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. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“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.

In reality, he was such a bad person. He had always been merciless, cruel, and cold-hearted in whatsoever he did. All the bad words for describing a person could be used on him. He was just a villain who was full of lust. 3

Despite all this, he didn’t care about other people’s feelings and opinions. Others couldn’t influence what he already had in mind to do.

But for the first time, Gabrielle’s facial expression of resentment made him feel that he was really bad.

“Go and warm up the dishes,” he said. “I’ll take a shower and come downstairs for dinner.” Immediately he said that he turned around and went upstairs.

She didn’t understand what he meant at all. ‘What does he mean by such statement? Was he going to have dinner, after all?” she mused.

All of a sudden, she burst into a fit of laughter and then went back to the kitchen to heat the cold dishes.

As he stood under the showerhead taking his bath, he started doubting the decision he had just made to his wife. He was being influenced by her recently and his principles had been broken over and over again.

When he came downstairs in his pajamas to have dinner with her, she had already heated the dishes and was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of soup.

The big and heavy white sand pot must have pressed against her injured hand, making her look a little uncomfortable.

“If you can’t carry it, it would be better if you don’t take it out. It’s not even necessary to serve it out. I can’t drink a whole pot of soup,” he said with a frown on his face and walked up to her and took the soup pot from her hands.

Gabrielle was taken aback by his sudden move, but then, she was quick to realize that he was just helping her. It was not easy to carry such a heavy pot with her injured hand.

“Thank you, Mr. Morris,” she said with a smile. She

“Who said that this man was cruel and cold-hearted, ‘ she thought to herself. It was obvious that despite the tough front he had always put up, he still cared about people he was close to. 1

“If you know that you can’t do it, don’t try to be brave. If the pot falls and smashes into pieces, who are you going to blame?” he asked her as he looked at her. At the same time, he pulled out a chair and sat down. His face was cold and indifferent.

She knew that he wasn’t going to say more than that. So, she quickly took a bowl of soup.

“Gabrielle, sit down!” he thundered. She was about to use her injured hand again, which made him very angry

The way he yelled at her almost made the bowl she was holding fall off.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Morris?” She looked at him in horror, scared to death that she would make him unhappy again, and also afraid that the pot of soup would hit her head. It was terrible.

She didn’t even have the guts to think about it.

“Don’t worry about me, I can take care of myself. Just eat your food,” he said to her ruthlessly.

At that moment, she felt that he seemed to care about her. She hoped that she wasn’t thinking too much so as not to be disappointed.

She then decided to allow him to serve himself. She sat down and ate with chopsticks obediently.

“Mr. Morris, these were all cooked by me. If they

But if you worked overtime and haven’t eaten anything yet, then you should eat more. You need it.” She couldn’t help but care about his wellbeing.

Westley had always been well-educated. He ate quietly and elegantly without making any sound. He was graceful in his way.

This was his habit. But in the eyes of his wife, it seemed like he didn’t want to talk to her at all.

Sure enough, he disliked her. No matter how delicious the food she cooked was, he would dislike it because he didn’t like her.

However, it was the first time that the two of them had such a peaceful meal. She could talk to him when they were done eating.

“Gabrielle, are you satisfied by just staring at me?” he asked as he took a brief look at her.

She looked away uneasily and lowered her head to eat her food

“Mr. Morris, if you don’t like the food I cooked, you can tell me directly. You don’t have to force yourself to eat it, and you don’t have to consider how I would feel if you reject it,” she said shyly.

By the way, it was unbearable for the both of them to keep silent all the time when they were having dinner. Besides, he didn’t look happy as he ate the food she cooked, which made her restless as she wondered whether the food was delicious to him on not

“Have I ever cared about your feelings, Gabrielle?

Besides, you know that you are not good at cooking,

why then did you force yourself to cook for me? Did you do it on purpose to make me uncomfortable? What was the motive behind you cooking for me?” he asked her.

Although, the dishes cooked by Gabrielle looked ordinary they tasted good.

He was never a person known to compromise for the sake of others. If the food was really difficult to swallow, he would spit it out immediately. He would never deprive himself for the sake of how other people who are involved would feel.

Although he had been brought up in a wealthy family and was known for being blunt in his statements, he was not that difficult to serve. It could only be said that the dishes cooked by his wife were not bad, so as not to be tasted bad by

him.

“No, I didn’t. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I just sincerely made a meal for you. Nothing more.” She shook her head and looked at him with utmost sincerity.

To be honest, for a moment, he was moved by her sincere expression, but it was only for a moment because he felt that this little woman must be plotting something against him.

“Gabrielle, you were so diligent in cooking for me, and you also hurt three of your fingers just for the sake of Lance. Why?” he asked her without mincing words. ]
