Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 432

Lance had been helping Gabrielle with matters regarding Bryce, but she hadn't paid him much attention. She had gotten her hands tied up with her own issues, so she didn't have time to think about anything else.

That was why she had no idea how to answer Cherie.

"I'm sorry, Cherie. I haven't seen Lance recently. We're not as close as you think, so I have no idea what he's up to," Gabrielle answered truthfully.

There was no point in lying.

Cherie thought she was being honest. Lance seemed out of Gabrielle's radar these days.

Maybe she was overthinking it. Like what she heard, maybe Gabrielle and Lance weren't really close.

"I see." Although Cherie felt disappointed, there was nothing she could do.

She had been mean to Gabrielle before. Forcing her would only make Cherie look bad.

"Cherie, if you like Lance, just go for it. Maybe one day, he'll notice you, but nothing will happen if you just keep admiring him secretly," Gabrielle said, taking her gift bag.

Cherie watched Gabrielle leave until she disappeared through the exit. She was gone, but her words lingered in Cherie's mind.

If she wouldn't confess, then she would never have the chance of being Mrs. Carter.

Surprisingly, Gabrielle was more level-headed. The next step was now clear to her.

All this time, Cherie had been jealous of Gabrielle. Unlike her, Gabrielle was brave. Cherie never had the courage to do what Gabrielle did.

Long before, Gabrielle told Bryce how she felt about him. She bore the consequences of being hated and disgusted by him and everyone else.

Gabrielle was just fighting for her own happiness. No one could ever dare to do the same. Those people who judged her were truly disgusting.

Gabrielle went to the restaurant and looked for her mentor. They sat down, exchanging smiles.

"Ms. Glyn, tomorrow is Christmas. Since you aren't going to spend the day in Antawood, allow me to greet you in advance. Merry Christmas! I've prepared a little something for you. I hope you like it." Gabrielle bowed, offering her gift.

Melissa's eyes lit up in joy as she took the bag. "A scarf! How lovely, Gabrielle. Thank you."

Melissa wasn't expecting Gabrielle would give her a gift. Fortunately, she prepared one for her mentee too.

"Gabrielle, this is a book on jewelry design. It's one of my favorites and I want you to have it." Melissa handed her a set of books.

There were three books in this set, so it was a little heavy, but Gabrielle was all the more excited. "Oh gosh... these are out-of-print now. Is it really okay for me to have these?" "Of course. I have a spare at home, so this one is all yours. Besides, after studying it for years, I've practically memorized the whole book." Melissa laughed. "I hope you find it useful."

"Thank you so much, Ms. Glyn! I will study

even harder!" Gabrielle promised.
