After hearing what Alexis said, Gabrielle might have known how good Westley was in school back then, even though she didn't
know it then.
Westley was, as Gabrielle suspected, the most popular student in school.
“Alexis, if you continue glorifying Westley in this manner, you will elevate him to Divine status." Joseph could no longer hear.
Although Westley had always been an outstanding student and had been offered a full scholarship to a prestigious international
institution, he had maintained a quiet profile.
“This is not hyperbole. Gabrielle, you must believe what I have said. I am saying the truth, and I have only stated a portion of it.
After all, our boss was a truly gorgeous young man in our school. If you could attend the same school as us..."
“Are you not overthinking it? Gabrielle is far younger than we are. Of course we graduated from the school earlier than she."
Joseph pitied Alexis’ intellect.
Alexis laughed out loudly and without embarrassment. He appeared to be rather composed. "I have forgotten. If that is the case,
Gabrielle would be our junior. We would be unable to meet at school. It's a shame.
What I was attempting to convey was that if Gabrielle attended the same school as us, would Westley change? He declined gifts
from other girls. Would he reject Gabrielle's gift? I'm intrigued by the prospect of them meeting in school." Alexis was visualizing
these events.
Gabrielle didn't consider it, but after hearing Alexis’ remarks, she was intrigued by the prospect of Westley and her becoming
schoolmates. A girl like her would have been unable to capture the school star's attention.
"I'm not sure I would give Westley a present. After all, I lacked courage,” Gabrielle said seriously.
Alexis had not foreseen Gabrielle's reaction. He eyed her with disbelief. "Gabrielle, what makes you believe that? If you lacked the
courage to offer Westley a present, who else would?" }
They were a lovely pair in Alexis' eyes now, thus they must have fallen in love like ten years ago from the way they knew each
other. :
Alexis was a believer in destiny. He was always of the opinion that two people in love may remain together not just in this life,
but also in their prior and subsequent lives.
"Didn't you say that many girls back then admired Westley? He must have received as many gifts as he received. How many
cartons did he receive of love letters?" Gabrielle was not making a joke. Given Westley's popularity, he must have won a lot of
girls’ hearts.
Not to mention particular festivals, he must have gotten a plethora of love letters and presents during routine times.
"Gabrielle, you misjudged Westley completely." Alexis shook his head, disrupting Gabrielle's thought process. He did not want to
criticize Westley, but rather to provide Gabrielle with information about Westley's background, in order for her to develop a
greater affection for him.
He had no intention of creating misunderstandings between them.
"Didn't you just say that several girls sent him presents daily? Is it possible that I misheard? Or were you implying that Westley
was not sufficiently endearing?" Gabrielle looked at Alexis suspiciously. He had just mentioned Westley's popularity at school,
and now he denied it. He was so quick to change his opinion that she would not trust him.
"No, you heard correctly. Westley was the school's most endearing student.” Alexis shook his head, denying the accusation on
Gabrielle's face.
He felt as if he were digging himself a hole, and he simply acted foolishly. Gabrielle was, after all, Westley's wife. She was
supposed to take on the characteristics of her husband. He almost forgot.
It was not simple to deceive Gabrielle at this point. She was so astute that she could distinguish between true and untrue.
If he was not careful, he would get himself into trouble. By then, Westley would settle a debt with him.
