Gabrielle was well aware that Westley had no feelings for the Collins family and Nellie's unborn baby.
Therefore, she would no longer doubt about his feelings and intention even if he had hidden something which was related to them from her.
As she believed, Westley didn't tell Gabrielle about all these things because he didn't want her to worry too much. After all, the more she knew, the sadder she would feel.
He just wanted to make her happy without any worry and all the troubles were for himself to solve.
"I know. After Nellie's baby is born, you can just see it as paying for what you owed the Collins family and stop burdening yourself with Helena's death. After all, what happened to Helena was an accident. You can't blame everything on yourself." Gabrielle held his hand tightly and comforted him in a soft voice.
"I know, after this, I am going to cut them off of my life. I have tried my best to make up what I need to and I don't want to have anything to do with them," Westley said seriously as he put his arm around Gabrielle's shoulder.
Before he fell in love with Gabrielle, he had always agreed to every request of the Collins family without any objection.
However, it was different now with Gabrielle around in his life. No matter what he did, it was his responsibility to consider whether it would affect Gabrielle or make her unhappy.
He had to consider whether she would be bothered by his decisions and actions.
His number one rule was to never do anything that might upset her in any way.
From now on, he had cut off the Collins family from his business.
"Westley, I'm glad that you decided to do so. But I am not sure it will be easy since the Collins family and your family have been friends for so many years. You don't need to force yourself under stressful situation for my sake. I'm already happy enough to know that you are considering for me." Gabrielle gave a grateful smile to Westley.
This man was the husband she had decided to accompany all her life. She naturally knew what kind of person he was.
That was also the reason why they needed trust and space as a pair of husband and wife.
"Gabrielle, I'll deal with it and I will make sure not to let you suffer from any unnecessary misunderstandings." Hearing this, Westley couldn't help but rub her head, his heart feeling warm and relieved.
Right, this was the woman he loved, who had a pure and kind heart.
"So, from now on, no matter what the case is, can you share your burden with me? I won't blame you or make a scene whatever it is. We can always discuss and I will try to understand you no matter what you do, alright?" Gabrielle persuaded softly while looking at him seriously.
After all, married couples had to share their secrets together. If they hid everything from each other, it would end up ruining their marriage.
Westley gently smiled and agreed. "Alright, I will do as you say." Although he said so, he would still keep those complicated bloody things to himself in order not to let her feel scared or worried.
"That's settled then. You will tell me everything that involves me." Of course, Gabrielle also knew there was a bottom line for everybody. She wouldn't ask Westley to tell her everything which she didn't need to know.
"I will, so... You have forgiven me for this, right? I kept it secret because I just didn't want you to worry about me." Westley lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead as an apology.
"What, were you afraid that I would make a scene and ask you to sign for the divorce agreement once I find out about Bryce and Nellie?" Gabrielle raised her eyebro
ws with a wicked smile on her face.
