Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 386

There was grievance in Gabrielle's eyes when she looked at Westley. It was obvious that she was feeling uneasy being around Helena's tomb.

She felt as though she stole Westley from Helena, and that she was here to apologize for it.

Gabrielle didn't have the courage to meet that woman.

"What's the matter, Gabrielle?" Westley didn't anticipate that she would be so unwilling to meet Helena.

At first, he thought that after they had talked about it, there would be no more secrets left between them.

He thought that Gabrielle would no longer feel burdened to meet Helena.

"Westley, are you trying to humiliate me? I'm your wife, and yet you brought me to your ex-fiancée? It makes me uncomfortable and scared. Right now, I feel like I'm a thief who stole you away from her," Gabrielle explained anxiously.

It took Westley a moment before he understood what she was saying. Obviously, she misunderstood him.

'She thought that I took her to see Helena in order to humiliate her? What is she thinking?' Westley chuckled helplessly.

'Why would I want to humiliate her?'

"Gabrielle, you misunderstood me. I never intended to humiliate you. I brought you here to see Helena because I want her to know that I have a loving wife now. I'm ready to completely move on from her. I owed her my life, and all this time that I've been helping the Collins family had been a constant effort to make it up to her. And I promise I will keep helping them," Westley explained while looking into her eyes.

It never even crossed his mind to bring her here in order to humiliate her.

"Really?" Gabrielle couldn't seem to believe it.

She really believed that he brought her here to make her feel guilty.

"Of course! I'm sorry about that. I should've made it clear to you from the start. Do you mind getting out of the car now? Or would you like me to carry you down?" Westley asked while maintaining eye contact.

Now that he had explained the situation to her, Gabrielle felt much better, so she got off the car.

"I'm sorry that I misunderstood your intention, Westley." Gabrielle couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye, for she was too ashamed of herself.

"Come on, let's go. I'd like you to meet Helena." With a bouquet of flowers in one hand, Westley held Gabrielle's hand with the other, and led her into the cemetery.

Helena's tombstone wasn't that far away, so they arrived shortly.

As he held her hand, walking past rows and rows of tombstones, they soon stopped in front of one.

"Gabrielle, here she is." Westley stood before the tombstone, and gently placed the flowers in front of it, calmly looking at the photo on the tombstone.

Gabrielle glanced at the photo and saw a beautiful young woman who had a bright smile on her face.

She recognized the woman at a glance, for one of this woman's photos was on Westle

y's desk.

Helena was indeed a beautiful woman. Even as a woman, herself, Gabrielle was attracted to her smile.

If that tragic accident never happened, perhaps this woman would've been Westley's wife instead of her.
