Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 608

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?"

Was she pressuring them to have children?

She should understand that they had their plans as a couple. And Gabrielle, she was still a student. It was not a practical thing for her to be pregnant.

"Oh, come on, Westley. You know I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't you two marry for…"

"Mom!" Westley interrupted his mother again. "Gabrielle and I have only been married for half a year. We haven't even spent enough time alone together. Also, Gabrielle still has to finish her studies." His voice turned stern. Clearly, he was protecting his wife. "And Mom, I don't see myself having a child soon. It's not convenient for me. I have a lot of things on my plate right now. I'm not mentally prepared to be a father. So I'm not really in a hurry."

Liana never really liked Gabrielle. With Westley protecting her fiercely, Liana found herself hating his wife.

Gabrielle must be a witch. She must have used black magic. Westley didn't like her when he first met her. He was even angry with her. But his feelings for her changed in merely six months! He had already fallen for her.

If she wasn't a witch, what would she be?

Gabrielle was just an adopted child of the Jones family. Her origin was unknown, but she was obviously scheming. She had Westley under her spell. He had never talked to his mother impudently. And he did just that for his wife's sake. Liana felt so humiliated.

When Liana would think of this, her thoughts would drift to Holly. She liked Holly.

Holly was a lovely girl. Her manners were gentle. Liana liked the way she talked sweetly to her. It made her happy.

"Let's have dinner together," Miley said as she stood up. "If you have something to say that's not nice at all, then you just have to keep your mouth shut."

Westley and Gabrielle promptly came to Miley's side and took her by the arm to help her walk to the dining room.

"Grandma, you were awesome just now," exclaimed Gabrielle. She was so thankful that Miley had just defended her against Liana.

Truth be told, Gabrielle had found it difficult to relate to Liana, who happened to be Westley's mother and her mother-in-law. She wouldn't dare argue with her.

So Gabrielle would just endure the scolding she got from Liana.

Miley, on the other hand, could be straightforward with Liana. She was, after all, Miley, Liana's mother-in-law.

One had to give regard to the elders in the family.

"Gabrielle, learn how to express how you feel. When you are not happy about anything, say it. Don't keep your feelings bottled up or you'll fall into depression. Westley, like all the men in the Morris family, knows that he has to protect his wife. I must say he is doing a great job," said Miley in all seriousness.

"My wife deserves my love and my protection," Westley said sincerely, agreeing with his grandmother.

Not too long ago, Westley would not have said such things. For him, getting married was just a task in his life that he needed to do—a task just like taking over the Morris Group.
