Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle had heard Helena’s name many times over. In her head, she had imagined all sorts of scenarios between that woman and Westley.

But those were all in her head. In reality, she didn’t know anything about her.

Nobody had told her about that woman.

But now, Bonnie had mentioned Helena. Gabrielle thought that this time for sure, she would finally learn something about Helena.

“Gabrielle, how do you feel about Westley now? I need your honest answer. He was really devastated because of that relationship, so I need to be very careful on telling you about it,” Bonnie said, staring into Gabrielle’s eyes.

Although she seldom ever stayed in the Morris family’s mansion, she treated Westley as family, and was genuinely concerned about him.

Oftentimes, she would pay special attention to his love affairs.

The last relationship he had nearly destroyed him. If something like that were to happen again, it would surely ruin him for good.

“Bonnie, I love him. In fact, I love him so much that I don’t know how to describe it to you,” Gabrielle said with all the sincerity she could muster.

She rarely spoke out her true emotions for Westley this frankly, especially in front of someone she barely even knew.

For her, love was meant to be a private thing. That was the reason she barely said anything about it out loud.

But now that Bonnie was asking her about it so seriously, Gabrielle could tell just how much she cared for Westley.
