buy everything I see today." Gabrielle giggled.
"That's my girl. I want you to spend my money. As your husband, it's my duty to make money for you to spend. Otherwise, what's the use of making all this money?" Westley chuckled.
Gabrielle's smile was brighter than ever. She was so lucky she married someone who truly loved her.
"Since you gave me the go sign, I'll be spending your money and buying anything that would catch my eye today," Gabrielle jokingly said.
"You should eat more. It's going be a long day, so you'll need enough energy. I know how tiring shopping is. Do you think you can handle it? You were exhausted yesterday," Westley asked worriedly.
Westley didn't want her to push herself so hard. He had been worried about her all day yesterday. She had been busy making sure the guests were comfortable and entertained and she was knocked out cold by the time she hit the bed.
And now she needed to go shopping, but if it were up to him, Westley would send someone else to do it for her.
Still, he thought Gabrielle would be happier to spend the day with her friends.
"It doesn't look like you're okay with this idea. Do you want
me to stay here instead?" Gabrielle noticed his reluctance.
"No... I just wanted to go with you," Westley confessed, eyes looking like a puppy's.
