Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 385

Staring hesitantly at Westley, Gabrielle spoke up finally.

"What does that mean, Westley?" She wanted to understand what he meant without having to make a guess.

Guessing was one thing she so much disliked.

"By telling you about Helena, Bonnie acknowledged you as a member of the family. You see, that is rather some kind of family secret, and it's forbidden that we tell outsiders," Westley explained in a calm voice.

Gabrielle now understood. She could now see that Bonnie had really treated her as one of the Morris family.

"Did Bonnie say something about you helping me out of the guilt?" he asked suddenly.

Gabrielle gaped at Westley.

"How did you know about that?" she asked him, her eyes dilated with surprise.

Westley always seemed to know everything, and it made her wonder if he could read other people's minds.

"I have changed a lot, and that's because of you, Gabrielle. I'm sure Bonnie must be expecting so much more from you," Westley said with a smile.

He knew how concerned his brother and sister-in-law were about him.

Bonnie had always worried about him.

His sudden marriage to Gabrielle must have made Bonnie investigate her the more.

But it gladdened him too that she could talk to Gabrielle about Helena. It showed that she saw Gabrielle as family now.

"I'm afraid I may not meet her expectations, Westley," Gabrielle said flatly and honestly.

She feared that she would not be capable of this difficult task.

When she had first married Westley, Gabrielle never thought she would have such a great impact on him. And if Bonnie hadn't told her, she wouldn't have even known how much she had changed him.

Now Gabrielle couldn't promise Bonnie that she could live up to all the expectations she had for her already.

Westley held her hands now. "No, I trust you can, Gabrielle," he said. "I feel guilty for what happened to Helena. I still do. After all, she died for me, and I can never forget her for that. But the fact is that I don't love her any longer." The earnestness was thick in his voice.

For a very long time, he had been rehearsing these words in his mind.

Thinking about Helena left him with mixed feelings.

On the one hand, he owed her his life and would always be grateful to her for risking her life to save him. However, ever since Gabrielle came into the picture, he noticed that his love for Helena had begun to fade.

"You don't love her anymore?" Gabrielle asked him, her mouth agape in utter disbelief.

When Bonnie told her about Westley and Helena, she had thought they had both been deeply in love with e

ach other and were even going to get married.

Why did Westley now claim not to love her anymore?

"Yes. See, Gabrielle, I can tell you all you need to know about Helena," he said, staring into her eyes.
