Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 214
Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 214 Compensation For Her If cultivating feelings was as easy as Wendy had said, Gabrielle didnât know how hard it could be for others. In any case, it was not simple to foster feelings between Gabrielle and Westley.
Wendy underestimated how difficult it would be. Maybe, she really liked Westley, because after all, her excellent son-in-law was the most distinguished diamond-level man in Antawood. Countless girls wanted to become his wife, and an infinite number of mothers wanted their daughters to marry him.
âMom, the teapots here are excellent. Letâs go inside and have a look.â
When they were passing by the teaware shop, Gabrielle rushed to take Wendy into the shop, trying to divert her attention. She didnât want to listen to her brainwashing teachings anymore.
âGabrielle, Iâm only doing this for your own good. Many women have insanely wanted to marry Westley, and youâre aware of that. But now that youâre the one who got this shot, you should seize the opportunity and develop your bond with him.â Wendy knew that Gabrielle was trying to escape this conversation, so she quickly pushed forward.
Everyone understood the principle, but very few people could practically implement it. Besides, the modero generationâs view of marriage and love were two entirely different things Nowadays, young people tie up love with love.
For them, marriage could only take place if love existed. âHow could á marriage without love last long However, Gabrielle believed that her marriage with Westley wouldnât last long. Bryce and Nellie had already arrived in Thailand, and they would come back soon.
âWill everything be the same once they come back?
âMom, can you stop talking about Westley and me?â Gabrielle was annoyed by this conversation.
âOkay. I wonât talk about it. But tell me. do you want to have a baby? Once you have a baby, itâs possible...â
Gabrielle blushed before interrupting her, âMom, I have never thought about having kids. Do you think a child can bound Westley with me through marriage? No one can force him into something he doesnât want.â
Perhaps, Westley thought the same way Although they have had sex, he had carefully used contraception, and she had taken birth control pills afterward, which could be double protection to avoid pregnancy. It was obvious that he didnât like kids, or rather, he wouldnâNike the kids she would give birth to âSince he doesnât mind touching you, he will definitely not hate your child. Be smart and try to get yourself pregnant.â Wendy was a little disappointed, but she still encouraged Gabrielle.
Gabrielle felt suffocated. âWhat a bad idea Wendy had proposed! Was she sure that the idea she suggested will save the two of them from getting a divorce?â
How could she expect that after having a baby. Gabrielle could keep Westley stay forever? Westley wouldnât be himself if he was so easily kept. That was just not the description of Westley.
And further, she had never thought of giving birth to his baby.
âMom, can you please stop talking about such a topic outside?â Gabriella complained in a low voice. Luckily, the shopping mall was big enough that no one heard them. Otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing for Gurielle to discuss having children in puble.
âMom, I think these clothes are amazing. You should pick some fonGrandpa. Since you already know his preferences, he will love whatever youâll buy for him.â Gabrielle tried her best to bring her motherâs focus on wares, no longer wanting to listen to Wendyâs persuasion anymore.
âThese clothes are indeed great. Gabrielle, did you decide on maternal Grandpaâs gift? Zaid likes you, and so does he like the gifts youâve been giving him every year.â Wendy was curious about Gabrielleâs gift for Zaid. And Gabrielle was relieved that finally. Wendy left that inapt topic. Gabrielleâs birthday gift for Zaid wasnât high in expense or beauty. But among the gifts from the youngsters, she chose the most unique and pleasant one.
âMom, itâs a secret.â Shaking her head, Gabrielle refused to reveal it to Wendy.
Wendy wasnât really interested in whan gift she would give to Zaid. She was happy anyway that Zaid always liked her gift, proving that they had taught Gabrielle well. It was the honor of her, after all âOkay, donât tell me. I know that you must have contemplated a lot about his gift, the reason why he likes the gifts from you, right? Wendy had always praised Gabrielle in this regard.
Gabrielle had been a considerate girl ever since she was a child, and she did everything earnestly too, which naturally made Zaid like her a lot. 2 After choosing the tea set, they went to pick the tea pet made of jade and prepared a whole collection for Zaid. âGabrielle, I havenât bought you clothes for quite long. Do you want to...â
âNo need, mom. I donât need new clothes.â Gabrielle refused right away. She had reasons like there was a big cloakroom in each of Westleyâs houses. Even though those clothes were not prepared for her, she didnât care much about clothes in the first place.
Sheâd be happy as long as there were clothes to wear. Not being a part of the fashion world, she rarely attended any fARCY celebrity parties. Gabrielle wasnât interested in competing with others for beauty, neither was she in need of doing that.
âGabrielle, you got married curtly, and I feel guilty for that always wanted to give you something, but I didnât even get a chance to prepare a decent dowry for you. Are you still angry with me?â Wendy was truly upset for all that Gabrielle had been through.
There were glorious ceremonies on the weddings of otherâs daughters with grand weddings and luxurious dowries. But her daughter secretly got married as if she was ignoble. âNo, mom. I am not angry, neither do I need anything. This wedding was nothing more than a joke. Dowry wasnât needed in the first place.â
âWell, how about I give you some jewelry then? Youâre a jewelry designer anyway. Choosing different styles can provide you with ideas, and the jewelry and diamonds will retain their value.â Wendy just thought that, after all, Gabrielle had been raised by the Jones family. If she got married without any jewelry, Wendy was afraid that Gabrielle would be looked down upon by the Morris family.
âMom, you really donât have to...â Gabrielle was about to plead when Wendy interrupted, âGabrielle, if you wonât accept the jewelry from me, I will believe that youâre still angry with me and that you havenât forgiven me yet.â Wendy simply made a serious charge against Gabrielle Giving Wendy a reluctant look, Gabrielle dragged herself into a jewelry store behind her mother.
âAlthough you are not my biological daughter, Gabrielle, Iâve raised you for twenty years. When a girl gets married, her mother must give her a set of jewelry. to officially regard her as married off. I was too hasty to prepare before. So now I will compensate you with a fresh one. You can freely choose whatever you like. â Wendy showed genuine concern. âI know the grievance in your heart about me, and I donât expect you to forgive me for jewelry. All that I wish is to let the Morris family know that being the daughter of the Jones family, you must have what all the other girls get.â Wendy began to select for her.
Gabrielle had had a grudge against Wendy, but her words moved Gabrielle. She was sad and touched. Ahe, mixed feelings were complex and uncomfortable, creating an indefinable whirlpool of emotion.
She then recalled her twenty years in the Jones familW endy didnât treat Gabrielle as well as her own daughter, yet she had never wronged her.
Gabrielle guessed that Wendy still treated her as a daughter.
âGabrielle, come look. These two sets are quite beautiful. See if you like them. We can choose more if they wonât suit your taste. There are many styles for young girls in this shop. You should like them.â Wendy delegated the decision to Gabrielle
