Chapter 728 His Youth
Originally, Westley had thought that if he didn't take part in the conversation, he would be excluded from this matter. However,
it turned out that he still had to take part in no matter what as he even got personally questioned by Gabrielle. This caused him to be in a tight position.
What was the best way to answer this question when a guy was being asked by his wife? In his school days, he was young and ignorant just like others. Was there anyone in their youth who didn't like pretty girls?.
Likewise, most girls would be fond of handsome jocks. It was natural for people to like things that were beautiful and aesthetic, so this kind of preference grew natural.
"Mr. Morris, what are you reluctant about? Is it so difficult to answer my question?" At the sight of Westley's silent and contemplating expression, Gabrielle couldn't help it anymore as she teased him.
Perhaps she understood that Westley must be very cute and handsome when he was young. He must have been like a celebrity at the school, which inevitably would draw the attention of the female peers.
"Not at all. I just don't know how to put this. Well, in my school days, I didn't pay much attention to anything except my grades. So, I didn't even have any type to begin with." Saying this, Westley cleverly changed the main focused topic as something he didn't even bother about.
He was basically saying that a good student like him would never do any indecent stuffs, let alone trying to eye girls.
Hearing this, Gabrielle chose to believe it. After all, based on Westley's personality, he indeed didn't seem like the one who would take the initiative to flirt with any girl.
It was more likely that lots of girls got enchanted by him and tried to do the confession. Even then, he would most likely have Just ignored them.
"So, you are saying you had always been a straight-A student who only cared about study, aren't you?" Gabrielle raised her eyebrows and ridiculed him. She was curious about how he was like back in his school life, but since he didn't feel like opening up, she would just drop it. After all, everyone had their own little secrets in their youth.
There were some people who didn't like to talk about their past. So, each person had their own way to avoid talking about it. Gabrielle understood that and respected it. -
After all, when it came to herself, there were things she didn't want to share either.
"I was not a straight-A student, just not so bad one. I have to answer this." Just then, Westley's phone rang coincidentally. He stood up and went outside to answer the phone.
Gabrielle knew that he got the nice excuse to avoid answering the question. Anyway, she still thought that he must have been a playboy at that time. There certainly must have been tons of girls who chased after him.
"Gabrielle, you are quite right. Westley had been the smartest and most handsome boy since kindergarten. So, many girls were obsessed with him. They sent him anything they could find; flowers, chocolate, and everything romantically related, you see." This was such a perfect opportunity to get back at Westley for the times he tortured them by showing off his relationship, so Alexis immediately started to snitch to Gabrielle about him enthusiastically.
Since Westley didn't want to tell her, he would do the job. Then again, even though Westley truly had that kind of moments during that period, there was actually nothing bad about him. Even though they grew up together, all Alexis knew about was positive aspects of him.
Therefore, all comments about this man were basically perfect.
"Really?" Hearing this, Gabrielle's interest was instantly aroused. She looked at Alexis with eyes lighting up in curiosity. Since
Westley didn't want to say anything, she had to get answers from Alexis.
It didn't matter whom it was from since it would be an equivalent result anyway. Moreover, it would be even more intriguing hearing one's gossip from others than the person in question.
"Absolutely! What I said is definitely true and I am not the type of person who make any iresponsible remarks. You can be reassured." Alexis promised very earnestly as he was also excited about engaging in Westley's gossip as well.
"Sure enough, it's exactly the same as I thought. He must have been very popular to attract so many young girls like that."
Gabrielle could guess that younger Westley would also have been perfect like right now.
Men who were excellent as an adult tended to be outstanding as a kid. Naturally, multiple girls would get enchanted by types like that. "That's correct. Westley has always been so charming, even as a little boy. I remember that he was the most handsome guy at our school. Numerous girls even lined up to give him gifts, and at times, they would ask us to do them a favor. What's funny is,
at the beginning though, I thought the gifts were for me and had the delusion of somehow becoming popular. Turned out it was just a mistake," Alexis uttered with a hint of remorse and distress in his tone.
"So, you did realize that, huh? Then, why don't you tell her a story about you eating up the chocolates meant for Westley a couple of times?" Jonas didn't pass this opportunity to bash his friend as he brought that straight up.
"Hey, bro, you can't wrong me like that. I ate them with Westley's permission, alright? He didn't want them, so he let me throw them away. I just felt that it was a pity to throw away, so I ate it. Westley allowed me to deal with it and I did in my way. So what?" Alexis gave Jonas a stern look. Right after he responded that way, he immediately regretted. Just now, he had been asking for a request from Gabnielle, but now, he revealed a bad side of himself. What would she think of him? Would she still help him find any partner with his ruined image like that?
"Even if Westley wanted you to dispose them, it didn't mean that you could just eat them by yourself. Maybe you just longed too much for the sweets, right?" Jonas retorted with a grin on his face.
Of course, how could Alexis be in a good mood when he was wronged like that repeatedly? He just felt that this brat was purposefully trying to sabotage his image in front of Gabrielle.
He couldn't even tell if he was his enemy or the best buddy anymore!
"It seems to me that you guys were very popular at that time. Go on, tell me more about Westley. I want to know more about his
youth and student life." Gabrielle was fully prepared to hear everything about Westley from his own best friends.
Whatever it was, she was interested in knowing everything about Westley's past. Whether it was about study or his love life, whether it was good or bad.
After all, she couldn't pass up this kind of good opportunity to gossip about Westley while he was away.
Even though they had married, she had never heard of anything about Westley's youth, so she felt it fresh and fun being able to inquire about it now.
To her, everything about him was interesting
"Well, we were popular, but the most popular person has always been Westley. In addition to his appearance, he's always been on the top of the list in grades, not to mention that he managed to achieve rewards from any competition he participated. It had to be said that as long as he wanted to do something, he would be capable of accomplishing it no matter how hard it was. Not only girls but also teachers liked him very much. You see, that's what we couldn't compare and none of us is better than him.
I've acknowledged and admitted that fact. Therefore, he would be always the one we admire the most in our friend group." Alexis described about Westley's younger self in delight.
