Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 565

Gabrielle now understood the grudge between the Morris family and the Walker family. A life was involved in the feud, so she knew there was no way the two families would try to reconcile.

Gabrielle wasn’t aware of it before, so she proposed to have dinner together. She didn’t think she was gathering rivals to have dinner.

It had indeed put both parties in an awkward position.

No wonder Melissa had been hesitant when she called her for dinner. She didn’t want to spoil Gabrielle’s mood, so she planned to ask Jonathan first.

“Now, I am aware of the grudge between the two families. If you think it would be embarrassing to spend some days with Mr. Walker, I’d better call Ms. Glyn and cancel the plan.” Gabrielle felt guilty. Her intention was good, but she didn’t think it would cause trouble for the others.

“Gabrielle, you don’t have to cancel the plan. You wanted to bring everyone together and celebrate the holiday in advance. Your intentions are good.” Westley stroked her hair comfortingly.

As expected, after he told Gabrielle about the grudge between the Walker family and the Morris family, it had put her in an awkward position. She might end up being awkward and uncomfortable around Melissa.

“Even though my intentions are good, it has put you three in an embarrassing position.” Gabrielle shook her head sadly.

“Gabrielle, don’t blame yourself. First of all, you didn’t know anything about it. It has been more than thirty years. Besides, I don’t think my father killed Joanne Walker, so there’s no need to mention it again. If I didn’t meet Jonathan here, I wouldn’t have told you about it. After all, it is not a good thing to

share.” Westley looked grim. Gabrielle had just married him and was a new member of the Morris family. He didn’t want her to get involved in the grudge between their family and the Walker family that had risen thirty years ago.

“I’m sorry, Westley. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have reminded you of the bitter past. If you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, I will cancel with Ms. Glyn. I don’t think Mr. Walker would want to have dinner with us either,” Gabrielle said solemnly.

“Don’t worry. If Jonathan comes here, I will respect him for his age and not make it difficult for him. After all, it was a feud between the previous generations. I don’t care about it,” Westley comforted her. He meant every word he said. He would respect Jonathan, make him feel at home, and never bring up the past. “Really?’ Gabrielle’s eyes widened with surprise “Yes. After all, I don’t want to get involved in a problem that occurred in my father’s generation.

I have nothing against the Walker family. Jonathan is older than me, and I will respect him. If at all he hates me, I wouldn’t blame him for that either.” Westley smiled. If he didn’t think so, he wouldn’t have asked Melissa to design the jewelry for his grandma — even though Melissa ultimately rejected the offer. “I’m glad you think this way. Otherwise, I’d be stressed.” Gabrielle chuckled and blew out a loud breath. “Silly girl! Follow your heart without worrying about anything else.

This has nothing to do with you; don’t let it pressurize you. You are my wife. If you have any problem, leave it to me. I will take care of everything,” Westley said earnestly as he pulled her into his arms. He loved Gabrielle with all his heart and would do anything to make her happy. “Okay. Let’s not call it off. We don’t know if they would want to join us, so we’ll play it by ear and hope for the best.” Gabrielle felt relieved.

“Well, it’s up to them. If they want to join us, we’ll welcome them with open arms. If not, let’s forget it and carry on with our plans,” Westley added. He didn’t want Gabrielle to blame herself.

“Yes. You are right. If they join us, we can have dinner together. If not, let’s forget it.” Gabrielle nodded, clapping her hands as if she had made up her mind.

After all, she had invited them first, and the plan depended on Jonathan now. If they didn’t want to come, she wouldn’t force them in any way.

“Are you tired, Gabrielle?” Westley asked, rubbing her shoulders.

“No, I’m not. Let’s go for a walk. I want to go to the hospital later and see Ms. Glyn in person. That would show my sincerity.” Westley nodded, smiling.

He had no objection. “Let’s go in a while.”

“By the way, how is Nellie?” Gabrielle almost forgot about Nellie. The woman was staying in Bangkok to take care of herself and nourish the fetus.

“Nothing serious. It’s her fifth month of pregnancy, so she is stable now. If the Collins family doesn’t find her, I will make sure she safely gives birth to the baby here. Do you want to see her?” Westley asked curiously.

“Is that okay?” Gabrielle bit her lip hesitantly. “Of course. I’ll take you to see Nellie whenever you want.” He smiled. After a moment’s thought, Gabrielle shook her head. “I don’t think it’s a good idea. After all, it’s still dangerous. If the Collins family discovers her whereabouts, she will be in trouble.” “Okay, whatever you say. In case you feel like meeting her, I will take you there.” Westley always cared about Gabrielle’s feelings. “

Westley, what’s Nellie’s attitude toward you?” Gabrielle wanted to say something more but paused on second thought. “Gabrielle, don’t overthink. Nellie never had any feelings for me; that was why she ran away from the wedding. I, obviously, don’t have feelings for her either. I regard her as my sister.”

Westley understood what Gabrielle was thinking. Although his relationship with Nellie seemed complicated, it was indeed simple because they had nothing to do with each other. Their families had been friends for generations, and she was just the sister of his ex-girlfriend.

“I’m not overthinking. You don’t love each other, yet you both agreed to get engaged.” Gabrielle wanted to clarify all the doubts in her heart. “That’s because I didn’t meet you earlier. I didn’t know I’d meet you, so I agreed to the engagement.” Westley pinched her cheek. “How could it be my fault?” Gabrielle mumbled. “It’s not your fault. I never thought I would marry a woman I would fall in love with, so I thought I might as well marry someone nice and obedient. Besides, I know Nellie very well. You know I’m indebted to the Collins family. As long as they didn’t make any excessive demands, I agreed,” Westley said helplessly.
