Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 66

Gabrielle walked up to him and asked, "Why are you here, Westley?"

"Waiting for you. I see you have become a celebrity now. Covering up yourself like that." He was clearly mocking Gabrielle.

"Westley, there are wounds on her face." Austin stood up to him calmly.

The last thing Gabrielle needed was Austin standing up for her as this would only make Westley angrier.

"I don't need you to tell me about that. Didn't I remind you not to be so intimate with her? Gabrielle is my wife and your elder sister-in-law. People might have the wrong idea." Westley stared straight at Austin, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Sensing that an argument was about to start between the two, Gabrielle quickly pulled Austin away.

"Austin, thank you for all your help today. You can go on ahead. Westley and I have to talk about some other personal matters." In reality, the mere thought of having a talk with Westley made Gabrielle uncomfortable. She just used it as an excuse for Austin to leave.

"Gabrielle, you know I can drive you home."

Austin insisted. He didn't want to leave her with Westley.

Hearing what he said, Westley sneered at him. "Don't you understand what she said? You were told to leave. I'm her husband. There is no one else more fitting to send her back."

"Well, Austin, I'll see you again soon." Gabrielle urged him to leave. She was only trying to protect Austin. Things would really get out of hand if he continued to get on Westley's nerves. Westley could be a very dangerous man when angry.

Whether the one was Westley's younger or elder cousin, it wouldn't matter to him anyway.

"Austin, I don't care if we don't see eye to eye. But I wouldn't want to ruin the relationship between the Morris and the Foster all because of your actions. I don't think your mother wants to see it either," Westley threatened him coldly.

Austin fell in silence. He knew the weight of Westley's words. The Foster had relied on the Morris for many years, and Austin's mother didn't want to see any conflict between him and Westley.

Westley could ignore Austin's mother, but Austin couldn't disrespect his own mom.

"Gabrielle, it's time for us to go." Westley grinned in victory after seeing Austin's face. He felt elated as he strode towards his car, beckoning Gabrielle to follow him.

"Goodbye Austin. Thank you for what you did today." After a moment of hesitation, Gabrielle finally walked towards Westley.

As soon as Gabrielle turned her back on him, Austin knew that he couldn't take her away from Westley. He felt entirely helpless as he punched the stone wall with his fist.

Gabrielle felt uneasy upon entering Westley's car. She held the seat belt tightly and looked nervous.

It was obvious to her that Westley was in no mood to talk. He immediately started the car and sped away.

"Westley... It wasn't a dinner date or anything like that. Austin accompanied me to see Estelle today and helped me vent my anger, so I invited him for a quick meal. " Gabrielle felt it was necessary to explain the situation to Westley just in case the misunderstanding between him and Austin would get worse.

Gabrielle continued to reason with him, but Westley didn't say anything.

"Westley, I hope you won't ponder much of my relationship with Austin. It's clearly not what you believe..."

"What should I think?" Westley asked in a cold tone.

"Well ... Austin and I are just friends, nothing more than that," Gabrielle said truthfully.

"You may see it this way, but it doesn't mean others will think the same." Westley thought that Gabrielle was really good at playing dumb.

"Westley, what do you mean by that?" Gabrielle really didn't understand what Westley meant, but she knew for certain that

he had put a wrong interpretation on the relationship between Austin and her.
