Gabrielle came down with a big bag in her hand, and the next thing she noticed was Westley and Wendy chatting in the yard. The scene was so weird that she even thought it was just her illusion for a brief moment.
"Are you done, Gabrielle?" When Westley saw her, he immediately walked over and took the bag from her hand.
"Almost. These are what I'm going to use for a while. I'll take other things another time," Gabrielle said with a smile on her face.
"Mom, I hope things in my room will remain the same. Many of my previous design drafts are left there, and I will come back to get them later," Gabrielle addressed as she shifted her eyes at Wendy.
"Gabrielle, we won't let anyone touch the things in your room. You can come back and get them whenever you want. That's always your place." Wendy looked at her with a smile.
Gabrielle felt relieved to hear these words, and she was a little flattered that Wendy had such a gentle attitude towards her. After all, she didn't want her things to be thrown away.
"Thank you, mom. Then, we'll go back now." After Gabrielle said that, she got into the car.
After the car left the Jones family's house, Gabrielle started laughing.
"What makes you so happy?" hearing her happy laughter, Westley asked directly.
"Westley, I really think it's awesome to have a kick-ass man around. Their attitude completely changed after we gave them the order," Gabrielle glanced at Westley and said.
Westley was amused by Gabrielle's reaction. He never thought that his wife could have such a dry sense of humor.
"Don't you like it?" Westley questioned.
"No, I kind of like it. It's just that I think the business you've done with the Jones family is too big. Is it worth it?" Gabrielle withdrew her smile, and her expression became serious.
This was neither one million nor ten. It was a hundred million that they were discussing.
So Gabrielle couldn't help but question, 'Is it really worth it to give it to the Jones family like this?'
"Yeah, it is, Gabrielle. It depends on Mr. Jones, though. If he's really capable, then he can get involved in the business. In fact, I just gave him a chance. Whether he can seize the opportunity or not is what matters." Westley spoke calmly.
Gabrielle immediately understood what Westley meant.
"Westley, do you intend to help the Jones family? When they become superior to the Collins family, people of the Collins family will beg Bryce to marry Nellie at that time," Gabrielle inquired in earnest.
Westley was a bit stunned by what Gabrielle had said. He did, in fact, have such a thought. He knew too well about the Collins family's awful nature.
Even if he was successful in helping Nellie keep the baby, the Jones family would not have the ability to guarantee the future of the mother and child. Moreover, the Collins family may play some evil tricks on the Jones family at any time.
Westley could protect the Jones family, but he couldn't do it all the time, especially for the people he hated so much. So, the only way to solve the problem once for all was to make the Jones family more powerful than the Collins family. Only at that time, the Collins family wouldn't dare to mess up with the Jones family any longer.
Besides, by helping so, the Jones family would owe him a big favor. Thus, he felt that this was a perfect deal to make.
However, he never thought Gabrielle would guess it right instantly.
"Gabrielle, have I ever praised you for being smart?" Westley couldn't help but laugh as he thought of his wife's wit.
"Honey, we just need to take care of ourselves." Gabrielle reached out and squeezed Westley's arm before separating.
"Gabrielle, as long as you are by my side, everything else has nothing to do with me," Westley claimed in great earnest.
"I'll always be by your side. By the way, let's go to the mall to buy some toys for Star. We were too anxious before that we didn't prepare anything for him." Gabrielle took a glance at the shopping mall nearby, and a thought sprang to her.
"It's the first day of the holiday. We should buy a couple of toys for Star to cheer him up." Westley agreed with her idea and drove directly to the mall.
Perhaps because it was holiday, there were few people in the mall, which was exactly what Westley wanted. He and Gabrielle went to the children's toy stores with peace of mind, picked out several toys, and then bought some clothes. Although Star still needed to rest on the bed for some period, Gabrielle just couldn't move her eyes away from the cute little clothes. So she bought a few sets for him to wear after he got better.
With the car space loaded with objects, they drove back to Half Moon Bay in great joy, where Sophie was waiting while preparing dinner.
"Mr. and Mrs. Morris, you're back. Miss Rose, Doctor Maniac, and Star are upstairs." As soon as Westley and Gabrielle arrived back and got out of the car, Sophie leaned out and talked to them.
"Okay, Sophie. We'll go see them." Gabrielle carried a bag of clothes in one hand, and a big smile could be seen on her face.
She grew much more satisfied at the thought that Star would be super happy when he saw the clothes.
"Westley, do you think Star would like them?" Gabrielle asked as she went up the stairs, becoming concerned.
"You've selected them so carefully. I think Star will definitely love them. Don't worry about it." Westley raised his hand and rubbed her head to reassure her.
Westley held a giant transformer toy in his other hand, which looked cute and tiny against his tall figure.
