Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 583

Westley answered the phone from the corridor, so Gabrielle entered the ward alone.

The nurse was leaving when Gabrielle walked in after she had cleaned Nellie. Nellie had woken up, and she looked pale as she lay on the bed. She whispered something as if she was talking to the baby while she touched her belly gently.

The moment Gabrielle walked in, Nellie turned around and glared at her subconsciously. Nellie was somehow bewildered by the strange face for a moment.

“Excuse me, are you looking for someone?” Nellie asked warily.

Noticing the alertness in her eyes, Gabrielle relaxed a little.

That meant Nellie was not a lovely but dumb woman.

“I’m certainly here to see you, Miss Collins.” Gabrielle walked to her bedside, looking at Nellie casually and then at her belly. She had probably been pregnant for five months.

“Do I know you?” Nellie obviously wanted no one to gawk at her tummy like this, so she reflexively pulled over the comforter.

Gabrielle asked the nurse to give them a moment and then drew a chair to sit on.

“Don’t get scared. I’m not here to do you harm. My name is Gabrielle Jones, and your baby will grow up knowing me as his aunt.” She calmly introduced herself.

“You must be Bryce’s sister, raised by the Jones family, right?” Nellie’s aggression towards Gabrielle dissipated. life of always hiding had turned Nellie’s insecurities into something else. She was never comfortable around every new person she met. “I never thought that Bryce would mention me. I bet what he said about me wasn’t something pleasing especially when you think of how much he hates

me.” Truly, there was no humor in that. Bryce despised her deeply. Hence, he couldn’t have said anything positive. Gabrielle was certain.

The only surprise was Bryce’s mention of her in front of Nellie. Bryce hated her so much, and he should be indifferent about mentioning her ever in his life. “Miss Jones, I beg to differ. Bryce might despise you to extremes but I didn’t hear him say anything bad about you.” More precisely, Nellie was meeting Gabrielle for the first time so they didn’t like each other too extensively. On top of that, Bryce greatly disliked her, meaning he must have said a lot of bad things about her to Nellie.

That of course made Nellie dislike her. “Well, from my point of view, you and Bryce have a good connection.” Gabrielle sounded a little displeased from how she sounded, but facts were facts. For a long time, Bryce had a crush on Nellie, and she was his Muse. Else, he wouldn’t have risked offending the Morris amily just like that. After all, a commoner would never have the guts to offend such a family. “I wouldn’t have kept the baby were it not for the love we have for each other,” Nellie responded calmly. But on mentioning the baby, her face turned tender.

A woman had to be placid when she became a mother, which meant she already loved the baby in her belly immeasurably.

“Miss Collins, I can tell that you love this child so much.

I also know that you want to use it to get rid of the Collins family. We can help you. The only thing you need to do is work with us.” Gabrielle gave her a serious look.

The baby in Nellie’s belly was really a jackpot. The baby was meant to change a lot of dynamics. Westley would finally and completely cut off the relationship with the Collins family. The baby was also Nellie’s chip to get rid of the Collins family, and Gabrielle’s reason to put a boundary between her and the Jones family in the future.

Overall, the child was key to a lot of things for them all, but Gabrielle was not about to tell Nellie too much now.

They were rivals, but whenever something affected them all, then they’d come together.

The Collins and Jones family had done that, and so did Nellie and Gabrielle.

“Miss Jones, how you and Bryce relate doesn’t matter to me. Just let me give birth safely, I love this child and the child might be my last and first. It’s almost impossible that I can give birth again. It was a lucky shot this time, the doctor even saw it as a miracle. No matter what goes down, it’s very essential that I give birth. Please.” As a second young lady from the Collins family, Nellie had had her own sense of eagle and dignity since she was a toddler.

Hence, she rarely pleaded with anyone, but for the baby, Nellie would beg Gabrielle for anything.

“It’s okay. Westley and I are working hard to make sure everything favors you,” Gabrielle said calmly. If the baby was born safely, many problems would be solved. “Westley and you… Are you really married?” Nellie asked Gabrielle in disbelief. Even though she’d heard Gabrielle was married to Westley, Nellie couldn’t buy that. After all, Westley was a difficult man to get along with. He was only tender to her sister, Helena. Even if Westley got engaged to Nellie later, he dealt with her as if she was an alien, not as his fiancée. Definitely, Nellie couldn’t consider him her fiancé. From her perspective, this man was merely her uture brother-in-law. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nellie got engaged to Westley forcefully. These were the doings of the Collins family. “Westley is my husband. All the feuds that you ever had in the past should be left in the past. There is no need to revisit it,” Gabrielle said coolly. She was proclaiming her marriage to Westley. They were husband and wife. From then on, anything to do with Westley ould be their private affairs, and no one else would meddle with it. “It never occurred to me that he’d get married. I thought Helena took his heart and soul

with her when she died, so he wouldn’t marry ever again.” Nellie didn’t intend to piss off Gabrielle, but to say what she thought was true.

When she was forced to marry Westley despite her objections, it hit her that she was just an accessory and no substitute. She had never dreamt of such a marriage. “I will only marry the woman I love the most in my life, and that woman is Gabrielle,” Westley declared calmly and coldly as he opened the door.
