Bonnie led Gabrielle to the swing in the yard, and they chatted under the sun.
"Bonnie, does Wilson know how to cook?" Gabrielle asked worriedly.
Westley was a capable cook, which she had acknowledged herself.
Every time they were here, Westley would be the one to cook three meals a day. Even though he was injured, it didn't hinder him from cooking for Gabrielle.
Besides, he was willing to do anything for her.
"Your brother is a good cook. You know, I started to like him because of his cooking!" Bonnie couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned the story.
Upon hearing this, Gabrielle looked at her in disbelief. In Gabrielle's heart, a big boss like Wilson shouldn't be the one slaving away in a kitchen.
"You can't believe it, can you? Trust me, I couldn't, either. When I met your brother, he was a top student at Harvard University. I met him at a party. He may look amiable, but he's always so standoffish and aloof. He was one of the top students in the university, and he had a good family background. Many women fell head over heels for him, but they were too scared to even approach him. Even those who had the guts to talk to him ended up getting rejected. Then, one day, I asked him out for a drink. I thought he would reject me right away, but to my surprise, he accepted." Bonnie had never told anyone about her and Wilson's love story.
In the past, there was nobody she could share this story with. She was the Campbell Family's eldest daughter. Though few people outside knew her true identity, she had to be cautious about who she acquainted herself with, so it was hard for her to make friends. She didn't even have a single friend to talk to.
Now, she had Gabrielle. Since they were in-laws now, Bonnie was happy to tell Gabrielle some stories about her past.
"You're so brave, Bonnie! Maybe Wilson didn't reject you, because you're his type," Gabrielle remarked with curiosity.
"Perhaps you're right, Gabrielle. It took me a long time to find out that Wilson noticed me before I even paid attention to him. But my identity was a mystery, so I think that's why he was very cautious around me. He only went to the party, for he knew that I'd be there. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the party. He always hated parties." While she was speaking, Bonnie broke into laughter. She thought that Wilson was adorable and was quite good at hiding his feelings at the time.
She wondered if Wilson would keep his love for her a secret for the rest of his life if she didn't like him back.
'Perhaps we could've missed out on each other if that had happened," she remarked inwardly.
"Ah, Wilson is a reserved man, I see!" Gabrielle laughed as well. It really surprised her that the big shot Wilson had a soft side. He was indeed adorable.
In her opinion, Wilson shouldn't be so cute.
"Reserved? Well, maybe at first he was. I guess he wouldn't take action if he's not sure of something. Later on, he found out that I also had a crush on him, so he pursued me fervently!" Bonnie covered her mouth while laughing.
"That's his style." Gabrielle was amused of how Wilson behaved, which was how the men of the Morris family normally behaved.
Once the target was clear, they would take action and would stop at nothing to get what they wanted.
This was the nature of the Morris family. They were decisive, quick, and precise!
"A few days later, I caught a cold and felt uncomfortable lying on bed in my apartment. He took time off his hands to visit me, and he said that he wished to take care of me. At the time, I thought that a rich young man would refuse to enter a kitchen, but I was surprised that he p
ersonally cooked porridge an entire feast of dishes for me. I ate so much that day and was very satisfied! That was when he and I formally got together," Bonnie happily narrated.
"If you want to win a person's heart, you first have to win that person's stomach. That's how it went down between you and Wilson, huh?" Gabrielle asked seriously.
Upon hearing her say that, Bonnie smiled. "That's right! Though I had fallen in love with him and even thought of marrying him in the future, I only made the decision during that meal. If a man is willing to cook for a woman, he'll definitely be a good husband in the future!"
