Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 607

Gabrielle’s nervousness increased greatly when the car pulled up to the gate of Morris’ Mansion. She clasped her hands tightly to keep them from shaking any further.

Of course, Westley quickly noticed Gabrielle’s nervousness. He called her softly, “Gabrielle!”

“Yeah?” Gabrielle answered almost immediately. She looked at Westley as if in a daze.

“You don’t have to be nervous. This is Morris’ Mansion and you are the daughter-in-law of this family. This is your in-laws’ house, so technically speaking, this is your house. Let’s go home now, okay? There’s no reason for you to be nervous. Have you forgotten how much little Tammy and Grandma love you? It doesn’t matter what other people think of you. Focus on those who love you.” Westley held Gabrielle’s hand firmly in reassurance as he drove the car inside the mansion.

A few moments later, he parked the car in the huge courtyard of the mansion. After unbuckling his seatbelt, he leaned over and gave Gabrielle a light kiss on the forehead. “Don’t worry, Gabrielle. I’m with you. You’re part of this family. No one will dare drive you away, not even my mother.”

Westley’s words made Gabrielle burst out laughing. She realized that she was indeed too nervous. The thing was, it wasn’t the first time she had come to this mansion. The first time she came here, everyone took a dislike to her. Even Westley wasn’t on her side. She was really ostracized at the time.

At that time, she had the impression of being unwanted. No one in the Morris family seemed to like her even a little bit.

But things were different now. Grandma really liked her. Most importantly, Gabrielle had Westley by her side. So, she had nothing to worry about.

“You are right, Westley. I don’t know why I was so nervous just now.”

“I want you to never forget that I will always be with you, Gabrielle. If they dare drive you out of the house, I’ll go with you and we’ll never set foot here again unless you decide otherwise.” Westley spoke in a firm tone, which greatly reassured Gabrielle.

“Aunt Gabrielle, Uncle Westley, you are back!” The little nervousness which was still lingering in Gabrielle’s heart vanished the instant she heard the soft voice of Tammy who was coming towards them. The little girl seemed really happy to see them again.

Gabrielle quickly unfastened her seat belt and pushed the door open. Just as she got out of the car, little Tammy threw herself into her arms.

“Aunt Gabrielle, where have you been all this time? I’m super happy that you finally came back to see me. You’re going to stay with me, right? My mom and dad went on their honeymoon behind my back, and as you also left me, I was all alone. You’re really mean.” Tammy pouted when she finished speaking. She wanted to make it clear to Gabrielle that she was not happy with her.

However, upon hearing the little girl’s complaint, Gabrielle couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

She wouldn’t have thought that Tammy would be jealous.

In fact, Tammy felt that adults would rather play their games than be with her. After all, hadn’t they all abandoned her?

The little girl didn’t know that Westley and Gabrielle were actually forced to go to Bangkok, and her parents had gone to Bangkok for work.

Tammy was still very young. She didn’t need to know all that.

At this moment, Westley walked over and picked Tammy up. “You know, Tammy, Gabrielle and I are also a couple. Just like your parents, we also have to go on our honeymoon. Otherwise, how can we

give you a brother or a sister?” he said in a naughty tone.

What he said was so quick and unexpected that Gabrielle didn’t have time to stop him. She looked at him with wide eyes when he put Tammy down. Could he ever be a little serious? How could he say such a thing to a child?

“Westley, how can you say such a thing? Tammy is just a child! You should watch your tongue!” Gabrielle couldn’t help but scold Westley sternly.

Did he have no regard for the girl’s mental health?

“What’s wrong with what I said? I just told her the truth,” Westley replied with a serious face.

Gabrielle glared at him, but said nothing. Anyway, she knew it was impossible for her to win any argument with Westley.

Since she knew she couldn’t win if they argued, she thought it was bet

ter not to say anything.

“Wow, Uncle Westley, you mean there is a baby in Aunt Gabrielle’s belly now?” As she spoke, Tammy stared intently at Gabrielle’s belly. A glimmer of excitement shone in her eyes.

Hearing what the little girl said, Gabrielle felt a little bad. She looked helplessly at Tammy. “Tammy, don’t listen to your Uncle Westley. There is no baby in my belly for now.”

As soon as she said that, Westley added almost immediately, “Tammy, there is no baby in Gabrielle’s belly for the moment. But I promise you that a baby would be coming very soon. This time, you will have a brother with whom you would play often. You shall see him very soon.”

Tammy’s face lit up when she heard that she would soon have a brother. “Uncle Westley, is that true? You won’t lie to me, will you? Where is he now?”

“He is at our home. If you behave well, I’ll let you play with him tomorrow.” Westley seemed very serious at this moment, so Tammy had no choice but to believe him.

“Uncle Westley, I promise I’ll behave well. Yippee! I’m going to see my brother tomorrow. I want to play with him.” Tammy clapped her hands happily.

As a child, it was normal for her to be thrilled at the idea of playing with another child. After all, they were the same age, so they must have a lot in common.

“Okay, I’ll bring you to see him tomorrow.” Westley rubbed Tammy’s head affectionately.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle took out some gifts from the car. They were for Tammy.

“Tammy, these are the gifts your Uncle Westley and I prepared for you.” As she spoke, Gabrielle handed the gifts to Tammy.

Tammy was overjoyed at the sight of the gifts. “Thank you, Aunt Gabrielle and Uncle Westley. I wish you give birth to a little brother or sister for me as soon as possible.”

‘This girl is very smart,’ Gabrielle thought.

Westley then called someone to move all the gifts from the car into the house. Then, he held Gabrielle’s hand and they both walked inside.

The whole family was there.

It was a tradition for all the members of the Morris family to celebrate the reunion together every year. As a result, the family members all returned for the occasion.

Westley rushed to his grandmother. “Grandma, happy the reunion!” he said happily.

“Happy the reunion, grandma. We are back,” Gabrielle greeted in turn.

She then proceeded to greet all the people present one by one and began to distribute the gifts they brought.

Gabrielle picked out the gift they brought for Miley and held it in front of the old woman.

“This is the gift we bought for you from Thailand. I hope you like it.

Happy the reunion once again, grandma. I wish you become younger each day.” With that, Gabrielle handed the gift to Miley. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Miley happily took the gift and put it aside. Then she held Gabrielle’s hand warmly.

“Gabrielle, you look much thinner and darker. You must have had a hard time in Thailand.” Miley looked at Gabrielle with concern as she spoke.

“Well, Grandma, I didn’t suffer much. Westley took care of me all the time,” Gabrielle replied sincerely.

What she said was the absolute truth. Westley was the one who took care of her during their trip to Bangkok. If it weren’t for him, she might have died in the forest.

However, Miley didn’t seem at all moved by what Gabrielle said. “Well, he’s supposed to take care of you. He’s your husband after all. But it seems like he didn’t take good care of you. I feel so bad to see that you have become so thin.” The thing was Miley liked Gabrielle very deeply. She couldn’t stand to see Gabrielle suffer in any capacity.

“Grandma…” Gabrielle wanted to reply, but Westley cut her off immediately.

“Grandma, you’re right. I didn’t take good care of Gabrielle. I’ll make it up to her in the future. Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her. You know that I always keep my promises,” Westley said in earnest.

“Do you expect me to trust you after what I just saw? How could you let her suffer so much that she became thin during her honeymoon? Do you even know how to be her husband?” Miley gave Westley a cold look.

“It’s my fault, I admit. Gabrielle was really not acclimated to Thailand. Next time we go on our honeymoon, I’ll make sure she puts on more weight,” Westley said in a playful tone.
