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?

All she wanted to do was grant his wishes and her intentions had nothing to do with Lance.

Tt was plain to see that Westley had quite a. troublesome imagination. In his own twisted way, he would cut someone down to size because of his own insecurities and his own personal issues. 4

“Westley, I am appalled that you could even think of me in that way. Why do you have to get my Cousin involved in this? It is…”

“I promised Grandma that I would have lunch here, so I intend to keep that promise,”

Westley cut her short.

Gabrielle was at a loss and she decided to

swallow the rest of her words, realizing that it was futile to argue with this man.

Wendy led Lance and Mindy in, and the expressions on their two were complex.

“Westley. Gabrielle, it’s time for lunch.” Wendy cast a glance at Gabrielle, motioning her to take good care of this gentleman.

“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.
