Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 69

Mia and Gabrielle were still together. Mia smiled from ear to ear when she thought about Gabrielle and her brother being together. She would do everything within her power to make sure that they became closer. What gladdened her heart the more was when she heard her praise her brother. She was overjoyed beyond words.

"I'm so happy that there is a possibility of my brother being with you. Do you think that my brother is a good man? Would you like to be my sister-in-law? Besides, it would be a nice thing for you to promise that you'll marry Micheal to thank him for saving your life," Mia said with so much excitement written all over her. She was so happy that she even swayed her body from side to side as she spoke.

"Mia, I'm sorry, but what I'm about to say will surely discourage you. Your brother and I can only be friends. There can't be anything more than that between us, '' she said as she looked at her seriously.

Mia's face froze and she looked at her completely confused. She wondered what was wrong. "Why, Gabrielle? Is there anything wrong with my brother? Did he do anything that you didn't like? Talk to me; let me know," she asked her with so much anxiety in her voice.

"No, he didn't do anything wrong. It's just that Mr. Robinson is a very good man. I don't think I deserve him." She shook her head as she said this.

"Why? I think you are a good girl. You are beautiful and kind at heart. It is rare to meet such a girl like you these days. My brother needs a girlfriend like you in his life." Mia looked at her pleadingly.

All this while, she had thought that Micheal and Gabrielle would be together.

It was surprising to hear that Micheal, who had always been aloof and celibate, would have some sort of interest in Gabrielle. She was in support because she knew that his object of attraction was a very nice person. She thought there was still an opportunity for them to improve their relationship.

But right now, her plans had failed woefully

She felt so downcast that she had to put her head down for some seconds.

"Mia, I need you to listen to me first. I don't know why you respect me the way you do, but I'm not as good as you think. Your brother and I just knew each other for a short time. You haven't even known me for that long. How can you think that I'm a nice person, nice enough to be with your brother?" Gabrielle asked her with so much seriousness. Actually, she was honored by the fact that Mia, who had known her for such a short time thought she was good, but she felt that she didn't deserve such honor. 'Not me, ' she thought to herself quietly.

"You're a good girl, Gabrielle. I remember vividly the day you helped me. Everyone was watching a play that night; nobody wanted to look in my direction. You were the only one who wanted to give me a helping hand. Sometimes, it doesn't take time to know a person. For others, they may not know each other all their lives, while some can completely understand each other in just a second," Mia said seriously with a smile plastered on her face.

Gabrielle was shocked by Mia's words, because she thought of herself and her brother, Bryce. She and Bryce had known each other for half a lifetime. Besides, they had lived under the same roof for twenty years, but she hadn't known him and what he was capable of until now.

"Gabrielle, what I said makes sense, right? You and my brother..."

"Mia, I'm married." She had to cut her short. Actually, she didn't want to break up Mia's fantasy, but the reality at hand was very brutal.

The smile on Mia's face froze. She didn't understand what she meant by such a statement. She understood, but didn't want to believe it. It took her a while to come back to her senses.

"Gabrielle, I don't understand. What did you just say? You have gotten married? Are you just pulling my legs? Tell me that you're just teasing me and I'll believe you." Mia didn't believe what she had said just now, not at all. It couldn't be true.

Gabrielle seemed to be in her early twenties. It was clear that she hadn't graduated from university yet. 'How could she be married?' she reasoned as she shook her head in disbelief.

"Ha-ha, Gabrielle, your joke is not funny at all. Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I don't believe it. If you had said that you have a boyfriend or a fiancé, I can still believe it. B

ut I won't believe that you're married. If you don't like my brother, I can understand because I don't want my brother to marry a woman who doesn't love him and has no feelings for him," she said in a hurry. Gabrielle understood what she meant by that.
