Although Gabrielle didn't give birth to Star, yet her maternal instincts were always at work when he was around.
It was like an activated alarm within her.
She was careful about his schedule and diet.
Even when she was shopping outside, she would worry if Star had eaten his lunch.
And Westley was a good support as well.
He dee happy when he saw her being so caring and responsible.
Seeing Gabrielle being such a good mother to Star, he was certain about how sht would care for their own children.
Observing Gabrielle, he'd often start thinking of their future together.
He was looking forward to having their own child.
"Star and Tammy are such nice kids.
They had Mn at home while I was there.
And when! left home, they were taking their afternoen nap.
I suppose by|the time we get back, they will be awake!"
Westley put the cup of coffee in Gabrielle's hand and started the car.
On their way, Gabrielle had seen a bakery which Was nearly a century old.
She wanted to buy some cakes for the kids.
She thought they would definitely like it.
Besides, she wanted Westley to have a taste as well.
So, while returning on the same way, she decided to stop at the bakery.
"Westley, could you stop here for a while?"
she said as she pointed towards the bakery.
Westley was surprised when Gabrielle suddenly asked him to “ the car.
"What's wrong, honey?"
Westley asked in a worried tone.
He thought there was something wrong or maybe she was feeling sick.
"Westley, have you tried the desserts and cakes from here?"
Gabrielle asked in a jovial mood.
"The desserts from this place? Why?"
Westley didnt understand what Gabrielle was trying to tell.
"Yes! Have you tried it before?"
"Not really. You know, I don't really have a sweet taoth!"
Westley said honestly.
The fact was that when he was growing up, he had seen a lot of food.
It didn't matter if the items were from abroad or prepared at home.
He had seen it all on the Morris family's table.
Moreover, Westley hardly preferred any snacks.
"Well, while I was growing up, I always bought desserts from this place.
I believe the desserts here are the best in Antawood.
I want to buy some for Star and Tammy to try.
You should give them a try as well, maybe you'll like them too."
Gabrielle was very sure that Westley would fall in love with the desserts from the bakery.
"Okay. In that case, I'll park the car here.
Come on, let's get some things,"
Westley said as he too wanted to check out the place and their items.
"Have you seen it? It's right there.
Nothing about the bakery is very remarkable or extravagant.
But look, there are so many people, waiting in a queue to buy the desserts made here."
Gabrielle saw a long line of people waiting in front of the bakery.
The line was visible even from a distance.
Surprisingly, this was not the busiest time of the day for the bakery.
If it was a weekend or holidays, the customers waiting to buy desserts would probably be triple! "I'll pull over the car here.
Do you want me to come along with you?” Westley asked with concern as he parked the car.
"No! I can go alone. Just wait in the car for me. Drink up that coffee."
Gabrielle gave him the cup of coffee which was in her hand.
While she had been talking, Westley took out his muffler and put it around her neck.
"Here, put it on. It's too cold out there!” "That's so sweet.
Thank you, honey!"
A smile came upon Gabrielle's face.
She moved closer and kissed him on the cheek.
"Gabrielle, go!” "Wait for me in the car.
You will love the desserts. I promise!"
Gabrielle got off the car quickly and went to join the queue.
The line was long but the service was fast.
Soon it was her turn.
