Lock You In My Heart Chapter 379

Once Gabrielle had heard his voice, she already knew who it was.

She looked up and saw Jax running towards her.

“Jax,” she greeted.

The other day, she took Lolita to Alorith University and they ran into Jax. Lolita couldn’t help but praise him for how handsome he was and how gentle he behaved.

To sum it up, Lolita was very impressed of Jax.

This time, Gabrielle couldn’t help but take a closer look at Jax.

To be perfectly honest, he was very handsome. He was the most good-looking man in his department, perhaps even in the entire university. There was no doubt that he was very attractive.

Aside from that, Jax was a gentleman, and Gabrielle never denied that fact. He was nice to her, and all the other girls.

However, she wasn’t romantically interested in him, so she never paid him much mind. Thus, she never noticed that he was an excellent man.

Jax soon came to Gabrielle’s side, staring at her with a smile on his face. “Gabrielle, do you have any classes today?”

Truthfully, he knew about her schedule, because he had already inquired about it.

That was how he found out.

So if Jax were to come here whenever Gabrielle had classes, the chances of meeting her were very likely.

Just like now, when he arrived at the gate of Alorith University and expected to run into her, he really did see her.

“I do have a class at ten o’clock,” Gabrielle replied.

“I thought the friend you brought last time would be with you again today. After all, she didn’t have the time to finish the tour last time.” Jax came up with a suitable topic to talk about.

Gabrielle knew that he was talking chuckled. “Lolita isn’t free today. Once she’s available and wants to visit our school, I’ll take her here again.”

Having heard next time she comes for a visit, I can keep you company,” he said.

Gabrielle really didn’t want to agree to that request.

“I’m sorry, Jax, but my class is about to begin. Let’s talk about this later.” Gabrielle glanced at her watch and found that it was almost time for her class. She figured it would be a perfect excuse to leave.

“Sure. I’ll walk with you,” Jax replied in a firm tone. It was refuse.

Gabrielle didn’t refuse his offer. Since they were in school right now, she had no reason to stop Jax.

“Okay, then. Shall we?” she replied.

“Let’s go!” Jax’s mood became lighter because of her response.

Gabrielle was walking ahead of him, and he was following her closely. They were almost walking side by side.

“Gabrielle, may I ask you a question?” Jax asked abruptly as they walked on.

“What have a boyfriend yet, and you’ve never accepted anyone who professed his love to you. So, what kind of man do you like?” Jax asked bluntly.

This was a question he had been wanting to ask her for a long time.

However, he never had a good chance to ask her about it. Now that he finally had the chance, he took the opportunity to do it.

His plai n question caught Gabrielle off-guard, causing her to look at Jax in confusion. “What are you trying to say, Jax?”

“I just wanted to ask you what kind of man you like, Gabrielle. Perhaps... me?” Jax asked boldly. ‘In for a penny, in for a pound,’

he thought to himself.

It was then that she realized what he was trying to say.

‘Would I like someone like him?’ she asked in her mind.

‘Is he trying to confess to me?’

As a matter of fact, Gabrielle already sensed that Jax had feelings for her, but he never expressed it directly, so she wasn’t sure if he actually liked her or she was just overthinking it.

Now that he had asked her so bluntly, she figured even a fool could tell what he was thinking.

It turned out that Jax really liked her and wanted to be with her.

Gabrielle was caught off-guard by his sudden confession.

She had no idea how to respond.

After a while, she finally looked him in the eye, and said, “Jax, to be honest, you’re a good man. You’re not only handsome, but you’re very smart, and you’re quite nice to people. In fact, you’re so great that I’ve always held you in high regard.”

Upon hearing her shower him with compliments, Jax immediately understood where she was heading with this.

Gabrielle was refusing him.

“Is that all I am to you, Gabrielle?” Jax asked reluctantly as he tried to maintain eye contact with her.

“Jax, I...”

“Gabrielle, what are you still doing here? Our class is about to begin! We can’t be late for our major class!” Macy was running to class, and from that distance, she noticed Gabrielle.

“Oh, Jax! You’re here, too? What are you two talking about? Did I interrupt anything?” she asked, visibly surprised to see Jax.

“It’s fine. I just walked with Gabrielle for a bit. Now that you’re here, you two should head on to your class. It’s best not to be late!”

Jax smiled resignedly. On the surface, he looked calm, but if one were to look carefully, he appeared to be devastated.

Macy was not very sensitive to such things, so she didn’t notice the subtle change on Jax’s emotional state. She just grabbed onto Gabrielle’s hand and was about to leave.

“Jax, we’re going to class now. We’re good students, after all, so we can’t be late! Bye, Jax!” She then ran to the classroom while holding onto Gabrielle’s hand. Meanwhile, Gabrielle casually waved Jax goodbye.

“Gabrielle, were you talking about something important with Jax? I’m worried that I disturbed the two of you,” Macy asked, sounding unnerved.

“What are you talking about? It’s all good.” Gabrielle shook her head.

Truthfully, she was thankful that Macy showed up just in time, for the latter rescued her from an awkward situation. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to say to refuse Jax’s confession. It worried her that whatever she said would hurt his feelings.

After all, he was confessing his love boldly. If she were to directly refuse him, it would certainly pain him.

“I think something’s wrong between you and Jax. Even I know that he really likes you. Was he confessing his love to you?” Macy hit the nail on the head.
