Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 617

Mrs. Morris could not help but stroll around the villa Mr. Morris bought her as a gift. She was on top of the world then.

The villa’s interior was quite exquisite, modern, not complicated, and fancy.

Anyway, it was a highlight of Westley’s distinct feature. The decoration was his style, and Gabrielle fell in love with it.

“Gabrielle, do you love it?” Westley followed her, watching how she ran up and down blissfully. He was certain she loved it.

“The villa is close to the sea. I love it. This must be the best gift I’ve received this year. I can’t tell how much I love Mr. Morris.” Gabrielle joyfully approached him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Well, I already said it. My gift has to be the best,” Westley said in hushed tones, placing his arms around Gabrielle’s waist.

“Mr. Morris, you don’t know how thankful I am for the gift.” Gabrielle rose to her feet and kissed her spouse on the lips.

She got an enthusiastic response from Westley right away. He pressed her against the sofa next to him.

Not knowing for how long she had been sleeping, Gabrielle was woken up by the fireworks.

Gabrielle wiped her eyes and sat up. Outside the window, it was overcast. Westley lay next to her. Her movement made him wake up and sit next to his gorgeous wife.

“Westley, are those people setting off fireworks outside? What time is it?” Gabrielle looked at the fireworks from the window.

Those people were fun enthusiasts. They set off their fireworks on the sea.

“It’s not even five o’clock yet. Funny enough, most people will play all night on the holiday. They will sail to the sea and play till morning. They woke you up while they are having a good time. I should have closed the window because they wouldn’t have woken you up. That’s on me.” Westley put the blame on himself.

He hadn’t been here for a long time, so he requested staff to leave the windows open for ventilation. He hadn’t time to close them in the evening.

“It’s all good. It’s entertaining to see people light off fireworks on the sea. The view of it is dazzling.” Although sleepy, Gabrielle didn’t want to sleep any longer. She just wanted to watch the sky get lit up with fireworks from the window. “Let’s go back to bed, honey. It’s still very early,” Westley said, holding her little body in his arms. “I can’t go back to sleep. I’m better off watching the fireworks by the window.” Gabrielle wrapped herself in a blanket, then walked towards the window.

Westley closed the window and turned on the air conditioner. Luckily, it was not cold last night, and the two had made some hot love. With that, there was no way they’d have felt cold.

“Then let’s watch together.” Westley sat with his wife in his arms as they watched the fireworks. “It’s so silent now. Only fireworks lit in the dark hours before dawn can light up so brightly and amazingly,” Gabrielle said softly, leaning against his chest. “Hey, do you have something on your mind?” Westley inquired in a low pitch, raising the bangs on Gabrielle’s brow. “As far as I know, Mrs. Jones dislikes fireworks. She said that they are nasty and disturbingly clamorous.

Due to that, I’d look for Sloane, then we’d buy small fireworks and go to the river. We set off our tiny fireworks from the river, while we watched other kids set off bigger ones. That turned us envious then. We agreed to buy big ones when we grow up, set them off from the river, and make the others deal

with the jealousy. It’s just too bad that she never got the chance to watch the fireworks with me this year,” Gabrielle said in a low voice. That was the best memory of her and Sloane.

There was no way she’d ever forget that. Westley understood the importance of Sloane in Gabrielle’s life. They had grown up together, and Sloane was the part of her life that no one would ever separate her from. “Get her next year, and you guys can go buy a truck full of fireworks. That will definitely make others envious.” Westley coaxed her and kissed her on the forehead. “Okay.” They sat there as they watched the fireworks and the sun rise.

“Isn’t it amazing to watch the sun come up with someone you love? We should all look forward to being happy from this day on.” Gabrielle smiled sweetly at her husband.

“I don’t need anything or anyone else to make me happy. You are enough happiness for me already,” Westley said romantically.

Gabrielle laughed at that. “I’ll go nowhere. I’ll forever stick by your side.”

“All my life, I’ve never seen such an amazing sunrise.” Westley sighed.

Westley had not grown to be sentimental. So he was not a big fan of sightseeing to watch the sunrise and sunset.

But with Gabrielle, the feeling was different. She’d make a vague scene look beautiful before his eyes.

“I’ve also never seen a sunrise like this one,” Gabrielle said.

After watching the sun come up, the two lovers packed up and drove back to Half Moon Bay.

The moment she stepped out of the car, she saw Sophie coming out, and with her was Blackboo, who was in a very light mood. When he saw Gabrielle come out of the car, he became excited. He was at

her feet within the blink of an eye.

“Woof, woof, woof…” Blackboo barked and circled around her feet in excitement.

“Happy holiday, Blackboo.” Gabrielle bent down and caressed his head.

“Woof!”

“Mr. Morris, Mrs. Morris, you came back so soon. Star has not woken up yet.” Sophie was surprised to see the two when she came out.

She expected them to come back very late. That was quite the opposite. “Happy holiday, Sophie. Thank you for looking after Star for the night. How did he behave himself last night?” Gabrielle asked Sophie. “Star was well-behaved last night. He made no noise. Since he hasn’t woken up, I went downstairs and made breakfast.” Sophie liked Star very much.

Star was mindful enough not to cause problems. People felt sorry and just didn’t comprehend how mindful he was at such a tender age. Sophie had stayed with Star in his room for the whole of the previous night. She slept on the sofa to keep an eye on him in case he woke up in the middle of the night, felt uneasy, or something else. Unexpectedly, he slept obediently and hadn’t woken up yet. “Alright, I’ll see Star upstairs.” Gabrielle walked into the room, letting go of Blackboo. When she got to Star’s room, he was still in a deep, quiet sleep. That might have been unusual for Gabrielle,

so she worried and touched his forehead to feel his temperature. It was normal. A t least, she’d feel a little at ease by doing this. She worried that a fever might have made him not wake up. “Morning, mom.” Star woke up subliminally, opened his sleepy eyes, and saw Gabrielle. He then called her mom happily. “Good morning, Star. How did you sleep last night?” Gabrielle smiled softly at Star and kissed him on his forehead. “I slept well, mom,” Star said. “Star, first wake up. Then mom will take you to the bathroom.” When Westley came in and noticed that Star had awoken, he inquired about his condition.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
