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?

“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.
