Lock You In My Heart

It was an accident that made Gabrielle marry into the Morris family. Yet, Westley had shown nothing but glowing love to his wife. And so, the Morris family hadn’t shown dislike toward Gabrielle. The atmosphere in the room was quite jovial at the beginning.

Not that it mattered if they didn’t like whom he was marrying. Gabrielle would not spend the rest of her life with them.

She was going to live the rest of her life with Westley. As long as he recognized Gabrielle as his wife, it was no one else’s business.

It was a good thing that the family believed that if it was none of their business, they wouldn’t give a damn about it. But Mrs. Morris, or Liana as she was otherwise called, didn’t think that way.

Liana had two sons. Wilson was the eldest and he was like an adopted son of the Campbells since he married into the family. He and his wife Bonnie settled down in Italy after their wedding. Wilson’s visits to his mother were few and far between.

And so, Liana became closer to her youngest son, Westley. They would see each other every so often.

Liana would have wanted to choose the wives for her sons. With Wilson, however, she knew that she should not pick on Bonnie. She couldn’t afford to offend anyone from the Campbell Family.

Were it not for this, Liana would not have agreed to Wilson marrying Bonnie, let alone letting him live in Italy with his wife.

Liana had mixed feelings about Wilson being groomed to lead the Campbell Family. She was glad that the family had been able to legalize their business. On the other hand, she had reservations since they engaged in underground business in the beginning. Also, the complicated interrelationship and its industrial chain made her anxious.

“Gabrielle, I know you are young but maybe you shouldn’t be playing outside all day. You and Westley have been married for half a year now. Maybe you should both be thinking about having a child…”

“Mom!” Westley cut in before his mother could finish her sentence. “What are you saying?”
