Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 Bad Luck

Clover On the way back, Gabrielle took a few sips of water and cautiously cast a glance towards the silent man next to her, who was walking slowly and taking big strides with his long legs. “Westley, did you enjoy the dingen? What I mean to say is … don’t find Akiba’s wife’s enthusiasm too much. She is always like that, especially when it involves me. You are the first man I brought there, and you are my boss, so naturally she was curious and paid more attention to you.” Y

Gabrielle explained the scenario to him, mervous that he was put off by the older woman’s enthusiasm.

“No,”

Westley said indifferently.

It was obvious that Akiba and his wife really cared for Gabrielle. They treated her just like their daughter, and were deeply concerned about her. They even found various excuses to go upstairs to Visit Westley because of Gabnelle.

If Gabrielle hadn’t introduced him as her boss, the older woman would have thought he was a thief stealing Gabrielle away.

Gabrielle was lucky that someone loved her this much. Being the adopted daughter in the Jones family didn’t stop her from receiving a lot of care and love from others. Surely it had something to do with her kind and giving nature.

Gabrielle was a peace-lovina* and affectionate person, who treated everyone with care and inspect; it was only natural that she would receive the same treatment in kiya. “That’s good to hear. I’m so full from the meal! Are you satisfied and full?”

Gabrielle was relieved to hear Westley wasn’t bothered by the older woman’s hyper enthusiasm – she had been very worried about this, indeed.

“Yes!”

“There is a walkway along the river. Many people come here to jog in the

moming, but would you be keen to go for a walk with me in the evening? It could help with digestion … but if you don’t want to, it’s all good … forget I asked.” Gabrielle’s enthusiasm flowed and ebbed. To ask Westley to go for a walk was close to insane – trust her to come up with this idea!

“Lead the way.” Westley had been very busy recently as he constantly worked and studied hard. He didn’t have time to go for walks or partake in leisurely activities – except when he occasiorally went to Xi District as he accompanied Miley “Okay, let’s go. It’s just Nittle further ahead.” A bright smile appeared on Gabrielle’s face. V

“Okay, Mr. Morris, you enjoy your walk. I will drive there and meet you both when you’re finished,” Alvin said, and quickly left the two of them alone to avoid intruding in their company and being the third wheel

So Mr. Morris and Miss Jones seemed to be dating! Their love was enough to make him faint with jealousy.

Gabrielle led Westley towards the

riverside path. They seemed quite inconspicuous as they walked – after all, only a few people from the upper class visited the Lane Island Westley wasn’t the sort of celebrity who showed up on TV every day or walked the red carpets, hence very few would be able to recognize him at a glance.

In that moment, Gabrielle felt as though they were just an ordinary couple.

Yes, they weren’t really together – they may be a fake couple, but they were still a couple

“Westley, have you been here before?” Gabrielle asked him, curiously.

The track along the ever had been built very recently. It was an interesting mixture of asphalt and cobblestone, for people to run and jog on. It was a pleasant and comfortable walk on which people could enjoy the scenery from.

said Westley

“I never had the time,” flatly.

Gabrielle understood what he meant. The CEO of the Moris Group didn’t have extra time on his hands to hang around in places like this.

”Then take it all in and enjoy it today. I don’t know if we’ll ever get a chance in the future.” With that, Gabrielle smiled and strode forward.

Westley followed her unhurriedly, about one step away from her. He observed her carefully during their short walk and found that she was very lively and enthusiastic about everything. She stopped to look at the many different leaves and flowers several times.

Suddenly, a jogger almost ranohto Gabrielle – the visibility was low a Pnight. Westley quickly pulled Gabrielle into his arms so she swerved away from the jogger’s path. “What is wrong with you?!” Westley shouted at the young man who was running towards them. He almost had a twinkle of malice in his eyes.

Banov

The young man seemed to be in his early twenties, with a Bluetooth headset in his ears. He had been stunned when he almost came in contact with Gabrielle, and was going to argue about her sudden movements but the man next to her spoke out first.

The jogger had thought about reasoning with Westley in a calm way. but when he saw the cold and insidious look on Westley’s face, he immediately abandoned the idea.

A good man doesn’t fight with a woman!

“I’m sorry, miss. Next time, could you please announce your movements before you move around suddenly?” The young man still felt wronged and wanted them to know

It wasn’t his fault, after all – he had been caught by surprise thanks to the lady.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Gabrielle said earnestly. “Never mind.” The young man quickly ran away, fearing that the tall and cold man with the lady would beat him up on hurt him.

‘Did he enjoy being a hero by protecting his woman like that?’

After he ran away, Gabrielle turned to look at Westley.

*Thank you, Westley.” Gabrielle was still in shock when he had suddenly pulled

her into his arms.

“Don’t you know how to walk properly. Gabrielle? If I hadn’t caught you, you would have been knocked over! What are your eyes for? To properly look around you. Don’t you know that?” Westley ruthlessly reprimanded her. i

Gabrielle felt lousy and wronged with the way Westley scolded her. She had only seen a four-leave clover on the grass and had picked it up for Westley to have a look at. She had gotten too excited zod hadn‘t noticed the person runnin, in front of them in her haste.

Gabrielle knew Westley was a Mly worried about her, but she didn’t bel good about the way he told her off O

“Are you okay? Did I say anything Wrong?” Westley’s face and tone softened when he saw Gabrielle’s upset demeanor.

“Yes, you’re wrong. Eyes are used to discover beautiful things around you. Look at what I found.” Gabrielle unfolded her hand to show him the four-leaf clover that she was clasping.

Westley stared at the green leaf on her white palm. It was just a clover with four leaves – what was so beautiful about it? Gabrielle’s aesthetic standard was really

“A leaf from the grass? Is this the beautiful thing you saw and had to stop to retrieve?” Westley’s contempt was distinct

Gabrielle was stunned by him – this was a four-leaf clover, which was known to bring people luck if they found it.

“Westley, this is not some wild grass. It’s a rare four-leaf clover. It can bring people who see it or find it great hick. Do you get it now?” Gabrielle explained to him, with serious eyes. 2

As difficult and rates it was to find this special leaf, Westley clearly didn’t seem to care at all.

“A lucky clover? You just nearly got knocked out for picking it up. Is that called ‘luck’?” Westley looked down at the simple leaf.

‘It shouldn’t be called the lucky clover – but bad luck clover!” Westley thought to himself

“Uh…” Gabrielle was at a loss for words.

“Westley. I’m tired. Let’s just go back,” Gabrielle said weakly. She didn’t feel like walking anymore.
