Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 376

Wilson had been living in Italy ever since he and Bonnie got married. He had been in charge of all the Campbell family's affairs since then, and he seldom had the chance to come back.

Back when Westley and Gabrielle got married, Wilson and his wife weren't even informed of it, so Gabrielle had never met him before.

"Gabrielle, once you've had the chance to meet him, you'll know what I'm talking about. He may be handsome, but he's not as handsome as your Westley," Bonnie said half-jokingly.

Gabrielle finally understood what she meant. Bonnie was implying that her kids with Westley would be even more beautiful than Tammy.

"Bonnie, if Wilson had heard what you said, he's going to be jealous," Westley bantered.

"What's there to be jealous about? I'm only telling the truth. Your brother isn't as handsome as you are, so by that logic, your child will certainly be more beautiful than Tammy," Bonnie said in a serious tone.

Obviously, she was trying to make Gabrielle feel better. After all, Liana's harsh words earlier must've hurt her.

Fortunately, Gabrielle indeed felt better because of Bonnie. She then smiled at Bonnie as if to thank her. "Bonnie, I'll be more than satisfied if our child could become as beautiful as your Tammy,"

she said with a gentle smile.

"That's sweet of you to say that. But Tammy is of mixed race. Nobody can compare to her," Liana said in a sarcastic manner. Although she was pleased to hear Gabrielle's flattering words, she didn't want Gabrielle to have Westley's children. She thought that Gabrielle didn't deserve the right to bear the Morris' bloodline.

"What nonsense are you spouting? That's enough, Liana! We're here for a pleasant talk, and we're going to have it. Do not ruin the mood." At this point, Miley became upset.

This was supposed to be a pleasant moment, where everyone could have a good chat. Bonnie had just come back with Tammy, and Westley came back with Gabrielle. They should all be celebrating, but Liana kept on ruining the mood.

Although Liana didn't like Gabrielle, she had the utmost respect for Miley. She didn't want to anger the older woman just because of her dislike for Gabrielle.

Thus, she decided to let her off the hook for the time being.

"I'll take Tammy out to pick some flowers." Liana would rather not stay here any longer, so she invited Tammy to go out.

Meanwhile, as Bonnie took a sip of her scented tea, she glanced over at Gabrielle. "Gabrielle, I understand that you don't know mom's temper that well. She's a bit short-tempered as you can see, but she doesn't mean anything that she said. Don't take her words to heart."

It worried Bonnie that Gabrielle would be shaken by Liana's angry words and end up getting angry at Liana. After all, Liana was Westley's mother, and they must get along well.

"I'm not really mad. I understand tha

t she didn't mean any of that. Don't worry, Bonnie. I won't get angry with her." Gabrielle put on a smile to comfort her.

Although it pained her to hear what Liana said just now, she didn't want to show it to everyone else.

"Gabrielle is a very considerate lady. She won't take those words to heart. Anyway, let's all have some tasty desserts and put this little fiasco behind us, shall we?" suggested Miley. It was a good thing that Liana had excused herself.

"I don't deserve those praises, Grandma." Gabrielle blushed because of how much Miley was praising her.

"Nonsense, my dear! You deserve all the praises that come your way, and I know for a fact that our dear Westley knows that, too," Miley said with a smile.

"Of course, I do. I know her better than anyone else." Westley held Gabrielle's hand, displaying their intimacy.

"Stop it, Westley." She glanced at him, chuckling helplessly at his remark.

She knew that she wasn't as good as they thought she was.

"I'm telling the truth, my love," Westley stated with a straight face.

"Okay, you guys, that's enough. We get it! You're in love." Bonnie chuckled along, shaking her head helplessly at the loving couple.

She had long known how aloof Westley was. Perhaps he had been like that ever since the day something happened between him and Helena. It was on that day he became distant towards women.

Even after getting engaged with Nellie, that behavior never wavered. He was still so cold to his fiancée.

It worried Bonnie that Westley would end up growing old alone.

When she found out that he had gotten married with a woman she and Wilson never met before, she couldn't wait to meet this woman.

This was the reason why she came back to the country without even waiting for Wilson.

The minute she caught sight of Gabrielle, Bonnie knew why Westley had married her. Seeing the two of them together, and how Westley treated Gabrielle, she knew in that moment, that this was the woman he would love for a lifetime.

"Bonnie..."

"In the past, you and Wilson were so much like us. Every single day, I see and hear the two of you being so sweet. Consider this as my payback!" Westley joked.

Upon hearing this, Bonnie scoffed. 'I never should've worried about this guy ending up alone,' she thought to herself.

"Westley, honey, she's your sister-in-law. Be nice," Gabrielle said with a smile.

"Gabrielle, you and I are married, so you should always take my side. You have no idea how much Bonnie and Wilson were showing off their love in front of me every day back then. You can even ask Grandma, or Bonnie herself!" Westley looked over at Gabrielle with pitiful eyes.

Upon hearing this, Gabrielle felt sorry for him.

That must've been hard for him to watch.

"Didn't you also have a fiancée back then?" Gabrielle blurted out at the thought of Nellie.
