Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 535

That night, Westley didn't return, nor did Gabrielle get any news about his whereabouts.

Gabrielle had been waiting from afternoon. It was past midnight and she didn't feel sleepy at all. Westley wasn't back, and she had no information about him. It started to worry her, as he had never been so late. If he had some work, he'd make it a point to inform her about it.

"Mrs. Morris, please have some food. I'll heat it up for you. You can have some later too. Shall I bring it for you?" Jenna had tried to convince Gabrielle to eat but it was in vain. She heated up the dishes three times since the dinner was served. However, Gabrielle didn't seem to have any appetite at all. She was too anxious to even feel the pangs of hunger.

Gabrielle was restless because of Westley's absence. She couldn't calm herself down. So, quite naturally she had no appetite or wish to eat.

"Jenna, I told you already, I don't want to eat anything. I'll have my meal after Westley comes back," Gabrielle said calmly. She was trying to look composed and relaxed, but she looked extremely melancholic.

Jenna was starting to get worried about Gabrielle. But she couldn't force her to eat. She could only keep reminding and requesting her to have her meal.

She felt helpless. Being a maid, there was nothing much she could do.

"Alright, Mrs. Morris. Whenever you want to eat something, please tell me. I'll heat up when you want it. Till then, shall I bring you some desserts and fruits?" Jenna decided not to force Gabrielle to have dinner. She decided to at least make Gabrielle have some fruits.

"Okay, Jenna!" Gabrielle said helplessly. She sat still on the sofa, and kept staring outside.

The concern and worry in Gabrielle's eyes, started to trouble Jenna. She too started to get anxious.

Quietly, she went into the kitchen and brought some fruits and drinks for Gabrielle.

"Mrs. Morris, please eat something first. Mr. Morris told you that he will come back today, then he will definitely keep his words. I'm sure he won't lie to you." Jenna tried her best to comfort Gabrielle. She didn't know where Westley was. Thus, she didn't know what to tell Gabrielle.

"Hmm. Thank you, Jenna." Gabrielle nodded at Jenna and smiled. She was able to understand what the maid was trying to do and was touched by her concern.

Jenna didn't say anything more. She placed the fruits and drinks on the table and left.

Gabrielle drank some water but couldn't bring herself to eat anything. She just sat there quietly, with her eyes fixed at the window. She was only waiting for Westley to come back.

Sitting there idly and waiting for him, she didn't even realize when she fell asleep on the sofa.

When Gabrielle woke up a few hours later, she quickly looked around in the room. No one was there. She took a quick look at her watch. It was already four o'clock, but Westley hadn't come back yet.

Gabrielle couldn't stop herself. It had started to make her more worried. She lifted the blanket and wrapped it around her body. Huddled in the warm blanket, she walked out of the house.

Slater had been standing outside the villa all the time. He was extremely vigilant. When he saw Gabrielle coming out, he instinctively stopped her. "Mrs. Morris, why are you coming out at such a late hour?"

"Slater, Westley hasn't come back yet. Can you contact him? Or at least tell me where he has gone? Then, I will be relieved and feel at peace," Gabrielle said to Slater. She decided to directly put across her worries.

Saying nothing, Slater just looked at Gabrielle, coldly and seriously. "Mrs. Morris, I do not know anything. Rather, we have no right to enquire about Mr. Morris' whereabouts. If he doesn't tell us, then we do not ask. But you can rest assured that Mr. Morris will be fine."

"What do you mean that he will be fine? It's so late, and he still hasn't come back yet. How can I not worry about him? Call him now, please. I want to know where he is!" Gabrielle was already anxious. She started to urge Slater to make a phone call.

"Please, Mrs. Morris. I..."

Before Slater could finish his words, several cars drove past the gate from outside. They all lined up near the villa.

Once the cars stopped, Gabrielle ran over towards them. She knew Westley must be in one of them.

Sure enough, the door of one of the cars opened and Westley got out of that car.

As a wave of relief passed over her, Gabrielle rushed ahead. Without thinking anything, she just threw herself at him and held him tightly in an embrace.
