Lock You In My Heart Chapter 530
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle did not expect that Michelle would be so smart to connect the dots. Gabrielle only said a few words.
The members of the Morris family, even the distant relatives, were really exceptionally perceptive.
âSort of. Rose was seriously injured because of me, so Iâm responsible for it. I feel guilty and uneasy in my heart. Of course Iâm happy now that she finally woke up,â Gabrielle explained briefly. She decided to leave out the entire story. After all, it was too long and bloody. It was not suitable for Michelle to hear.
âItâs all right now. As long as Rose stays awake, everything will be fine.â Gabrielle heaved a big sigh of relief.
âLetâs go back to the villa,â Michelle suggested while subtly watching their surroundings.
She was not sure why, but she had been feeling like someone was watching them. It was not like when bodyguards were around to look after them. It was as if someone was spying on them.
It made Michelle feel a little uneasy, so she thought that she and Gabrielle should go home as soon as possible.
âWell, we have been out for a while. We have to get back for lunch.â Gabrielle did not read much into what Michelle said. She just agreed, and they went back to the villa.
When they arrived, Westley was just coming out of the study. He had been working for half a day. He heard that Rose had woken up and that Gabrielle and Michelle went to see her and then went to the seaside. Westley decided that after he got some work done, he would catch up to Gabrielle and Michelle. He was a little startled to see the two ladies back at the villa.
âOh, youâre back. That was quick. Howâs Rose?â Westley walked up to Gabrielle and held her in his arms.
Even though they were back early, Westley was glad to see Gabrielle and Michelle at home where their safety was assured. He did not want anything to happen to them, especially to his wife.
After all, they were not in Antawood. There were too many possibilities here, and they could not foresee most of them.
âSheâs awake, but she still has a long way to go to full recovery. Letâs go see her tonight.â Gabrielle happily took Westleyâs hand.
âThatâs good. Iâm glad sheâs going to be okay. Next time you go out, remember to call me. I want to be ready to get to you as soon as I can. Itâs very dangerous outside,â Westley reminded Gabrielle seriously.
âOkay. Donât worry too much. We brought some bodyguards with us.â Gabrielle did not want Westley to stress himself out over her. âI will always worry without you around,â Westley said overbearingly. He had been trying to restrain his panic after receiving some news from Alvin. The Jones family now knew about what happened to Bryce, and the Collins family were now aware of Nellieâs pregnancy. At this time, they might have sent their men to Thailand already, although Westley was not sure about that yet.
The uncertainty bothered him out of his wits. He was so anxious that he was considering taking Gabrielle back home to Antawood earlier than they had planned. Westley really wanted to have a good time with Gabrielle on their little vacation, and he thought that they would be okay as long as they were home at the end of the month. But with the new pieces of information that Alvin provided, they might have to change their plans. âWhy are you so worried? The Campbell Familyâs men are here to protect us.
Weâre safe. Only a fool would go up against the Campbell Familyâs bodyguard army. Youâre just being overprotective of Gabrielle.
You need to calm down, Westley.â Michelle felt that she really should not have come to see Westley. Her heart ached every time he and Gabrielle showed off their love for each other in front of her. They did not care at all about how a single person like her felt around their blatant displays of affection. When Westley got married, he really changed into another person. â
Gabrielleâs my wife. Of course Iâll be overprotective of her. Whatâs wrong with that?â Westley cast a cold glance at Michelle. The ice in his eyes rendered her speechless. âNothing. Itâs natural for a man to protect his wife. Iâm happy that you love Gabrielle so much.â Michelle smirked after a few moments of silence. âIâm hungry. Whatâs for lunch?â Mich elle flashed Westley a carefree smile and then walked toward the living room. âI called the chef over to prepare our meals. If you want something to eat, go to the kitchen and tell him,â Westley replied and then took Gabrielleâs hand and towed her upstairs.
âYouâre damn right Iâm going to go tell the chef to cook me something. I didnât come here to watch your sickeningly sweet love for each other,â Michelle muttered to herself and then proceeded to the kitchen.
In their bedroom upstairs, Gabrielle looked uneasily at Westley. âWhatâs wrong, Westley? Did something happen?â
âWe might need to return to Antawood sooner than weâd planned.â Westley pulled Gabrielle to the sofa by the window and sat down. They could see an amazing ocean view from where they were sitting.
It was quite breathtaking.
It was like staring at a vast, blue fairyland.
âReally? When?â Gabrielle did not mind cutting their vacation short and going back to Antawood.
Living in Antawood was very comfortable. Being away from home made her feel very unsettled and hindered.
When Westley said that they could be going home sooner than planned, she could not help feeling a little excited.
âIt depends on the circumstances. I was really looking forward to exploring Thailand with you, but now it seems that itâs not a safe choice. Would you be angry with me if I took you home?â Westley asked and took Gabrielleâs hands in his. It was obvious that asking the question was difficult for him.
âNo, I wouldnât. Why would I? We didnât come to Thailand to go exploring in the first place. I just want to know why our plans have changed,â Gabrielle asked curiously.
She was totally fine going back to Antawood. If it were up to her, they would be on their way home right now. But she wanted to know the reason. âThe Jones family know what happened to Bryce, and the Collins family know that Nellie is pregnant. For sure they will send some people to Bangkok to look for Nellie. Perhaps those people have already arrived,â Westley said with a frown.
He had planned to take Nellie back to Antawood after five or six months.
Now, that did not seem possible. He could let Nellie stay in Bangkok for the time being, but he and his wife should leave. That way, they would leave a smaller target for the Jones and Collins families men. As long as Nellie was protected by the Campbells, the Collins familyâs men would not be able to find her so easily.
âSo weâre going home to confuse those the Collins family sent to look for Nellie?â Gabrielle asked. She had not used her cell phone lately, so she guessed that the Jones family must be losing their minds trying to find her. She somewhat felt that it was better not to have a phone. Without a phone, she could not be bothered. âYes. More importantly, Antawood is safer. Itâs full of my people. Nobody can stir trouble in my turf.â Westley had left in a hurry, so he had not brought any bodyguards with him.
He had planned to bring Gabrielle back with the help of the Campbell Familyâs men, but he did not expect that he and his wife would be hurt so badly. âDonât worry too much, Westley. Weâre also safe here. I believe in Wilson and Bonnieâs arrangement. I trust that theyâve made a perfect plan to secure us. Nothing will happen to us. Relax.â Gabrielle squeezed his hand to comfort him. âI know, but I want to use my own ability and force to protect you.â Honestly, Westley did not want to go back to Antawood so early.
The Jones family had been looking for Gabrielle all over the world. Gabrielle had not used her cell phone here, so she had been completely off the grid. The Jones family had not been able to locate her. If Westley returned with her to Antawood, the Jones family would have a way to find her. âWestley.â âWhat?â
âI believe that you have the ability to protect me. We have gone through so much, and weâre still here, arenât we? Donât fret.
Weâre survivors, and someday, weâll be completely safe and happy,â Gabrielle said while looking deeply into her husbandâs eyes.
âI have made a wish in front of the Buddha. He will definitely protect us for the rest of our lives. Do you believe in the Buddha?â âI donât believe in the Buddha, but I believe in you.â
