Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 350

At 11:30 am, Gabrielle received the address of the restaurant that Wendy placed a reservation in. She immediately went there after work.

It was a Thai restaurant, around ten minutes away from the studio. Gabrielle had once dined at this restaurant, so she knew where to go and arrived soon. The moment she entered the private room, she found Wendy already waiting for her.

"Gabrielle, you're here!" Wendy waved at her happily.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Mom. I was delayed by a bit of work." Gabrielle took off her coat and took a seat in front of Wendy.

The only thing she had appreciated from the Jones family these past few years was the fact that they taught her good manners. No matter what could happen, she was always patient and composed in front of others.

This was what Miley liked about her. Gabrielle had really good manners.

"It's fine. I had nothing better to do anyway. Unlike you, I don't have a job. I can wait for you no matter how long it takes. Anyway, I've brought you the jewelry. If you want, you can take a look at it." Wendy handed the jewelry box to Gabrielle.

"Thanks, Mom. There's no need to check it. I haven't had the time to get it from the jewelry store. Thanks for bringing it back for me." Gabrielle received the box and immediately put it into her bag with no intention of opening it.

Aside from the fact that this was what Wendy gave her as a dowry, she was with her when they picked it out, so there was no need to check it.

"Anyway, let's ask them to serve the dishes." Wendy rang the bell and ordered the waiter to serve their food.

Soon, the dishes were served. They were specialty dishes of the restaurant. In all honesty, Wendy had no idea what kind of food Gabrielle preferred to eat. While she was ordering, she realized that she didn't even know her daughter that well. To play it safe, she just avoided seafood and ordered all the specialty dishes on the menu.

"Gabrielle, you've lost a lot of weight lately. Are you under too much pressure at school and work? You should eat more. I ordered all the restaurant's specialty dishes. Aside from seafood, I have no idea what you like to eat. It's my fault for being a negligent mother." Wendy felt a bit guilty when those words came out of her mouth.

Gabrielle didn't mind it. She just smiled at Wendy. "Mom, there's no need to feel that way. I've never gotten mad at you for what you did in the past. Besides, I'm not a picky eater. Anything is good for me!"

"Oh, don't say that, Gabrielle. It really is my fault. I'm really sorry for being a terrible mother." Wendy chuckled awkwardly.

Gabrielle would rather not have her mother be sad around her, because it wasn't good to eat in a forlorn atmosphere.

They already knew the truth. Neither of them had to say it out loud, lest they want to feel ashamed of what happened.

"Let's eat, Mom. If we tarry any longer, the food will get cold," Gabrielle said calmly.

Although Wendy still had some stuff to say, Gabrielle didn't want to talk anymore, so she figured it was time to stop talking.

"Okay, let's eat." Having said that, she began to put food on her daughter's bowl.

"Mom, you don't have to pick up food for me. You're the one who should eat more. I can tell that you've lost a lot of weight. And by the way, you don't need to worry about my brother so much. Westley has promised that he'll help us find him, and he definitely will. All we need to do now is to wait patiently." Gabrielle tried her best to appease Wendy's worries.

After all, now that Westley had promised to look for Bryce, he certainly would live up to that promise. But regarding the certainty of finding her brother, Gabrielle wasn't too sure about it. That wasn't up to her.
