Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 Regard You As A Backup

Gabrielle had always avoided speaking or hearing about Nellie.

Her sudden interest in wanting to hear about Nellie baffled her now. Or was it the feeling of wanting to know moro about one’s enemy in order to defeat 721?

“I really have nothing good to se about Nellie.” Michelle said finally Well, she always acts as though she better than everyone else and as a tough the whole world revolves around her and her ideas. Such detestable bacter!” She couldn’t help but compus about Nellie.

And for about thirty minutes, all Michelle could say about the other woman was negative as she had promised Gabrielle earlier.

This surprised Gabrielle who didn’t expect that Michelle would detest Nellie this much

“I’m just so grateful my cousin didn’t end up with that woman. There’s nothing

good about her. She’s only pretty, and nothing else. And her prettiness only makes her flirtatious. I know she was going out with several other men even while she was still engaged to Westley. I had seen her in many hotels with those men. Only God knows what she did with them there.” Michelle said, her voice thick with indignation.

Gabrielle shifted uncomfortably on her seat when she heard this. ‘If Nelliec such a selfish and flirtatious woon, does that mean Bryce is only one of her backups? a

You adore a woman and leat her as a goddess while she on! Sees you as a backup. What an \ Sony!” Gabrielle thought

She knew that bryce had loved Nellie for a very long time so that he had finally eloped with her. Yet he was not the only one in her life. She felt so sorry for him.

“Are you alright, Gabrielle? You don’t look happy. Are you upset about what I said? Was it what I said about Nellie? Okay, let’s not talk about her again. Westley did the wisest thing by breaking off his engagement to her. The man who

ends up marrying her will be a really unfortunate man. He certainly won’t be able to rest assured that the child she will give birth to is honestly his because she is such a flirtatious woman,” Michelle said, not realizing that what she said about Nellie had gotten Gabrielle seriously bothered about Bryce.

He loved Nellie so much and had always wanted to make her his wife. All he ha asked was for her to say yes to proposal..

She could see that Gabrielle still looked unhappy. “I’m sorry to hay upset you with this talk about Neli promise not to talk about her even gain,” Michelle said, raising her har@and swearing,

“It’s fine, Michle. Such unimportant people as her dan’t get me bothered. Not at all.” Gabrielle flashed a rather faint smile, shaking her head.

Although she forced the smile, Gabrielle really meant her words. Nellie was the least of her worries.

But she was really only bothered about Bryce. She feared that Nellie would break his heart with her flirtatiousness,

The thought of him getting hurt saddened Gabrielle’s heart. Bryce was her brother after all. They had lived together for more than ten years. And she loved him for many years in the past. She could not bear it if anyone broke his heart.

“You are a good person, Gabrielle.” Michelle changed the topic and continued, “What else could have attracted Westley to you? I’ve never se him care about any woman as he cares about you. In fact, he was wallmg to sacrifice me for it and ruin he pure impression of myself I had ken about two years to leave the public.” Michelle could only cethplain about this. Yet she didn’t blank Westley at all for her failure. After , it was Westley who had helped her achieve all these in the first place. So she firmly believed he could also help her regain her image as a goddess.

She was so sure about it that she could feel free to have a nice time now.

“I am so sorry that you were entangled in our affairs, Michelle,” Gabrielle apologized.

She was not a star chaser, but she knew a star had to do so much in secret to keep her image Anything less could ruin her in the twinkle of an eye.

That was the cruel price they paid to maintain their image there in the entertainment circle.

One could rise to fame at once at plummet to obscurity just as quickly. That was how things went a “the entertainment circle.

This was the reason Gabudle regretted that Westley had destyøyed Michelle’s image as a goddess @fie really felt sorry for the other lady

“Don’t bother about me. Gabrielle. I believe that Westley can help me recover my fame. Didn’t he make me famous in the first place? So don’t feel regret, Gabrielle. I’m really fine,” Michelle said with a sincere smile, rubbing Gabrielle’s shoulder.

Gabrielle glanced up at her and smiled, letting out a relaxed sigh.

“And yeah, Gabrielle, do you love cakes?

Michelle asked suddenly, standing up. “I bought two delicious cakes this morning. They are specially for you. One is made from chocolate mousse while the other is made from cheese. I’ll just take them out for you.” Michelle brought out two white cake boxes, setting them before Gabrielle.

They were fancy boxes. “Sophie, please bring us plates and forle to eat the cake,” Michelle called ou Sophie.

Michelle had already taken the cakes out of their boxes and placed them on the table when Sophie brotht the plates and forks. The cakes looked delicate and beautiful, and Michelle felt they would be delicious by jus boking at them.

“Here are the plates, Miss Bailey. Oh my goodness! These cakes are so beautiful,” Sophie said in her soft, happy voice.

“Yeah, they look very beautiful and delicious. Come eat with us, Sophie,” Michelle said in her usual innocence. She was not one who thought so much of social statuses. She believed that all people were equal and deserved good things.

“No, Miss Bailey.” Sophie said, lowering her head in embarrassment. “Just enjoy yourself. I really appreciate your kindness, but I am fine. I’ll just go back to work if there’s nothing else I can do for you here.” And with that, she hurried off. Sophie found it not proper to eat with the ladies. Having lived and worked for the Moris family for a very long time now, she had come to believe that a servant should only take instructions and not feel entitled to any form of luxury

When Michelle tried to call backSophie, Gabrielle stopped her. “Don’t bother about Sophie,” Gabrielle told her with a smile. “I’ll leave two pieces of cake for her. I think she feels more comfortable eating in the kitched

She perfectlinderstood how Sophie felt Calling her back and trying to persuade her to eat with them would make her more uncomfortable.

“I see,” Michelle said understandingly. She believed Gabrielle knew what was right.

“So why don’t you cut the cakes Michelle? I can’t wait to have a taste of them both.” Gabrielle smacked her lips

changing the topic.

Being the carefree person she was, Michelle regained composure and cut the first cake with a knife.

“Here, Gabrielle. Have some cheesecake first.” Michelle said, handing a plate of cheesecake to Gabrielle.

“Thank you, Michelle.” Gabrielle picked the piece of cake with her fork and put it into her mouth. She held it in her riduth for a second, savoring its sweetness til it melted on her tongue.

“Is it delicious, Gabrielle?” Michelle asked curiously, cutting a pies or herself and sitting down beside Cannelle.

“It’s so delicious Michelle. And it is soft, too. You’re goo . At finding delicious food, Michelle. I’m sure you will always return to this cake shop to buy more cakes,” Gabrielle said, glancing at her with a warm Smile.

Good food was an effective recipe for healing a bad mood, and all the gloominess in the heart could be cleared off by just one sweet bite.

“I’m so glad you like it. I once bought

cakes from this particular cake shop, and I loved the cakes. I’ve yet to see any other cake shop in Antawood that sells more delicious cakes. I’ll make sure to buy some more for you next time.” There was a very bright smile on Michelle’s face.

No other thing brought her great joy than sharing delicious food with her friends.
