Lock You In My Heart

Westley drove them directly to the Hotel Crystal Palace. It was the only one in Antawood which had an underground restaurant.

Other restaurants preferred to build a large aquarium in their hotel. In it they would raise all kinds of marine creatures. Visitors could enjoy watching the creatures and have delicious food at the same time.

But Hotel Crystal Palace was different. They had built the main part of the hotel under the sea.

The whole sea had become their aquarium. It provided a serene ambience to the visitors to watch the marine creatures in their own habitat. How splendid the scene was!

There was an underwater corridor of nearly a hundred meters, which led from the main part of hotel to the restaurant. Walking through the glass corridor, they could see a variety of fish swimming over their heads.

The scene was so spectacular that words failed to describe it. The splendid view astonished Gabrielle.

“Westley! This is so beautiful. Just incredible!”

Gabrielle exclaimed when she saw the fish swimming above their heads. Suddenly she was startled, when she saw a shark lurking above her head.

“Eh? Are you scared?” Westley asked gently. He was holding her hand firmly.

“No! I think it’s too spectacular.” Gabrielle wasn’t scared at all. She found it indescribably beautiful and stood wide-eyed.

Gabrielle had been to various aquariums earlier. But for the first time she saw marine creatures at such a close distance.

The underground marine restaurant of the Hotel Crystal Palace was an amazing place. As she stood watching it all, she was mesmerized. Being a part of the wonderful scene, she couldn’t help marveling at it.

A few years ago, when the hotel was completed and opened, people needed to book their tables three months in advance. Besides, it was not affordable for ordinary people.

For a common person like Gabrielle, there was no chance to make a reservation.

If it weren’t for Westley, she would never have been able to get into the hotel and marvel at the wonders she saw.

“Do you like it?” noticing the smile on her face, Westley asked. He knew how much she liked this place, but wanted to hear it from her mouth.

“Yes! I like it a lot!” Gabrielle beamed with excitement as she replied to him.
