Lock You In My Heart

Macy’s abrupt question shocked Gabrielle, and even Bonnie who just came in.

‘When did I have a child?’ Gabrielle wondered.

“Macy, you misunderstood. Allow me to introduce you to Bonnie, my sister-in-law This pretty little girl right here is her daughter, Tammy.” She said it that way so that she could hide the fact that she was in a relationship with Westley.

Macy didn’t seem to care about that part. She just bent down to be at eye level with Tammy. “Oh, my God! Tammy is a mixed race girl? She’s so beautiful! I’m so envious of you, Gabrielle. You have an elder brother, a beautiful foreigner sister-in-law, and an adorable niece of mixed blood. Life really gave you the jackpot, huh? Did you save the world in your previous life or something? Is that why you have such good luck?”

Macy’s reaction amused Gabrielle, and she patted her hand. “Macy, it’s kind of hard to respond to your questions. Anyway, I need to get some air.”

Gabrielle led Bonnie and Tammy outside, so that she could speak to them easier.

“I’m sorry about that, Bonnie. She’s actually my classmate in college, and she’s the daughter of this bakery’s owner. She’s always so straightforward. If she said something that upset you, please forgive her this once. She didn’t mean any of it,” Gabrielle explained hurriedly.

“Oh, that’s right. I seem to recall that you’re majoring in jewelry designing, right? Why are you working for a bakery? Are you planning to be a baker now, or are you just short on cash? Does Westley know about this?” asked Bonnie.

She really cared about Gabrielle, because she was very fond of her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t care about what Gabrielle was doing.

“Bonnie, he doesn’t know about it yet. Could you please keep this a secret? I’m not really short on cash. I just wanted to learn how to bake a cake, and I wanted to make one for him this Christmas,” explained Gabrielle.

Once Bonnie had heard this, she understood why. Her eyes dimmed, and she seemed to be in deep thought. “Gabrielle, do you have anything to do later?” asked Bonnie.

“I’m actually almost done. What’s up, Bonnie?” Gabrielle could tell from the look on her face that she must have something to talk about.
