Lock You In My Heart

Westley didn’t want to give in at all. It was as if he didn’t want Gabrielle to know more about the Campbell Family.

“Bonnie, Wilson won’t be here until later. How about we go to the coffee shop nearby and wait for him?” Gabrielle tried to lighten the atmosphere. Her smile was overly bright, and she was desperate to defuse the tension.

The friendly atmosphere became embarrassing and awkward because of Westley. Gabrielle bit her lip; it was getting unbearable.

“Okay, let’s go. I want to have a cup of coffee too. It will be more comfortable to sit down and chat.” Bonnie nodded, took Tammy’s hand in hers, and headed towards the café. The little girl bounced with each step.

Westley and Gabrielle walked a little behind them. Gabrielle pulled on Westley’s arm to grab his attention and whisper to him. She tried to keep her voice low.

“Westley, why didn’t you let Bonnie tell me her family background?” Gabrielle thought that Westley did it on purpose. There was always a reason behind his actions.

What the hell was going on? Was it supposed to be a big secret? Why didn’t he let her listen to Bonnie? In Gabrielle’s view, Westley had gone too far this time around.

“Do you really want to know?” Westley looked down at her, his eyes intense and serious.

“Yes, Westley. I do.” Gabrielle returned his stare. She saw him sigh heavily and run his fingers through his hair.

Gabrielle wanted to know more about Bonnie. It was a good thing because they were family after all. They had to get along well with each other. That was why it surprised her that Westley deliberately interrupted them. Gabrielle found it a little excessive and unnecessary.

“If you want to, you can please me first. How are you going to do that?” Westley had a smile playing on his lips. His meaning was crystal clear—he wanted to take advantage of her. That was so like him.

Gabrielle gave him the side eye and tutted. “Then, I’d better just ask Bonnie directly.”

Gabrielle was a bit annoyed. ‘Please him? Fine. Whatever. If he won’t tell me anything, then so be it.’

Westley saw that Gabrielle let go of his arm and was about to catch up with Bonnie, so he quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. “All right, all right. Don’t be angry. I’ll tell you.”

Gabrielle raised her eyebrow at him. She noticed several girls stealing looks at Westley and whispering. Gabrielle; she wanted to avoid them. She probably should get used to it by now, but she just couldn’t find it in her.
