Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 373

Bonnie's trick always worked on Miley, mostly because the latter had always been fond of her.

Although Bonnie was born into a wealthy family, she was always modest and gentle - especially in front of Miley.

That was the reason why she didn't disagree when Wilson decided to manage the Campbell's business after they got married in Italy.

After all, Bonnie and Wilson were crazy about each other, and Bonnie respected the elders of the Morris family.

The couple would visit them several times a year, which was enough for Miley.

"You always know the right thing to say to please me," Millie playfully complained and patted Bonnie's hand.

"Great-grandma, look. This is the gift little mommy bought for me. It's my favorite Barbie dolls! Do you see the princess dress she bought for me? It's so beautiful. I love it." Tammy showed the dolls to Miley, bouncing on the spot.

Miley looked at the dolls and beamed with joy at how adorable the little one was. She leaned forward and gently stroked Tammy's head. "It seems like Gabrielle really likes you."

"Yes, I like her, too." Tammy glanced at Gabrielle and smiled.

"Grandma." Gabrielle and Westley walked up to Miley.

"Gabrielle, have you been eating properly? God, look at you! You have lost too much weight!" Miley's brows furrowed as she looked at Gabrielle up and down.

Gabrielle looked at herself and smiled. "No, grandma. I've actually gained weight lately."

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm blind? I don't see an ounce of fat in your body. It's obvious you have lost weight. Have you been too busy, or is it because Westley hasn't been taking good care of you? If he is not looking after you, better move here. I will make all your favorite dishes every day and make sure you gain weight soon. Before you know it, you will become a plump girl. I promise," Miley said intently.

Gabrielle smiled. She didn't want to be a plump girl.

"Grandma, I'm fine, really. I've been eating healthy, nutritious food every day. I haven't lost weight," she explained.

"Grandma, Gabrielle isn't lying. She doesn't put on weight easily." Westley tried helping her, but it didn't seem to work.

"I am sure she has lost some weight. Are you not taking good care of her?" Miley thought it was all Westley's fault.

"You are right, Grandma. It's all my fault. I haven't been taking proper care of her. I should have made her eat more." Westley shook his head.

"I knew it. It's all because of you. If you can't take good care of Gabrielle, she can move and live with me,'" remarked Miley.

"Grandma, I'm fine. I don't have to move in here," Gabrielle refused right away.

Miley was only kidding. She didn't want her to move into their house. After all, how would she have a great-grandchild if Gabrielle lived with her?

"I know. I obviously don't want you two to be apart. But I wa

nt to know why you have to move to Half Moon Bay? Why can't you just stay at Vineyard Villa?" Miley asked.

Westley had been living in the Vineyard Villa for a long time, and Neil was in charge of the place.

Now, Gabrielle and Westley moved to Half Moon Bay, which was just an old villa that had been vacant for five years without any furniture or decorations. They had to buy everything from scratch.

Besides, Westley and Helena had planned to move there first. Although that never happened, Miley didn't think it was a good place for Westley and Gabrielle to start their life together.

It didn't feel right for Gabrielle to live there. Miley couldn't understand what Westley was thinking. She felt it was a bad decision.

But Sophia had told her that Gabrielle enjoyed living there and also cleaned the yard and villa by herself.

She had planted some flowers and vegetables, transforming the villa into a vibrant abode.

Hearing that, Miley didn't protest further. After all, nothing mattered as long as Gabrielle was happy there.

Miley wanted Gabrielle to be happy and content.

"Grandma, we enjoy living there. I picked out flowers and planted them myself. It feels good." Gabrielle grinned happily.

Miley smiled in return; she was relieved to hear that.

"I'm glad you are happy there. Let's go inside." Miley glanced at her and went into the house.

Bonnie and Tammy walked inside hand in hand, followed by Gabrielle and Westley. On their way inside, Gabrielle looked at Westley with concern and worry in her eyes. "I don't think grandma is happy with us living in Half Moon Bay."

"It's okay. Don't worry about it!" Westley smiled reassuringly.

"I know. I'm just worried that Grandma might be upset about it." Gabrielle was a sensitive person. She grew up as an adopted daughter and was careful about the things she did and said. Therefore, she had gotten accustomed to worrying about what people thought of her.

She was afraid that the Jones family would hate her for her wrong doings.

"She won't. Both the Vineyard Villa and Half Moon Bay belong to me. You are my wife; you can live wherever you want. Grandma is just worried that you might not be comfortable there. It had been vacant for a long time, after all," Westley calmly explained.

The villa in Half Moon Bay had been uninhabited for five years. It wasn't furnished or decorated, and no one had lived there so far. If it hadn't been for the accident, they wouldn't have moved in there so fast.

"You seem to have a lot of properties!" Gabrielle shrugged.

She wasn't surprised that someone like Westley, who owned several limited edition cars, possessed many properties all around the city.

"Just a few. I'll ask Alvin to make a list for you so that you'll know how many assets your husband has. After all, they are yours too," said Westley.
