Westley happily accepted her blame. He lowered his head closer to her face. His lips moved upon hers and he softly bit her lower lip.
"Mrs. Morris, you're right. I'm not possessive about others. I'm only possessive of you. Do you want me to change my mind?" Westley asked mischievously.
"Mmm! Okay, let me think about it." It was a fact, Gabrielle liked the way he treated her.
She was amazed at his manners. He was very gentle to her, and was quite loving with his possessive behavior.
No woman could dislike a man who treated her in that way.
"Think it over my dear. You can give me the answer when you've decided. But then, if you don't give me a reply, you shall not go out today." Westley held her strongly in his arms as he had no intention to let her go.
Gabrielle was certain that he wouldn't force himself on her. He was just bluffing to make her decide soon.
With those thoughts in her mind, she was about to speak, but suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Westley, looks like someone is here for you." Gabrielle was certain that the doorbell was ringing for him. After all, no one was aware of her presence here.
"Really? Maybe the person is looking for you." Holding her hand, Westley made her walk along with him. They walked out of the living room and opened the intercom's video screen.
The first one whom they saw outside was Lolita. Her face had exquisite makeup, which made her look beautiful. But in her demeanor there was a hint of uneasiness. Beside her, stood a tall figure. Although they could not see his face, Gabrielle knew he was Lolita's cousin, Kendal.
"Those people have really come looking for you. It looks like Lolita and Kendal are here. Can you let them in?" Westley looked at her with jealousy lurking in his eyes.
Gabrielle knew very well why he was getting jealous. That envious look was because of the arrival of Kendal.
"Since they are here for me, I want to meet them. But are you willing to let them in?" Gabrielle asked Westley in a straightforward manner.
She knew very well that Westley didn't want to do such a thing.
"Hmm. If I say I don't want to let them in, will you really not meet them?" As a matter of fact, Westley had no issues about Lolita coming in, but he didn't want Kendal to enter his room.
"Well, I'll tell you honestly. But don't be angry. I just have a nodding acquaintance with Kendal. Rather, we are not even friends. He probably escorted Lolita. However, he is Lolita's cousin, so it's not appropriate to directly shut the door at him. Moreover, they should have got to know from Stetson that we are in this room. Maybe they already know about our relationship. There is nothing to hide." Gabrielle held his hand as she spoke. She wanted to frankly tell Westley the facts and set the record straight.
"Stetson doesn't know much about our relationship, but he looks like talked too much. Seems like he is not suitable candidate for the position anymore." Westley sounded cold and disappointed.
Hearing him say that he was going to fire Stetson, Gabrielle was anxious. She grasped his hand firmly in hers, in a hurry. "Come on, Westley. You can't just go around and fire others from their jobs like that. Stetson didn't do anything to offend you. Maybe he needs this job to support his family. It's too cruel to expel him like this."
Hearing her words and concern, Westley couldn't help smiling at her generosity and kindness. "It's heartening that you really care about other people so much. How do you know that he needs this job to support his family?"
"Westley, I just don't want others to lose their jobs because of me. I will feel guilty about this forever."
"It's okay. I really may not fire him. Why don't you try to coax me out of that decision?" Westley suggested shamelessly.
Gabrielle stood on her tiptoes and raised her head closer to his. Her lips were on his and they kissed passionately. Filled with desire, Westley's hand reached out and clasped the back of her head to press her closer. Their kiss deepened. And at the same time, he used the other hand to unlock the door.
Therefore, when Lolita and Kendal came inside, they saw the couple with their lips locked and their hands all over each other. They were kissing passionately.
"Gabrielle..." Lolita stood staring at them and was completely speechless. She tried to organize her thoughts into words in her mind, but she couldn't utter out a single sentence.
It was quite clear that Westley was doing it intentionally. He was showing them that the woman they were talking about, was his! He wanted to let Kendal know that Gabrielle was off limits for him and he couldn't have anything to do with her.
"Mrs. Morris?" Both Lolita and Kendal didn't hear all that Westley had said. They were shocked when they heard the title by which Westley had called Gabrielle.
It was impossible for them to keep calm when they heard that she was not his fiancée, but his wife.
"Gabrielle! Is.... is that true?" With wide eyes, Lolita stared at Gabrielle. She just could not believe what she had heard. Never in her life had she been so shocked.
"Lolita, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you about it before. I am married to Westley and I have a marriage certificate too. Legally, we're a couple, but the news has not been made public!" Gabrielle looked at Lolita uneasily.
Lolita was stupefied. But she didn't need any apology. The fact was that the whole thing was too shocking for her.
"So... so..... You got married some time ago, but you haven't made it public yet? Is your husband really Mr. Morris?" Lolita was about to scream and get the truth out of Gabrielle.
She could not believe that Gabrielle ended up marrying the best man in Antawood.
Lolita felt that it was amazing. He was keeping a low profile and didn't let anyone know about their marriage. Before she had walked in Westley's room, Lolita had wanted Gabrielle to be with Kendal.
Kendal with both his own conditions and external conditions, was the best man around. Although he looked like a playboy, he was really a good man. It was evident that he was an amazing man who would love his wife a lot!
But now, it looked like her plan had failed before it had been put into action.
Lolita became thoughtful. 'Gabrielle has a husband who is even better than Kendal. More importantly, Westley seems to love her a lot too.'
