Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 43

Gabrielle didn't sleep well and had a lot of exhausting nightmares. In her nightmares, she was followed by frightening monsters or crushed underneath massive stones, unable to breathe. Throughout the time, she felt uneasy.

Finally, she dreamt that her brother, Bryce, had returned. He apologized to her and pleaded for her forgiveness in the dream, but he still planned to leave with Nellie. He confessed to her that he had feelings for Nellie.

Gabrielle screamed and wailed, but she couldn't catch up to Bryce.

"Bryce, please don't leave me here!"

She kept calling out his name but to no avail.

Gabrielle awoke with a jolt. A powerful shaft of sunshine streamed in through the window. It took her some time to adjust before she opened her eyes and looked about.

She was in her room at the Vineyard Villa, which also served as her and Westley's marital residence.

What had occurred the night before was running through her head like a movie sequence.

She remembered Westley bursting in rage towards the end, and how she pleaded with him in vain. Despite the fact that both of them were in their right minds, Westley made love to her.

How was that possible?

Gabrielle ripped the quilt roughly and with conflicting feelings. It was impossible for her to get a hold of herself.

The two of them had sex twice before as a result of Wendy and Miley's scheme, but Westley did it last night in a rational frame of mind.

What was Westley thinking?

Gabrielle's phone rang while she was deep in thought. When she grabbed it, she saw a phone call from Mia.

It dawned on her that she had made a dinner reservation with Micheal for six o'clock in the evening today, and it was already half past two. Westley viciously tormented her the night before, so she was fatigued and didn't get up till today.

"Miss Robinson," she acknowledged. Gabrielle attempted to regain her composure and answered the phone calmly.

"Hi, Miss Jones! I've reserved a table for you at a restaurant. You may go to the location specified by the address. I sent you a message on WeChat but received no response. I was concerned that you could have missed it, and so I phoned you. Did I disturb you?"

Mia and her brother both liked Gabrielle, so Mia was prepared to arrange for Gabrielle and her brother to date.

"No, you didn't. Thank you very much." Gabrielle was pleased that Mia had saved her the hassle of picking a restaurant.

Mia was, after all, Micheal's sister, and she was well aware of his preferences. She would undoubtedly choose his favorite restaurant.

"Why are you being so formal with me, Miss Jones? After all, I'm to blame. You wouldn't have fallen into the river if I hadn't acted carelessly that night. You may also call me Mia like my brother does. Please don't address me as Miss Robinson, otherwise, I'll feel as if I'm a stranger. " Mia had a flexible personality and had no problems getting along with the others.

"All right."

"Are you feeling ill, Miss Jones? Your voice sounds somewhat different than normal," a concerned Mia said.

"I'm perfectly well. I had just taken a snooze. My throat is a bit scratchy."

"That's excellent! In advance, I wish you and my brother a wonderful dinner." Mia hung up immediately after she uttered that.

She checked the address Mia sent her and saw the restaurant's name was Beautiful Encounter Restaurant.

She thought it was a lovely name, and she liked it.
