Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 573

Gabrielle was worried about the possibility that Mia might urge Micheal to have someone search for her.

But if Micheal had really sent someone to find her, she would have been found by now, given Micheal’s capabilities.

It appeared as if Micheal had not responded to Mia’s absurd request since Gabrielle hadn’t heard from anyone. After all, Westley and Gabrielle went off the grid together. Micheal must have known that she would be with her husband.

Hastily, Gabrielle sent Mia a message. It was quite early in Bangkok, which meant that it wasn’t too late back in Antawood. Mia should be able to read her text.

Her message was uncomplicated. Gabrielle merely informed Mia that she was in Bangkok and that she would be home in time for the holiday.

The moment Mia read her message, she called Gabrielle.

“Mia!” Gabrielle answered.

“Bah, don’t ‘Mia’ me! We are no longer friends. How could you disappear for so long without telling me? I would’ve found you ages ago if only my brother wanted to help me out. What are you doing in Bangkok?!” Mia was undeniably enraged.

She deemed Gabrielle’s unannounced disappearance unforgivable. After all, she was gone for a couple of months.

‘How could she be so willful? Considering she’s Westley’s wife! How could she just disappear without saying a word to me? What a great friend!’ Mia’s thoughts were filled with sarcasm.

“Westley and I came here for our honeymoon. My phone was broken so I couldn’t contact you. I’m sorry, Mia. I’ll take you out to dinner and get you a present when I go home. Please forgive me,” Gabrielle begged with all sincerity. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

When Mia heard that they were out for honeymoon, her anger dissipated.

After all, it was their honeymoon. It was understandable that she wanted to keep it a secret.

“Alright then. But promise me that you’ll call me as soon as you get back. And take me out to dinner. I don’t think I can forgive you if you don’t. Do you understand?” Mia threatened. Her voice was filled with anger.

Gabrielle burst into laughter when she heard what Mia had to say. “I know. Don’t worry about it. I’ll let you know as soon as I come back. Please don’t be upset anymore, okay?” “You’re not going to get off the hook that easily. When you come back, I will see if you really are sorry. Then I’ll consider whether to forgive you or not,” Mia replied proudly. Her words confirmed that she wasn’t upset anymore. “Well… I will still get you an apology present,” Gabrielle seriously answered.

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it. Are you enjoying your honeymoon?” Mia couldn’t help herself from prodding. She seemed ecstatic. “Of course I am.” Gabrielle was, indeed, happy. A Ithough she had suffered through a lot of things and almost died in her escapade, Gabrielle would never forget what she ent through in this place. Westley was by her side the entire time. Only in distress can one see true love shine. Westley and Gabrielle finally understood each other’s feelings now that they had gone through a life and death situation. A s long as Westley was next to her, Gabrielle was happy. “Hmm…

I can see that. You were so happy with Westley that you’ve forgotten about me,” Mia teased. Gabrielle’s happiness reverberated even through the phone line. Mia was beyond happy for her friend. lthough Gabrielle did not end up with her brother, Gabrielle’s happiness brought great joy to Mia’s

heart. “I didn’t forget about you!” Gabrielle argued. She was overwhelmed with everything that was going on that she couldn’t think of contacting anyone.

“I’m kidding! Don’t be upset. I didn’t mean to frighten you,” Mia assured in a hurry. She sensed the anxiety in Gabrielle’s voice.

It was but a joke. Mia did not want to put unnecessary stress on Gabrielle.

“I know. I’ll see you when I get back.” Undoubtedly, Gabrielle knew Mia enough to know that she was merely joking. If Mia really was upset with her, she wouldn’t bother talking to Gabrielle.

“I can wait. Just promise me you’ll have fun on your honeymoon, okay? I’m going to stop bothering you now,” Mia snickered.

“What are you talking about?” Gabrielle couldn’t find the words to say when she heard Mia’s laughter.

“What do you think I’m thinking about? My only wish is for the two of you to live happily ever after. Anyway, remember to call me the moment you get back. Otherwise, I don’t think I’d be able to forgive you,” Mia reminded.

“Noted. Good bye!”

“Bye!”

Gabrielle heaved a sigh of relief the moment their phone call ended. After that, she sent some messages to Macy and Lolita.

Other than Mia, they were her closest friends back home.

One was her classmate. The other was her colleague. She couldn’t help but wonder if the two of them would react as harshly as Mia. Coaxing people was not exactly on Gabrielle’s list of expertise. She did

not tell a soul about her trip to Bangkok. In the span of two months that Gabrielle had been away from Antawood, a lot had happened

. During that period of time, she never contacted anyone. It was understandable for her friends to be upset at her. s expected, Gabrielle received angry responses from Macy and Lolita. They both asked where she had gone and why she left abruptly. Her sudden disappearance was just too much for them. Gabrielle quickly replied, telling them that something urgent came up in Bangkok and that she’d be home in two days. She promised that she would explain the moment she arrived home. Lolita and Macy weren’t as excited as Mia. All they wanted was to catch up with Gabrielle when she got home. Gabrielle didn’t look into their simple request too much. She simply agreed to their wishes. fter going through her messages on the phone, she replied to all the urgent messages. Gabrielle spent an hour doing that but still, Westley hadn’t returned.

She had no idea what Westley and Remy talked about. Not knowing brought great heaviness to her heart. She was worried that they might not be able to come back to Antawood in two days. If that really was the case, she was determined not to agree. Gabrielle glanced at the watch on her wrist. She was about to turn her phone off and go downstairs to look for Westley when she was interrupted by the ringing of her phone. It was Lance. Since they parted ways in the forest, all she knew was that Lance and Bryce had gone back to the country. However, they did not keep in touch with each other. Gabrielle had no idea about their whereabouts.

Her phone was broken and she had not opened her WhatsApp for quite some time. When she finally had the chance to log in, a call from Lance welcomed her. Without a second thought, Gabrielle picked up. “Hello, Lance.”
