Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 459

To make Gabrielle feel at ease, Lance showed her around the village and went outside, keeping in mind not to leave the safety zone.

"Lance, let's go back." They had been strolling for a while, and Gabrielle didn't want to keep going on.

After all, the people of the forest weren't kind. They had been living on the brink of life and death, battling every day, after all.

They weren't the ones to mess with.

"Let's go to the red house to find Bain." Lance looked at his watch: It was almost twelve.

Bain was a punctual man. He hated when people weren't on time.

Therefore, Lance decided to meet him earlier.

"Okay." Gabrielle nodded and followed him.

She wanted to end everything here as soon as possible and go home with Bryce.

The trip would end by then.

When the two arrived at the red house, Rose was already waiting for them downstairs. She looked at them and smiled.

"Bain said you would arrive early and asked me to wait for you here. He was right; come in with me." Rose smiled and led them inside.

They wouldn't have dinner in the red house now. The two followed Rose through the living room and went to the backyard.

Bain sat on a deck chair; several bodyguards in black stood beside him. There was a barbecue grill not far away from them. A rabbit and chicken were roasted in the fire.

The delicious fragrance of meat wafted in the air. Gabrielle's mouth began to water.

She knew that everyone in the forest cooked game well.

"Bain, we are here." Lance walked to Bain with Gabrielle.

"Lance, Miss Jones, please have a seat. I thought you would arrive at twelve, so I had the meat roasted in advance. But you are early. The food isn't ready yet. Are you afraid of this, Miss Jones?" Although Bain looked apologetic, he still looked calm with a glint of coldness in his eyes.

He looked like a merciless man.

'The ones who say that Westley is a ruthless man should meet Bain.

Gosh, I have never met anyone like him before!' thought Gabrielle.

Bain had no choice but to be brutal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lead all the criminals.

Gabrielle was a little scared of him but didn't dare to exhibit it. She tried her best to suppress the fear and uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile at him.

"Bain, it's okay. I'm not afraid," Gabrielle said, trying to sound confident.

"I'm glad to hear that, Miss Jones. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to sleep after witnessing such a horrific scene. Let's have a barbecue later. You look too frail, Miss Jones. You should eat more when the food is ready," Bain said intently.

"Thank you, Bain. I will," Gabrielle answered.

Now that she was already here, she had to follow the rules to survive in the place.

After all, this was someone else's territory; she had to be careful.

"Rose, bring the drink for Miss Jones," Bain called to her.

"Okay."

Rose strode into the house and soon came out with a large bottle of red drink.
