Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 683

‘Gabrielle is married?' These words echoed in Jax's head, and his heart sank in shock.

He had heard a little bit about Gabrielle's marriage before, but he didn't know if it was true or not, and he didn't know who her husband was. Because there were no hard proofs, he thought it was just a rumor.

However, now that he heard Gabrielle say it personally, he was shocked to the core.

His entire body felt as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt from nowhere, and he froze on the spot.

"Gabrielle, I've heard of it. But I thought... It was just a rumor." Jax spoke in disbelief.

Regardless of what he had assumed in the past, Jax felt he had no choice but to believe it now that

Gabrielle had confirmed it herself.

Gabrielle was really married.

"No, it's true. Why should I lie about my marriage? I don't have that kind of strange hobby." Gabrielle

gave out an explanation in a calm manner. :

Still, Jax's reaction left her dumbfounded in her heart. After all, why would she lie about something as

serious as a marriage? It was not something to lie or joke about in the first place.

"Some pretended to be single, and of course, some might pretend to be married. I thought...”

"You thought I lied for fun or to save troubles?" Gabrielle calmly continued Jax's sentence.

Without saying anything, Jax just looked at Gabrielle, trying to read her expression in the hope that

she was telling a lie. He did really wish for it to be nothing but just a lie. But, when he saw her calm

and firm expression, he realized his wish was not granted. She didn't appear to be lying at all.

So, Gabrielle was really married.

"Gabrielle, you always keep a low profile. None of us knew when you got married. And what kind of person is your... husband?" Although Jax knew that he had no right to ask Gabrielle about her husband, he couldn't help but want to know who that man was.

After all, he was the one who had won the heart of the beauty, who was known for her cold and

distant demeanor. To be able to marry such a beauty, that person must be something.

"My husband is a good man. He loves me very much, but he is very low-key. We didn't make our — marriage public because | haven't officially graduated yet, and he doesn't want me to be troubled.”

Gabrielle cleared out the other party's curiosity. Despite her calm demeanor, the corners of her lips  instinctively raised, and her eyes were filled with tenderness when she mentioned Westley.

It was not like Jax hadn't been in love before. Naturally, he knew what it meant from the look on  Gabrielle's face when she mentioned her husband. There was no way she would have such a tender and happy expression on her face if she didn't genuinely love the other person, whether he was her husband or not. She showed such an expression only because she had this person in her heart.

Therefore, Jax felt sure that Gabrielle liked her husband very much.

The look on her face when she mentioned her husband was clear proof. If she didn't love him, she wouldn't have that look on her face.

"Gabrielle, | can see that you two are in a good relationship. I am relieved to know that he loves you and treats you very well." Jax knew that he was in no position to say such a thing, but he couldn't help but speak out his mind.

 

"Yes, he is really good to me. So you don't have to worry about it," Gabrielle said calmly.

 

Every word she said showed that she was trying to defend her husband. Although these words were

 

a bit cruel for Jax to hear, he couldn't say anything about it.

 

"Gabrielle, as long as you are truly happy, I'll be mabey for you." Jax couldn't say anything but give the

 

couple his blessing. He did have a lot of things he wanted to tell her.

 

However, the words were stuck in his throat, and he could only swallow them down in the end. He

 

felt quite painful and uncomfortable inside.

 

"Thank you, Jax. I'm sorry I have to refuse your proposal to treat my family to breakfast. My husband

 

will be unhappy." A faint smile appeared on Gabrielle's face. Although she still had a bit of indifference

 

in her demeanor, she was doing her best to look nice. Sure enough, Jax felt enchanted when he saw

 

the smile on her face.

As Gabrielle was about to leave, the two girls came by and greeted her warmly.

 

Gabrielle vaguely remembered that the two girls were members of their photography association at school, but she couldn't remember their names.

 

Although Gabrielle studied jewelry design, she was also quite fond of photography and creative things, so she signed up for a photography association, where she met Jax.

 

Suddenly, Gabrielle felt that no matter how low-key she tried to be, it seemed that everyone knew her.

 

But on the other hand, she didn't even remember their names.

 

How embarrassing it was!

 

"Hey, guys. Jax didn't invite me here, I came here for vacation with my family, and 1 happened to meet Jax here." Although Gabrielle still couldn't remember what their names were, she thought it would be better to explain the situation. After all, she didn't want to cause any misunderstanding.

 

"What a coincidence! Jax asked us all to come here for a vacation. Are you sure Jax didn't invite you here? We were questioning why he didn't invite vl when we arrived today. And now you're here."

"Yes, it must be because Jax called you or something, or else why would you be here so coincidently?"

"Or maybe it was because you myo have a good understanding of each other?"

The two girls talked one after another, completely ignoring Gabrielle's feelings toward their guesses.

First and foremost, Gabrielle and Jax had nothing |to do with each other. However, hearing what the girls said, Gabrielle felt that the two of them were indirectly implying that they were suspicious of her and Jax's relationship.

But they really had nothing do'with each other. 

"Girls, enough. Gabrielle and I are friends, just like you guys and me." Jax could clearly see the discomfort on Gabrielle's face and immediately ° ned his mouth to defend her.

“Oh, are you defending Gabrielle? Just admit it, Ja . You don't just see Gabrielle as a friend. You like her." 

"That's nght. You two can't just be ends." 

‘I'm sorry. I'm going back first. My family is waitit g for me. They will be worried about me if I stay here for a long time." Gabrielle didn't want ta listen to them anymore and decided to leave.
