Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 469

After getting dressed, Gabrielle rushed downstairs with the satellite phone. She tiptoed in fear of catching Lance's attention.

Tonight's moon was quite enchanting. It was bright and its cold sheen looked ever so mysterious. When Gabrielle opened the door, a person standing in the yard caught her attention.

Despite seeing only the silhouette of a thin and tall woman, Gabrielle immediately knew that it was Rose when she saw her short, golden hair.

She was taken aback by the sight of Rose. Gabrielle wasn't expecting her to be there in the middle of the night. It was as if she saw a ghost.

"Rose?" Gabrielle called her.

Rose turned to look at her. With a cigarette in her hand, she took a puff and squinted at Gabrielle. There was no hint of embarrassment on her face at all.

"The moon is exceptionally gorgeous tonight, isn't it?" Rose asked as she squinted at Gabrielle through a puff of white smoke.

Gabrielle had no idea what Rose was up to.

'Why is she here in the middle of the night?'

Whatever it was, it couldn't possibly be any good.

"Yeah, it's beautiful." Not knowing what to do, Gabrielle decided to just walk out of the house to face Rose.

"You can't sleep? Is that why you've decided to come out and watch the moon?" Rose's voice was calm.

"Yeah. I thought I wasn't able to sleep because of the bed. But on my second night here, I'm still having some trouble sleeping. Maybe it's because this place feels foreign to me. The moon looked so beautiful tonight, I decided to gaze at it for a bit. I didn't expect to have such an exceptional view of it from here," Gabrielle replied.

"Do you think the moon in a foreign land is more beautiful than the moon in your hometown?" Rose asked as she breathed another puff of smoke.

She looked more natural and even a little charming when she smoked. Gabrielle had seen quite a number of women smoking but none of them looked as enchanting as Rose.

"No. But it is particularly beautiful tonight," Gabrielle answered as she gazed up at the sky from Rose's side.

For some reason, the tension in her mind was eased.

"Do you want one? It helps when you're in a bad mood." Rose handed Gabrielle the pack of cigarettes.

"No, thank you. I don't smoke." Gabrielle shook her head. She was not a smoker so trying it out was a bad idea.

"Rose, did something upset you? Why are you here instead of sleeping? Did you really just come here to look at the moon?" Curiosity got the better of Gabrielle. She couldn't help but ask. She knew very well that Rose did not come here just to have a view of the moon. There was no denying that she came here to spy on them. Gabrielle had decided to wait and see what Rose would do so she went along with her conversation.

Luckily, the moon was out tonight. Otherwise, they wouldn't have anything to talk about.

If that happened, they would be embraced with awkward silence.

Gabrielle was certain that Rose stood there in the yard, not to watch the moon but to keep an eye on someone.

Despite Rose's intimidating looks, Gabrielle was not scared at all. Instead, she felt close to her.
