Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 564

Gabrielle sat there, poking the food in her bowl with chopsticks.

"What's wrong, Gabrielle? You don't like the food? I can cook something else if you like. What do you want to eat right now?" Westley was deeply concerned about her after noticing she didn't have an appetite.

Gabrielle was spacing out and he couldn't help but worry. If she didn't eat, she might get sick.

"No, it's okay. My mind was just going into places. It felt like something was going to happen. By the way, did Ms. Glyn call this morning, Westley?" Gabrielle had checked her phone, but no one called.

She told Melissa she was supposed to visit Nathan with Jonathan today. Gabrielle was worried she wouldn't be able to come to the hospital because Melissa hadn't informed her of anything yet.

She wondered if Ms. Glyn had asked Mr. Walker about spending some days with them. She would love for them to come over to the villa.

"No. Is there anything wrong? If you have any worries, you can call Ms. Glyn directly, or I can ask Slater and let him check." Westley offered to help.

Gabrielle shook her head. "It's okay. I just have a weird feeling in my chest. Maybe I've slept for too long. I got drunk last night too so I probably haven't sobered up yet. I might feel better after relaxing and eating more."

"Great, have more of this." Westley continued to put food in her bowl.

After dinner, Westley took Gabrielle out for a walk. He thought the air would help clear her mind.

"Westley, do you think Mr. Walker and Ms. Glyn would accept our invitation to spend some days with us? I mean, the days before the national holiday," Gabrielle asked curiously.

"Well, I'm not sure. I don't think they would though." Westley thought Jonathan wouldn't want to come.

After all, he was a member of the Morris family. That would be enough for Jonathan to get uncomfortable even though he had never been a part of both families' personal affairs.

A person dying made everything tense. Because of this unfortunate matter, the two families had been at odds.

So when they sent the invitation to the famed couple, there was a possibility that Jonathan would not accept.

"Westley, why do I get the feeling that you don't want Mr. Walker to come here? Did something happen between the Morris family and the Walker family?" Gabrielle asked him with a serious stare.

Westley didn't expect Gabrielle to have caught on quickly. He looked at her and smiled. "They do have some grudges, but as to how serious, that depends on how you look at it."

"So, what is it?" Gabrielle pursued. Apparently she guessed it right.

Turned out the Walker family indeed had a mysterious past with the Morris family, probably to a severe degree according to what Westley hinted, and maybe not just about the rivalry between their companies.

"Jonathan had a sister named Joanne. She fell in love with my father thirty years ago, and then they broke up. After my father married my mother, she committed suicide. People from the Walker family blamed it on my father, even on our entire family. Because of that, the two families had a clear break and never spoke to each other ever since."

Considering the two families were in different cities, it was even difficult to meet each other once a year.

Moreover, if the truth was revealed, it wouldn't be a good thing for his father.

"It's normal to avoid it, but there will always be times when you can't. Like now, you have to see them because of me." Gabrielle felt uneasy.

"That's fate. Sometimes, the harder you try to get away from it, the more it chases after you. When you're destined to meet someone, even if you're from two different worlds, you're still intended to be with each other in the end. Just like us, no matter what happens or how long it takes."

Westley held Gabrielle's hand tight. He would never let it go for the rest of his life.

"Yes. It's really a magical thing. You have to believe it because sometimes it's unpredictable. People destined to be together can be reunited no matter how long they separate." Gabrielle totally agreed with Westley.

"Since we've found each other now, we'll never be apart. Promise me that no matter what happens, you'll never leave me, okay?" Westley asked seriously.

"I would never leave you. Why did you have to bring up such a sad thought again? Don't say any more. We've already promised each other." Gabrielle gave him a coquettish glance.

"Alright, I won't bring it up anymore, or else my girl will be upset." Westley kissed her forehead happily.

"Will Jonathan come though?" Westley gazed at her hesitantly.
