Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 523

The day was still young. It was around half past six in the morning. Therefore, most of the guests in the villa were still in bed. As a result, there was almost no one in sight outside when Gabrielle and Westley went past the glass walkway.

 

From the long corridor, one could see the rain drops falling from the sky because it was built with a kind of transparent glass in a manner that was very appealing to the eyes.

 

Still, apart from being so beautiful and efficient, it provided a very comfortable place to walk in the rain. They did not bother themselves about getting wet. Fortunately, their villa was also only a stone's throw from the glass corridor. All they needed to do to easily get to the place was just to take a few steps under an umbrella.

 

"Wow! This is even more amazing than I imagined," she remarked excitedly. Her surrounding was so intriguing.

 

Gabrielle looked up at the transparent roof. There were fallen leaves, petals and raindrops forming another small world on top of it.

 

"Isn't it just awesome that we were able to come?" Gabrielle asked. "Of course, it's really fascinating!" Westley said in agreement.

 

'If people look at things calmly, without their prejudice and uneasiness, they will find out that everything in front of them is intrinsically wonderful,' Westley thought to himself.

 

"I don't know for sure if we are going to leave today. The downpour has been incessant and it is quite a long time now. In case we are staying, let's go to the spa in order to relax ourselves. It is also good for the skin."

 

Gabrielle had a general understanding of all the projects.

 

The spa project was very suitable for the two of them. In fact, it was the same as the hot spring water they had soaked themselves in while in the villa. It helped them to remove the scars on their bodies effectively.

 

"Alright, we are going to do just that." Westley had nothing else to opine. It was very rare for Gabrielle to feel relaxed. Besides, he was quite certain that the internal strife of the Sanderson Family had nothing to do with them. So there was no reason for him to worry about anything.

 

"That's a deal! I'm looking forward to it today. However, let's have breakfast first," she said. A heartfelt smile appeared on Gabrielle's face, stretching the lips and showing her lovely set of teeth. It also brightened up her countenance and swept away her gloomy mood from the night before. The feeling was especially good.

 

"Yeah, it's the same here. I'm looking forward to it too." Westley held her hand before walking on.

 

They could see the alluring scenery outside. Their breakfast in the hotel was a buffet. The two of them took some food and chose a tatami table in the corridor made from glass.

 

"Firstly, you ought to sit down and eat your food, Gabrielle. I have got to fetch some beverages," Westley said to Gabrielle.

 

But she was hesitant. Gabrielle stood up wanting to go with him.

 

"Just go on with your meal, sweetie. Do you care for some soybean milk and juice?" Westley didn't want to see her move around. "It's just to the buffet table and back. I'll be here in no time."

 

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you. Thanks a great deal, Mr. Morris." Gabrielle looked at Westley with a wide smile on her face.

 

"So give me a minute or so. I'll be back here really soon," Westley reminded her before leaving.

 

While he was away, she took a small bite of porridge and admired the amazing scenery outside. Gabrielle kept on waiting for Westley's return.

 

"Is this not Miss Jones? What a coincidence!" Gabrielle was called upon by a man just passing by.

 

In response to the call, she turned around and looked at his face. It was very evident that Gabrielle was surprised to see Victor.

 

"Mr. Sanderson, this is indeed a striking coincidence! What brings you to this hotel?" she asked. "Were you trapped in the rain yesterday after going downhill, too?" Gabrielle thought that fate must really be at work between Victor and her.

 

She didn't have the slightest expectation of seeing him again after they met in the temple. But it so happened that on the second day, the both of them were in front of each other having a conversation.

 

'Maybe the reason why Victor stays in this very hotel can be easily explained,' Gabrielle said in her mind. 'Westley has checked and ascertained the fact that this is the nearest hotel here. So Victor most likely didn't find any other one around.' She tried to come up with a plausible reason in her mind.

 

"Yeah, you are right. I was trapped. Thanks to the heavy rain though for giving me the privilege of seeing you again, Miss Jones," Victor replied. "I think the Buddha has made it possible for us to meet yet another time, don't you agree?" Victor replied in response to what Gabrielle said earlier.
