Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 324
Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 324 Shut Up Gabrielle hesitated to respond when Lance asked her about her whereabouts. She just wanted to be alone without anyone bothering her.
She assumed that Lance was asking her because he wanted to see her.
âLance, I am at the Jones family mansion. to see my mom and the others.â Gabrielle wasnât really fond of lying, but she needed to be alone for a while to calm herself down.
She simply wanted some peace of mind.
âWell, since you are with them, itâs okay Are you going to join the Jones family for dinner tonight? Or do you have some time to spare? I am actually hoping to have dinner with you. Lance was asking Gabrielle out for dinner because he wanted to see her.
âNo, thanks, Lance. Iâm going to have dinner with Westley tonight,â Gabrielle answered in a low voice.
The truth is, she didnât want to have dinner with Westley either. She just wanted to spend time with herself. She was dealing with too much already that she badly wanted solitude.
Upon hearing Gabrielleâs response, Lance immediately knew that she was rejecting him. He had nothing else to say then.
When Gabrielle got married to Westley, her demeanor had changed completely. It was not in her nature to be self centered, but after the marriage she always prioritized Westley above everything Gabrielle just wanted to be a good wife. He had na right to meddle with that.
âWell, you can go home and have dinner with Westley. But promise me that you wonât go to Thailand alone, Gabrielle,â Lance reminded her again.
âLance, I know. If there is nothing else, I will hang up now. Donât worry, I wonât go to Thailand impulsively.â Gabrielle answered.
She then hung up the phone.
She sat down again on the flowerbed. Her mind was in a total mess. She wanted to clear things up before she came home. But everything became messier as time passed by. She felt all the information was intertwined and tangled in her brain, like a messy thread ball.
It was getting late and the children had already been taken home by their parents. There was only Gabrielle sitting alone in the amusement park now. The light from the street lamps shone on her, reflecting her shadow on the ground.
When Westley arrived at the amusement park, it was completely dark except for the light that was coming from the street lamp.
Gabrielleâs head was bowed on her bent legs. She was curling up like an abandoned little creature. She looked Teally lonely and helpless. Westley wasnât sure whether she was asleep or not.
After leaving No. 1 Champs Elysees Hotel at noon, she went directly to the Jones family mansion instead of returning to Half Moon Bay, Westley was actually a little angry when he leamed about it.
It was definitely not a good idea that the Jones family asked Gabrielle to come over at such a time. The Jones family should have known the news that something had happened to Bryce in Thailand.
After all, the Jones family, the Collins family and Lance had already sent out men to look for Bryce and Nellie. But they still hadnât found any information about them. So everyone was really worried.
It was obvious that Gabrielleâs visit to the Jones family mansion hadnât been a good one.
She must have suffered a lot while she was with the Jones family and didnât know what to do, so she just hid in this place alone Westley was really angry and wanted to scold her. Why was she always carrying all the burdens by herself?
But as he stared at Gabrielle now, looking completely helpless and miserable, his heart softened in an instant. How could he even say a word to scold her? 1 Westley took off his windbreaker and gently covered her back with it. It made Gabrielle realize that she wasnât alone anymore in the park. So she looked up and was stunned to see Westley âWestley. why are you here?â Gabrielle asked, completely surprised.
Her location was a little far from the Jones family mansion and not actually on the roadside. If he didnât come to look for her on purpose, he wouldnât be able to find the place easily. âWhy didnât you come home and just sit here alone? Are you going to spend the night here?â Westley didnât answer her but instead asked in a condescending tone Gabrielle was stunned.
âL. I donât want to stay here all night. I just stayed here to calm myself down and think about things.â Gabrielle answered while looking at Westley with a pained expression, âIf you really donât want to stay here overnight, then why didnât you come home when itâs already dark? If I hadnât looked for you, would you even not go back?â Westley looked very cold, but Gabrielle could still sense his concem.
She didnât actually know how long she had been here. It was already dark; no wonder Westley was so angry when he came to look for her. âNo, I just fell asleep by accident. Iâm sorry that you even had to look for me.â Gabrielle said, looking at him apologetically.
She hadnât really slept at all. She just didnât want Westley to be angrier so she gave an excuse.
Since this man came to look for her, it only meant that he was really worried about her.
âLetâs go back now, Westley. Iâll make dinner for you,â Gabrielle said, trying to please him. When Gabrielle was about to get up, she couldnât feel her numb legs because of sitting in the same posture for too long. She fell forward. Fortunately, Westley was quick to hold her and pull her into his arms. Otherwise, she would have fallen face down to the ground. That would be too embarrassing.
âThank you!â Gabrielle exclaimed and looked at Westley gratefully. If he hadnât caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.
So she was sincerely thanking him. 1 âBe careful, silly girl. Itâs a shame that you can even fall by merely standing up,â Westley couldnât help teasing her. âiâm not that stupid. I just sat for too long and my feet are a little numb,â Gabrielle explained in a hushed voice. Although it was true, she was still a little embarrassed âCan you walk?â Westley was still teasing her, but he was really womed.
âYes, I canl... Ah...â
However, Westley didnât really give her a chance to walk. In an instant, he had picked her up and walked towards the car in the parking lot.
Westley, I can walk. Put me down! Itâs So embarrassing!â Gabrielle felt that many people were looking at them. It was already dark, but there would always be people in this community park.
âI donât want to waste too much time. If you feel embarrassed, just bury your head on my chest.â Westley continued walking while carrying her in his arms, paying to attention to other peopleâs gaze.
Since he was a child, Westley had always been the center of everyoneâs attention, So it was cominon for him to be on the receiving end of peopleâs stares, Gabrielle couldnât do anything else but obediently bury her head on his chest and put her hands around his neck. She was hoping to get in the car as soon as possible. It would be more embarrassing if an acquaintance saw her like that.
But Westley wasnât walking fast. He was keeping a slow pace. She felt that it was taking him a minute to move a single step.
âWestley, can you walk faster?â Gabrielle asked him to speed up.
âGabrielle. when did I ever allow you to order me around?â Westley said in a cold voice.
She couldnât see him, but Gabrielle already knew how cold and dark Westleyâs face was at the moment. Sheâd better shut up before he could even think of dropping her ruthlessly to the ground.
