Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 18 Gabrielle, Pull Off Shrimp Shell For Me

Gabrielle’s eyebrows ahot up in bewilderment, and her mouth was agape with pure astonishment. What did Westley mean by that?

What was he trying to insinuate by saying that she was hurrying to drive him away as soon as Lance got there? Wasn’t he the one who didn’t want to be with the Jones in the

first place?

“Westley, please follow me to the dining room.” Gabrielle stood up and looked at Westley in a dignified manner, but in his eyes, everything she did was hypocritical and pretentious.

Westley refrained from making any snide remarks as he stood up, but he still cast a cold glare at Gabrielle.
