Lock You In My Heart



It was about a ten-minute walk from the square i their room. The chilly night wind blew as Westley carried Gabrielle through the quiet and shady path

With Gabrielle's arms wrapped around Westley's neck, she carefully examined his features under the

streetlights.

"Dashing, aren't 1?" Westley couldn't help but laugh as Gabrielle was staring at him intently.

Seeing her like this, a smile formed on his lips. Her drunk face was a rare sight, and Westley thought

it was cute.

He couldn't believe he would spend a lifetime with this woman. He was very fond of watching her every chance he got.

"Of course, my husband is the most handsome manin the world. I can't believe how charming you are." Gabnielle reached out for Westley's hand and gently caressed it.

Touching his hand made Gabrielle feel giddy. Westley's hand was much bigger than hers. She didn't

want to let go of it at all.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, it's cute. I'm so happy. Everything about my husband is amazing." Gabrielle's words made Westley blush.

It wasn't every day that he would get a confession like this from Gabrielle. After all, she was very demure. If Gabrielle wasn't drunk, he wouldn't get to listen to her saying these kinds of words.

So he thought he wouldn't stop her from drinking; as long as she was able to control herself and not get addicted.

A few moments ago, he had been standing under the shade of the tree, ready to pounce and take Gabrielle away. If anyone else had forced her to drink, he would jump in without hesitation.

That would startle all of them. Gabrielle was taken away by the CEO of the Morris group out of the

blue. Rumors would escalate.

He would frighten the living daylights out of them.

If that happened, he wouldn't care if Gabrielle would get mad at him or not. He also didn't care about what people would think. He'd just snatch her away in a heartbeat.

"Honey, will you promise to be my husband until my last breath?" Gabrielle whispered, looking at him

tenderly

Her eyes were clear and firm as she looked up at him. It made Westley think that she was not actually

wasted.

'I will be your husband for as long as you want, my Gabrielle. You wouldn't want anyone else, right?" Westley asked, smirking.

"You're the best husband ever. I don't need anyone else, just you. Just my Westley." She tightened her

arms around his neck as if she was scared he would run away.

This made Westley's heart flutter. It was a night he was never going to forget.

When they returned to the hotel, Gabrielle was still in his arms, but she had already sobered up.

Westley sat on the couch with her in his arms, sorry placing her on his legs. They exchanged glances with each other.

Gabrielle kept smiling since she was still a bit tipsy. She liked staring at her husband like this.

"What is it, Gabrielle?" Westley asked softly.

He figured Gabrielle had something on her mind.

"It's nothing." She shook her head and then leaned onto his chest.

The intoxication made her even cuter. Bo

"I could never get tired of looking at you, Westley. You're dazzling," Gabrielle whispered, caressing his

face..

"Can we talk now, Gabrielle?" Westley chuckled ir a deep voice and tried to keep her from touching him. 7

This lovely, silly girl deserved to be spoiled and loved for the rest of her life. a

"Alnght, honey. What did you want to talk about? Iwill listen to you anytime." Gabrielle was behaving

like a little child.

"How much did you drink back there?" Westley sighed, smiling.

Gabrielle had always been obedient to him. She could totally answer his questions even when half-

conscious.

"It was around... let's see... two? Oh, no, three glasses! Just three glasses of wine." Gabrielle giggled and

extended her hand to show three fingers to Westley.

She remembered it well, so she wasn't very drunk at all.noveldrama

"Mm-hmm, three glasses. Didn't we both agree that you can't drink outside, especially with other men?

Do you recall?" Westley tried to tone his deep voice down. He didn't intend to scold her. I

Gabrielle was busted.

He did tell her that and they made a deal, but she couldn't admit it nght now. She would try to use

alcohol as an excuse.

"Honey, I'm not sure, but I'd like to dip in the hot spring bath, can we?" Gabrielle immediately changed

the topic.

She didn't want Westley to ask her about it again and again. She would feel guilty if he did.

Gabrielle thought that Westley would get mad at her for drinking, but it turned out he was settling

accounts with her.

Drinking made her feel a little bad, but she went ahead and did it anyway because she knew Westley

was watching her. Whatever happened, Westley would come to the rescue.

She had no idea when she had become so dependent on Westley, but she trusted him with everything.

If Westley wasn't around, she wouldn't have taken a single drop of alcohol.

"As you wish." Nevertheless, Westley couldn't refuse her, so he picked her up

Each building had its own little hot spring in the back. There were small walls and very shady green plants, forming a natural barrier. The private hot spring behind the building could not be seen unless guests entered through the front door.

It was a great spot for couples or families to spend their holiday there, since they could relax in a private hot spring bath.

Westley gently lifted her up and put her on the deck chair.

"Wow, the water must be incredibly relaxing." Gabrielle was in awe. Her inner child had awakened again. She stood up by the spring and stared at the misty steam.

Novo Resort was popular because of its hot springs, so it was the main attraction. They should savor this opportunity and enjoy bathing.

"Wait here, I'll grab us some towels and bathrobes." Westley then turned around and walked back into the room.
