Chapter 231 Getting Tricked Again

Gabrielle quietly walked with Westley in front of the room. Dimly lit, the faint yellow lights of the corridor softly glimmered on them, casting their shadows at their backs.

Gabrielle was so cruel a while ago that it felt like she would not mind burning the whole place down. But the moment she stepped outside, her coldness and ruthlessness vanished into thin aifo What happened back there was enough to make her suddenly change colors. Timidly and uneasily. She looked at Westley with consideration

She had done the most overbearing and crazy thing of her life just some moments ago. Feeling awkward, Gabrielle again shuddered, thinking about the hug and the kiss she forced on Westley. ‘I went too far. Westley must be

so shocked. Maybe, upset too.’

She didn’t want to think about how Westley perceived her behavior earlier.

But she couldn’t seem to stop herself either. “Maybe, I am a shameless and pemissive woman for him, now.’ Gabrielle felt upset by this thought. This wasn’t how she wanted things to turn

“Westley. I… I just…” Gabrielle stuttered, trying to explain herself in words. But soon, she realized, it was too hard to give reasons for an uninvited kiss. Also, she didn’t know what to say at all.

“If you want to say something, Gabrielle, then don‘t falter.” Gabrielle’s healant expression and shy, stuttering lips nade her look like a cute kitten. Westley could see that she wasn’t Nomineering anymore.

‘Is she bipolar or Something? How can she switch between polar opposite personalities in just a blink?

She was so tyrannical before that I thought she’d blow Estelle’s head off. And now she can’t even speak well out of nervousness!

“I…” Finally, mustering up every ounce of courage in her, Gabrielle started speaking, “I’m sorry, Westley. But I swear, I kissed you only to imitate Estelle! I

didn’t want to annoy you. Please, don’t be angry with me at that!” Gabrielle tried to put on a sweet smile, masking her embarrassment.

Her smile stretched across her face as she lifted the corners of her mouth. Raising her eyebrows along. Gabrielle looked overloaded with cuteness. Firstly, no one could stand being angry in front of her cute face. Secondly, who said that Westley was angry? It was rare for Gabrielle to take the initiative and come closer, and Westley was glad that she did. But of course, he would never show her his true feelings.

“Well, how would you make it up to me if I was to be angryz Westley was in a good mood, trying to gain some benefits from her by playing along.

“In that case, how about I take you to a restaurant and treat you to dinner tonight?” Gabrielle Smiled brightly. coming up with an excellent place to invite Westley for dinner.

For Gabrielle, that place offered delicious food at a suitable price. The beautiful scenery around there was a plus point, making her believe that Westley would

like it.

“Well, okay. But where are we going?” Secrets are always appealing to human curiosity. So, Westley was naturally interested to know about the restaurant Gabrielle had in mind.

“It’s a secret. You’ll find out soon.” Smiling proudly, Gabrielle shrugged and walked towards the car.

“A secret, huh?

Well, okay then. Let it be.

A little surprise won’t hurt, after all.” Westley smiled inwardly N

Looking at her watch, Gabrielle excitedly got into the car with Westley. It was already eight o’clock, the best time to go there.

“Mr. Hughes, take us to Lane Island.” Gabrielle showed the way to Alvin, who revved the car engine right after she finished speaking

Lane Island was a famous food spot in Antawood. It was near a fishing village, along the river of Antawood. After fishing was prohibited, the fishermen opened food stalls and supper restaurants here. So, for foodies, this place became a partial paradise at night. Because only they knew about such a cheap place that rich people weren’t aware of.

“Miss Jones, you know that place, too?” Being surprised at her words would be an understatement for Alvin. He knew this place because his primary school was nearby. But Alvin never took Gabrielle as someone who had been there.

“Yes, I know. I’m a foodie, after all.’ Gabrielle smiled awkwardly.

‘Well, it’s not a secret any NôvelDrama.Org content.

However, as she realizePthe amazement in Alvin’s voice, Gabrielle Suddenly became a bit worried. It was true that Lane Island had many crowded food stalls, rich with choices. But, even though the

management was a lot better now, Gabrielle wasn’t sure whether it would level Westley’s standards or not. He had always lived in luxury. Even when he traveled, he went to five-star hotels, and the meals he had were all delicacies.

Gabrielle felt uneasy, thinking about the mistake she had just made. ‘Why am I so stupid for suggesting a place like that?” How can i forget Westley’s elegant lifestyle?’ “Uhh, Mr. Hughes, I have a change of mind. Let’s go somewhere else. Choose a more elegant western restaurant for us, please.” Gabrielle immediately reversed her decision.

