Lock You In My Heart Chapter 447
Gabrielle was silent through the long flight. She was evidently caught in a somber mood.
She felt deep remorse after she hopped on the ne to Thand to be with Lance. She should have
bid goodbye to Westley, at least.
‘Will Westley be upset if he found out?
I think he would be happy when he gets the cake I baked for him.’
“Gabrielle, are you feeling under the weather?” Lance asked as he handed her a ss of warm water.
Gabrielle reached for it and took a sip. The lubrication in her throat seemed to have made her feel more
comfortable.
“Thank you. I’m fine. It’s probably just because I haven’t been on a ne for quite some time,” she
exined.
Lance was an intelligent man. He could tell that there was something on her mind. If it had only been
because of the ne, she wouldn’t have reacted that way.
“Gabrielle, it’s going to take a while. You should get some sleep. I’ll wake you up when we get there,”
Lance said as he handed her a nket.
Gabrielle put her ss down and cozied up under the nket. She wanted to sleep for a bit to stop
herself from making more spections.
“Lance, can we bring Bryce with us? It’s a private ne after all,” Gabrielle asked.
“It depends. We haven’t even found Nellie yet.” Lance was worried about the situation.
They weren’t sure if Westley was on their side. Even though he was Gabrielle’s husband, they were still
wary of him.
“Alright, then. I’m going to go get some rest.” Gabrielle turned on her side so she could take a nap.
She wasn’t sleepy at all. Gabrielle just did not want to talk to him for fear of saying the wrong things.
Despite that, she dozed off anyway. Either her exhaustion or thefortable seat drew her to the world
of sleep.
They had alreadynded when Lance called her. It was dark outside.
“Gabrielle… We’re here. If you want to get some more rest, you can sleep at the hotel.” Lance didn’t
expect that Gabrielle would finally fall asleep.
Initially, he knew that she wanted to sleep because she didn’t want to talk to him.
She had a frown on her face as she slept. Lance was worried that she felt terrible.
When the nended, Lance received a call from the housekeeper. The cake had been sent to
Westley. He seemed irate over Gabrielle’s absence and asked where she had gone.
Lance did not utter a word about it.
Eventually, Westley would find out that Gabrielle had gone to Thand. Lance just did not want him to
find out too soon.
He should worry a little more about Gabrielle.
“Oh… We’re here. Are you waiting for me?” Gabrielle sat up. She looked out the window to gaze at the
sky.
It looked quitete. The ne hadnded at a private airport. A bright luminescence for a number of
lamps surrounded them.

Gabrielle felt like she was treading on an unfamiliarnd.
“We just arrived. You were fast asleep. I didn’t want to disturb your slumber. Did you sleep well?” Lance
asked in a gentle voice.
“I feel great. Should we go see Bryce now?” Impatience
filled Gabrielle’s insides.
She had a nightmare about Bryce. There was blood all over his body. He didn’t look back no matter
how loud she called out.
In her dream, Wendy was hysterically crying.
It was nothing but a dream. However, it was enough to upset Gabrielle.
The important thing was that Bryce was still alive. That was what mattered the most.
She wanted to see him as soon as possible.
“He’s not awake yet. We should go have dinner at the hotel first. You should rest as well. I will take you
to him first thing in the morning. How does that sound?” Lance suggested.
With his words, Gabrielle felt at ease. As long as she knew that Bryce was alive. It was alright for her to
see him a dayter.
“Alright. Let’s go to the hotel.” She proceeded to walk out of the ne.
There was a car waiting for them. From the airport, they travelled for over thirty minutes to get to the
hotel.
Gabrielle couldn’t bring herself to enjoy the majestic scenery.
“I know you want to see Bryce as soon as possible but I don’t think you should. You are not doing well
mentally. I can’t afford to stress you out even more. Especially when you get to see him tomorrow.”
Lance voiced out his concerns.
“Lance, I…
Okay. I see. Thank you for always looking after me. I should listen to you.” Lance was the only person
she knew in this foreign country. There was nobody else she could rely on.
When they arrived, Lance led Gabrielle to her room. He had asked someone to prepare everything she
possibly needed. Even if she came here empty handed, Gabrielle had nothing to worry about.
“Go take a shower and get some more sleep. If you need anything else, I’ll have someone fetch it for
you,”
Lance said.
“Thank you, Lance.” Lance’s actions filled Gabrielle’s heart with warmth.
He had always been so nice and amodating.
“Feel at home. I’ll have someone prepare dinner.” With those final words, Lance left the room.
Once Gabrielle had finished cleaning herself up, she went out to the balcony. She took a deep breath
as she gazed into the night sky.
‘Wasing here the right thing to do? I should be at Half Moon Bay, celebrating Christmas and
Westley’s birthday with him.
Westley… I’m so sorry. I’m sorry that I couldn’t be there for your birthday.
I hope the cake I baked makes you happy,’ Gabrielle whispered in her heart.
‘Would the cake be enough to rece my presence?’ she asked herself. Gabrielle had perfect
knowledge that it wasn’t. But she had no other option. She had to leave.
She couldn’t go back to sleep so Gabrielle decided to head downstairs.
As she stood by the stairs, Gabrielle caught a glimpse of Lance whispering to several men in the living
room. They were speaking in Thai so she had no idea what they were talking about.
It was new found knowledge to her that Lance knew how to speak Thai.
Gabrielle turned on her heels to go back upstairs for fear of disturbing them. She had decided to stay in
her room until dinner was announced.
