Lock You In My Heart Chapter 579

The villa Slater had rented temporarily for them was located in a high-end resort area, which had beautiful scenery.

There were many villas in Thailand that were open for rent for high-class tourists to spend their vacations conveniently. The environment here was not only friendly and beautiful but also there was a full set of security system. This way, one could both enjoy the vacation at ease and feel ensured about safety as they rested.

After a general tour around the place, Gabrielle was satisfied with the villa.

For a temporary stay, this place was more than nice enough.

After that, Gabrielle wrote down a list of what she needed and handed it to Slater. Then, Slater and Remy drove to the supermarket while Gabrielle was urged by Westley to go upstairs so that she could have a rest.

She was forced to lie down on the bed, but she was not sleepy at all. With wide eyes, she said with a pout, “Westley, it’s okay. I’m not very tired. In fact, I wanted to go to the supermarket by myself so that we can buy some clothes to change. After all, we left in a hurry and didn’t bring anything with us.”

Perhaps it was because she had been outside while going back and forth the whole day that she felt hyperactive. There was no way she could sleep like this.

“How could you not be tired? Be good. It’s five o’clock now. You have to at least sleep for an hour. When Slater comes back with ingredients, I will wake you up so that we can cook dinner together. You need energy since Wilson and Bonnie will also come tonight to have dinner with us. Tomorrow night, they will go back to Antawood. After dinner, we can go to the mall nearby to buy things we need, okay?” Westley persuaded patiently.

Westley’s attitude towards her now was as if he was coaxing a child, which amused Gabrielle.

“Wait, Wilson and Bonnie will come here tonight? But I thought they were still on their honeymoon trip.” Gabrielle’s expression looked curious.

She had thought that the two would go back to Antawood directly from their honeymoon trip for the national holiday. She didn’t expect that they would come back here instead.

“Bonnie misses Tammy, so they ended their honeymoon trip early, just in time to have dinner with us tonight. We had planned that we would return to Antawood with them together, but now based on the situation here, it seems impossible. I’m sorry, Gabrielle, we may have to delay our return again.” Westley really felt sorry for Gabrielle, thinking that she would be disappointed.

“Westley, don’t say that. It’s not your fault and it doesn’t really matter. After all, who would have known that something like this would happen to Nellie? We can’t predict what would happen in the future or change what had already happened. Since there’s nothing we can do, we can only stay here a bit longer. We can go back any time when Nellie wakes up and her condition has stabilized.” Gabrielle wasn’t actually upset or disappointed at all. All she felt was concern for Nellie and the baby.

She had experienced a lot of things in her life, including the problems she had to deal with when she got to the Jones family. All of these experiences gave her a gentle, reasonable and tolerant temperament.

She held the belief that “when life gives you lemon, you have no choice but to make lemonade.” “God sent you to my side and that’s more than enough for me. For that, I will always be grateful to him and I can endure whatever he has to offer in my life. I won’t blame him,” Westley muttered while looking at Gabrielle in the eye emotionally. “It’s the same for me, too.” Gabrielle agreed and lay in his arms happily. She really felt thankful towards God for sending this man to her. Due to this, she didn’t feel much resentment about twenty years she spent while suffering.

“So, can you just close your eyes and have a good sleep now? Mrs. Morris?” Westley raised his eyebrows and asked in a gentle tone. “On one condition though. I can take a nap if you sleep with me,” Gabrielle said, put her arms around his waist and playfully trapped him before pressing her face closer to him, feeling the other’s breathing brushed over her. “Okay then, I’ll sleep with you.” Westley kissed her forehead and held her tighter, patting her head gently. Perhaps it was because she was indeed too tired, or maybe she felt at ease in Westley’s arms, Gabrielle fell asleep soon.

