Lock You In My Heart Chapter 557
Lock You In My Heart
The moment this topic was brought up the atmosphere in the car became very serious.
Westley patted gently on Gabrielleâs shoulder and said softly, âHey, donât be too sad, okay? We should be happy that he is still alive. As long as he is alive, there is hope.â
At the moment, that was all Westley could think of to comfort his wife.
It was common for men from wealthy families to have mistresses and illegitimate children unknown to their wives. Most of these wealthy men led a life of deceit.
Some even had several mistresses and illegitimate children.
Westley had a deep contempt for these kinds of men. Why got married if it was to be so frivolous? Since he had tied the knot with Gabrielle and wanted to have several children with her, Westley knew he would have to take responsibility as a husband and as a father. If he was unable to do that, then he better not get married at all.
âIt is therefore up to us to raise this child and ensure he lives a happy life.â Gabrielle was truly sorry for this poor child who suddenly found himself an orphan. But on the other hand, she was really happy that he had crossed their path.
âYeah, we will raise this child as our own. I have no doubt that you will be a good mother,â Westley said in a comforting tone.
His words touched Gabrielle and she turned to look at him, a smile lighting up her face. âI also believe that you will be a good father,â she said softly.
âGabrielle, how about we had another child so the two could grow up together? Otherwise, he will be too lonely.â You could call it selfishness, but Westley was pretty pragmatic. He had married Gabrielle, so it was normal that they had their own children. They couldnât just raise other peopleâs children and never taste the joy of giving birth.
âWell, letâs go back to Antawood first and then we can make a decision,â Gabrielle replied. She and Westley had been married for a long time. Moreover, they had a pretty solid relationship. So, they could definitely consider having a child.
âOkay.â
Westley was happy with Gabrielleâs response. At least this time, she didnât refuse to have a baby with him. Silence settled in the car. Gabrielle looked thoughtful for a moment when suddenly she stared at the man next to her and asked, âWestley... do you think that one day you too will have mistresses and several illegitimate children? Do you think you can hide such a heavy secret from me?â Gabrielle studied his face, eager to know his answer. After all, many men behaved like that, so she wondered if that would be the case for Westley too. Since the dawn of time, men had all fantasized about having several wives.
If they werenât polygamous, they at least had mistresses. âA mistress?â Westley was utterly stunned. He didnât expect that Gabrielle would ask him such a question. However, he was really curious as to why she asked him that. Westley smiled helplessly and asked, âWhy do you think I would keep a mistress?â âCome on, Westley. Almost every man dreams of having multiple wives. Do you really never think about that too?â Gabrielle couldnât believe Westley had never thought of such a thing.
He was a man after all. âGabrielle, before I met you, I didnât even want to get married. Do you really think I want a mistress?
Women are really difficult beings to deal with. They are very troublesome. One is enough for me. I donât have the energy to take care of many of them,â Westley said sincerely. However, Gabrielle understood Westleyâs words in an entirely different way. âI know you well, Westley. You think Iâm troublesome but you just wonât say it directly, right? You see, you donât really love me anymore. Iâm sure if you find another woman who isnât as troublesome as I am, Iâm sure youâll go with her,â
Gabrielle said with a sad face. Hearing what she just said, Westley sighed and then laughed. âGabrielle, how could I no longer love you? I want you to know that thereâs only room for you in my heart.â It was only then that Gabrielle understood the true meaning of Westleyâs words earlier. He thought all women, no matter what, were annoying. Since he already had one, he wouldnât want another. Thinking of that, Gabrielleâs face immediately lit up and a sense of pride grew in her heart.
Westleyâs answer really made her happy. She now knew that he would never have a mistress.
It was not that he didnât have the guts. He just wouldnât even think of that.
Definitely, not all men were the same and Westley was the proof of that.
âMy heart is so small. I tell you again, you are the only one in my heart. Do you really want to share my love with others?â
Westley asked with a faint smile on his face.
âNo way. I would never let anyone take my husband away from me and I wouldnât share your love either. On this, Iâm fiercely selfish,â Gabrielle said seriously.
For sure Westley was delighted by Gabrielleâs answer because the smile on his face became wider.
âGabrielle, there is no doubt that I love you. No matter what happens, I want you to never forget that you are the only woman I love!â Westley looked Gabrielle in the eye as he said that, hoping she would believe him.
Actually, Gabrielle had always known that Westley loved her. She was just had a whim just now. She trusted Westley. He was not the type of man who would betray her love and go with other women.
âDonât worry, Westley. I trust you completely. No matter what life throws at us, I know that my love for you will never change. We will be happy together.â As she spoke, Gabrielle gently held Westleyâs hand. âAlright. You donât ask such stupid questions anymore, okay?â Westley knew that she wasnât serious earlier when she asked him if he would have a mistress. He knew what kind of person Gabrielle was. âI promise I wonât ask such stupid questions again. Donât be mad at me, okay?â
Gabrielle said seriously. âHow can I ever be mad at you?â Westley replied with an even bigger smile on his face. âIâm the happiest woman. I have a husband who loves me more than anything! Hey, what are we going to eat tonight? How about I cook dinner for everyone tonight?â Gabrielle looked really radiant right now. Westley was a little surprised by Gabrielleâs sudden offer.
He glanced at her and asked seriously, âDo you really want to do it?â âOf course. I really want to cook dinner. Letâs go to the supermarket now. I havenât been this happy in a long time. I want to transfer my happiness into dinner tonightâGabrielle was definitely serious. âOkay. Weâll do as you say.â Seeing Gabrielle so happy made Westley happy too.
He was always happier when he saw his wife happy. The couple eventually drove to the largest supermarket in town. They had dinner to prepare! While they were shopping, a thought crossed Gabrielleâs mind. She suddenly glanced at her husband and asked, âWestley, it just dawned on me that we never went shopping together like this in Antawood, did we?â The fact was Westley had a special identity back in Antawood. He was a popular figure there and almost everyone in the city could recognize him.
Because of that, he couldnât go shopping with Gabrielle. Westley was pushing the cart with one hand while holding Gabrielleâs hand with the other. Hearing her remark, he smiled and asked, âSo how do you like us finally going shopping together?â As for him, he really liked the feeling. They were an ordinary couple living a happy life. Gabrielle looked Westley in the eye and replied, âI like it. It feels so good. This is how a couple should be. Go to the supermarket to buy food and then go home to cook together.
This is the life I have always dreamed of.â She was really happy right now.
