Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 598

Just a few moments after Gabrielle and Westley’s arrival at the villa, the Campbell Family’s bodyguards came bearing several well-packed boxes.

“Mr. Morris, these are gifts from Victor. They are addressed to Mrs. Morris. Are we going to take them?” The bodyguard had a questioning look on his face as he gazed at the couple sitting on the couch.

It was quite a dumb thing to ask. Gabrielle was sitting right in front of him.

“Should we, Gabrielle?” Westley turned to look at his wife and asked.

His meeting with Victor earlier today was quite intense. Despite that, Westley did not let himself lose his temper in front of Victor. He just wasn’t worth the trouble.

The meeting was already utterly vehement. Victor sending Gabrielle presents was just adding fuel to the fire. It was too much.

“Well… Honey, do you think I should? If you’re not comfortable with me taking it, we’ll have someone return it,” Gabrielle replied as she gazed at Westley with a wide grin on her face.

“Mrs. Morris, the courier mentioned that Mr. Sanderson had gone back to Ensfield. If you don’t want it, just throw it away. There’s no need to return it,” the bodyguard replied.

Gabrielle smiled at the sound of his words. She turned to look at Westley.

“Honey, did you hear that? He went back to Ensfield. If we return the gifts, wouldn’t it be inconvenient to send everything all the way over there?” She turned to look at her husband with inquiring eyes.

It was, indeed, quite inconvenient. On top of that, Westley would have to pay for the courier’s fee.

“Didn’t Victor mention that you could just throw the presents away if you don’t want them? Let’s just get rid of everything. Problem solved,” Westley said with a calm voice.

“Honey, what’s your final decision? Do we throw everything away?” he asked.

Gabrielle knew exactly what was going on in her husband’s mind. She smiled. “Alright, then. Let’s just get rid of them. Let’s have these disposed somewhere far. Out of sight, out of mind!”

Their actions weren’t unplanned. It was awful of Westley to test her. He intended to see how she would react to his suggestion of throwing the presents away. The truth was, she and Victor had nothing going on. It was totally unnecessary to spite Westley through accepting Victor’s gifts. After all, her husband was evidently the jealous type. He would miraculously materialize from thin air once he had caught ind of a potential threat. Especially more so when a man had attempted to get real close with Gabrielle. Westley’s cold, intimidating aura would certainly drive anyone away.

“Didn’t you hear what my wife said? She wants everything gone. Take these away now!” Westley commanded. His voice as dominating. In hesitation, the bodyguard turned to look at Gabrielle. The gifts were for her, after all. It was her decision to make. “Mrs. Morris, should I take them away?” the bodyguard inquired. “Yeah. Get them out of here,” she answered as she made a gesture of tossing things out. “Didn’t you hear her? The sight of those things is irritating,” Westley exclaimed coldly. “Take them away before I start regretting it,” Gabrielle said as she closed her eyes. She sounded reluctant. “Gabrielle, I’m not joking. I’m getting rid of these,” Westley couldn’t help but tease her. There was what seemed to be a look of resentment on Gabrielle’s face.

“Honey… Can we open the presents before throwing them away?” Gabrielle pleaded. She held Westley’s hand in an attempt to please him.

Her deliriously needy voice made it impossible for Westley to refuse her requ est. Besides, there was nothing wrong with taking a peek. “Did you check if the packages are safe?” Westley asked the

bodyguard.

Westley was well aware of the fact that the bodyguards had checked everything thoroughly.

“Alright. Put them down. I’ll call you if I need anything.” Finally, Westley agreed to Gabrielle’s request.

Gabrielle was dying of curiosity. She couldn’t help but wonder what was inside those packages. She had decided on donating the gifts if they were expensive. That way, nothing would go to waste. Poor children would benefit from the gifts.

“You want to see what’s inside, right? You should be the one to open them.” Westley’s face was adorned with a charming smile as he gazed at his wife’s beautiful face.

“Honey, I promise, I’m just going to take a peek. Don’t be jealous!” Gabrielle turned to look at her husband. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Okay. I’ll try not to. Anyway, I’m sure it’s nothing I couldn’t give you. In fact, I know I could do better!” Westley exclaimed.

Gabrielle knew that he was speaking of the truth. He would go above and beyond for the things she longed for. Westley was determined to give her only the best.

“My love, I know you love me. Everything you’ve ever given me was the best. I never doubted you. Not even once. Nobody could possibly compete with you.” Gabrielle leaned over and gave Westley a peck on the cheek.

Westley shook his head, insinuating that the kiss wasn’t enough. Seeing his dissatisfaction, Gabrielle immediately kissed him on the lips.

Westley grinned, looking as if his hunger had been satiated. Relief washed over Gabrielle. She was thankful that her husband wasn’t too difficult to coax. It was without a doubt that Westley’s love and affection for her were through the roof. He could never push her away. “What are you going to do once you’ve taken a peek?” Westley inquired. “I want to see everything first. If it’s worth any money, we could donate them to some charities.”

Gabrielle had decided not to accept the presents. However, she thought that it would be a pity to throw everything away. “Yeah, I also think that that is the best we could do.” Westley had always known that Gabrielle was a woman with her own thoughts. She never longed for things that weren’t rightfully hers. Neither did she like accepting things from other people. She only took things accordingly. “Let’s take a look at them together. We can donate everything. These are gifts of gratitude after all. What I want to do with his presents is totally up to me.” Gabrielle began to tear the boxes open. There were five packages. Gabrielle opened them one by one. What she saw took her by surprise. Everything was beyond expensive.

There were handbags and jewelry, diamonds and agates. Gabrielle was a novice when it came to jewelry designing. However, she knew how to put a price on things with just one glance. The presents were worth ten million, if not more. The price on these things was utterly terrifying. She wondered if that was how wealthy people gave each other gifts. “Westley, these are so expensive.” Gabrielle looked at her husband with uneasy eyes. These were worth much more than Gabrielle anticipated. How could she possibly accept or donate these things? There was no way in hell she could just let herself throw everything away. These things weren’t something one could just so easily get rid of.
