You

“Ahem…” Gabrielle choked on the mouthful of vegetables that she just stuffed in her mouth.

She felt terrible

She hurriedly grabbed a cup of water for herself as she looked at Westley with watery eyes.

“I can explain. I did not intend to bring Lance to the hospital for him to bash your bodyguards. I happened to meet him there during my visit to see Sloane at the hospital. We met there coincidently; it was not preplanned. When we were at her hospital ward, the bodyguards denied his entry. Due to his anxiousness, he ended up hitting the guards. He did not do it intentionally. Could you forgive him?” Gabrielle diligently explained the situation to Westley. She needed to let him know that they did not meant to intentionally hit the bodyguards. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“Gabrielle, are you blaming me for allowing the bodyguards to stop you?” Westley said. He seemed to find joy in distorting her words and intentions.

Gabrielle shook her head as she said, “Westley, that wasn’t my intention. I just wanted to…”

“Therefore by using a meal, you intend to exchange it for my forgiveness?” Westley said.

“That was not my intention. Cooking for you was out of my willingness, my own good intentions. It has nothing to do with your forgiveness and I did not intend to use this meal to coerce you into

forgiving us. At the end of the day, if you do not want to forgive Lance, it doesn’t matter. I just wanted to explain that Lance did not mean to hurt them,”

Gabrielle said seriously.

What she did not know was that Westley was unhappy due to the fact that she kept on defending and explaining for Lance.

“Gabrielle, regardless if Lance did it purposely or unintentionally, it doesn’t change the fact that he has indeed hurt someone. He is eventually in the wrong. Therefore, what’s the point in you explaining and apologizing on behalf of him?” said Westley coldly and indifferently.

Gabrielle had no way to refute his words. What Westley said was legitimate. Regardless if Lance had done it purposely or unintentionally, it was Lance who did it. He should have been the one to apologize, not her.

The atmosphere between the two of them was at a standstill. Gabrielle didn’t dare to say anything. She was afraid that Westley would get angrier with anything she said. After all, nothing good happened when this man got angry.

After the tensed meal, Gabrielle stood from her seat as she got ready to clear the dishes.

* You have already injured one hand of yours, are you intending to hurt both hands now? Just leave the dishes as it is. Sophie will clean up the mess. You do not need to fret about it.” After throwing those words at her, Westley stood up and left.

Gabrielle stood in the dining room, unsure if she

should leave with him or stay behind.

Where would she be sleeping tonight?

It seemed like Westley was going to stay here tonight again. She didn’t want to sleep on the sofa like in previous times.

“Gabrielle, do you want me to gloriously carry you back to the room?” Westley shouted at her coldly as he noticed that she was in a daze, not moving from the dining room

Gabrielle jumped as she was woken up from her thoughts by his voice. She decided to follow him obediently as she didn’t want to risk provoking him again.

“We… are we sleeping together?

Gabrielle asked meekly as she approached Westley. She felt that she was asking a very indecent question.

“It’s not like we have never slept together before.” Westley snorted and strode upstairs.

Gabrielle felt nervous and bothered by his words. However, she still followed behind his steps quietly

to the room.

When the both of them returned to the room, Westley noticed that the woman behind him was behaving very warily. He was displeased with her actions.

“Don’t worry. The bed is big enough for the two of us. We will not be in contact. After all, I’m not even interested in you or your body.” Westley voiced out. He knew what she was worried about. She was unwilling to have any intimacy

between the two of them.

Hearing this, Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief. However, she felt a tinge of sadness within her Was she so unattractive to him? In his eyes, was she truly that repulsive?

Westley’s words ranged in her ears. It sounded so dreadful that it made her heart feel awful.

Gabrielle replied, masking her

“I understand,” emotions.

“Go to take a shower. Don’t even think about getting on the bed without a shower.” After saying that. Westley went directly to the bed and pulled the sheets up.

Gabrielle didn’t exactly felt embarrassed about sharing a bed with Westley. It was not like they had not shared a bed before. Moreover, they were a legal couple. Although they are nominally married, they were still recognized as a couple by law. Thinking about this, she decided not to feel odd on embarrassed. She took her clothes and strode to the bathroom for a shower.

After showering, she noticed that Westley wasn’t oni the bed anymore. She turned her head and saw that he was standing on the balcony. He was probably on a call. Well, it didn’t seem to be any of her business what Westley was doing she didn’t care. She went to the bed and pulled the sheets up as she lay down at the innermost part of the bed.

