Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 11 Helena Collins

“Don’t mention her name in front of me again. After all, did she treat the Morris with respect? No! Besides, Gabrielle is your wife and I will only accept her as my granddaughter-in-law,” Miley said firmly.

“Grandma, please don’t be so angry. It’s okay that we don’t visit my parents today; besides, they aren’t expecting any special treatment anyway.” Gabrielle tried to placate Miley because she didn’t want them to have an argument because of her.

I want you to go to her parents’ home with her. I’ve already taken care of the gifts you need to bring there with you. Don’t bring disgrace to our family. Do you hear me?” Miley’s words were delivered with great seriousness.
