Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 771

 

The butler arrived with two other servants in tow. Each was carrying a big box, which it turned out was for the two of them.

Westley, however, was surprised to see two boxes of his stuff.

 

“Something is wrong here. We didn't ask for so many things," said Westley, his eyebrows knitted.

 

"Mr. Morris, one of the boxes contains your stuff. The other one has things you will need to dispel the outdoor cold. Mr. Schmidt

has asked us to prepare them for the two of you. And all your friends received theirs, too," the butler said summarily.

 

“It's a gift from Cowan?" Westley asked, feeling uncomfortable about Cowan giving them things. "When did he arrive here?"

They hadn't seen Cowan. He must have come back. Yet, he was not with the Schmidt family earlier that day.

 

It was odd for him to be giving them gifts, especially when he had just come back. It was an atypical gesture. He had no

particular reason to do that. 

 

“Mr. Schmidt didn't tell me his reasons," the butler answered honestly. "He had just arrived. He will have dinner with everyone.

Maybe he will tell you why he gave you these gifts, Mr. Morris. I'm sorry that I don't know much about it."

 

As a housekeeper, he was not privy to the inner thoughts of his master. . 

 

"That's okay. And thank you for bringing these boxes." Westley didn't ask any more questions. It was useless to pursue the topic.

He understood that the butler only knew so much and he had already told him that.

 

"Mr. Morris, Mrs. Morris, after you've changed your clothes, kindly go to the dining room to join the Schmidts for dinner," the

butler reminded them. . 

 

“We will," Gabrielle told the butler, smiling at him. “Thank you for reminding us."

 

“You're welcome, Mrs. Morris. We'll see you all later." The butler then left their room.

 

The butler had not left long when Alexis came to see them.

 

“Westley, did you get Cowan's gift?" he asked without a preamble. 

 

“Those gears that dispel outdoor cold?" -

 

Westley glanced at the carton the butler had placed on one side of the room. "Over there,” he answered Alexis. . 

The box contained all kinds of cold-weather gears—sweaters, jackets, ear muffs, balaclavas, scarves, safety glasses, wool socks,

heat-trapping footwear. Some of them were wom indoors; others, for outdoor. 

 

“Cowan is engaged in the business of warming cold-weather clothing. Maybe they are just souvenirs for us. Don't think too much

about it," said Jonas. He had a general idea of the business of the four young masters in the Schmidt family.

 

The Schmidt Group was a huge business managed by Cowan Schmidt, Sheldon Schmidt, Vernon Schmidt, and Travis Schmidt.

Cowan was the eldest. He was in charge of all kinds of things related to dispelling cold—from cold-weather clothing to large

heating equipment.

 

“Do you know of anyone who would give all these things for souvenirs?" Alexis said, shaking his head in disbelief. "I think this

Cowan is up to something malicious. I don't know but these gifts are kind of suspicious to me." Alexis had his reasons to think

otherwise of Cowan. He read a dossier about this man. As the eldest son of the Schmidt family, he had always been unpredictable

and ruthless in his dealings. He would take over the Schmidt Group and he would be even more powerful than Clifton and Chaz.
