'A baby?'
Gabrielle was stunned. They had been talking about Tammy and Westley and she didn't know how the topic got diverted.
Bonnie had a more direct approach than Miley when it came to urging them to have a child.
"Well, I think kids are cute, but we just got married. We're not in a hurry to have a baby.
It's a bit too soon." Gabrielle cleared her throat and looked at Westley, hoping he would help her. She was caught off guard and didn't know what to say.
Westley understood what she meant. He put his hand on her shoulder reassuringly and looked at Bonnie.
"Bonnie, we're not in a hurry. We just got married. Besides, Gabrielle hasn't graduated from college yet. We'll consider it when she officially graduates. It's her body and her choice, after all.' Although Westley was answering Bonnie, it was a sly reminder to everyone present not to bother them anymore.
Westley and Gabrielle had just gotten married, and he was determined to spend the rest of his life with her. Every decision and move was for them to make. He didn't want anyone to interfere in their lives.
Miley was pleased to hear Westley's answer. Although she was desperate to see them have a baby, Westley was right. They had just gotten married, and Gabrielle was still young. She had to graduate from college first. Now wasn't the right time for them to have kids.
Miley had urged them to have a baby because she thought it would strengthen their bond. However, she realized that as long as the two loved each other, they would soon decide to have a baby.
Westley was crazy in love with Gabrielle. Therefore, using the baby to strengthen the bond seemed unnecessary now.
"Well, it looks like she doesn't want to have your child," Westley's mother, Liana, grunted with jealousy. She didn't like Gabrielle.
She couldn't accept the fact that the adopted daughter of the Jones family got married to her son, the CEO of the Morris Group.
Moreover, Bryce was with Nellie now, which made her hate the Jones family even more.
She had thought Gabrielle looked innocent and harmless but realized she had been wrong all along.
Only a few months had passed, and Gabrielle had wrapped Westley around her little finger.
The way her son adored Gabrielle always annoyed her.
Liana disliked her from the very beginning, and her hatred seemed to intensify with time.
"Grandma, do you like me?" Tammy asked happily as she lay in Liana's arms.
Liana smiled and ruffled her hair. "Of course, I love you so much. You are adorable. What's not to like about you?"
Liana loved her
granddaughter and was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law, Bonnie. The Campbell family was wealthy and held a powerful position in Italy. They had control over the government and the underworld. Moreover, Bonnie's mother was the daughter of the Mafia in Italy. Everything about her was perfect.
Tammy was born into such an influential family. Therefore, she received abundant love the second she was born.
Liana was proud to be her grandmother and Bonnie's mother-in-law.
