Lock You In My Heart Chapter 607
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielleâs nervousness increased greatly when the car pulled up to the gate of Morrisâ Mansion. She clasped her hands tightly to keep them from shaking any further.
Of course, Westley quickly noticed Gabrielleâs nervousness. He called her softly, âGabrielle!â
âYeah?â Gabrielle answered almost immediately. She looked at Westley as if in a daze.
âYou donât have to be nervous. This is Morrisâ Mansion and you are the daughter-in-law of this family. This is your in-lawsâ house, so technically speaking, this is your house. Letâs go home now, okay? Thereâs no reason for you to be nervous. Have you forgotten how much little Tammy and Grandma love you? It doesnât matter what other people think of you. Focus on those who love you.â Westley held Gabrielleâs hand firmly in reassurance as he drove the car inside the mansion.
A few moments later, he parked the car in the huge courtyard of the mansion. After unbuckling his seatbelt, he leaned over and gave Gabrielle a light kiss on the forehead. âDonât worry, Gabrielle. Iâm with you. Youâre part of this family. No one will dare drive you away, not even my mother.â
Westleyâs words made Gabrielle burst out laughing. She realized that she was indeed too nervous. The thing was, it wasnât the first time she had come to this mansion. The first time she came here, everyone took a dislike to her. Even Westley wasnât on her side. She was really ostracized at the time.
At that time, she had the impression of being unwanted. No one in the Morris family seemed to like her even a little bit.
But things were different now. Grandma really liked her. Most importantly, Gabrielle had Westley by her side. So, she had nothing to worry about.
âYou are right, Westley. I donât know why I was so nervous just now.â
âI want you to never forget that I will always be with you, Gabrielle. If they dare drive you out of the house, Iâll go with you and weâll never set foot here again unless you decide otherwise.â Westley spoke in a firm tone, which greatly reassured Gabrielle.
âAunt Gabrielle, Uncle Westley, you are back!â The little nervousness which was still lingering in Gabrielleâs heart vanished the instant she heard the soft voice of Tammy who was coming towards them. The little girl seemed really happy to see them again.
Gabrielle quickly unfastened her seat belt and pushed the door open. Just as she got out of the car, little Tammy threw herself into her arms.
âAunt Gabrielle, where have you been all this time? Iâm super happy that you finally came back to see me. Youâre going to stay with me, right? My mom and dad went on their honeymoon behind my back, and as you also left me, I was all alone. Youâre really mean.â Tammy pouted when she finished speaking. She wanted to make it clear to Gabrielle that she was not happy with her.
However, upon hearing the little girlâs complaint, Gabrielle couldnât help but burst out laughing.
She wouldnât have thought that Tammy would be jealous.
In fact, Tammy felt that adults would rather play their games than be with her. After all, hadnât they all abandoned her?
The little girl didnât know that Westley and Gabrielle were actually forced to go to Bangkok, and her parents had gone to Bangkok for work.
Tammy was still very young. She didnât need to know all that.
At this moment, Westley walked over and picked Tammy up. âYou know, Tammy, Gabrielle and I are also a couple. Just like your parents, we also have to go on our honeymoon. Otherwise, how can we give you a brother or a sister?â he said in a naughty tone.
What he said was so quick and unexpected that Gabrielle didnât have time to stop him. She looked at him with wide eyes when he put Tammy down. Could he ever be a little serious? How could he say such a thing to a child?
âWestley, how can you say such a thing? Tammy is just a child! You should watch your tongue!â Gabrielle couldnât help but scold Westley sternly.
Did he have no regard for the girlâs mental health?
âWhatâs wrong with what I said? I just told her the truth,â Westley replied with a serious face.
Gabrielle glared at him, but said nothing. Anyway, she knew it was impossible for her to win any argument with Westley.
Since she knew she couldnât win if they argued, she thought it was bet ter not to say anything.
