Chapter 673 Not A Perfect Daughter-In-Law _
After Westley drove away from the villa, he didn't drive straight to Half Moon Bay. Instead, he took a
detour.
Novo Resort was more than an hour's drive away. It was a famous spring and spa hotel in the city. He
wanted to take Gabrielle there so she could have a relaxing bath and get some good rest.
Gabrielle had a long day today.
"Westley, you missed out turn. Where are we off to?" Gabrielle asked, noticing the unfamiliar view
outside the window.
Normally, she wouldn't worry whenever Westley would take her to someplace else, but it was late in
the night and it was in the opposite direction of their home.
“Are you scared I might leave you in the middle of nowhere?” Westley joked.
“Not at all. You would never do that." Gabrielle sneered confidently.
Westley chuckled after seeing her reaction. "Of course, I wouldn't. I've been blessed with the most
wonderful wife I could ever ask for. There's no way 1 would abandon you."
“That's a given. You prepared a surprise for me, didn't you?" Gabrielle asked expectantly.
Her eyes shone brightly and were filled with excitement. How could Westley let her down? Wherever
he would take her, Gabrielle would undoubtedly be amazed.
“You know me well, now, don't you? Let's go see what's waiting for you." The corners of Westley's
mouth curled up in a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it. I had a feeling you would prepare something big for me again." Gabrielle
was totally thrilled and overjoyed.
"How did you think I did at the party? Did I do okay? Or did I blow it off?" Gabrielle asked anxiously,
gazing into the darkness outside.
She could only give herself three points out of ten at best for it.
And Westley deserved all the credit. If he didn't encourage her, she wouldn't even gain at least a point,
and probably would have run away from the scene.
Liana would hate her even more for being a coward.
“What are you talking about? Being Mrs. Morris and the wife of the CEO of Morris Group, you're
already the best of the best." Westley's praise made Gabrielle's heart sway. She loved it.
‘It's Just that I think I wasn't too confident earlier. The people were probably expecting something
more. Your mother must hate me a lot after tonight. She probably thinks I'm incompetent." Thinking
of her mother-in-law, Gabrielle felt small and restless.
Liana never liked her in the first place and she was constantly nitpicking. Now, she finally had a new
reason to continue resenting her daughter-in-law. After all, Gabrielle wasn't the ideal wife by her
standards.
Gabrielle's family, in particular, was unworthy of Liana's attention.
Liana never tried to hide her dislike towards Gabrielle. And after she behaved so timidly at the
banquet, Liana seemed to only hate her more.
Gabrielle was aware of that.
"Westley, are we heading to Novo Resort? It's the most famous hot spring hotel in Antawood, right?"
Gabrielle's eyes lit up.
This was one of the best resorts in Antawood. It was usually full of customers so a reservation wasnt
easy to make. That was how popular the resort was.
"Yes, I wanted you to relax tonight. What do you think?" Westley asked, looking at her.
Judging from her happy face, she was beyond ecstatic.
As long as she was happy, everything he did was worth it.
"Thank you so much, honey. I haven't been to a He spring in a long time. It's very different from the one in Bangkok.” Gabrielle clapped to show her excitement.
Novo Resort was a pioneer in hot spring themes for skin treatment and recuperation. Gabrielle had yearned for it for years, but there had never been a good opportunity to go. Not to mention the exorbitant fees, and, most importantly, it was difficult to even get a room.
Even though the hot spring resort wasn't too far from the city, the commute there would take a lot of time. It felt wasteful to go if one couldn't enjoy all best services there in a day.
"It seems like I made the right decision of booking a reservation here. You look very pleased." Westley was more than happy to see her so excited.
He was determined to do anything as long as it made Gabrielle happy.
"I certainly like it, and I don't think anyone in Antawood dislikes the place. Novo Resort is popular for its beauty treatments and I haven't heard a single negative thing. Our colleagues came here before and they say it's an absolute five-star!" Gabrielle opened her palm to gesture the number five.
"It appears that my Gabrielle knows a lot about this place. Have you been here before?” Westley hummed.
He was worried it wouldn't be much of a surprise anymore.
He didn't want to disappoint her with repetitive experiences. He wanted to give her fresh surprises.
"No, I've only talked about it with Sloane a few times. We always imagined staying here for three days and soaking in the bath for as long as we'd like." Thinking of Sloane made Gabrielle feel nostalgic. She quieted down and smiled sadly.
"Well, you're here now. You can come here anytime you want. You can bring Sloane next time, too."
Westley patted her on the head.
