Lock You In My Heart Chapter 573
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle was worried about the possibility that Mia might urge Micheal to have someone search for her.
But if Micheal had really sent someone to find her, she would have been found by now, given Michealâs capabilities.
It appeared as if Micheal had not responded to Miaâs absurd request since Gabrielle hadnât heard from anyone. After all, Westley and Gabrielle went off the grid together. Micheal must have known that she would be with her husband.
Hastily, Gabrielle sent Mia a message. It was quite early in Bangkok, which meant that it wasnât too late back in Antawood. Mia should be able to read her text.
Her message was uncomplicated. Gabrielle merely informed Mia that she was in Bangkok and that she would be home in time for the holiday.
The moment Mia read her message, she called Gabrielle.
âMia!â Gabrielle answered.
âBah, donât âMiaâ me! We are no longer friends. How could you disappear for so long without telling me? I wouldâve found you ages ago if only my brother wanted to help me out. What are you doing in Bangkok?!â Mia was undeniably enraged.
She deemed Gabrielleâs unannounced disappearance unforgivable. After all, she was gone for a couple of months.
âHow could she be so willful? Considering sheâs Westleyâs wife! How could she just disappear without saying a word to me?
What a great friend!â Miaâs thoughts were filled with sarcasm.
âWestley and I came here for our honeymoon. My phone was broken so I couldnât contact you. Iâm sorry, Mia. Iâll take you out to dinner and get you a present when I go home. Please forgive me,â Gabrielle begged with all sincerity.
When Mia heard that they were out for honeymoon, her anger dissipated.
After all, it was their honeymoon. It was understandable that she wanted to keep it a secret.
âAlright then. But promise me that youâll call me as soon as you get back. And take me out to dinner. I donât think I can forgive you if you donât. Do you understand?â Mia threatened. Her voice was filled with anger.
Gabrielle burst into laughter when she heard what Mia had to say. âI know. Donât worry about it. Iâll let you know as soon as I come back. Please donât be upset anymore, okay?â âYouâre not going to get off the hook that easily. When you come back, I will see if you really are sorry. Then Iâll consider whether to forgive you or not,â Mia replied proudly. Her words confirmed that she wasnât upset anymore. âWell... I will still get you an apology present,â Gabrielle seriously answered.
âOkay. Iâm looking forward to it. Are you enjoying your honeymoon?â Mia couldnât help herself from prodding. She seemed ecstatic. âOf course I am.â Gabrielle was, indeed, happy. A Ithough she had suffered through a lot of things and almost died in her escapade, Gabrielle would never forget what she ent through in this place. Westley was by her side the entire time. Only in distress can one see true love shine. Westley and Gabrielle finally understood each otherâs feelings now that they had gone through a life and death situation. A s long as Westley was next to her, Gabrielle was happy. âHmm...
I can see that. You were so happy with Westley that youâve forgotten about me,â Mia teased. Gabrielleâs happiness reverberated even through the phone line. Mia was beyond happy for her friend. lthough Gabrielle did not end up with her brother, Gabrielleâs happiness brought great joy to Miaâs heart. âI didnât forget about you!â Gabrielle argued. She was overwhelmed with everything that was going on that she couldnât think of contacting anyone.
âIâm kidding! Donât be upset. I didnât mean to frighten you,â Mia assured in a hurry. She sensed the anxiety in Gabrielleâs voice.
It was but a joke. Mia did not want to put unnecessary stress on Gabrielle.
âI know. Iâll see you when I get back.â Undoubtedly, Gabrielle knew Mia enough to know that she was merely joking. If Mia really was upset with her, she wouldnât bother talking to Gabrielle.
âI can wait. Just promise me youâll have fun on your honeymoon, okay? Iâm going to stop bothering you now,â Mia snickered.
âWhat are you talking about?â Gabrielle couldnât find the words to say when she heard Miaâs laughter.
âWhat do you think Iâm thinking about? My only wish is for the two of you to live happily ever after. Anyway, remember to call me the moment you get back. Otherwise, I donât think Iâd be able to forgive you,â Mia reminded.
âNoted. Good bye!â
âBye!â
Gabrielle heaved a sigh of relief the moment their phone call ended. After that, she sent some messages to Macy and Lolita.
Other than Mia, they were her closest friends back home.
One was her classmate. The other was her colleague. She couldnât help but wonder if the two of them would react as harshly as Mia. Coaxing people was not exactly on Gabrielleâs list of expertise. She did not tell a soul about her trip to Bangkok. In the span of two months that Gabrielle had been away from Antawood, a lot had happened . During that period of time, she never contacted anyone. It was understandable for her friends to be upset at her. s expected, Gabrielle received angry responses from Macy and Lolita. They both asked where she had gone and why she left abruptly. Her sudden disappearance was just too much for them. Gabrielle quickly replied, telling them that something urgent came up in Bangkok and that sheâd be home in two days. She promised that she would explain the moment she arrived home. Lolita and Macy werenât as excited as Mia. All they wanted was to catch up with Gabrielle when she got home. Gabrielle didnât look into their simple request too much. She simply agreed to their wishes. fter going through her messages on the phone, she replied to all the urgent messages. Gabrielle spent an hour doing that but still, Westley hadnât returned.
She had no idea what Westley and Remy talked about. Not knowing brought great heaviness to her heart. She was worried that they might not be able to come back to Antawood in two days. If that really was the case, she was determined not to agree.
Gabrielle glanced at the watch on her wrist. She was about to turn her phone off and go downstairs to look for Westley when she was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. It was Lance. Since they parted ways in the forest, all she knew was that Lance and Bryce had gone back to the country. However, they did not keep in touch with each other. Gabrielle had no idea about their whereabouts.
Her phone was broken and she had not opened her WhatsApp for quite some time. When she finally had the chance to log in, a call from Lance welcomed her. Without a second thought, Gabrielle picked up. âHello, Lance.â
