Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 35 In His Arms

When Miley was young, she accompanied her husband to his business meetings and various social engagements. She did this mostly so she could drink.

Very few people knew she was a heavy drinker.

Thus, at her persuasion, Westley and Gabrielle drank a lot. They also ate the nutritional soup made especially for them. Soon, the both of them were too full to keep

going

“Grandma, I can’t drink anymore. I’m so drunk. It feels like my face is burning,” Gabrielle put down her glass.

Westley’s wine was very tasty. When she first began to drink it, she felt nothing. The more of it she drank though, the more she wanted. Soon enough, she was completely drunk.

“Well, Gabrielle, then don’t drink anymore. Why don’t you have some more soup? It’s good for your health.” Miley immediately served another bowl of soup to Gabrielle.

“Come on, Westley. Here’s more for you too.” Miley placed a bowl in front of him.

Although it looked and tasted good, Westley

didn’t want anymore. The soup smelled faintly of Chinese medicine, which Westley hated.

Westley took a look at Gabrielle, thinking, She really loves this soup. This must be her third bowl.

Has she had too much?

Even if she wants to make a good impression in front of Miley, she doesn’t have to torture herself like this.

“Grandma, one bowl is enough for me. I can’t take another bowl.” Westley said.
