Lock You In My Heart

After lunch, they spent time resting in the villa before heading to the flower market.

"Miss Jones, how is it you are good at this? You've done an excellent job. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. You are the daughter of the Jones, but your work in the garden rivals that of an experienced gardener." Remy was sitting on an armchair by the window, admiring Gabrielle's handiwork.

It was only a few days ago that he and Westley were here in the garden which was overrun by weeds. It was desolate and barren. Remy immediately asked Westley to find someone to clean up the property.

He didn't expect that Gabrielle, of all people, would clean it up herself today.

"Doctor Remy, please don't flatter me. I didn't do much at all. I just made use of my ability. I'm skilled at removing weeds because I've done it a lot at home. Don't treat me as a rich lady who needs others to do all her work. I'm not like them," Gabrielle said bitterly.

After all, she was just an adopted daughter of the Jones. She never got the treatment that a rich lady had.

It was more than enough for the Jones to raise her as their own. Gabrielle knew in her heart that they had done nothing wrong to her.

Even if she married Westley because of Bryce's wrongdoings, she was still willing to do anything for him.

"It's true that no one can compare with you. You are such a capable woman. Does Westley know about this?" Remy always felt with such clarity that Gabrielle was different from other girls, especially better than those who couldn't do anything but had a nasty temper.

"Westley?" After a few moments, Gabrielle came to her senses and smiled meekly. "I don't want Westley to know what's going on with me. My actions have nothing to do with him. It would be best for him to remain out of the loop and I trust you not to mention anything."

Gabrielle thought she had only done what a servant should do, which was also what Westley expected from her. After all, he had said that no idlers were allowed around him.

If Remy were to tell Westley about this, he would think that Gabrielle was deliberately asking for credit, which would make him utterly sick.

"Miss Jones...."
