Among Westley’s friends, the one who desired for marriage the most turned out to be Alexis, who was the wildest. In other
people's perspective, he was the most unlikely person to own the thought of settling down. So, this was beyond Gabrielle's
expectation.
Especially when he asked her about any single girl she knew, she felt a little awkward and didn't really know what to say.
"Alexis, I'm afraid I can't help you," Gabrielle replied while rubbing her nose in embarrassment
"Gabrielle, does this mean all the friends you know had already been married?" Alexis asked disappointedly.
He had thought that since Gabrielle was young, her friends should be at the same age as her as well. After all, few girls got
married in their early twenties. 7
Therefore, he asked for such a request, thinking he had a great chance. Now, hearing what Gabrielle said, he immediately got
upset. It seemed that there was no chance for him.
"It's not like that. Although they are my best friends, I don't pay much attention to their private affairs since I respect their
privacy. No matter how close we are, it still can't be violated. Just like when I married Westley, I didn't tell them at first until
everything became settled. Hence, if they don't want to talk to me about their personal relationship, I don't usually pursue it
further. So, I can't say if they are all singles or not," Gabrielle explained calmly as she expressed her opinion on boundaries.
She was willing to help if she could, but she really had no idea what to do.
"I understand now, but could you help me publicize myself then? Who knows, there could a girl who's available and willing to
have a casual talk with me. At that time, you can tell her my WhatsApp ID. How about that?” Alexis was quick-witted and
adaptable to the circumstances.
Gabrielle couldn't help grinning about how desperate and serious he was about this. Since he was like this, it wouldn't be nice if
she rejected it.
"Okay, I'll help you with it. But I have to wam you not to get your hope too high. You shouldn't expect too much for the result,
lest it doesn't work out.” Gabrielle nodded and intentionally gave Alexis a non-committal reply. She simply decided to give it a try
at least. -
"Really? Gabrielle, thank you very much. No matter what the result is, I'm looking forward to it!" Alexis was the type of person
who had a liberal attitude towards things in life. No matter what the result would be, as long as he had given it a go, he would
feel satisfied.
"I'll do it for you tonight.”
Gabrielle gave him a smile. She also hoped Alexis could find a good girl with this chance.
She had enough confidence in several of Westley's friends being all good men like him. Even though they had different
personalities, they were equivalently kind-hearted after all.
If her friends married any of them, she would be very happy.
“Gabrielle, I know you are excited about your first time acting as a matchmaker, but it's cold outside. Let's go back to the room and continue talking about it there, alright?" Westley held her hand and spoke up only now. He didn't want to disturb her since she was animatedly chatting with Alexis. However, it was too chilly outside and so, it wasn't good to stay here for a long time. He didn't want her to catch cold.
It was too easy for people to get sick in such a freezing weather. Moreover, if it happened, she wouldn't be able to have enough fun in this city.
