Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685 Cold Beauty

 

Gabrielle was not a particularly remarkable “ck woman. But, with such two extraordinary men

 

escorting her, naturally, none of the other boys dared to approach her.

 

The rumors said that Gabrielle was a scheming woman who liked to seduce men. But that was all

 

bullshit. She had a pure friendship with Austin and Jax, and thefe, was no ambiguity in their relationships at all. 

 

Regardless, she was always labeled as a coquettish| and cunning girl in the mouths of many girls.

 

However, anyone with common sense could see how such a gorgeous and indifferent girl could be

 

unbearable for other girls. She was, after all, on a different level than everyone else, so other girls

 

would naturally regard her as a nuisance.

 

Because their hearts were burning with jealousy, dnd they couldn't do anything about it, they vented

 

their frustration by spreading rumors.

 

On the other hand, Gabrielle's arrival surprised these boys, who had chatted about her in private many times.

 

After all, Gabrielle had never participated in any patties or activities before. On top of that, with Austin

 

and Jax around her, no one dared to force her to go.

 

“Wow, welcome our cold beauty!"

 

“Welcome! Welcome!" 

 

"Is this the biggest surprise of the night?"

 

"Sure enough, Jax is awesome. He is able to ask the cold beauty out!"

 

"Jax, you are great! You said you didn't make an appointment because you didn't want to disturb our

 

cold beauty. You actually give us such a big surprige."

 

The air was instantly filled with the guys’ joyful praises. Many boys praised Jax loudly with the guts

 

fueled by alcohol when they saw him standing by Gabnielle.

 

This was the first time Gabrielle had heard et call her by the title 'cold beauty.’ She was aware that some students at school had given her a title like this, saying that she was a cold person who was not approachable and difficult to communicate with. Yet, no one had ever called her that in front of her. 

 

Now that she suddenly heard these boys calling hs by that title in such a loud voice in unison, she was completely taken aback. 

 

"Do they usually call me like that?" Gabrielle subconsciously turned her head to Jax beside her and asked. 

 

She felt that this title didn't match her temperament at all.

 

"Gabrielle, this is actually... Don't mind them. Theyaare all drunk now. If you don't like it, just take it as their drunken words." Jax was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain the matter properly.

 

It was indeed true that all the boys in Alorith University called Gabrielle in such a way. After all, she was really a cold and unapproachable beauty.

 

"It is okay," Gabrielle said as she felt that it was just a title, and there was nothing to think about.

 

"Why would Gabrielle mind it? Gabrielle is really cold and really beautiful. It's right to ignore those stinky boys. Is there anything wrong with that?" ohe of the girls said this casually as she came by and

wrapped her arms around Gabrielle's shoulders.

She then looked Gabrielle in the eye and asked, “Coll beauty, are you here to surprise us for Jax's sake?"

“What surprise to you? She is obviously here to|surprise Jax." A boy's voice interrupted the girl's

question as he came over with a glass of wine in ns hands.

“Since it's a rare chance for us to have a party tagether, you must drink two more glasses of wine

"I'm sorry, Miss Jones. You have a very famous nickname at school, which is cold beauty. So we are

used to calling you like that in private." The boy hurriedly gave out an explanation with a cheeky smile

on his face.

Gabrielle didn't like such a boy with a carefree demeanor, and her expression revealed her feelings

clearly. Jax noticed her displeasure and quickly pulled the boy away.

"It's all right. I understand it's just a form of address. But I hope you can call me Gabrielle in the future,

which will make me more comfortable. I'd like to propose a toast to you. It's the first time I've had a

drink with you in four years because I'm not used to hanging out with too many people." As she

finished speaking, Gabrielle raised her glass and : the entire contents of it.

"Gabrielle, you are doing a good job. Here, drink one more glass." The girl next to Gabrielle quickly

refilled her glass.

A frown formed on Jax's face as he watched the scene. But he didn't try to stop her. Instead, he

brought some food and put it on the small table in front of Gabrielle.

“Gabrielle, eat something. Drinking like this will you uncomfortable," Jax said as he gave her a

skewer of barbecued meat.

“Thank you," Gabrielle responded.

“Gabnielle, cheers! I didn't expect you to be such a straightforward girl. I like it." The girl next to

Gabrielle clinked glasses with her. Just like that, al] the people joined in the toast one after another.

‘T also like straightforward girls."

“Cold and arrogant and straightforward. It's just so likable."

“That's right. Come on, cheers!"

"Jax, let's drink together. Don't just take care of Miss Jones."

‘If the beauty is drunk, Jax will have a better chance."

When Jax heard this, he almost knocked over the - in his hand. He didn't propose to drink for her

out of selfish motivation. He just wanted to see Gabrielle get drunk because only then could he have

a chance to get closer to her. But he had no intention of taking advantage of it or doing anything

immoral to her.

After all, Gabrielle already had a husband. Jax just wanted to spend more time with Gabrielle, and he

had no other malicious motives. !

He knew that it was quite pathetic to like a person to such an extent, but he did love her that much. It

was also the first time he had ever loved someone'so humbly.

Although he felt very bitter in his heart, he was also very happy at the same time. He was happier than anybody else as long as he saw Gabrielle happy.
