Westley had four close friends with whom he got along well. At present, Gabrielle had only met Remy, who was the doctor in Antawood. The other three had been tied up with various affairs overseas and rarely came back to the country. Also, even when they returned for the holidays, they just spent time with their families.
Previously, when Gabrielle and Westley got married, they didn't notify them because it was a hidden marriage. Also, the reason Gabrielle got a chance to know Remy was because she got injured. If it weren't for Gabrielle's injury, Remy wouldn't have come over, and then he wouldn't have known about the two of them.
Westley felt he had nothing to hide from them now that he was truly in love with his wife. So, he wanted to take this opportunity to let his close friends and Gabrielle get to know each other.
After all, Antawood was not a big city, and he was afraid that even if Gabrielle ran into any of his friends, they would still have no idea who she was. Also, it was rare for them to have a gathering, so he had no chance to introduce them to his wife until now. However, now that all of his friends were in the city this time, he wanted to allow them and Gabrielle to meet together.
Westley could now proudly tell them that Gabrielle was his wife and that they were a family.
"Westley, I'm very nervous. I don't know what to say when I see them. Maybe we can meet them later at the end of the festival." Gabrielle's nerves were trembling, and she couldn't help but think of a way to back away.
A few days ago, Westley came up with a plan to meet his friends for dinner and introduce her to them at the same time. And Gabrielle agreed to go along with his plan.
After all, the two of them were now deeply in love with each other and decided to be good husband and wife together, so Gabrielle thought it was necessary for them to know each other's friends.
Just like she wanted to introduce Westley to Lolita and others. It was a recognition, as well as an expression of love.
It was natural to want to let the rest of the world know that you had someone special in your life. Gabrielle felt the same way now that she was deeply in love with Westley. She wanted everyone to know about his existence and that she had a husband who she loved so much.
"Don't be nervous. They are not human-eating beasts. Haven't you met Remy? Do you think he is easy to get along with?" Westley rubbed Gabrielle's head and asked, hoping she could relax and not be so nervous.
Westley knew well that his friends were the type of individuals that were easy to get along with. He was actually the one who seemed to be the most difficult to get along with among them.
Their friend group consisted of five people, including Westley. Remy was a doctor and was relatively gentle in his personality. Although the other three were also in the business circle, like Westley, they had a gentle and kind temperament, similar to Remy. After all, the other four were nothing like Westley, who appeared aloof and harsh and acted indifferently towards the appearance of strangers.
"Remy? He's a very easy-going person and so kind," Gabrielle replied earnestly, expressing what she had in mind.
After interacting with Remy so many times, Gabrielle's most intuitive impression of him was that he was a really kind person. His gentle personality was something she could barely see in other men she had known.
For most girls, Remy would be the ideal knight in shining armor.
Gabrielle even agreed that the title was a good fit for Remy.
"Yes, Remy is kind." Westley repeated her words.
But Gabrielle knew it wasn't as simple as just repeating after her since she could sense someone's heart burning with jealousy. There was absolutely no doubt that a particular gentleman was jealous, and that gentleman was none other than Westley.
"Yeah, Remy is very kind, but my honey is the kindest person to me." A strong survival instinct suddenly awoke in Gabrielle's heart, and she immediately added this right away.
Hearing thi
s, Westley couldn't help but burst out laughing. Finding Gabrielle's reaction adorable, he reached out and rubbed her head. Then he lowered his head and gave her a light kiss on her lips.
Before, everyone would assume the couple was just flaunting their sweet moments now and then to show off their affection or whatever. However, after getting along with each other for quite a while, they no longer felt anything.
Seeing the two love birds, they could do nothing but envy and bless them.
"You say, what if they don't like me?" Gabrielle voiced out her lingering anxious thought. After all, this was her first meeting with Westley's close friends, and she naturally wanted to leave a good impression on them.
"Silly girl, you don't have to please them. You are my wife. As long as I like you, that's all that matters. As for them, if they don't, we won't contact them in the future then. The most important thing to me is to keep you happy." It was clear from Westley's words that he was completely committed to spoiling his wife to the end.
He showed unequivocally that he would choose his wife unconditionally even if he had to choose between his wife and his friends.
"I know. I won't make things difficult for you." Gabrielle replied this as she squeezed their hands more tightly.
When the two got to the yard, they saw four cars parked there. Beside those cars stood four tall and handsome men.
"Happy holiday, Westley and Gabrielle." Remy greeted them first.
"Happy holiday, Remy." Gabrielle greeted Remy back with a smile on her face.
"Here, Gabrielle. Let me introduce you to these three big bosses who are always too busy." Westley held his wife's hand and stood in front of them.
"Jonas White, owner of an entertainment company; Joseph Turner, owner of a restaurant and hotel; Alexis Williams, running a business in the global tourism; and this is my wife, Gabrielle Jones." Westley briefly introduced them to each other and then wrapped his arms around Gabrielle's waist to show his initiative.
Although the three other friends of Westley had heard from Remy countless times that Westley and Gabrielle had a stable relationship and that they loved each other a lot, they didn't believe it completely. After all, since Westley lost Helena, he no longer seemed to believe in love or have feelings for any woman.
But today, after seeing Westley holding Gabrielle so domineeringly and affectionately, with his eyes full of tenderness and love for her, they realized that Westley was genuinely in love with his wife.
