Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 471

Gabrielle lay in bed, sleepless. She tried to call Westley several times with the satellite phone. However, she had to stop trying to contact him in fear of Bain finding out.

The dark circles under her eyes did not come as a surprise. After all, she woke up at dawn.

The moment she opened the door, the sight of Rose welcomed her. She had a bag on her hand.

"Good morning! You went to bed quite late last night. Why are you up so early? I brought you breakfast!" Rose handed Gabrielle the bag as she looked intently into her eyes.

"Thanks, Rose." She took the bag gratefully. Although Rose was Bain's spy, she treated Gabrielle and Lance well.

"You're welcome. Do you want to come hunting with me after breakfast?" Rose asked. She looked at her expectantly.

"Why do we have to hunt?" Gabrielle wanted to know why Rose was asking her to come hunting with her.

"I thought you liked chicken?" Rose asked.

Her invitation was nothing out of the ordinary. After all, Gabrielle did enjoy eating chicken.

It was not Gabrielle's intention to turn her down. She was just worried that Rose would be suspicious if she constantly turned her down. In the end, Gabrielle agreed to keep her company.

Coming to the forest was like a survival training boot camp for Gabrielle. She even learned how to hunt pheasants.

"Where are we going to hunt pheasants later?" Gabrielle asked as she drank milk.

"What is this talk about pheasant hunting?" Lance emerged from the stairs and asked.

He happened to hear their conversation as he descended the stairs. Curiosity got the better of him. Lance was wary of Rose. He always felt like Rose had a hidden agenda whenever she spent time with Gabrielle. It was only natural for him to not want Rose to spend some time alone with Gabrielle.

"You're awake! I'm taking Gabrielle with me to the woods. We're going hunting. She likes chicken so I want to take her with me. She's going to enjoy it. Won't you, Gabrielle?" Rose asked as she winked at her.

"Hmmm… I think it's nice. I want to experience it," Gabrielle replied. She had a feeling that Rose wanted something else and that hunting was just an excuse to spend some alone time with her. She could only find out when they left.

"I don't have anything else to do today. I can come with. Besides, you're women. I should be there to protect you and do the heavy lifting," Lance offered.

Rose nodded at him.

"He's right. It would be more convenient to have him around. Lance, hurry up and have some breakfast. We'll leave after you eat," Rose said. There was a sense of urgency in the tone of her voice.

When breakfast was over, Rose waited for the two of them to finish changing into combat clothing. She gave each of them a silencer pistol.

"Gabrielle, have you seen this before?" Rose took a crossbow out and showed it to Gabrielle.

"Only on television," she replied. Gabrielle did not expect Rose to show her something like that. She had never laid her hands on a crossbow before. Gabrielle had only seen it on TV. During the olden times, it was a glorified weapon. She did not expect to see one in the forest.

The operation was supposed to be simple. After all, using it looked so easy on TV.

"It doesn't matter. I'll teach you. I swear it's easy! I'll show you how to use it once then you can go ahead and try. Don't worry if you don't get it on your first try. I can show you how to do it again." Rose took an arrow and made a shot.

It made a thumping sound as it hit a small tree nearby.

The powerful force from her aim caused the arrow to pierce through the trunk.

"Rose… You're amazing!" Gabrielle couldn't help herself from clapping her hands. She was in awe at how precise Rose was.