Never taking his eyes off of the woman who was sleeping soundly in his arms, Westley’s heart softened. Westley slept with her for an hour as he promised, then he carefully pried off her hands around his waist and got up. Seeing that she didn’t seem to have been woken up by his movements, he felt relieved and went downstairs to prepare dinner. Slater and Remy had come back from shopping. In addition to buyin g the things Gabrielle asked for, they also bought wine and some snacks for tonight. “Is Gabrielle still sleeping?” taking a look at Westley, Remy asked. He was sitting in the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand.

He bought the coffee beans from the supermarket and made the coffee himself with the coffee machine in the villa. He didn’t expect that the coffee machine would be quite productive since the coffee it made was good. However, he had to admit that it was not as good as what Gabrielle made.

“Yes, she is still sleeping. Maybe she is too tired. I want her to sleep a little longer. When the dinner is ready, help me call her to get up for dinner,” Westley answered with a doting look on his face.

Remy observed this rare expression of his with an amused look on his face. He felt that as a man, it was natural for a husband to dote on his wife.

“Alright. Would you like to have some coffee? I just made it and it tastes good, although not as good as the coffee Gabrielle makes.” Remy shook his head and raised his chin at Westley.

Scoffing, Westley said proudly, “If it’s not as good as the coffee my wife makes, I will have to make a pass.”

“Fine, don’t drink then. You ungrateful bastard.” Remy rolled his eyes at him as he felt a bit offended.

Westley ignored him and went straight to the kitchen to check the ingredients. He intended to get the ingredients prepared ahead.

After a while, he had finished and was washing his hands when Slater came in and informed, “Mr. Morris, just as we suspected, the maid met someone in private. I inquired about it and got the information that she was threatened by the Collins family a few days ago with the life of her family. That was why she agreed to do as they ordered. They also promised her that they would give her one million for this. I found it out through the maid’s account, where there remained the receipt of Mrs. Collins’s overseas account.” Slater handed a file to Westley which included the evidence of the transaction.

“One million just for an unborn life? They are really generous.” Westley chuckled and mocked sarcastically. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Has the news of the miscarriage been released as we planned?” Westley asked coldly.

“Yes, we have let it out. The Collins family must have known by now because they already have released the maid’s family from under their watch. Slater informed calmly. “That’s good. Now, we just need to wait for them to fall into our trap. How about the new place I asked you to look for Nellie?” Westley asked distractedly as he pondered about something silently. “Yes, I have found it. It’s an absolutely safe place since it’s isolated. This time, I will personally find someone trustworthy to take care of Miss Collins.

” Slater promised determinedly. He knew how serious the accident was this time and he couldn’t let such thing happen to Nellie again. If something like this happened again, not only the child’s life but also Nellie’s life would be in danger. “Slater, you have to be careful. No matter what, make sure both Nellie and the baby are safe before she’s due,” nodding, Westley said coldly. Mrs. Collins went to the extreme this time. Not to mention that Nellie was her own daughter. Now that her first daughter had died, had she lost it and wanted to kill her only daughter to die? This was simply ridiculous and insane.

She wouldn’t even let go of an unborn child, which was also her blood. Westley was beyond frustrated as well as he had to involve in the matter he didn’t want to care at all. However, he was a man of his word, so he would protect Nellie like he had promised to Helena. He didn’t really care about who wanted to murder whom or if the whole Collins family would go down due to their own animosity to each other. His only intention relied on protecting Nellie and the baby. “I will, Mr. Morris. Don’t worry. I will handle it properly.” Slater understood what he meant and took the task seriously.

“Assign more men to keep an eye on Nellie during her time in the hospital. Don’t let anything happen to her.” After Westley looked through the file, he handed it back to Slater. “About Mrs. Collins’s overseas bank account, find someone to hack into it. Check the money transfer records and see if they have been evading taxes. If they have, print it out and send it to the authority anonymously. It looks like they have nothing better to do than trying to harm somebody. So, I might as well find something to keep them occupied. They don’t need to worry because this is just the start.” With a faint sinister smile on his face, Westley instructed calmly. Everybody working for him knew that he was the most terrifying when he was annoyed. “I’ll do it right away, Mr. Morris.” Slater acknowledged and left hurriedly with the file.
