Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 116 First Peaceful Dinner

The environment was calm since it was late in the night. Westley had just returned and his wife, Gabrielle was shocked and a bit happy that he came back to Half Moon Bay tonight. She swallowed hard and looked at him fearfully.

“No, Mr. Morris. I don’t mean to blame you. I know that you’re very busy, I can understand that. It’s nice for you to come back home. You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Let me warm up the food for you. It’s cold already.” u

She stood up, but all of a sudden, she felt dizzy and almost fainted because she had been sleeping for too long before Westley came in. If he hadn’t held her in time, she would have fallen. D

He held her by the waist tightly and made her lean on his hairy chest. 5

There was a faint fragrance that oozed from her body. Immediately she threw herself into his arms, it rushed quickly into his nostrils, which made him a bit startled.

“Ah, thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Morris…” she said as she quickly got out of his arms. She didn’t want to annoy this boss again.

“There is no need to warm up the food. I already had dinner before coming back,” he said coldly. 1

She lowered her head in silence with an unhappy countenance. As she lifted her head to look at him, her eyes which were once bright became full of

resentment. “Okay, Mr. Morris. It’s all right. You can go back to your room and rest well. I’m going to clean it up.”

“If he didn’t come back for dinner, why is he here right now? Wouldn’t it have been better if he went back to his residence in the Vineyard Villa?’ she asked herself angrily.

Even though she was angry, she didn’t have the guts to pour out her anger on him. She wasn’t ready to die anytime soon and so, she had to tread with caution.

“I’m sure you hate me so much right now,” he said when he saw how her face looked. He knew that she was upset

“What right do I have to hate you? I was the one who decided to cook for you tonight. I didn’t even expect that you’d come back.” She looked at him and tried to smile.

Instead, her expression showed that she was a little bitter and aggrieved, especially when she bit her lips hard. It seemed like he had done something heinous and unpardonable.
