Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 677

Chapter 677 I Am Sorry

 

The crazy man's wife had always been very special to him. Hence, there was no denying the depth of

 

his love for her. Joseph took everyone to a fancy restaurant. As the owner of the villa, he had already

 

arranged a sumptuous banquet.

 

Five people were seated with Gabrielle around a finely decorated table. This brought their total to six.

 

She was surprised by the quality of food they were served.

 

‘Even with a very good appetite, it will still be quite difficult to finish all the dishes,’ she said in her mind.

 

"This dinner being held tonight is in honor of someone really important. It is the formal welcome

 

ceremony of Gabrielle who happens to be a member of our family." Joseph raised his glass. He made

 

the announcement in an official tone.

 

"We are delighted to have you join us, Gabrielle."

 

“You are welcome!"

 

“Do not hesitate to tell us about any problem or challenge you might be confronted with in the course

 

of staying in Antawood. We will be very glad to be of help." The other three men spoke one after another.

 

Gabnelle was moved by their very touching words. In the past, she used to feel neglected and had no

 

real sense of belonging. Her presence was neither noticed nor needed. This was because she was

 

merely regarded as an adopted daughter of the Jones family. It was as if her thoughts and opinion did not matter.

 

"Thanks a great deal! I am truly delighted to be a member of this wonderful family." Gabrielle also

 

raised her glass. She clinked it with every single one of them. It was a gesture that was meant to

 

signify and express the extent of her gratitude.

 

Despite being a bitter pill to swallow, the fact that there were so many of Gabrielle's friends in Half

 

Moon Bay last night, was nothing but the truth. Now Westley's friends were the only ones around her.

 

These people seemed to have no care in the world. They did whatever pleased them.

 

"Well, you ought to sit down and eat something first." Westley took Gabrielle by the hand. Then he sat down.

 

"Kindly accept my sincere apology. It was not my intention to keep you waiting for dinner until now.”

 

"Is there something troubling you, Gabrielle? Do not hesitate to tell us about it." Jonas used to think of himself as someone who understood how girls reasoned.

After all, he was the boss of an entertainment company. So bevies of beauty were always around him.

Therefore, if this was a yardstick to measure the capability of a man's knowledge on the general behavior of women, then he was definitely the most qualified person. At least, that was his opinion.

"It isn't a big deal. I just thought about my very good friend for a second. We used to get along with each other like this. Sometimes, the words we used were too direct, harsh or even offensive.

 

But there was never a time when one of us got angry. This was because of the love we shared." Gabrielle shook her head. She was not upset. But it was evident that her Sloane occupied a very special place in het heart.

How long will she continue to be bed ridden as a result of the coma? It was going to be a year soon.

 

is she going to spend the best years of her life in such a dire state?’

 

“Gabrielle, if it isn't too much to ask, you can ask your friend to join us. She must be as humorous and beautiful as you.” Jonas tried to cheer her up. He wanted the conversation being about something less thought: provoking.

 

Unbeknown to him, he just made the matter worse.

 

“it is quite impossible to invite this particular friend of mine over for the time being. The young lady 1s in a hospital She has not had the privilege of being awake for almost a year now." She did not enjoy taking about Sloane's health. But when Gabrielle mentioned it, she felt a soothing feeling of relief.

 

Perhaps it was because she had completely acquiesced in the fact that Sloane would not wake up any time soon Maybe she had even braced herself for the worst. There was a chance that she might never recover from that coma

 

After all, there were some things that couldn't be altered no matter how hard a person tried.

 

For example, she remembered praying for Sloane to wake up, from the very first day she knew what had befallen her But days turned into weeks. Now so many months had also passed. There was no significant improvement

 

Sheer obsession wouldn't change anything. The best she could do was to take proper care of her friend Gabrielle was also of the opinion that she ought to live her life to the fullest while waiting for Sloane to wake up The most important thing was to never give up hope.

 

“Lam deeply sorry. It was not my intention to make you sad. Your friend must be going through a lot at the moment. Kindly forgive my recklessness.” Jonas regretted the comment he had made earlier.
