Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 735

 

Chapter 735 It Was Actually Embarrassing

 

What people strive to achieve is altogether different from what reality tries to teach them.

 

Gabrielle found this to be true when she was learning how to ski. It looked easy to do but all she had been doing was tumble and

 

fall. It was a good thing that Westley was very patient in teaching her to stand and balance on skis. He would take her to a

 

nearby easy slope where she could try and practice skiing.

 

Skiing was not as easy as roller skating or ice skating. It was more challenging.

 

"Westley, let's take a rest," Gabrielle said, panting and sweating under her heavy suit. "I'm exhausted. Let me catch my breath for

 

a while."

 

Alexis and the others had returned from their skiing. They felt sorry for Gabrielle, seeing that she was still practicing on this safe

 

slope. , . .

 

“Gabrielle, you may be ready to join us on the downhill slope. Don't be scared to stumble and fall. All new skiers do. You'll leam

 

faster that way,” Alexis said with a cheery smile. "The snow is thick. Besides, your ski suit will cushion your fall when you land

 

on your back and your helmet will protect your head." I

 

Gabrielle nodded thoughtfully as she listened to Alexis.

 

She had been on the easy slope for a long time, skiing with children of seven or eight years old. She found this embarrassing.

 

She would rather fall and roll down the mountain slope than continue skiing on the easy slope with the children. /

 

Surrounded by the children, Gabrielle felt she was one of them. It was like swimming in the children's pool and she was the only

 

adult among the others.

 

She blushed, embarrassed by this thought.

 

“Gabrielle, every beginner falls on skis. It is like when you are new to biking. You will fall a few times before you get the hang of it. When you're learning to swim, you'll sometimes get to swallow water. The same is true with skiing. Falling is an inevitable right of passage," Alexis said to further encourage Gabrielle.

 

Westley picked some snow and packed them together to make a snowball, which he threw directly at Alexis’ face.

 

He knew that Alexis was trouble.

 

Gabrielle had been practicing quite well on this easy and gentle slope. And here was Alexis encouraging her to go to a steep slope where she might fall and hurt herself. 

 

“Westley! What the hell are you doing?" Alexis almost fell to the ground when he was hit hard by the snowball.

 

Westley was gentle only towards Gabrielle. With other people, he showed no mercy. They were nothing but punch bags for him when he was enraged.

 

“You're asking me what the hell am I doing? This is Gabrielle's first time going to a ski resort. She's just learning to ski. And here

 

you are, encouraging her to ski down from such a high place and telling her that it is okay to trip a few times. If that is not a big deal for you, why don't you roll down from the top of the mountain? Then, tell me if that is okay or not!" hissed Westley. It was

 

very cold in the ski resort but it didn't do anything to subdue his anger. He was so angry like a raging bull.

 

Alexis realized it was him who had enraged Westley. He ran away as fast as he could. He got scared by Westley's darkened face.

 

Westley might skin him if he stayed a minute longer. He knew that Westley could be a beast when he was enraged. The snowball was just a gentle nudge. It could have been a huge rock had he lingered longer.

 

“Westley, Alexis may be right. I've been practicing on the easy slope. Maybe I'm ready to ski on the mountain. Will you let me try it?" said Gabrielle in a pleading tone, looking at Westley like a spoiled child.
