Hearing this, Gabrielle grew a little confused. She crawled towards Westley and sat down, looking at him with her dazed eyes.

“Westley, did you say that you want Aus to have lunch with us?” Gabriella couldn’t decipher what he was thinkin

It was him who didn’t want skin to come here, but now he waving to have dinner with him.

W estley out of his mind? o

“What? You don’t want to?” Raising his eyebrows, Westle Crew the phone back at her

Why did she keep referring to him as “Aus?” He had told her time and time again to call him Austin, his proper name, but she just couldn’t retain that order.

But if she was going to be stubborn, he wouldn’t bother trying to change her mind.

“No, I’m not saying I don’t want to. I’m just afraid you won’t have a good appetite to have a properly meal … Don’t you hate Aus? Do you really want to have dinner with him?” Gabrielle asked him straightforwardly. She really cared about Westley’s thoughts..

“Why wouldn’t I be okay? Just hold tight. * Westley started the car.

He didn’t mind having dinner with Austin. After all, he wasn’t afraid of Austin – the matter in question wae whether Austin would dare to ko dinner with Westley..

As soon as the car starte h abrielle immediately used her schoon to shield her face. It looked if she felt disgraceful and wanted hide herself,

Westley looked V abrielle and was amused. “Gabrire, is your face too hideous to show others or what?”

“You just saw how everyone at the university knew who you were! You’re so popular – all the girls were going gaga over you, calling you ‘honey’ or ‘husband’. I don’t want them to see me in your car and I don’t want my life

getting ruined because of you.” Gabrielle lamented from behind her schoolbag

Westley said,

“But you didn’t.” indifferently.

“What does he mean?’ she thought.

Gabrielle looked at him “What didn’t I do?”

cautiously.

“They all called me honey and husband, but you didn’t.” Westley said shamelessly.

This honey thing, again?

He had already threatened hence to call him “honey” just the Oly a real married couple did, an Now he did it again. ‘Could Westley being such a predictable man and play some new tricks?’ she though

“Westley, what’s this game you’re playing?” Gabrielle was afraid of Westley because he would always come up with some new tricks. He was quite horrible that way.

“I am not playing any games. What kind of person do you think I am, Gabrielle?” Westley asked, coolly. Ü

“What kind of person is he?’ Gabrielle thought, incredulously.

In all honesty. Gabrielle hadn’t thought about this question seriously. After all, Westley was quite horrible around her. He would only bully her, humiliate her and make fun of her in various and demeaning ways. How could she describe him in a positive way?

“What kind of words do you want to hear?” Gabrielle asked diplomatically.

“The truth.” Westley guessed wb Gabrielle was insinuating. She wall say something nice.

“Not bad.” That was the Ny serious answer she could think of a After all, Westley was t a good man or a good husband. Ohese women who were fanatics Pet him, calling him “honey” or “husband”, didn’t know what kind of man Westley truly was.

They were only interested in looks, and their shallow personalities didn’t see anything beyond his face.

“Not bad, right?” Westley had never heard himself being described in such

modest terms before. He felt disgusted

“Not bad?!

 

That’s what Gabrielle thinks of me?!”

He had heard every possible praise about him, from all angles – he was handsome. smart, rich, powerful – the most enviable man! Of course, there would be people who called him a bad guy. criticizing him by saying he was cold blooded and ruthless, as well. And even Westley knew this was true after he did a few box things.

Nevertheless, all the commoy he received were either extreme Yositive or extremely negative. Gabrielle’s comment le him very uncomfortable. Did a mean that he was neither good Had?

“In fact, Mr. Mortis, you are a good man. You are a handsome CEO of the massive Morris Group. You’ve got all your boxes ticked.” When Gabrielle met his devilishi eyes, she immediately cowered.

No matter how bold and confident she was, she always Surrendered in fear when he got angry or displeased.

Hearing her careless words, Westley’s lips twitched in anger. “Forget it, Gabrielle. You don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”

Gabrielle didn’t say anything else. She sat quietly in the passenger seat for the rest of the ride.

The car soon arrived at their destination, the Deli Feast.

Gabrielle got out of the car first. SK hadn’t expected Austin to be there all, he was going to have dinnecWith Westley, who he didn’t like eithe

When she got out of the oricle, she noticed that Austin hacked his car right next to them. The was only a parking space between them – what a coincidence.

“Hi, Aus,” Gabelle greeted Austin,

“Let’s go inside.” Austin cast a glance at Westley curtly, who had just gotten out of the car and was about to come to them.

He had never wanted to have dinner with this ungrateful man. He had unrightfully stolen Gabrielle. But he

wasn’t afraid of Westley. so why would he not come?

“Okay, let’s go inside.” Gabrielle waited for Westley to join them before going in together.

The restaurant was pretty and well decorated. Fortunately, it was quiet and there weren’t many guests so Westley would not be the center of attention.

Gabrielle, what do Ou want to eat?” Austin immedia looked towards Gabrielle, focusin on her order. 

“You order the food, Gabrielle.” Westley sat his seat, casting a casual glance towards Gabrielle.

Gabrielle didn’t say another word as she scanned the menu. She knew enough about what Westley and Austin liked to eat.

Regardless. She checked with Westley after looking at the items on the menu.

“Westley. I haven’t ealen here before. You know what dishes are delicious, don’t you? Better than me, anyway.” Gabrielle looked at Westley uneasily.

“Come here.” Westley eyebrows slightly to her.

Without another thought, Gabrielle obediently moved one seat towards hinn She took the empty seat that was the between them – she was much cloeto him now.

Austin’s face darkened sat next to Westley. .

“They don’t need to 13o close just to order the food, ‘he Ought. a Without missibeat, Westley noticed the angry and resentful look in Austin’s eyes. That was exactly what he had aimed for.

“Westley, this dish looks good…
