Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 534

Originally, Gabrielle didn’t have much confidence in her cooking skill, especially when she was cooking for someone else for the first time. Nevertheless, after hearing the encouraging words of Rose, Gabrielle’s confidence greatly increased.

“Rose, you are not just praising me because you feel bad, right? You must eat more if it really suits your taste.” Gabrielle clapped her hands and looked at Rose happily, encouraging her to eat more.

Rose’s praise lifted her spirit and dispelled her worries.

“I didn’t think you would be so good at cooking. After all, you are just a pampered daughter of a rich family. Also, you have a husband who loves and spoils you like a princess now. So, I thought he wouldn’t let you do any work at home.” Rose shrugged innocently after explaining her thoughts.

Not to mention that Westley’s love for Gabrielle was written all over his face and he didn’t even try to put any disguise. Not only Rose but also anyone could tell how much he loved his wife.

Hearing this, Gabrielle chuckled and didn’t deny. “It’s true that Westley doesn’t want me to do any housework, but cooking and making desserts are my hobbies, so he lets me do it.” When she talked about Westley, there were tenderness and happiness blooming in her eyes.

“Gabrielle, I’m overjoyed to see you so happy like this,” Rose said softly, her words coming out from the bottom of her heart. There was unrestrained joy on her face as she watched the relaxed and happy expression on her face. After all, she really treated Gabrielle as her sister.

However, the joy on her face was mixed with a hint of sadness. Of course, Rose also wanted to have such a kind of happiness as a woman. Being loved and doted on by a man whom you loved and who loved you was the dream of every woman.

However, Rose couldn’t help thinking that she would never be able to get such chance and happiness in her life, and it was impossible for anyone to love her as deeply as Westley did to Gabrielle.

It seemed that she had lost such kind of happiness since she entered the forest.

Noticing the envy and disappointment in Rose’s eyes, Gabrielle tried to comfort her. “Rose, trust me. You will be very happy in the future as well. When it’s time, there will be a man by your side, who loves you and treats you like you are a treasure.”

Hearing her comforting words, the corners of Rose’s mouth titled upward slightly. She responded, “Gabrielle, it’s fortunate that I am alive right now. For me to attain such kind of happiness, it’s nothing more than the extravagant hope.”

“Let’s eat first. We’d better drop this kind of subject before the food gets cold.” With a frown on his face, Doctor Maniac couldn’t help interrupting them.

The atmosphere was so depressing that he had the urge to throw his chopsticks away. In fact, there were so many interesting subjects they could talk about, but they just had to choose this kind of sensitive subject to converse with each other and made themselves emotional instead. He continued, “Rose, we have already left the forest now. Your life is no longer under the control of others and you are free to search your life once again. But if you still want to go back to the forest and work for Bain, I won’t stop you.” Doctor Maniac’s tone was very calm, but Rose could tell that he was unhappy as this matter was related to life and death situation. Rose thought that he was being ridiculous as he should be calm in the face of death as a doctor. “

What do you mean by that?” Rose asked as he stared at Doctor Maniac unhappily. “An argument is going to break out if this goes on. Both of you are injured. It’s not good for your wounds if you lose your temper. Just eat, okay?” Gabrielle dispelled the tension in the air between the two people in a hurry.

She was really afraid that the two of them would start quarrelling. One was still sitting on the wheelchair while the other was just out of the coma with gauze wrapped around the head.

If these two people fought, she was really afraid that none of them would make out unscathed. Both of them would get injured more and that would be the terrible ending. “Fine. For the sake of Gabrielle, I won’t argue with you, or I would be held responsible if you pass out because of rage.” Rose gave a side glare at Doctor Maniac and didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Just like that, the three of them ended their lunch in a peacefully despite the tense atmosphere between the two particular people. After Rose went into her room to take a rest, Gabrielle planned to go back to the v illa to wait for Westley. He told her that he would come back tonight, so she believed that he would keep his words. However, there was a bad premonition in her heart as she felt a little uneasy somehow. “Gabrielle, what’s wrong? You look restless.” Doctor Maniac asked as he observed her expression.

“Oh, everything’s fine. You should have a rest now. I’ll go back first.” Although Gabrielle knew that Doctor Maniac was concerned about her, she didn’t want to burden him with her troubles, lest he would be worried. She didn’t want to affect his health in any way.

“Well, then. You can go back first.”

“Doctor Maniac, we both know that Rose has a short temper. You should give in and tolerate her instead of quarreling against her. But if you think you can’t live with her under the same roof, you guys can live separately. There are other empty houses for you if there’s a need for that.” Gabrielle reminded seriously. She was a little worried since she noticed that the two were in bad terms at noon.

Doctor Maniac shook his head and declined. “There’s no need for that. I’ve already been used to the bad temper of this woman. It doesn’t even matter anymore. There’s nothing to worry about.” There was no need for him to move out and live separately with Rose in fear of her harsh words towards him. He

was used to living with a sharp-tongued woman like Rose. What was more, it was already more than enough for the two of them to live in such a big villa. They had to be considerate.

“Okay, if you say so. I’ll go back first.” After saying her goodbye, Gabrielle left directly.

When she went out, she saw a tall man, who had a cold and detached expression on his face, standing in front of the villa. Gabrielle felt a little strange as she felt that this man seemed familiar.

However, she would have remembered if it was someone she knew. She shook that thought and guessed that he might just be a new bodyguard of the Campbell Family.

“Mrs. Morris, nice to meet you. I’m Slater Burke, the captain of Mr. Morris’s bodyguards. From now on, I’ll be guarding for your safety in a closer proximity.” The man walked straight to Gabrielle and briefly introduced himself.

‘So, he’s the captain of Westley’s bodyguards,’ she thought.

No wonder he looked a bit familiar. She must have seen him in Antawood once or twice before. But unlike Alvin whom she could see occasionally as he protected her, Slater seemed to protect her in the shadows.

Therefore, he kept a low profile. It was reasonable that Gabrielle didn’t have a deep impression of him. However, being the captain of the bodyguards meant that he was in a very important position. Generally speaking, he should be in Antawood or at Westley’s side right now. Why did he show up in front of her, saying he would protect her? “Slater, may I ask why you are here?” Gabrielle spoke out her thoughts. “I just came to Bangkok today from Antawood. I am assigned to protect you well, Mrs. Morris.” Just like his introduction, Slater’s explanation was curt and direct to the point. “Westley ordered you to protect me?”

Gabrielle asked in surprise. “Yes, Mr. Morris asked me to come here. Mrs. Morris, will you be heading back to the villa now?” Slater asked expressionlessly. “Yes. I understand. Let’s go back.” Then, Gabrielle got into the car. This time, it was Slater who drove while two other bodyguards were sitting in the backseat. Naturally, Gabrielle could sense the sudden strictness in her security. She had a vague feeling that something serious must have happened. Unable to endure it any longer, Gabrielle asked directly, “Slater, since you said that Westley ordered you to come here, you should know where he is now, right?”

She had asked Jenna and other bodyguards, but they all said they didn’t know where Westley was. Now that Slater was here, he would most likely know the answer. Thinking this way, Gabrielle tried to sound Slater out. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Morris. Since I just arrived in Bangkok, I don’t know where Mr. Morris is for the time being. I am afraid I can’t tell you his exact whereabouts,” Slater responded calmly, devoid of any nervousness, so Gabrielle couldn’t detect if he was saying the truth or not.

Hearing this, she just lowered her head and didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she turned to look out of the window. Staring up into the sky, there were many thoughts in her head. The sky looked as if it was going to rain again. Gabrielle always felt depressed when it rained as she didn’t like the dull atmosphere of it.
