Chapter 257 He Washed Her Feet

Westley became visibly upset when he started talking about Lance. It seemed like he didn‘t want to discuss anything about him anymore.

Soon, the car came into a halt in front of the place Michelle mentioned. Westley N got out first to make way for Michelle and Michelle followed him out. + “Gabrielle, please don’t be ang With my cousin. He did this all for you. He even went as far as ‘sacrificing Gie. I can only imagine the dreadful things my fans are saying about me on the Internet right at this very momUA!” Michelle couldn’t help but feel terrible.

Having “anti-fans” wasn’t a foreign concept to her. She had always had detractors. However, now everyone knew who her sponsor was, she was sure that they would only grow in number. After all, nothing would be more awful to them than knowing that their idol was being kept as a mistress.

“What are you so worried about? Alvin will deal with this matter. Cancel your schedules and rest at home for the time being.” Westley said coldly.

Michelle took a deep breath. “You’re probably right. I don’t think I’ve had a proper rest for some time now. Can I go to Gabrielle’s and unwind for a bit?” She truly believed that Westley could take care of everything for her.

Westley was about to deny Michelle’s request when he remembered that he was the one who had to save her a “Ask Gabrielle,” he muttered lifelessly.

Michelle turned to Gabrielleher eyes expectant. “Gabrielle, whNdo you say? Let’s hang out for a bit! It didn’t even tak full second before Gabrielle respopaed. “Of course,” she said, sounding the slightest bit enthralled. She really didn’t mind spending some time with the girl because to her, she was a good girl. Also, she was Westley’s cousin, so there was no way she’d refuse her.

“Come when you want to. I’m at Half Moon Bay and I’ll be free for the next

couple of days. Feel free to come, but after that, I’ll have to be off to work back at the studio again, which means I won’t be able to accompany you at that point.” “I’m totally fine with that!” Michelle shrieked with excitement. “Where is your studio by the way?”

“Michelle, do you want to get off the car or not?” Westley was quickly starting to go from upset to angry as he waited for the conversation to be over.

“Come tomorrow. I’ll see you,” Gabrielle gently told Michelle

“Okay. I’m so sorry I’ve combled you so much trouble today. I’ve Got to go now, bye.” Michelle then kly got off the car and rushed to the car driven by her agent.

Westley slammed the door behind him. as he returned to the back seat.

“Michelle can be overzealous at times, you know? You could have just refused her if you wanted to.” “It’s okay.” Gabrielle answered stiflly.

“She’s a good kid. I’m fine spending time with her.” Gabrielle felt her body tensing

1. up. When she spoke with Westley, she felt like she would get a little too serious and not talk as gentle as she would to Michelle

Neither of the two said anything in their drive up to Half Moon Bay, Remy was already there when they arrived, and he didn‘t look surprised to see Westley carrying Gabrielle in his arms as they entered the property. “Gabby, what happened? Did you Oht your feet?” It was the only reasoh he could think of that would warrant Westley to carry her like he was doing at that moment.

“Yes. The soles of 116 feet are hurt,” Westley respond as he gently put Gabrielle down the sofa.

“Remy, I’m Yeally sorry to trouble you again.” Gabrielle looked guilty.

“What are you saying?” Remy looked taken aback by Gabrielle’s apology. “Sophie, please get me a basin of warm water and a clean towel.” He then knelt down and began examining Gabrielle’s soles.

“You went to Kylo’s birthday party today,

right? How did you hurt your feet like this?” Remy asked in confusion.

“I… I…”

“Remy. the water is here. Let me wash Miss Jones’s feet.” Sophie was already back from fetching warm water and towels. She, too, looked concerned about the state of Gabrielle’s feet, with all the sand and patches of dried blood covering it. 1

She was about to kneel down in fronto Gabrielle when she noticed that Westley was rolling up the sleeves of hit Yorm fitting dress shirt.

NO

“Sophie, please go get ar Gher basin of warm water. I’ll washer feet.” And with that, he squatted do Thick, tense sile ice blanketed the room as Gabrielle, Remy, and Sophie began to realize what was happening.

Westley just offered to wash Gabrielle’s feet.

It was something very unlike of Westley.

The three of them had known him for a long time, and they had never seen him

act this way towards anyone else. To them, he was that child who still had to be taken care of.

“Mr. Moms. You don’t have to. I’ll do it,” Sophie firmly said after a few moments. “How could I let Mr. Morris do such a thing?

I will never

“Sophie, I said go get another basin of water.” Westley’s menacing tone woul. make anyone quiver in fear.

Sophie was left with no choice She scumied back to the kitchen to get another basin of warm water

After getting over the ihmal shock, Remy sat down and decided to silently observe whatever was zong to happen next. It felt like he was watching a good, exciting show. 3

He really wanted to take a photo, a video, or something to share with all their friends so that they could personally see Mr. Morris lovingly washing his wife’s feet.

“Westley, please stop. I don’t need you or anyone else to wash my feet. I can do it myself. My hands are not hurt.” Gabrielle’s face was already red from embarassment. She didn’t want to be treated like this!

Her protests fell on deaf ear, tinfortunately. Westley gently grabbed and pulled her feet into the basin and began washing them. “How’s the water? Too hot? Too cold?”

Gabrielle felt her heart beating violently. against her chest. The first and the lady time someone washed her feet forber was when she was still in the onpostage years ago! As Westley continued to wash and caress her inflamed feet, she follthe hatred she had for him slowly eling away.

“I’m asking YBN is the temperature okay?” Westley asked again when Gabrielle failed to answer. “And are any of your cuts hurting?”

The water’s temperature was okay, but the wounds would sting every time it came contact with water,

She would wince, but she made sure that no sound would escape her lips as she didn’t want to make a big deal out of the

situation Besides. Westley was already washing her feet. She knew she couldn’t ask for anything more Westley was quick to pick up on what Gabrielle‘s silence meant at that moment: “You know, if it’s painful, you can just cry out. Don’t feel ashamed.”

“It’s not painful.” Gabrielle intended hed! statement be firm and confident, what came out of her mouth was Shaky and quiet.

Westley, instead of forcing Gabrielle to let go, decided to just cl: unue with his task. Since he knew thaoaking wounds in water for an extended period of time would be bad, he saved quickly. After a while, he was beady drying Gabrielle’s feet with a soft towel.

“It’s done. Remy, hurry up and deal with her wounds.” Westley ordered as he washed his hands in the other basin of water

Remy immediately got on his feet.

“Thank you… Westley, whispered.

Gabrielle

Westley took the fresh towel from Sophie’s hands and wiped his hands with it. He then sat down beside Gabrielle, “You can show your sincere gratitude by not being stubbom. Just… trust me, When I tell you to do something, do it.”

Gabrielle felt a little sorry for what happened tonight. After all, her impulsiveness and hard-headedness were the root cause of the commotion. If Westley hadn’t arrived in time, she would have been done right then ald there.

“I understand. I’m sorry. But how are you going to handle tonight’s ruiters? Even Michelle got involved.” Gabrielle was still worried

Michelle was extremely popular. If the news spread, it would definitely impact her future, and not in a positive way.
