Lock You In My Heart

In the evening, they picked a rather obscure restaurant. Few people knew about it, and it was located by the sea. Although it wasn’t mainstream, it boasted of spectacular views. Plus, it was safe.

It didn’t really matter whether the establishment was safe. Either way, there were members of the Campbell Family surrounding the place whose only mission was to keep their eyes on them and protect the couples.

They were secured enough, and it gave them peace of mind.

“The scenery here is really breathtaking.” Gabrielle sat down and rested her chin on her hand. She looked out the window, appreciating the stunning seascape. A soft smile played on her lips.

She would love it if she could take a walk on the beach. She hadn’t strolled like that in quite a while. It would be nice to feel the cool water and soft sand on her feet.

“Do you want to head down to the seaside?” Westley asked her. He could see the emotions on her face—the excitement and longing. He knew what she wanted in that moment.

“Yes, I do. But… Should we?” Gabrielle darted her eyes anxiously from Westley to his brother and sister-in-law. She had no idea if it was allowed. She shifted in her seat uneasily.

They didn’t come out here to have fun. Westley’s brother and sister-in-law weren’t ordinary people. If Gabrielle accidentally got herself in trouble, they would be put in danger.

“Of course, Gabrielle. If you want to walk by the beach, just let Westley accompany you. You don’t have to worry. It’s swarming with people from the Campbell Family. You’re safe even down there.” Bonnie smiled and urged her.

It was obvious to anyone watching that Gabrielle was yearning to take a stroll. No wonder she lit up with excitement and anticipation when Bonnie brought up the idea of having dinner by the sea.

“Let’s go and walk, Westley. We won’t take long, I promise.” Gabrielle quickly pushed back her seat and stood up. She smiled at Bonnie and her husband.

“Okay, come on.” Westley also stood up, took her hand, and led them outside. He was so tall that Gabrielle’s head only reached his shoulder. She squeezed his arm in eagerness.

Halfway through, Gabrielle let go of Westley’s hand and walked quickly. She stared in wonder at the beautiful view before her. She beamed at him.

“Westley, look at the sea!” Gabrielle took off her shoes and walked into the sea. Her feet sank into the sand, and she laughed.

“Gabrielle, you still have wounds on your legs, remember? It’s going to hurt if you soak them into the seawater. It’s like rubbing salt to your injury. Be careful, okay?” Westley raised his voice, so she could hear him above the noise of the waves. He trotted to catch up to her.

He was afraid that her wounds might get infected because of the seawater. She hadn’t fully healed yet. He also noticed how big the waves were, and he feared that she might get washed away. She was a petite girl, after all.
