Lock You In My Heart Chapter 466

Lance frowned at the sight of the curry shrimps.

Gabrielle was allergic to seafood, so she couldn’t eat any of it. For some people, allergies didn’t cause too much trouble—perhaps just some rashes that could be remedied by antihistamine medication. But for others, it could be fatal. They might exhibit severe symptoms such as difficulty in breathing.

Lance already knew about Gabrielle’s allergy, so when he saw the seafood spread before them, he frowned.

“Gabrielle.” Lance gave a meaningful look to Gabrielle. She instantly knew what he meant with the way he called her name. Gabrielle pursed her lips in turn.

It was a stern reminder not to eat any of it. Otherwise, she might suffer serious consequences. Gabrielle had to admit that it was one of her weaknesses, almost like her Achilles’ heel.

Where they were right now, it was dangerous to expose such weakness to other people—especially to the residents of the village. Worse, Rose was Bain’s subordinate. Lance and Gabrielle didn’t know if Rose was a friend or foe, but they couldn’t take a chance. They wouldn’t let Rose know for fear she might share it with Bain.

If they found out about her allergy, Gabrielle would lose the upper hand. She wouldn’t and couldn’t allow that to happen. They had already gone too far; they couldn’t afford to go back to square one.

That was why she understood what Lance was trying to tell her. She didn’t nod or provide any indication to give it away.

“Lance, please sit down first. These dishes Rose made look so delicious. I can’t wait to dig in,” Gabrielle said calmly, belying the knot of fear lodged inside her. She pulled Lance by his hand towards his chair before sitting down herself.

Gabrielle knew very well that Bain sent Rose to test them. She was there to observe them closely, notice any small fact about them. The more weaknesses Gabrielle exposed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them. Naturally, Gabrielle had to summon all her acting skills to pretend nothing was amiss.