Initially. Gabrielle was feeling very uneasy. However, as time went by she gradually fell asleep and entered the land of dreams. After Westley ended his call with Alvin, he walked into the bedroom and was greeted with the sight of her sleeping sweetly

by the innermost part of the bed.

Looking at her, he noticed that her fair and delicate face. Her pointy nose and supple lips were very beautiful and added to her charm. It was a no brainer to state that Gabrielle was indeed very beautiful. Unfortunately, there were some scars left behind on her face. However, once those scars faded, her face would be even more beautiful.

He didn’t know who her biological parents are on how do they looked like but he knew that they were likely to be gorgeous people too. Otherwise, where did Gabrielle’s beauty came from? While her biological parents were likely to be esthetically pleasing, it was a pity that their personality

characteristics were questionable. He wondered, what morals did they possess to be able to abandon their child? They truly didn’t have what it took to be a qualified parent. 5

Standing by her side, Westley didn’t notice how long he spent looking fixedly at her delicate face. Allowing himself to ponder, he only had one thought. Was this woman carefree, or was she too comfortable around him? Did she truly believed when he said that he had no interest in her at all?

Gabrielle slept through the night without a single dream. When she woke up, she noticed that the skies were already bright and the birds were chirping loudly. Moving her hands to the other side of the bed, she noticed that the bed had already long lost its warmth. It seemed like Westley had already left a long time ago.

Westley must had left extremely early this morning,

Gabrielle didn’t care about him at all. Whether he

had left early or late, it was none of her business. However, it seemed like Westley was true to his words. He did not touch her at all.

She lifted the quilt and walked towards the bathroom to freshen up before heading downstairs. As she descended the stairs she noticed Sophie cheerfully preparing breakfast. At the sight of Sophie’s cheerful countenance, it seemed like something wonderful had happened.

“Good morning, Sophie. What is the occasion? Do you have any good news to share with me?” Gabrielle greeted her.

“Gabrielle, good morning! You’re up. Good news? Of course, there is good news. Didn’t you make up with Westley yesterday?” Sophie replied to her with a cheerful tone.

“Made up with Westley?

No way. That definitely did not happen,’ Gabrielle thought.

He didn’t expressed any forgiveness towards Lance at all. The meal she cooked as she waited up all right for him to take was also in vain.

Moreover, there wasn’t any chance for any intimacy last night even if Westley intended to. She fell asleep like a dead log and slept through the night sweetly.

Gabrielle was on the verge of breaking down when she saw Sophie’s bright smile. She did not think that her problems were solved.

“Sophie, I’m hungry. Did Westley leave early?’” Gabrielle asked as she pulled out a chair and sat. down.

The bowls and plates they left last night had already been cleaned up by Sophie. Now, there were fresh fruits and buns lay out on the table for her to eat.

“Gabrielle, have a seat first. I’ll bring you some porridge for breakfast,” Sophie replied and she moved into the kitchen to prepare.

While eating the steamed buns and porridge that was prepared for her, Gabrielle still felt that she was in a bad mood. It was all written on her face and the way she stirred the porridge.

“Gabrielle, what happened between you and Mr. Mortis last night?” Sophie asked when she noticed that Gabrielle was in a bad mood. However, she wasn’t looking for some gossip when she asked. She truly cared about the relationship between the two of them.

After all, she knew that the two of them had been quarrelling for a while. The fact that Westley was here last night meant that the both of them had reconciled. Why was it that Gabrielle’s expression still looked so dull in the morning?

This made Sophie very worried.

“Nothing. Did Westley say anything when he left this morning?” Gabrielle asked uneasily as she stirred her porridge.

She slept so well last night that she didn’t even wake up when Westley had left. She wondered what his temper was like this morning when he left.

“Yes. Mr. Morris said to pass you this. It is an ointment that helps remove the scars on your face.” Sophie took out an ointment from her pocket and

passed it to her.

“Okay, thank you, Sophie,” Gabrielle said as she took the ointment and calmly placed it on the table.

“Gabrielle, the person you should be saying your thanks to isn’t me, but Mr. Morris. He was the one who bought the ointment. By the way, Mr. Morris also mentioned that you can visit Sloane from today on,” Sophie said calmly.

Gabrielle’s expression immediately changed. She was thrilled.

“Really?! I can? I can visit Sloane?” Gabrielle squealed as she stood up and held Sophie’s arms excitedly.

As she thought about it, it seemed like the dinner she cooked for Westley paid its effort. While he had not forgiven Lance, at least she could go visit Sloane today!
