Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 137 An Act Of Kindness

Westley had gone downstairs to have coffee while Gabrielle took her bath. He was kind enough to even give her one of his shirts to change into. Looking at Westley, Miley felt sorry for him because he had a clear distinction between love and hate. He calculated everything so clearly that he lived such a hard life.

To her, she believed that love should never be calculated but felt.

“Westley, if you didn’t like Gabrielle at all, why did you choose to marry her at that time?” Miley asked him. There were so many girls in Antawood who would have gladly married him and be grateful for it.

“It’s late already, grandma. You need to rest so that you can be strong enough by tomorrow morning.” He didn’t want to answer any of her questions as he wasn’t ready for it. By the way, Gabrielle should be done with changing her clothes by

Thinking about it right now, he had just

a simple reason for marrying Gabrielle. Bryce, her brother, had taken Nellie away from him and for this reason, it was not a big deal for him to marry the daughter of the Jones family.

“Listen to me, Westley. I know you can’t stop thinking about Helena after all these years, but you know she…”

“Please, grandma. It’s been many years since Helena’s death. Please let’s not talk about this anymore. Please, grandma,” he interrupted her immediately.

Everyone close to Westley knew that it took him a long time to get over Helena’s death. And as a result of this, he didn’t like talking about it with anyone at all.

“I know this is a very sensitive topic that you don’t want to talk about, but I need you to know that she has been gone for so many years, and no one can determine when an accident can happen or when life will be lost So do your best to love and cherish the person you have right now in your life. Do you understand?” Miley had always known him to be a smart man and she didn’t need to say much about the matter at Tharld.

“I know, grandma. Thank you,” he replied as he bowed his head slightly. Certainly. he knew what his grandmother meant.

Even though it was an accident from other people’s perspectives, he couldn’t get over it just like that. He kept thinking about it for a very long time.

“I know you got married to Gabrielle because of me, Westley. If you know you don’t like her, please don’t make her pay the cost for you. She is not the reason for your pain. She is a good wife and will also make a good mother. I do like her,” As soon as Miley said this, she turned around and went into her room.

Westley still leaned against the bar counter and drank his coffee absentmindedly. He drank two cups and went upstairs with one more cup.
