Lock You In My Heart

Staring hesitantly at Westley, Gabrielle spoke up finally.

“What does that mean, Westley?” She wanted to understand what he meant without having to make a guess.

Guessing was one thing she so much disliked.

“By telling you about Helena, Bonnie acknowledged you as a member of the family. You see, that is rather some kind of family secret, and it’s forbidden that we tell outsiders,” Westley explained in a calm voice.

Gabrielle now understood. She could now see that Bonnie had really treated her as one of the Morris family.

“Did Bonnie say something about you helping me out of the guilt?” he asked suddenly.

Gabrielle gaped at Westley.

“How did you know about that?” she asked him, her eyes dilated with surprise.

Westley always seemed to know everything, and it made her wonder if he could read other people’s minds.

“I have changed a lot, and that’s because of you, Gabrielle. I’m sure Bonnie must be expecting so much more from you,” Westley said with a smile.

He knew how concerned his brother and sister-in-law were about him.

Bonnie had always worried about him.

His sudden marriage to Gabrielle must have made Bonnie investigate her the more.

But it gladdened him too that she could talk to Gabrielle about Helena. It showed that she saw Gabrielle as family now.
