Originally, Westley had thought that if he didn't take part in the conversation, he would be excluded from this matter. However,
it turned out that he still had to take part in no matter what as he even got personally questioned by Gabrielle. This caused him
to be in a tight position.
What was the best way to answer this question when a guy was being asked by his wife? In his school days, he was young and
ignorant just like others. Was there anyone in their youth who didn't like pretty girls? .
Likewise, most girls would be fond of handsome jocks. It was natural for people to like things that were beautiful and aesthetic,
so this kind of preference grew natural.
"Mr. Morris, what are you reluctant about? Is it so difficult to answer my question?" At the sight of Westley's silent and
contemplating expression, Gabrielle couldn't help it anymore as she teased him.
Perhaps she understood that Westley must be very cute and handsome when he was young. He must have been like a celebrity
at the school, which inevitably would draw the attention of the female peers.
"Not at all. I just don't know how to put this. Well, in my school days, I didn't pay much attention to anything except my grades.
So, I didn't even have any type to begin with." Saying this, Westley cleverly changed the main focused topic as something he
didn't even bother about.
He was basically saying that a good student like him would never do any indecent stuffs, let alone trying to eye girls.
Hearing this, Gabrielle chose to believe it. After all, based on Westley's personality, he indeed didn't seem like the one who would
take the initiative to flirt with any girl.
It was more likely that lots of girls got enchanted by him and tried to do the confession. Even then, he would most likely have
Just ignored them.
"So, you are saying you had always been a straight-A student who only cared about study, aren't you?" Gabrielle raised her
eyebrows and ridiculed him. She was curious about how he was like back in his school life, but since he didn't feel like opening
up, she would just drop it. After all, everyone had their own little secrets in their youth.
There were some people who didn't like to talk about their past. So, each person had their own way to avoid talking about it.
Gabrielle understood that and respected it. -
After all, when it came to herself, there were things she didn't want to share either.
“I was not a straight-A student, just not so bad one. I have to answer this." Just then, Westley's phone rang coincidentally. He
stood up and went outside to answer the phone.
Gabrielle knew that he got the nice excuse to avoid answering the question. Anyway, she still thought that he must have been a
playboy at that time. There certainly must have been tons of girls who chased after him.
“Gabrielle, you are quite right. Westley had been the smartest and most handsome boy since kindergarten. So, many girls were
obsessed with him. They sent him anything they could find; flowers, chocolate, and everything romantically related, you see."
This was such a perfect opportunity to get back at Westley for the times he tortured them by showing off his relationship, so
Alexis immediately started to snitch to Gabrielle about him enthusiastically.
Since Westley didn't want to tell her, he would do the job. Then again, even though Westley truly had that kind of moments
during that period, there was actually nothing bad about him. Even though they grew up together, all Alexis knew about was
positive aspects of him.
Therefore, all comments about this man were basically perfect.
Of course, how could Alexis be in a good mood when he was wronged like that repeatedly? He just felt that this brat was purposefully trying to sabotage his image in front of Gabrielle.
He couldn't even tell if he was his enemy or the best buddy anymore!
"It seems to me that you guys were very popular at that time. Go on, tell me more about Westley. I want to know more about his
youth and student life." Gabrielle was fully prepared to hear everything about Westley from his own best friends.
Whatever it was, she was interested in knowing everything about Westley's past. Whether it was about study or his love life, whether it was good or bad.
After all, she couldn't pass up this kind of good opportunity to gossip about Westley while he was away.
Even though they had married, she had never heard of anything about Westley's youth, so she felt it fresh and fun being able to inquire about it now.
To her, everything about him was interesting
"Well, we were popular, but the most popular person has always been Westley. In addition to his appearance, he's always been on the top of the list in grades, not to mention that he managed to achieve rewards from any competition he participated. It had to be said that as long as he wanted to do something, he would be capable of accomplishing it no matter how hard it was. Not only girls but also teachers liked him very much. You see, that's what we couldn't compare and none of us is better than him.
I've acknowledged and admitted that fact. Therefore, he would be always the one we admire the most in our friend group." Alexis described about Westley's younger self in delight.
