Lock You In My Heart

Among Westley's friends, the one who desired for marriage the most turned out to be Alexis, who was the wildest. In other people's perspective, he was the most unlikely person to own the thought of settling down. So, this was beyond Gabrielle's expectation.

Especially when he asked her about any single girl she knew, she felt a little awkward and didn't really know what to say. "Alexis, I'm afraid I can't help you," Gabrielle replied while rubbing her nose in embarrassment

"Gabrielle, does this mean all the friends you know had already been married?" Alexis asked disappointedly.

He had thought that since Gabrielle was young, her friends should be at the same age as her as well. After all, few girls got married in their early twenties. 7

Therefore, he asked for such a request, thinking he had a great chance. Now, hearing what Gabrielle said, he immediately got upset. It seemed that there was no chance for him.

"It's not like that. Although they are my best friends, I don't pay much attention to their private affairs since I respect their privacy. No matter how close we are, it still can't be violated. Just like when I married Westley, I didn't tell them at first until everything became settled. Hence, if they don't want to talk to me about their personal relationship, I don't usually pursue it further. So, I can't say if they are all singles or not," Gabrielle explained calmly as she expressed her opinion on boundaries.

She was willing to help if she could, but she really had no idea what to do.

"I understand now, but could you help me publicize myself then? Who knows, there could a girl who's available and willing to have a casual talk with me. At that time, you can tell her my WhatsApp ID. How about that?" Alexis was quick-witted and adaptable to the circumstances.

Gabrielle couldn't help grinning about how desperate and serious he was about this. Since he was like this, it wouldn't be nice if she rejected it.

"Okay, I'll help you with it. But I have to wam you not to get your hope too high. You shouldn't expect too much for the result, lest it doesn't work out." Gabrielle nodded and intentionally gave Alexis a non-committal reply. She simply decided to give it a try at least. -

"Really? Gabrielle, thank you very much. No matter what the result is, I'm looking forward to it!" Alexis was the type of person who had a liberal attitude towards things in life. No matter what the result would be, as long as he had given it a go, he would feel satisfied.

"I'll do it for you tonight."

Gabrielle gave him a smile. She also hoped Alexis could find a good girl with this chance.

She had enough confidence in several of Westley's friends being all good men like him. Even though they had different

personalities, they were equivalently kind-hearted after all.

If her friends married any of them, she would be very happy.

"Gabrielle, I know you are excited about your first time acting as a matchmaker, but it's cold outside. Let's go back to the room and continue talking about it there, alright?" Westley held her hand and spoke up only now. He didn't want to disturb her since she was animatedly chatting with Alexis. However, it was too chilly outside and so, it wasn't good to stay here for a long time. He didn't want her to catch cold.

It was too easy for people to get sick in such a freezing weather. Moreover, if it happened, she wouldn't be able to have enough fun in this city.

"Right, it sure is cold. Let's go back." Alexis agreed and prepared to return.

When the four returned to the villa, they could instantly smell the aroma of the coffee made by Joseph. It was particularly attractive. ~

"Joseph, are you making coffee? It smells pretty good." Gabrielle sniffed at the air, looking extremely pleased.

The fragrance of the coffee was Gabrielle's favorite. She liked it very much as it was refreshing.

"Yeah, I just finished making it. Come and have a taste. It warms the body." Joseph laid out a few cups and poured the coffee into them as he invited them to the bar counter.

Of course, Gabrielle was the most enthusiastic as she was the first one to run over. She picked up the coffee cup and whiffed it before nodding to herself delightedly. "Joseph, it's amazing! I can tell it just by the scent. I'll take a sip first." Gabrielle's actions were as if she was a professional as she took a sip of coffee and slowly swallowed it, savoring the aftertaste.

She told Joseph, "Sure enough, your coffee making skill is on par with that of a barista. This is wonderful. I'll drink it well." Gabrielle took another sip. Coffee was good to take while it was still hot.

Everyone sat around the sofa with the intention to chat. Obviously, Alexis wasn't still done as he restarted the subject they were talking about just now.

"Gabrielle, about the matter just now, I am not in a hurry to get married. Take your time. After all, good things don't come so easily. Relationships which happen too fast are not much good either," while reconsidering, Alexis uttered seriously.

"I know what you mean will carefully choose the girl who is suitable for you, don't worry. The thing is, what special requirements do you have as your ideal girlfriend?" Just like that, Gabrielle was exactly acting the role of a matchmaker in the modem times..

However, she couldn't help feeling that she herself didn't have much experience in dating even though she had already gotten marmied. All the knowledge she knew was all thanks to Westley who enlightened her about it. Now that she had suddenly become a matchmaker, she felt that she had a big responsibility for that and she didn't want to let Alexis down.

"Gabrielle, don't take it too seriously. In fact, there is only one requirement for being Alexis' girlfriend and that is, she just has to be pretty!" Sitting near Gabrielle, Joseph began to roast Alexis with a smug grin on his face.

Pointing at Joseph, Alexis denied exasperatedly. "Hey, buddy, don't you speak ill of me in front of me like that. Maybe you don't want to get married, but that doesn't mean I don't. And when do I have that kind of requirement? You are making me out to be a shallow person." Alexis' expression was determined and serious. He couldn't let Gabrielle misunderstand him as he tried to rebuild his positive image back.

"Are you sure you aren't? If I remember it right, when we were in school, you said that you simply had one need for your ideal girl and that is to be pretty." Jonas didn't go lightly in adding fuel to the fire. :

"Hey, hey, you can't bring that up. Haven't you heard of the saying 'Yesterday's sun can't dry today's clothes'? The past has already passed. Besides, I was a kid at that time. Who didn't dream and care about the appearance at that age? Didn't you also care?" !

How could Alexis bear getting taunted alone? Of course, he had to pull his best friends down if he was going down. After all, who didn't have the embarrassing past that shouldn't be revealed again?

They were childhood friends and had known each other for many years. Naturally, they were well aware of each other's personal

secrets and so, they had the love-hate relationship. They didn't give up the chance to tease each other by taking advantage of the past events either. "I did not!"

"Then, neither am I a shallow person!"

Westley didn't want to get involved in their childish bickering session. He even got annoyed that he wanted to take Gabrielle back to their room.

He felt that instead of listening to them here, it was more interesting to return to the room with Gabrielle and do something romantic.

At that time, Gabrielle looked at Westley mischievously and asked, "Westley, what about you?" When she didn't hear any reply

from Westley, she raised her eyebrows at him immediately.

She really wanted to know what requirements Westley had for his girlfriend in the past.

All people had to go past the Stage of being teenagers. So, as a young person, there must have always been some kind of expectations and requirements for one's partner.

Some people liked talented people, some liked good-looking people, and there were still ones who liked humorous people.

"What about me?" Westley innocently asked back in reply as he pretended not to know what Gabrielle was talking about.

"Were the beautiful girls your type as well when you were at school?" Gabrielle directly went straight to the point.

Boys usually liked charming girls who were called the school's "Class Flower" or "Campus Flower". Those types of girls were quite attractive to the boys, to the point that they were pulled into a trance when seeing those girls.
