Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 90 Tending The Garden

The villa had been overgrown with words and everything will in a state of disamay. Sophie and Gabrielle tried a much possible to put the place back in shape and also beautify it. Sophie never expected Gabrielle to be a strong girl, but she had proved her wrong and impressed her in the last three days by enduring all the hardships that came with beautifying the new home all over. She didn’t complain even when her hands got blisters or when her arms were cut by the blades of the overgrown weeds. She just bandaged the injuries, put on her gloves, and continued working cheerfully.

Actually, it was her resilience that made Sophie worried about her. “How could she pretend all was well with her and keep working with so much vigor?’ she thought to herself

“I couldn’t have done this without you, Sophie. The praise has to be attributed to the both of us, you know,” Gabrielle said as she smiled at her with sincerity.

Just then, their lively chitchat was interrupted by a car driving closer towards them. The car was painted silver and Gabrielle knew that she had seen the car somewhere before. She stood up immediately

she recognized who the owner of the car was,

“How nice it is to see you here, Dr. Remy. What brings you here?” she greeted him warmly as soon as he got off the car.

At first, when he got out of the car, he thought he was at the wrong place. The house in front of him was tidy and well arranged unlike how it was some days before. He didn‘t even recognize them in the gardener’s suits they wore and sun hats covering their heads. He would have left immediately thinking that he was in the wrong place if Gabrielle had not called out his name.

“Gabrielle? Sophie? What are you both doing here?” he asked them in surprise. He was totally confused

“God!” he exclaimed. “Was it you two who cleaned up the compound?” he asked as he looked at the both of them in surprise. He didn’t need an answer from them to know that they were the ones who arranged the whole place. The dress they had on had already given them out

“Of course. Do you think we did well? Just the both of us did the job, Sophie and me.” Gabrielle raised her head and told him proudly

“Well done. You have done well. I didn’t

expect that you would know a whole lot about gardening I now have better impression of this rich young lady.” He said this sincerely. He was neither flattering her, nor being sarcastic.

“Stop flattering me, Dr. Remy. I have never been a rich lady. I have always been interested in tending a garden, growing flowers and plants since I was very young. It would be such a waste of good soil to let this place be overgrown with so many unwanted plants. Besides, I don’t have anything else to do. Let me just finish clearing out the weeds and then plant some flowers and fine plants. The garden will look so beautiful.” She didn’t hesitate to say what she had in mind. She beamed with smiles as soon as she said it.
