Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 58

Gabrielle had wanted to sincerely thank Westley for taking them the hospital to the car. He had everything arranged for them. Gabrielle was very grateful, until Westley sprouted some harsh words in the car.

If Westley hadn't stepped in, Gabrielle and Sloane wouldn't have known what could have happened to them.

But, what Westley said about Bryce before he got out of the car was uncalled for. Gabrielle felt her gratitude towards Westley wane after what she heard.

"Since you're so grateful for Mr. Morris, Miss Jones, could you please bring him a coffee for later? Mr. Morris is currently reading some documents in the study. You can bring it to him there," Neil said, interrupting Gabrielle's deep thoughts. Neil felt the tension building up between Westley and Gabrielle and only hoped that he could had done the right thing to bring them together.

'Bring Westley a coffee? Why would I do that?'

Gabrielle refused in her mind.

"Neil, Westley had asked you to make him a coffee. I don't think it would be appropriate for me to bring it to him." Approaching Westley was the last thing Gabrielle wanted to do, knowing very well that he would most likely drive her out.

"No problem, Miss Jones. If you really don't want to do that, I can send it to Mr. Morris." Neil knew there was something going on between Westley and Gabrielle, but he couldn't seem to figure it out.

"Neil, I did something that made Mr. Morris unhappy. I'm afraid that if I send the coffee to him personally, he's going to lose his temper," Gabrielle said hesitantly.

Westley's attitude had been very upsetting when Gabrielle spoke with him earlier. She understood that if she showed her face to him again, the outcome would be dire.

"Miss Jones, you cannot do any wrong in Mr. Morris' eyes. He can't stay mad at you, despite whatever it is that you did to upset him. I am sure there must have been some sort of misunderstanding and he would be pleased to have you bring him the coffee instead. You can take the opportunity to clear the air with him." Gabrielle couldn't help but be persuaded by Neil's suggestion.

Gabrielle thought for a while and decided to bring Westley the coffee to appease the man. After all, he did help her out in a time of need.

"Okay, Neil. I'll bring it up to him." Gabrielle agreed and got up to stand by Neil.

Neil was delighted to hear that Gabrielle obliged and quickly made the coffee for Gabrielle to take it upstairs to the study.

"Miss Jones, it's ready. Here you are."

"Thank you, Neil."

With the cup of coffee in hand, Gabrielle trudged up the stairs towards the study while she thought about what she could say to Westley. As she approached, she realized that the door to the study was open. Peering around the corner, Gabrielle gasped as Westley suddenly appeared in front of the door. Gabrielle was so startled that she almost spilled the coffee all over her hand.

"Why are you sneaking around my study, Gabrielle?" Gabrielle stared at Westley with fear in her eyes, which caused Westley discomfort knowing that Gabrielle was scared of him.

'We have already had some quarrels in the car. Is Gabrielle coming here to take the initiative to apologize?' Westley thought curiously.

"Gabrielle, are you bringing this coffee to me to apologize to me? If you are, do you sincerely believe that you were wrong?"

Westley took a look at the coffee in Gabrielle's hand and made the assumption that that Gabrielle was here because she was sorry.

He was secretly pleased and tried to hide the smirk that was forming on his face and thought, 'She is finally admitting that she was wrong.'

However, a cold glance crossed Gabrielle's face instead.

"Neil asked me to bring this to you. Although I agree that what I said in the car is a bit out of line, I don't believe that I said anything wrong." Gabrielle bit her lips and looked intently up at Westley.

"Well, if you weren't here to apologize, why have you come up here?" Westley snapped. Westley's face darkened and he didn't even want to pick up the coffee in Gabrielle's hand.

As Gabrielle was about to say something, Westley's phone rang. Westley gave Gabrielle a look of contempt and turned around to look at his phone and answer it. "Holly, what is it? What happened?"

Westley quickly turned around and started briskly away from the study. "Okay... Wait a minute, I am coming now. Don't be afraid." Westley picked up his pace and quickly ran down the stairs.

'Holly?' Gabrielle repeated in her mind.

'Who is this woman Westley is speaking to?'

"Gabrielle, there were no sincerity in you bringing me this cup of coffee. Don't come back to me unless you're ready t

"It's late, Neil. You should head to bed and get some rest. I'll drink this cup of coffee instead," Gabrielle said as she started towards the guest quarters. With the cup of coffee in hand, Gabrielle walked up, lost in her thoughts.

The next morning, Gabrielle woke up feeling tired and groggy. She didn't sleep well at all because of the big cup of coffee she drank before going to bed. She also couldn't close her eyes without thinking about everything that happened the night before. When she did finally fall asleep, her rest was plagued by nightmares of Westley holding another woman.

When Gabrielle finally opened her eyes, she looked out of the window and found that it was already dawn. She rolled over thinking about the dream she just had and felt herself in a trance.

After quickly brushing her teeth, Gabrielle went downstairs to find Neil preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, Neil."

"Miss Jones, why are you up so early? You had a late night, so you should be resting some more."

"I feel fine. By the way, did Westley return at all last night?" Gabrielle asked hesitantly.

"I'm afraid Mr. Morris did not return last night, but he did call this morning. He informed me that Holly had sprained her ankle last night and he stayed at the hospital with her the entire night," Neil reported honestly.

Gabrielle felt a slight twist in her heart as the feeling of mixed emotions tapped at her heart.

"Miss Jones... Don't worry, Mr. Morris and Holly are just friends..." Neil tried to explain after seeing Gabrielle's somber face.

"You won't need to explain anything to me, Neil. This is Mr. Morris' private affairs and he and I have made a deal that we would not interfere with each other's lives." Gabrielle's lips twitched, trying to put on a happy face. 'More importantly, I don't have the ability to interfere with Westley's private affairs, ' Gabrielle thought to herself.

After hearing what Gabrielle said, Neil did not broach the subject any more.

Helena was Holly's cousin. When Westley dated Helena, she had introduced her to Westley. So, naturally Westley became a good friend of Holly's as well.

However, Holly never saw Westley as a good friend. She always wanted more.
