Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 682

 

‘They are the students from my university?’ Gabrielle doubted what Jax told her.

 

She took a look at the young people who were chatting by the bonfire. She had doubts about it since

 

she hadn't seen any of them before.

 

If it weren't for the fact that Jax came over to talk to her, she would have considered them as

 

strangers.

 

She got to know Jax when she joined several societies at university before. She was aware of the fact

 

that Jax had feelings for her.

 

However, Gabrielle remained indifferent about it the whole time as she didn't like Jax. She didn't give

 

him any chance at all as she avoided his every attempt.

 

They were still fnends, but that was all and nothing more. However, Gabrielle tried her best to steer

 

clear of him because Jax was very popular at her university. Many girls liked him and expressed their

 

love for him. 

 

Gabrielle was intelligent enough to know that associating with him in whatever way was akin to

 

getting herself in trouble.

 

Therefore, she tried her best to avoid him.

 

Not to mention that she had no interest in him or his private life at all.

 

Moreover, Gabrielle wasn't the type of person who enjoyed socializing with people. Even if she joined

 

some kind of community club, that was out of obligation and even then, she would not reveal too

 

much about herself. So, naturally, she was the least eye-catching one in her social relations.

 

As a result, she was not keen at all about joining the reunion or getting along with other students.

 

That was the reason why she wasn't familiar with most of the students in her university. As a result,

 

in other students’ eyes, she was a beautiful girl who had a low-key personality and had won several golden prizes in the campus design competition.

 

People even called her a stone-cold fox behind her back, and the girls in other departments disliked her.

 

What they hated most about Gabrielle was the way she behaved so arrogantly with that pretty face of hers. And yet, she was nothing more than an adopted daughter of the Jones family.

 

"Jax, since they are your schoolmates, | won't go to say hi. After all, I'm not familiar with them and it

 

will only be embarrassing if | go over." Gabrielle waved her hand and refused politely.

 

It was not that she had a social phobia. She just didn't like to make friends with strangers, especially when it was in the face of a group of strangers.

 

After all, they were not even her classmates, but the schoolmates whom she hadn't even seen before.

 

today, I won't mind it. But since we will stay here for the next two days, there's still a chance for you

to join me. If possible, I'd like to invite you to have breakfast with me tomorrow. Of course, your

family can join us, too," Jax said again with a hint of expectation in his tone. He didn't want to give up

this kind of opportunity.

Gabrielle thought in amusement, 'Did he just invite my family to have breakfast together?’

If Jax knew that the family she was referring to was Westley, he would probably give up the idea and run away. After all, not everyone had the courage to invite Westley for breakfast so casually like this.

“I appreciate your kindness, but I don't think we can accept the invite," Gabrielle retorted calmly.

Asides from the reason that she felt uncomfortable, she was afraid that Jax would feel burdened.

After all, even if Westley learned of this and agreed, Jax might not be able to have breakfast with him at ease. Besides, it was very unlikely that Westley would agree to have breakfast with him.

“If it's not convenient for your family, how about I treat you to breakfast alone then?" Jax continued persuading, seemingly oblivious to Gabrielle's unyielding attitude.

“Jax, you don't have to buy me breakfast here. This resort serves three meals to the guests." In fact, if it was for Gabrielle, it could be possible, but she didn't want to tell him that she knew the owner of the resort. Anyhow, what she said was true.

In addition to other specific reserved dishes, the resort provided three meals a day to the guests.

Jax felt a little embarrassed when he was rejected once again. Why was it so difficult to ask a girl out

for a meal?

"Gabrielle, I know that. I mean we can try some specialties here. If you don't prefer that, we can

always have a meal outside another time. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I Just

want to treat you a meal," Jax said anxiously as he observed Gabrielle's reaction carefully.

Of course, Gabrielle knew that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. After all, she had been

absent at college and she didn't go back to attend after she came back from Bangkok either.

Nevertheless, she wasn't very close to Jax, and what was more, the fact that he was the cousin of

Benny didn't make her feel the need to do so. So, they hadn't seen each other in private at all.

They didn't even have contact with each other. She didn't expect to encounter with him here like this.

"lax, we indeed haven't seen each other for a long time. Thanks for your invitation, but I really can't make it." Gabrielle was determined about her statement as she looked at him calmly and indifferently.

At this moment, Jax realized why Gabrielle was called stone-cold fox at Alorith University. He had never seen her smile at anyone except for Sloane and Austin. She indeed lived up to her nickname.

However, what could he do when he was so attracted to her? He had fallen in love with her at the first sight.

"Gabrielle, can't I really have a meal with you? Can you at least consider about it? Don't tell me you are acting like this because of what happened between my cousin and Sloane. It has nothing to do with me. You can't refuse to give me a chance just because of them, right? I really want to be friends with you," Jax said sincerely, and his tone had a hint of powerlessness.

"Jax, I don't mean to make you think that way. don't dislike you, nor do I blame you for others

' matters. It's just that I'm married. Do you know about that?" Gabrielle asked calmly.
