Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 654

Macy had always seen Austin as an excellent man in every way. At school, she had never had the opportunity to approach him. However, today she not only had dinner with him, but she also rode in the same car with him. She was even sitting next to him in the car. They were so close she could almost feel his warm breath on her skin.

In that moment, Macy completely forgot about the driver's presence. She only saw and felt Austin.

Macy was very excited right now. After all, she was alone with the man most girls would fantasize about. This might be the only time in her life that she was being this close to Austin, so Macy wanted to savor the moment to the fullest.

Austin was very popular at Alorith University. Although Macy had never known him personally, she was very familiar with what was being said about him. According to legend, Austin was a very solitary person who hated groups. He liked to be alone and always kept a distance between himself and others.

After all, he was the son of the powerful Foster family. He wasn't afraid of anything and therefore didn't need anyone.

However, Austin was very close friends with Gabrielle. Macy wondered how they got along, knowing Austin's personality. Maybe it had something to do with Gabrielle not really fitting in on campus either. One thing Austin and Gabrielle definitely had in common was their solitary attitude. Both hated crowds.

In the car, the silence was becoming really awkward. Macy couldn't take it anymore and decided to break the heavy silence. "Mr. Foster, thank you for driving me home," she said timidly.

It was the first time they had been alone together, so Macy was understandably very flustered. Just being in Austin's company was enough to get her sober.

However, the more sober she became, the more embarrassed she felt.

She couldn't even find a topic to discuss with Austin.

"You're welcome, Miss Taylor. You don't need to thank me though. I was just doing Gabrielle a favor," Austin said coldly.

The only reason he offered to drive Macy home was to help Gabrielle. She had been very busy all day and Austin figured she must be exhausted. So he didn't want her to worry about Macy on top of that.

The truth was Austin didn't really need to sober up just now. He just stayed there a little longer because he wanted to enjoy Gabrielle's company a little more.

So he could see how busy Gabrielle was seeing her guests off once the party was over.

He was content to be able to help her from time to time. As long as he could take as much stress off her shoulders as possible, he would be happy.

It was for this reason that he decided to send Macy back home. Right now, it was the only thing he could do to help Gabrielle.

Macy wasn't very shocked by what he said. In fact, she suspected it.

After all, she was nobody. Why would Austin care about her in any way?

She could never fool herself into thinking that Austin would be nice to her because he cared about her. Macy was a simple and very pragmatic woman. She knew what was within her reach and what was definitely out of her league.

"Don't worry, Mr. Foster. I didn't misunderstand you. You are good friends with Gabrielle, and you did this as a favor to her. However, I still want to thank you for sending me home," Macy said seriously.

"Tell the driver your home address. I'm a little tired. I'd appreciate it if you didn't bother me for nothing." Austin didn't even bother to look up at Macy when he said that. He leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes.

It was clear to Macy that he had no intention of talking to her. So not wanting to embarrass herself further, she told the driver where she lived, then looked quietly out the window.

It was getting really late and the streets were very quiet at this hour of the night.

The usually bustling town was plunged into total silence.

However, given the time, it as normal that the town was this quiet.

Meanwhile, Gabrielle had just come out of the bathroom. The bath did her a lot of good and she felt much better now. She went to lie down on the bed in her nightgown and didn't want to move a single muscle till morning.

One more thing about Westley was that he was a golden dad. Every time he was home he would take Star downstairs and the two of them would play for hours. This was indeed very beneficial for Star because it allowed him to move and communicate a little more with others. Staying in bed all day was definitely not good for Star and might even slow down his recovery.

Gabrielle rushed downstairs and saw Westley playing with Star and Tammy in the living room. The three of them were chatting happily. Every now and then, the kid's laughter would echo in the room, as well as Blackboo's barking.

The atmosphere was really cheerful and it were these bursts of laughter that made the house a lively one.

Gabrielle felt warm in her heart as she watched this joyful scene. This was the happy life she had always dreamed about.

She had a loving husband, an adorable son, a charming daughter and a nice pet. They all lived in a big house with a garden where they could play whenever they wanted. She couldn't wish for more.

"Good morning, aunt Gabrielle!" Tammy greeted happily as she noticed Gabrielle's presence in the living room.

Star quickly looked up and seeing Gabrielle, he greeted in turn, "Good morning, Mommy."

Gabrielle walked up to the kids and kissed them on the cheek. "Good morning, sweethearts. Sorry, I got up too late. Have you had your breakfast yet?"

"Yes. I had a good meal. I ate a bowl of noodles, and Star drank a glass of milk," Tammy said happily.

Gabrielle turned to look at Star and she was pleased to see how happy he looked.

"Honey, are you feeling better now?"

Westley asked Gabrielle, taking her hand.

Westley really changed a lot. Now, his wife was his priority. Whenever he was with her, he didn't care about anything or anyone else.
