Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 557

The moment this topic was brought up the atmosphere in the car became very serious.

Westley patted gently on Gabrielle's shoulder and said softly, "Hey, don't be too sad, okay? We should be happy that he is still alive. As long as he is alive, there is hope."

At the moment, that was all Westley could think of to comfort his wife.

It was common for men from wealthy families to have mistresses and illegitimate children unknown to their wives. Most of these wealthy men led a life of deceit.

Some even had several mistresses and illegitimate children.

Westley had a deep contempt for these kinds of men. Why got married if it was to be so frivolous? Since he had tied the knot with Gabrielle and wanted to have several children with her, Westley knew he would have to take responsibility as a husband and as a father. If he was unable to do that, then he better not get married at all.

"It is therefore up to us to raise this child and ensure he lives a happy life." Gabrielle was truly sorry for this poor child who suddenly found himself an orphan. But on the other hand, she was really happy that he had crossed their path.

"Yeah, we will raise this child as our own. I have no doubt that you will be a good mother," Westley said in a comforting tone.

His words touched Gabrielle and she turned to look at him, a smile lighting up her face. "I also believe that you will be a good father," she said softly.

"Gabrielle, how about we had another child so the two could grow up together? Otherwise, he will be too lonely." You could call it selfishness, but Westley was pretty pragmatic. He had married Gabrielle, so it was normal that they had their own children. They couldn't just raise other people's children and never taste the joy of giving birth.

"Well, let's go back to Antawood first and then we can make a decision," Gabrielle replied. She and Westley had been married for a long time. Moreover, they had a pretty solid relationship. So, they could definitely consider having a child.

"Okay."

Westley was happy with Gabrielle's response. At least this time, she didn't refuse to have a baby with him.

Silence settled in the car. Gabrielle looked thoughtful for a moment when suddenly she stared at the man next to her and asked, "Westley... do you think that one day you too will have mistresses and several illegitimate children? Do you think you can hide such a heavy secret from me?" Gabrielle studied his face, eager to know his answer. After all, many men behaved like that, so she wondered if that would be the case for Westley too.

Since the dawn of time, men had all fantasized about having several wives. If they weren't polygamous, they at least had mistresses.

"A mistress?" Westley was utterly stunned. He didn't expect that Gabrielle would ask him such a question. However, he was really curious as to why she asked him that.

Westley smiled helplessly and asked, "Why do you think I would keep a mistress?"

"Come on, Westley. Almost every man dreams of having multiple wives. Do you really never think about that too?" Gabrielle couldn't believe Westley had never thought of such a thing. He was a man after all.

"Gabrielle, before I met you, I didn't even want to get married. Do you really think I want a mistress? Women are really difficult beings to deal with. They are very troublesome. One is enough for me. I don't have the energy to take care of many of them," Westley said sincerely.

However, Gabrielle understood Westley's words in an entirely different way.

"I know you well, Westley. You think I'm troublesome but you just won't say it directly, right? You see, you don't really love me anymore. I'm sure if you find another woman who isn't as troublesome as I am, I'm sure you'll go with her," Gabrielle said with a sad face.

Hearing what she just said, Westley sighed and

then laughed. "Gabrielle, how could I no longer love you? I want you to know that there's only room for you in my heart."

It was only then that Gabrielle understood the true meaning of Westley's words earlier. He thought all women, no matter what, were annoying. Since he already had one, he wouldn't want another.
