Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 637

Bonnie's words startled Austin and his hands trembled so much that he almost dropped the glass in his hand. Fortunately, he managed to grip it well.

Austin assumed he had hidden this secret of his well enough. However, Bonnie found it out at a glance, which made him feel a little confused and he didn't dare to look right into her eyes.

How come she found it out so quickly like this?

"Austin, you don't need to be panicked. I don't think it's wrong of you to fall in love with someone, but that is as long as you don't intend to destroy their happiness." Bonnie spoke as she noticed that Austin's expression looked tense and even the veins stood out on the back of his hand.

She knew that she had hit the mark and based on his reaction, it seemed that he was trying so hard to endure the pain of loving someone who didn't love him back. Although Bonnie had never experienced it personally, she could guess how bad that feeling might be.

Especially for someone like Austin who had feelings for someone he shouldn't have. After all, the other person was his cousin's wife. He didn't even have the right to validate his feelings.

"Bonnie, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not in love with Gabrielle or anything. She is my junior schoolmate and also my friend. What's more, she is Westley's wife. We're in good terms and nothing more." Austin explained earnestly.

Even he felt that those words were nowhere near believable himself. Sighing, he attempted to hold back his distress.

Nevertheless, he couldn't let others know his feelings for Gabrielle, not even Bonnie.

What she said was right. It was never wrong to love someone, but if his feelings became a threat for their happy life, it was unforgivable.

However, she didn't need to worry about that because he would bury his feelings deep in his heart and never ever meddle in her life. After all, he could see that Westley's love towards her was truthful and Gabrielle looked content and happy in her life.

"Oh, then I must have thought wrong. It turns out that you and Gabrielle had been good friends since before. Now that you're a family, it's natural that you two have become closer. I shouldn't have said that. Sorry, Austin. I hope you don't mind." Bonnie bit her lip and apologized sincerely. She sensed vaguely that Austin might harbor a special feeling for Gabrielle, but since he denied, she shouldn't think that way anymore.

She was just worried that this kind of thing would end up damaging the relationship between him and Westley.

As the sister-in-law of Morris family, Bonnie always hoped that all the relatives could get along well with each other. She didn't want any dispute to destroy the peace they had currently.

"It doesn't matter, Bonnie. I'm just like this because I am not in a good mood. It must be because of yesterday's stomachache. Anyway, I'm delighted to have dinner with you today."

Austin made up a lame excuse for his reaction just now.

Even though Bonnie also thought that it was lame, she didn't point it out.

"Take care of yourself well then. You have to get better soon since there will be a family reunion dinner held by Morris family tomorrow. As their grandson, you should definitely come." Bonnie went along the flow with a grin on her face.

This kind of event had been an old tradition of Morris family. On the third day of the festival, they'd always make the dinner arrangement in a hotel, and all the family members and relatives would be invited.

Being the grandson of Morris family, Austin would have to be there for sure.

"I know, Bonnie. Don't worry, I'll be okay by tomorrow," Austin responded calmly without any emotion in his tone.

Bonnie didn't address any more word.

"Gabrielle, you know what, I take back what I said just now. Look at how awesome your life is. I can't just get married randomly because I have to find a good husband like yours!"

Hearing his voice, Lolita was stunned, and then she laughed out loud. "Is this the company's way of giving bonus to us for this year? I am not sure if I could count on it."

"Huh? What kind of company are you guys talking about? If there's such system, I want to apply for it too! Boss, are you short of hands? In any case, you can take me. I can either clean the floor or serve the water for employees. I can do anything!" Macy nodded to herself as she said with a determined expression on her face.

"Miss Taylor, I'm really sorry. The personnel department is still on holiday as of now. I'll ask them if there's any suitable position for you when they get back to work." Jason replied Macy's request with a sense of humor in his tone.

How could Macy not know that he was refusing her? She didn't mind it anyway since it was a joke.

Everyone was amused by the willful words of Macy and Lolita while the two children were playing happily beside them. At this moment, one could truly feel the animated vibe of the festival as everyone was feeling happy.

"Everyone, lunch is ready. Please take a seat." Sophie invited them to have lunch as she and the chefs had finished preparing.

Except for the two children, Star and Tammy, all the adults took their seats.

"Look, I didn't expect Tammy to be so considerate towards Star. She's even taking care of Star excitedly." Bonnie spoke in a low voice as she watched her daughter sitting on the carpet, eating with a small bowl in one hand while chatting with Star from time to time. It was obvious that she was trying her best not to let Star be bored alone.

"She really is considerate, Bonnie. Since she arrived, she had been looking after Star, talking to him and keeping him company enthusiastically. How adorable she is!" Gabrielle also agreed as she described the considerate acts of Tammy.

Bonnie and Wilson gazed at each other and smiled before Bonnie shook her head, muttering, "She's not like this back at home. Although she is obedient, she is also willful, young and fearless. Since she has always been the one to be taken care of since she was a kid, she didn't care about doing so to others. In Campbell Family, there is also a child who is at her age, and there are also the ones who are younger among our relatives. But this girl seldom plays with any of them. I didn't expect that she would change as soon as she saw Star. Honey, I'm a little worried that she would care more about her friends than she does for her relatives."

"Don't talk nonsense. Star is Westley's kid, which means he's also our family." Wilson didn't think so much as Bonnie did. As a father, he was just pleased to see that there was a bond between the two kids.
