Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 213 A Strained Relationship

As Gabrielle stood aside with her phone in her hand, she thought of what she could cook for Westley tonight. She called Sophie and asked her to help by preparing the dinner materials. In this way, she wouldn’t have to start preparing from scratch even if she came home late

O “Please help me get the ingredients ready for tonight, Sophie. I’ll be back home to cook the dinner myself. Gabrielle was quite polite in her request.

“Oh, Miss Jones. Did you just return to Antawood oday. Hope you had a good time with Miley in the countryside?” It was ouvinu that Sophie was happy to know that Gabrielle was back.

It was quite boring for her to stay alone in Half Moon Bay these few days. Gabrielle was very gentle and accessible, She always treated people fairly and never looked down upon servants. Which was why Sophie was very fond of Gabrielle and it was no wonder that Miley loved her so much.

“I had a great time, Sophie. Grandma was very nice to me. She also took very good care of me.” As Gabrielle said this, she recalled the days she spent in the countryside.

Although she was not very happy when Holly was around, she still enjoyed the whole experience.

When Sophie heard what she said, She was very happy on Gabrielle’s behalf. “Well, I’m very glad that you’re Happy, Miss Jones. Are you coming back to the Half Moon Bay tonight? Sophie asked.

“Yes, I’m coming back f’m also going to cook dinner tonight myself. Please just help me get the ingredients ready. I’ll be back at about five o’clock.” Gabrielle decided to tell Sophie the time, in case Sophie didn’t know how long she had to get the things ready.

“All right, then. I will prepare the ingredients and wait for you.” Sophie happily accepted the task. To her, it was not a task, but something she was willing to do to help Gabrielle.

When Sophie heard that Gabrielle would come back to Half Moon Bay, she was very happy. She had initially thought that Gabrielle was going to stay at the Vineyard Villa

“Okay. Sophie. I’ll see you later,” Gabrielle said and hung up the phone.

Gabrielle sat on the chair in the lounge and thought about her encounter with Estelle. She thought about the Johnson family and remembered that Westley said he had just hampered one or two projects in the Johnson Group. “Does this mean that Benny manipulated the bthers? I can’t believe this. Is he doing this because he’s feeling guilty about what Estelle did to Sloane?” she wondered.

But doesn’t he think this is too late already? If Sloane ends up not waking up. nothing would still change even if he destroys the Johnson family.’ she thought again.
