Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 609

Time was a powerful catalyst, bringing two people who had never met or shared an emotional bond to fall in love.

Westley used to think marriage was a task, but after he married Gabrielle, he realized he was wrong. Marriage was full of love and happiness.

He was willing to do everything for Gabrielle. When he was with her, he didn’t care about time and money, nor did he care about gains and losses.

He drastically changed from an aloof workaholic to a slave who would do everything for his wife.

It made him happy.

“Grandma, you were so cool! It was awesome!” Gabrielle cheerfully gave Miley a thumbs up.

Gabrielle really felt embarrassed. There were a lot of the Morris family members present today. She was worried when Liana persuaded her to have a child. If everyone pressured her to have a kid, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy the dinner in peace.

Westley was always on her side, but he couldn’t comment anything against his family. If he tried to argue with the elders, Gabrielle would suffer the blame. She would be criticized for persuading Westley to retort against the elders of the Morris family or they would think that Westley was scared of his wife.

Fortunately, Miley came to the rescue.

“How do you know I disagree with Liana, Gabrielle?” Miley said half-jokingly.

“Grandma?” Gabrielle was confused by what Miley meant.

“You see, even though I also want you and Westley to have a baby, I want to see you two love each other more and be happier. I want the little one to be raised in a loving environment. Only then the baby could grow up full of love and happiness. So, there’s no need to rush,” Miley explained seriously.

“Grandma…”

Gabrielle was deeply touched.

She felt happy to have an elder who loved her and looked out for her.

This kind of bond was more difficult to come by compared to getting a man who loved her deeply.

“Gabrielle, you are my beloved granddaughter-in-law and the person Westley loves. You must remember that we love you and we’re family. The person who loves you will never force you to do something you’re not ready for. Just let nature take its course and you will have a baby sooner or later. What I care more about is your happiness,” Miley lovingly said.

Gabrielle was so moved that she didn’t know what to say.

“Grandma… I-“

“Gabrielle, a person’s life is his own and it should never be held by other’s hands. If you don’t like it, you should refuse it, and if you love it, you should cherish it.” Miley shared her wisdom.

Both Gabrielle and Westley could understand what she meant, and they agreed with her.

“Grandma, we both know what’s best for us. I will love Gabrielle all my life and won’t let her suffer any grievances. If you keep on talking like that, I think Gabrielle will have to eat the dinner in tears. You know, it’s her first time to have the family gathering dinner in our house.” Westley couldn’t help but tease Miley.

“Don’t be so talkative.” Miley rolled her eyes at Westley.

“Westley, don’t make Grandma angry.” Gabrielle scolded him calmly.

“See? Gabrielle is more sensible than you. What else can you do except to annoy me?” Miley huffed.

“Yes, yes. You treat Gabrielle as your biological granddaughter, but me as an adopted grandson.” Westley didn’t want to argue with Miley anymore.

“Grandma, I’ll give you a surprise in a few days.” Thinking of Star, Gabrielle de

cided to have Miley come to Half Moon Bay to see Star in a few days. She thought it would make Miley so happy.

“Surprise? What kind of surprise?” Miley asked expectantly.

“Grandma, it won’t be a surprise if I tell you now. You will know when you go to Half Moon Bay a few days later. It’s a secret for now.” Gabrielle giggled.

Miley was excited about it, but she wasn’t in a hurry. She would let Gabrielle do her thing and wait in anticipation.

“Okay, okay. I’ll look forward to it. Let’s have dinner first.” Miley had a smile on her face.

There were more than twenty people at the table after everyone had sat down. All of them were Morris family direct relatives.

This was the liveliest time of the year in the Morris’ Mansion, and also the most crowded time. All kinds of noises gathered together.

The Jones family was a small family, and although the Carter family had many members, Gabrielle didn’t enjoy spending the holiday with them. The family coldly ignored her, making her feel like she

didn’t exist.

Whether when she was in the Jones family or the Carter family’s house, Gabrielle was just like a fifth wheel.

“Gabrielle, are you okay? Do you feel a little nervous?” Miley especially asked Gabrielle to sit next to her. It showed their closeness and also helped Gabrielle relax.

This also meant Miley recognized her as her granddaughter-in-law. From now on, no one in the Morris family could bully Gabrielle. Crossing Gabrielle was equal to going against Miley.

Miley was the authority of the Morris family. No one dared to challenge her.

All the immediate family members of the Morris family were affiliated to the Morris Group, or they were raised by the stocks of the Morris Group. What right did they have to offend Miley?

“It’s the public holiday today, and it’s also the best time for most of our family to gather every year. Since everyone is here, I’d like to formally introduce a new member to you, Gabrielle, Westley’s wife. Some of you have seen her, and others have not.” Miley stood up and gestured for Gabrielle to stand up too.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Gabrielle, and I’m Westley’s wife. I hope we can get along well. If I make any mistakes, please let me know. I’ll correct myself and try to be a qualified wife for Westley.” Gabrielle spoke in a serious tone.

No matter who Gabrielle was or what kind of person she was, the other members of the Morris family didn’t care about it at all. They were solely interested in Westley’s appraisal of her and whether she could affect their interests.

If it was not related to their interests, then they didn’t care whose wife Gabrielle was.

“Westley’s wife is excellent.”

“She’s not only beautiful but also very modest.”

The elders began to praise Gabrielle with all kinds of flattery. It seemed false, and Gabrielle didn’t care if it was true or not.

They were not the people she cared about, so she just nodded politely.

“Thank you for your kind words. I’m still learning and I will try my best to be a better daughter-in-law of the Morris family.” Gabrielle made a good impression. The elders seemed to approve of her obedience.

“Westley chose well.”

“But they haven’t held a wedding ceremony yet. I wonder, when will Westley and Gabrielle hold a wedding ceremony?” a different voice echoed.
