Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 382

Macy's abrupt question shocked Gabrielle, and even Bonnie who just came in.

'When did I have a child?' Gabrielle wondered.

"Macy, you misunderstood. Allow me to introduce you to Bonnie, my sister-in-law This pretty little girl right here is her daughter, Tammy." She said it that way so that she could hide the fact that she was in a relationship with Westley.

Macy didn't seem to care about that part. She just bent down to be at eye level with Tammy. "Oh, my God! Tammy is a mixed race girl? She's so beautiful! I'm so envious of you, Gabrielle. You have an elder brother, a beautiful foreigner sister-in-law, and an adorable niece of mixed blood. Life really gave you the jackpot, huh? Did you save the world in your previous life or something? Is that why you have such good luck?"

Macy's reaction amused Gabrielle, and she patted her hand. "Macy, it's kind of hard to respond to your questions. Anyway, I need to get some air."

Gabrielle led Bonnie and Tammy outside, so that she could speak to them easier.

"I'm sorry about that, Bonnie. She's actually my classmate in college, and she's the daughter of this bakery's owner. She's always so straightforward. If she said something that upset you, please forgive her this once. She didn't mean any of it," Gabrielle explained hurriedly.

"Oh, that's right. I seem to recall that you're majoring in jewelry designing, right? Why are you working for a bakery? Are you planning to be a baker now, or are you just short on cash? Does Westley know about this?" asked Bonnie.

She really cared about Gabrielle, because she was very fond of her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't care about what Gabrielle was doing.

"Bonnie, he doesn't know about it yet. Could you please keep this a secret? I'm not really short on cash. I just wanted to learn how to bake a cake, and I wanted to make one for him this Christmas," explained Gabrielle.

Once Bonnie had heard this, she understood why. Her eyes dimmed, and she seemed to be in deep thought. "Gabrielle, do you have anything to do later?" asked Bonnie.

"I'm actually almost done. What's up, Bonnie?" Gabrielle could tell from the look on her face that she must have something to talk about.

"It's almost time for dinner. Would you like to have dinner with us?" Bonnie said with a smile.

Thus, Gabrielle didn't refuse. "Sure, Bonnie. But could you and Tammy wait for a moment? I just need to change my clothes."

"Sure, go ahead. Tammy and I will wait for you right here,"

said Bonnie, holding Tammy's hand.

"It's a little cold outside. Come on in. You can wait for me in here. I'll be quick." Gabrielle took one look at the weather outside. It was cold in Antawood right now. Letting the two of them wait outside would only make her feel guilty.

"Okay," replied Bonnie.

"Macy, can you stay with them here? I'm just going to change my clothes for a moment," said Gabrielle.

"Sure, go ahead. I'll look after them," said Macy. She was more than happy to look after Tammy.

Gabrielle went upstairs to change her clothes. Minutes later, she went back down, and found that Macy managed to get closer to Tammy by offering the little girl a piece of cake. They were having a friendly and happy conversation.

"Bonnie, I'm done changing. Come on, let's go." Gabrielle approached her w

ith a box of cake in hand.

This was the cake she had successfully baked today. It was a stroke of luck that she could share it with them today.

"Let's go."

"Macy, we've got to go."

Having said that, Gabrielle went out with them, and found a good restaurant nearby. After the peak dining period, they ate in a small private room.

"Bonnie, what would you and Tammy like to eat? Order something for yourselves," Gabrielle said, handing her a menu.

"Gabrielle, you can order anything. Tammy isn't a picky eater, and she enjoys eating food here in the country," Bonnie stated.

Tammy was a good girl, and she wasn't picky about food. She was certainly lovable.

Gabrielle even had a thought that she shouldn't have. 'If my child can be this well-behaved and smart in the future, I'm going to be very happy.'

A well-behaved child could lessen the stress of anyone, and would free them from worries.

"You're such a lovely and clever child. You really are adorable!" Gabrielle felt very envious of Bonnie.

"Thank you, little mommy," said Tammy.

The more she looked at Tammy, the more she liked her.

"I'm sure the child you'll have with Westley in the future will be very adorable and lovely too," said Bonnie.

Gabrielle felt a little embarrassed to hear that. Bonnie always spoke her mind, so it was inevitable that she would feel embarrassed.

"It's hard to say what'll happen in the future, Bonnie." Gabrielle didn't want to speak about it, so she tried to avoid the topic.

"Gabrielle, do you know when Westley's birthday is?" Bonnie responded, trying to change the topic.

Gabrielle was a little surprised to hear her bring this up, and then she looked at her straight in the eye. "Bonnie, please don't tell him about this. I don't have anything else to give him aside from the cake that I will make for him, myself. I wanted to surprise him."

Upon hearing her say that, Bonnie's heart sank. It took her a while before she finally managed to speak. "You're very thoughtful, Gabrielle. I'm sure Westley will be very happy to receive your gift."

"Bonnie, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Why does Westley not like to celebrate his birthday?" asked Gabrielle.

Westley had avoided talking about his birthday several times.

It obviously meant that he didn't like his birthday.

"Gabrielle, I think you have the right to know about it." Bonnie finally managed to squeeze out those words after a moment of hesitation.

"What's going on?" Judging from her tone, whatever it was that happened wasn't so simple. Gabrielle could tell as much.

"Gabrielle, do you know Helena?" Bonnie asked without hesitation.

Truthfully, it was forbidden for the members of the Morris family to speak of Helena, especially in front of Westley. Bonnie guessed that he wouldn't mention the woman to Gabrielle either.

Naturally, Gabrielle had no idea what had happened to Helena.

When she heard of Helena, it made her nervous for some reason. The name alone had a great impact on her.

She had heard a lot about this woman before, but she knew very little about her. And she never heard what had happened between her and Westley in detail.

"Bonnie, I've heard of Helena. Do you know what happened between her and Westley?" Gabrielle asked with a straight face.
