Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle saw six black military jeeps parked outside the yard. It was incredibly safe because the glass was bulletproof.

She didn’t want to think about how dangerous their trip would be at first. But now, she was anxious about it.

“Lance, are we really going to be okay?” Gabrielle asked in a concerned tone.

If she were to die here, her biggest regret would be not being able to say goodbye to Westley.

She shouldn’t have acted so rashly.

“Trust me, we’re going to be okay. If you’re having second thoughts, I can send you back right away. You’re safer with Westley than with me.” Lance could see that she was feeling troubled.

If only he knew he would be targeted as soon as he arrived in the country, he wouldn’t have taken Gabrielle to Thailand.

If anything happened to her, he wouldn’t be able to live with it for the rest of his life.

”No, Lance. I’ve come all this way. There’s no turning back now. Not until I see Bryce. If I die…”

“Nonsense!’ Gabrielle, you’re not going to die. Get inside!” Lance yanked the door open.

It was ominous to say something like that.

They were just starting and Lance was at a loss for words by what Gabrielle said.

Gabrielle sat down in the back as Lance got in beside her.

“Lance, forgive me for saying this, but I’m serious. If something really happens to me, please tell Westley that I’m sorry.” She gave him a stern look.

Guilt washed over her as she hadn’t told Westley about any of this. She had to leave an important message.

“You should tell him yourself. I don’t want to see him at all,” Lance uttered coldly and asked the driver to go.

Seeing that both the driver and bodyguard in the passenger seat were soldiers, she felt relieved.

”You guys really don’t get along. I’ll tell him myself then,” Gabrielle said.

Because of the bad blood between them, she decided it would be best if they didn’t meet.

“We’ve still got a long way to go. Get some sleep. I’ll wake you up when we get there,” Lance suggested.

She wouldn’t be able to overthink it if she slept.

If she slept, she wouldn’t ask too many questions. It would also give Lance some time to think calmly.

”It’s fine, I’m not that tired. I was just worried, that’s all. Besides, I can’t sleep now. What about you? Aren’t you nervous? I guess I was making you anxious with all my questions.” Gabrielle was just too anxious to fall asleep.

Lance looked at her, speechless. Sometimes he thought she was too observant, making it hard for him to coax her.
