Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 387

Gabrielle didn't say anything. She just kept silent and listened as Westley spoke to Helena.

Westley kept saying that he loved her and he would be good to her for the rest of his life. Gabrielle felt something tug on her heartstrings.

"Helena, I brought Gabrielle here to see you today because I want you to know that I have someone who loves and cares about me deeply now. You can be rest assured that I'm more than fine and happy." Westley was standing there with his back ramrod straight. He was looking at Helena intently, as if he was desperate for her to know the gravity of each word he said.

Gabrielle knew that it must have taken him a lot of courage to come here to see Helena and introduce Gabrielle to her.

The gesture moved Gabrielle. It also spoke volumes of how far he had come from when their relationship began.

Westley did this to make Gabrielle feel better.

He was so considerate of her feelings, and she felt something bloom in her chest.

Subconsciously, she reached out and held Westley's hand tightly. The two of them held each other's hands and stood there, staring at Helena's photo quietly and solemnly.

"Gabrielle, did you hear what I said?" Westley whispered to her, his eyes soft and tender as he stared at Gabrielle.

Of course she heard him—every single word, loud and clear.

And Gabrielle was deeply touched because of what he did. She couldn't even begin to describe how emotional she felt in that moment.

"Yes, every word." She gave him a small smile.

"Gabrielle, I said this to both Helena and you. From now on, you're the only woman I will ever love." Westley tipped her face towards his.

Gabrielle knew he meant every word he said. Westley was a man of honor.

He wouldn't have taken her here just to lie to her in front of Helena. He wasn't that cruel.

"I know. Thank you for trusting me and loving me," Gabrielle said, almost choking with emotion on the last word.

"You silly girl, you deserve all the best." Westley pulled her into his arms and wrapped her in a fierce hug. He rubbed his cheek on her hair.

Gabrielle leaned against his chest and stole a peek at Helena's photo. She felt her face blush with embarrassment.

Helena was Westley's ex-fiancée. Hugging like this in front of her photo seemed a bit inappropriate.

'Miss Collins, thank you for saving Westley. Don't worry, I will take good care of him.'

Gabrielle closed her eyes and made the promise.

What happened between Helena and Westley was in the past now, no matter how close they were. Helena would always be a part of his life.

But he was Gabrielle's husband now.

"Thank you." Gabrielle's voice was low, but she was certain Westley heard her.

Westley held her tighter, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. His lips lingered there for a few beats.

"Are you cold?"

Winter was still here, and they were standing in a cemetery.

"A little," Gabrielle admitted. Her breath even plumed, and her teeth almost chattered.

She didn't know why, but she always felt colder in the cemetery than anywhere else.
