Gabrielle felt a ting of excitement. She wanted to bring out the mischievous side of her by scheming against
someone. But there was nowhere to use it. Now that Holly arrived, she could bring that side out too!
"Gabrielle, just don't go too far. Be careful!" Westley reminded her. He could feel her excitement. Was she going to
use this opportunity to show her acting skills?
Gabrielle was surprised to hear that. She wondered if Westley could see the evil thoughts lurking in her mind.
The smirk on Gabrielle's face was enough to know that it was Holly's bad time. She was really unlucky to meet
Gabrielle here.
“Okay! I'll be careful. After all, I'm not a well behaved person. So, I'm afraid that I might end up frightening Holly!"
Gabrielle grinned wickedly as she walked towards the door.
Holly was waiting outside the door. She expected to see Westley. But when the door opened, she saw Gabrielle
standing in front of her. Her face immediately darkened
"Happy holiday, Miss Edwards! Such a pleasant surprise. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Gabrielle
greeted her with a broad smile. On the other hand, Holly was distraught to see Gabrielle and was extremely
disappointed. It was funny to see the two women with contrasting expressions.
Holly came there for Westley. But on seeing Gabrielle, all her joy and excitement vanished instantly.
“Hello, Miss Jones! Happy holiday to you too!” It did not matter how disappointed Holly was, she had to hide her
emotions. She could only greet Gabrielle politely.
She hated it when she saw Gabrielle standing before her.
Holly had come all the way here to see Westley, not to see Gabrielle.
“Where is Westley?" Holly asked, in a blatant manner
The corners of Gabrielle's mouth curved up into a small smile. She met Holly's gaze with a relaxed look on her face.
Holly was wearing a beige long windbreaker, with a black low-neck dress inside. Surely, it had been worn specially
for Westley. If she took off the beige windbreaker, Gabrielle was sure it was a long sexy dress. It would make Holly
look beautiful and charming. rT
Gabrielle wondered if Holly would feel cold or not dressing like that. Gabrielle was wearing a high-necked white
sweater. It was just like Westley's, like the ones usually found in romantic couples.
It was beautiful and kept her warm. - -
“Well, Miss Edwards, my husband is sleeping. Actually, last night we went to bed too late. He was feeling so tired
that he fell asleep moments ago, while he was with me." Gabrielle emphasized on the last part of the sentence, with
a grin on her face a '
There was not much to guess. Holly would know what a couple was doing, if they weren't sleeping at night!
Gabrielle hoped Holly got the idea, and she wouldn't have to explain things more clearly.
AS a grown-up, Holly knew what Gabrielle was hinting at. It made her furious. She didn't want to know the details
of what they were doing last night.
Holly couldn't help but smile with embarrassment. She incucht Gabrielle was behaving like an uneducated person.
Who could blame her? After all, she was an adopted child
"Miss Jones..."
"Miss Edwards, I'd suggest that you call me Mrs. Morris. Probably you have a bad memory. So, I'm reminding you again that I'm Westley's wife. I'd prefer that you call me as Mrs. Morris!" Gabrielle smiled innocently.
But Holly could see that it was a fake smile. Rather, it was a devilish one. She realized that Gabrielle was not an easy person to deal with.
‘Is she serious? Call her Mrs. Morris?’
Holly was not willing to call her that. She'd never do that!
“How long has Westley been sleeping? I want to talk to him bout something important," Holly asked anxiously. She
dodged Gabrielle's words and pretended as if she hadn't heard that.
"It hasn't been long, but if I wake him up now, he will be very angry. Miss Edwards, I don't want to see my husband
frustrated and upset. If it's something important, you can tell me now. When my husband wakes up, I will convey it