“No, let’s stick to Lane Island!” Westley abruptly said, his facial expressions as calm as ever.

‘Do they both take me as some God who doesn’t eat? Are they the only ones who have a hunger motive? Or do they think that I’ve never been to a food stall?” “Mr. Morris?” AN was surprised, looking at Westley from the rearview

mirror.

“Westley. The restaurants there are all small food stalls, offering cheap food that might not suit your taste. Are you sure you want to go there?” Gabrielle asked him uneasily.

“You chose to go to Lane Island, Gabrielle. And you can’t just randomly alter your decision. Well, you can invite

me to Western food next time. But right now,” Westley looked at her and continued, “we’re going to Lane Island.” Westley faked a cold tone.

In Westley’s middle school days, his elder brother Wilson often took him to Lane Island to eat. Westley’s stomach was sensitive to heavily seasoned and greasy food, which always made him sick. But Wilson’s happy face made Westley come along every time. Wilson didn’t look like himself, the noble eldest son of the Morris family, when he happily savored the food these so, for Wilson’s

satisfaction, ‘Westley accompanied his elder brother, which wasn’t a big deal. Dwas just a stomachache, and afto taking medicine, Westley became fine

When Wilson went abroad after graduation, Westley stopped coming there. It has been ten years now. I wonder how the place has changed.” Westley recalled how Lane Island looked back then.

And, since Gabrielle suggested going there, Westley had no reason to refuse.

“Okay. I’ll invite you to a western restaurant next time. But don’t leave today if you don’t like it.” Gabrielle gave a wamning look

After a while, as her own words rang ini her head, Gabrielle could see herself stupidly tricked by Westley again. “Now, I have to treat him to another meal? That too, a western one?’

“Westley, I am already inviting you to supper today. Do I really have to buy you Western food too?” Gabrielle looked at him regrettably. “You promised yourself.” Shrugging. Westley crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back. He closál his eyes, Testing comfortably.

“But, I didn’t…”

“Be honest with your words, Gabrielle. Don’t say things that you can’t, or don’t want to do,” Westley said seriously, his eyes still closed.

Gabrielle silently rolled her eyes at Westley. But still, she knew she was willing to treat him a couple more times. After all, he had helped her teach Estelle a lesson. It was a kind act for Gabrielle making her feel like she owed him.

“Westley, what are you going to do with Estelle? How long will you keep her locked up?” Gabrielle asked as her thoughts trailed towards Estelle’s case.

“Well, for now, there’s no update from the Johnson family. So, we can talk about it after they start a furor. But… are you feeling sony for her?” With his eyes closed, Westley felt relaxed. He was in a good mood

“Suppose, the Johnson family comes and asks for her. What will you do? Will you let her go? Benny knows that youphave locked Estelle up.” Gabriello” wasn’t worried about Estelle. What bothered her more, was that there were high chances of Benny and the Johnson family working together to go against Westley.

For him, the cooperation between them wouldn‘t be helpful or enjoyable in any

way.

“Benny cannot prove that I have Estelle, since he doesn’t have any evidence. So, I can say, he won’t reach out to me and ask me to release her unless he doesn’t want the Hall family to live in Antawood anymore. Nevertheless, I think Benny likes Sloane more than Estelle. So, he

chap 231 C-ting Tricked gam might not try to meddle. At least, for Sloane’s sake.” – Westley said comfortably.

Gabrielle glanced at him. Under the light of the street lamps that occasionally flashed on his face as the car drove past them, she could see a trace of inadvertent laziness on Westley’s handsome face. His calmness made him look like a lone wolf, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

Westley was like the Alpha of a wolf pack. Controlling everything he desired. he wasn’t the one who took careless steps. Even in Estelle’s case he was aware that for what and whet, he had to take which step. “If…” Gabrielle started after a while. “1 mean, if, by any chance, Benny asks you to negotiate, can you ask him to tell you the location of Sloane’s mother’s grave? The reason why Sloane didn’t leave Benny’s side is that he is the only one who knows the location of her mother’s grave. I want to give Sloane a gift when she wakes up. So…” Gabrielle trailed off, staring at Westley’s face.

And just as Gabrielle was taking in every

detail of his face, Westley suddenly opened his eyes, looking directly into her eyes with his dark orbs. It was so sudden that Gabrielle didn’t get the time to look away. She was held captive by his mere