âWow, Uncle Westley, you mean there is a baby in Aunt Gabrielleâs belly now?â As she spoke, Tammy stared intently at Gabrielleâs belly. A glimmer of excitement shone in her eyes.
Hearing what the little girl said, Gabrielle felt a little bad. She looked helplessly at Tammy. âTammy, donât listen to your Uncle Westley. There is no baby in my belly for now.â
As soon as she said that, Westley added almost immediately, âTammy, there is no baby in Gabrielleâs belly for the moment. But I promise you that a baby would be coming very soon. This time, you will have a brother with whom you would play often. You shall see him very soon.â
Tammyâs face lit up when she heard that she would soon have a brother. âUncle Westley, is that true? You wonât lie to me, will you? Where is he now?â
âHe is at our home. If you behave well, Iâll let you play with him tomorrow.â Westley seemed very serious at this moment, so Tammy had no choice but to believe him.
âUncle Westley, I promise Iâll behave well. Yippee! Iâm going to see my brother tomorrow. I want to play with him.â Tammy clapped her hands happily.
As a child, it was normal for her to be thrilled at the idea of playing with another child. After all, they were the same age, so they must have a lot in common.
âOkay, Iâll bring you to see him tomorrow.â Westley rubbed Tammyâs head affectionately.
Meanwhile, Gabrielle took out some gifts from the car. They were for Tammy.
âTammy, these are the gifts your Uncle Westley and I prepared for you.â As she spoke, Gabrielle handed the gifts to Tammy.
Tammy was overjoyed at the sight of the gifts. âThank you, Aunt Gabrielle and Uncle Westley. I wish you give birth to a little brother or sister for me as soon as possible.â
âThis girl is very smart,â Gabrielle thought.
Westley then called someone to move all the gifts from the car into the house. Then, he held Gabrielleâs hand and they both walked inside.
The whole family was there.
It was a tradition for all the members of the Morris family to celebrate the reunion together every year. As a result, the family members all returned for the occasion.
Westley rushed to his grandmother. âGrandma, happy the reunion!â he said happily.
âHappy the reunion, grandma. We are back,â Gabrielle greeted in turn.
She then proceeded to greet all the people present one by one and began to distribute the gifts they brought.
Gabrielle picked out the gift they brought for Miley and held it in front of the old woman.
âThis is the gift we bought for you from Thailand. I hope you like it.
Happy the reunion once again, grandma. I wish you become younger each day.â With that, Gabrielle handed the gift to Miley.
Miley happily took the gift and put it aside. Then she held Gabrielleâs hand warmly.
âGabrielle, you look much thinner and darker. You must have had a hard time in Thailand.â Miley looked at Gabrielle with concern as she spoke.
âWell, Grandma, I didnât suffer much. Westley took care of me all the time,â Gabrielle replied sincerely.
What she said was the absolute truth. Westley was the one who took care of her during their trip to Bangkok. If it werenât for him, she might have died in the forest.
However, Miley didnât seem at all moved by what Gabrielle said. âWell, heâs supposed to take care of you. Heâs your husband after all. But it seems like he didnât take good care of you. I feel so bad to see that you have become so thin.â The thing was Miley liked Gabrielle very deeply. She couldnât stand to see Gabrielle suffer in any capacity.
âGrandma...â Gabrielle wanted to reply, but Westley cut her off immediately.
âGrandma, youâre right. I didnât take good care of Gabrielle. Iâll make it up to her in the future. Grandma, donât worry. Iâll take good care of her. You know that I always keep my promises,â Westley said in earnest.
âDo you expect me to trust you after what I just saw? How could you let her suffer so much that she became thin during her honeymoon? Do you even know how to be her husband?â Miley gave Westley a cold look.
âItâs my fault, I admit. Gabrielle was really not acclimated to Thailand. Next time we go on our honeymoon, Iâll make sure she puts on more weight,â Westley said in a playful tone.
