Lock You In My Heart Chapter 380


    ‘What did that mean? Was it a confession of love?’


    Gabrielle was stunned to hear it, and looked at Macy in disbelief.


    She didn’t expect that her guess was right.


    “Macy, stop joking! We are just friends. There’s nothing more between us,” Gabrielle exined trying to


    sound calm andposed.


    It was a fact that they were just schoolmates. She didn’t think there was anything else in their


    rtionship.


    Being a cautious person, Gabrielle was never interested in love affairs with anyone earlier. Now, it was


    an equally impossible thing to happen. She was married to Westley and didn’t want to be involved with


    any other man. And especially not Jax, whom she respected a lot.


    “C’mon Gabrielle! Jax doesn’t treat you just as a friend. Everyone can see it. One nce and it is clear


    that he likes you a lot. Really, you don’t really have any feelings for him?” Macy was not someone who


    would indulge in gossip unnecessarily. But she knew that Jax liked Gabrielle.


    As a matter of fact, it was pretty obvious. Jax was the one who would always be around Gabrielle.


    Wherever she was, he was there too. Plus, he treated Gabrielle in a manner different from how he


    treated the other girls.


    Macy could see and feel that clearly.


    “Macy, it’s time to get into the ssroom now.” Finding herself in a weird situation, Gabrielle did not


    want to answer her question. So, she turned around and strode into the ssroom.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    It was obvious that Gabrielle was trying to escape from the conversation. Macy suddenly realized


    something.


    She understood now. Gabrielle knew that Jax liked her, she just never wanted to point it out. She was


    afraid that it might break their friendship.


    However, Macy was really envious of Gabrielle, who was a very talented designer and the top student


    in their department.


    It was a fact that talent was the most required thing for all designers. It was something that was innate


    and one was born with it.


    Gabrielle had that talent in her. It was teachers were fond of her and would rmend her name for


    all kinds ofpetitions. And Gabrielle never failed them. She always a low profile in the university.


    Though she had more talent than others, she worked very hard. Why wouldn’t anyone like her?


    It was hardly a surprise when Macy came to know about Jax’s feelings for Gabrielle.


    Though Macy didn’t have feelings for Jax, but being a girl she was really envious of Gabrielle. She was


    lucky to have someone who cared so much about her.


    Indeed, she was fortunate.


    After ss, Macy walked  if nothing had happened between them.


    “Hey! Gabrielle, do you have any work or any ns for this afternoon?” Macy asked.


    “Why, Macy? What’s wrong? If it’s important, I can skip the studio.” Gabrielle looked at Macy with


    concern.


    “Here is the thing! I was thinking that if you are free, you can go to my mom’s bakery and learn how to


    make cakes. She will be going to another city to attend an exchange meeting You wanted to learn to


    make a cake for your family at Christmas. Isn’t it? I spoke to mom. And it might be good for you to learn


    more about baking. You are really talented in making cakes. Do you know that? My mom actually was


    praising you. She said that if I had half of your talent in making cakes, she would be so gratified,” Mac


    y said jokingly, and rolled her eyes.


    Hearing this, a slight Don’t say that. You are smart. I’m sure if you are willing to learn, you can do better


    than me.”


    Hearing this, Macy reached out and put her arm around Gabrielle’s shoulder. “Well, I know you are just


    saying those nice things to me so that I don’t feel bad. You know what! I have an idea. Why don’t you


    be my mom’s apprentice? She will teach you everything she knows about baking and running a bakery.


    After I inherit her shop, we can work together to make it the best bakery in Antawood!”


    “Hmmm. Being a baker? That sounds nice. But I really want to be a jewelry designer. I appreciate it,


    Macy. And surely I’ll go to the bakery with you this afternoon.” Gabrielle thought that it might be thest


    opportunity for her to learn baking cakes. She really wanted to bake a birthday cake for Westley.


    Sometimes, she would be really worried. If she failed and made an ugly one, it would be more of


    a shock and disappointment than a surprise.


    “Okay, let’s have lunch first. Then we’ll go to my mom’s bakery. What do you want to eat? It’ll be a treat


    from my side.” Macy held Gabrielle’s hand and both of them walked out happily.


    Just as they walked out of the ssroom, Jax appeared before them. He stood in front of Gabrielle and


    took a deep breath.


    “Gabrielle, I have something to tell you. Can we talk for a moment?” Jax looked at her with admiration.


    Gabrielle took a look at Jax. She thought it was better to set things straight for him now. If he really


    liked her, she had to face him and tell him what she thought about it all.


    It was better to make things clear early, before it was toote and caused more pain. “Yes, Jax. Tell me.


    I’m listening.”


    Seeing him nervous, Macy decided to walk away. She felt it was better to give them some space.


    “Gabrielle, you guys go ahead and talk. I’ll go and wait for you at the school gate.”


    Gabrielle smiled helplessly and realized what Macy was intending to do.


    As soon as Macy left, Gabrielle looked at Jax again. “So, Jax, what did you want to talk about?”


    “Gabrielle, I know you like concerts and jewelry exhibitions. I have two tickets of such events at


    Christmas. One is a jewelry exhibition which will start at ten o’clock in the morning. The other is a ticket


    to a concert which starts at seven o’clock in the evening.” Saying that, Jax took out two tickets from his


    pocket and put them into Gabrielle’s hands.


    Gabrielle looked at him in a daze. “But Jax, I…”


    “Gabrielle, don’t refuse it so soon. Just consider it, okay? You can tell meter if you are really busy


    that day or cannot go for the events.” Jax was fearful that she would refuse him on the spot.


    Gabrielle didn’t know what to tell him.


    She had never been caught in such a tricky situation.


    “But Jax…” again she fumbled.


    “Gabrielle, there’s no hurry. Think over it. I’ll wait for your answer. I need to leave now. Catch youter.”


    After saying that, Jax turned around and left hurriedly.


    He was very afraid that Gabrielle would turn him down. He walked away in a hurry, as if he was


    escaping from someone.


    Gabrielle stood there stunned. She was holding two tickets in her hands.


    ‘What is this? Is this some new trick luck ying on me?


    Did Jax just force the tickets into my hands?


    Where did that gentle Jax go? When did he be so domineering and unreasonable?’
