Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle sat on the balcony, bored out of her mind. She was in front of a beautiful but strange scenery, yet her mind was on something else. She wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the scenery because she still felt uneasy.

She doubted if she made the right choice to come to Thailand on such short notice, and she didn’t even tell Westley about it. Gabrielle could only imagine how angry he was right now. She promised him that they would spend Christmas together and celebrate his birthday party.

Gabrielle sighed. She was in Bangkok instead of home, and she and Westley are in two different countries when they should have been together.

She was about to turn on her phone but realized that it might be better if she didn’t. She was already in Bangkok, and it was way too late to try to explain to Westley. It would only make him angrier. Gabrielle sighed. It was easier to apologize later.

Moreover, her cousin told her that Westley imprisoned Bryce before—something which she found unbelievable at first. But if it was true and it was actually Westley who did it, she didn’t know how to face him, let alone ask him questions.

Would she hate him?

Would she even want to divorce him?

Gabrielle closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows almost aggressively. She wanted to get rid of the dangerous thoughts crossing her mind. She couldn’t face Bryce this way, and she should stop filling her head with nonsense. More importantly, she should withhold putting the blame on Westley, especially since she didn’t have a solid evidence yet.

“Gabrielle, are you enjoying the night view?” Lance went upstairs to ask Gabrielle to have dinner. When he saw the door open, he came in and saw her lounging around.

“Well, the view is breathtaking.” Gabrielle turned around and glanced at Lance, smiling. But it didn’t reach her eyes.

He clearly interrupted something. Gabrielle was lost in her own thoughts.

“Gabrielle, do you have something on your mind or are you not feeling well? You don’t look too good.” Lance gave her an assessing look, taking note of her pale face and the dark shadows under her eyes.

She looked bone-tired, as if she could topple any minute. It was as if she aged in just a few hours. Lance frowned. He was worried about her.

It was her first time coming here. Lance understood if she didn’t like the environmental conditions and felt uncomfortable. It would take a while to adjust.

But looking closely at her, Lance couldn’t help but fret about her. He feared that this place didn’t suit her at all.
