Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122 Caught Red–handed

The trio, Lawrence, Gabrielle, and Macy, were still in the Fragrance Restaurant. They hadn’t placed an order for food yet as Macy and Lawrence first exchanged pleasantries. After hearing what Lawrence had said, Gabrielle opened the menu unceremoniously.

“We‘re ready to make an order. Please serve us specialty dishes except for seafood. Make sure it’s enough for the three of us. Thank you,” she indicated to the waiter with a smile.

“What were the specialty dishes?” Lawrence thought to himself. But he knew that all of them were expensive and delicious. “This girl is good at eating,’ he mused as he smiled to himself.

“Gabrielle, why don’t you like seafood?” he asked with curiosity.

“I’m allergic to it,” she replied without beating around the bush.

She had always been direct when it came to life-saving matters, especially as it concerned her directly. If she ate too much seafood, it would kill her immediately. She didn‘t dare to take the risk

“Now I know. I’ll keep this in mind. From this

moment on, we won’t eat seafood when we go out for lunch,” he said as he looked at her seriously as if he was asking for a reward. 2

“We won’t have any lunch date after this, Lawrence. This is the first and also the last time. So you don’t have to remember that I’m allergic to seafood,” she said to him coldly as she rolled her eyes.

He didn’t care whether she would have a meal with him again later in the future. All he cared about was having a meal with her and for this reason, he would always remember it.

“So tell me, Gabby. What else are you allergic to? I can memorize all now for future purposes,” he asked her seriously. i

She didn’t want to answer such a question.

“Vice Mr. Hughes, are you…” Macy paused for some seconds before she continued, “are you interested in making Gabrielle your woman?” She had observed them for a long time and finally found some clues. She noticed the way he wanted to know all about her.

“Oh my God! Vice Mr. Hughes wants Gabrielle to be his. Just look at him. No matter what she says to him, he doesn’t mind, but accepts them all cheerfully. He is not angry, but happy, as if he was shot by Cupid, ‘Macy thought as she smiled to herself.

She could tell that he was in love with Gabrielle. His eyes were all over her.

“If Vice Mr. Hughes is with Gabrielle, then am I related to him too?” she thought to herself.

It was quite interesting to think about it. She might be attending a wedding soon.

“Macy, don’t think too much,” Gabrielle said facing her. “There is nothing of that sort going on.” Gabrielle perished Macy’s thought immediately.

“What was she insinuating by saying that Lawrence was interested in making me his woman? How can I be his woman?’ she thought to herself. There was nothing like that and it would never be possible.

Lawrence faced Macy and said, “You’re right, Macy. I want to make Gabby mine, but she has been turning me down. If I need your help, will you be willing to assist me?” He pressed his palms together to show how serious he was.

For some seconds, Macy was taken aback, and then she understood. She realized that he was going to ask her more about his object of interest, but as it were, she was also a little clueless. Although they had been classmates in college for more than three years now, she didn’t know much about Gabrielle, and right

now. They were already in their fourth year

She was able to know a little about Gabrielle than their other classmates because she was closer to her than the others and talked a bit more. But even at that, she didn’t know anything about Gabrielle’s family background.

Some people said that she belonged to a very powerful family, others said she was adopted as a child bride by a very rich family.

All these were rumors. How could one tell which was true?

And with a topic as sensitive as this since it was related to her life experience, it was better not to ask. If she was her friend, it would come naturally to Gabrielle to let her know. If she never treated her as a friend, she would be asking for too much if she asked her about it.

“Mr. Hughes, if you keep acting this way, I won‘t have lunch with you anymore. You two can have lunch together since you’re enjoying each other’s company.” Gabrielle gesticulated with her hands. She took a brief look at him calmly, her emotions were cold and direct.

interacting?” he asked mischievously.

“Lawrence!” she yelled. She used to call him Mr. Hughes politely, but now she called him by his first name, which meant that she was really angry.
