Lock You In My Heart Chapter 504
In the evening, they picked a rather obscure restaurant. Few people knew about it, and it was located
by the sea. Although it wasn’t mainstream, it boasted of spectacr views. Plus, it was safe.
It didn’t really matter whether the establishment was safe. Either way, there were members of the
Campbell Family surrounding the ce whose only mission was to keep their eyes on them and protect
the couples.
They were secured enough, and it gave them peace of mind.
“The scenery here is really breathtaking.” Gabrielle sat down and rested her chin on her hand. She
looked out the window, appreciating the stunning seascape. A soft smile yed on her lips.
She would love it if she could take a walk on the beach. She hadn’t strolled like that in quite a while. It
would be nice to feel the cool water and soft sand on her feet.
“Do you want to head down to the seaside?” Westley asked her. He could see the emotions on her face
—the excitement and longing. He knew what she wanted in that moment.
“Yes, I do. But… Should we?” Gabrielle darted her eyes anxiously from Westley to his brother and
sister-inw. She had no idea if it was allowed. She shifted in her seat uneasily.

They didn’te out here to have fun. Westley’s brother and sister-inw weren’t ordinary people. If
Gabrielle identally got herself in trouble, they would be put in danger.
“Of course, Gabrielle. If you want to walk by the beach, just let Westley apany you. You don’t have
to worry. It’s swarming with people from the Campbell Family. You’re safe even down there.” Bonnie
smiled and urged her.
It was obvious to anyone watching that Gabrielle was yearning to take a stroll. No wonder she lit up
with excitement and anticipation when Bonnie brought up the idea of having dinner by the sea.
“Let’s go and walk, Westley. We won’t take long, I promise.” Gabrielle quickly pushed back her seat
and stood up. She smiled at Bonnie and her husband.
“Okay,e on.” Westley also stood up, took her hand, and led them outside. He was so tall that
Gabrielle’s head only reached his shoulder. She squeezed his arm in eagerness.
Halfway through, Gabrielle let go of Westley’s hand and walked quickly. She stared in wonder at the
beautiful view before her. She beamed at him.
“Westley, look at the sea!” Gabrielle took off her shoes and walked into the sea. Her feet sank into the
sand, and sheughed.
“Gabrielle, you still have wounds on your legs, remember? It’s going to hurt if you soak them into the
seawater. It’s like rubbing salt to your injury. Be careful, okay?” Westley raised his voice, so she could
hear him above the noise of the waves. He trotted to catch up to her.
He was afraid that her wounds might get infected because of the seawater. She hadn’t fully healed yet.
He also noticed how big the waves were, and he feared that she might get washed away. She was a
petite girl, after all.
“I’m fine, thank you. I’ll keep that in mind. Besides, look at my wounds. They already formed scabs, and
the water wouldn’t easily get into the wounds. They’re starting to heal already. So I’ll be fine,” Gabrielle
responded patiently. She wasn’t going to let him spoil her fun.
She gave him a hard stare before starting to y in the water like a kid. She loved the feel of water and
sand beneath her feet.
Westley said no more, especially when he saw how her face exuded happiness. He just stood there
and watched her. Even he couldn’t help but smile at the scene.
It was worth it. He realized he could stay in this spot for hours just to watch her.
It was a good thing they were in Thand rather than Antawood. Even with several visitorsing and
going, few of them knew him. They basically ignored him and Gabrielle. He could finally apany
her freely, without worrying about those around them.
It just felt so good. He hadn’t felt this kind of freedom in so long. He didn’t realize how stifling Antawood
had be until that moment.
He had a sudden urge to settle down here, where he and Gabrielle could freely do things they wanted
to do. However, he knew that it was unrealistic. It would be better to solve all the problems here as
soon as possible and return to Antawood. When they got home, he would make their marriage public.
That way, they wouldn’t need to hide anymore, and they could act like every other typical couple.
“Gabrielle, slow down. Be careful of the shells under your feet. You might scrape your skin with the
sharp edges. Don’t hurt yourself, okay?” Westley was concerned, so he moved closer to her. But even
his words didn’t dampen her spirit.
Westley had been nagging her all the time—even for small things. When did he be this long-
minded? Sometimes, he didn’t even recognize himself anymore.
What a verbose man!
“Westley, I’m alright. You don’t have to keep on reminding me. I’m a grown woman.” Gabrielle turned
around and threw water at him yfully. Sheughed when she saw
his reaction.
Just a little warning.
Westley didn’t expect her to do something so childish. He wasn’t prepared, so his eyes widened in
surprise.
Fortunately, only his face and part of his body got wet. He wiped water near his eyes with his sleeve.
“Gabrielle, you’ve changed. Are you ready to incur my wrath?” Without waiting for her to respond,
Westley rushed to her.
Gabrielle yelped and sped up as he ran after her. She slowed a bit because she was doubling over with
laughter.
They kept on chasing each other, and some guests turned their eyes on them. Their happiness was
infectious to everyone around.
Westley and Gabrielle ran around and sshed on the waves. They looked so carefree and happy.
Westley stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. They both tried to catch their breaths.
“Still running? Are you still going to run into the sea again? You silly girl.” Westley held her so tightly in
his arms that she could hardly move. He rested his chin on top of her head and rubbed his cheek on
her hair.
Gabrielle was a little weary from running. She didn’t struggle and just stayed there, wrapped in his
arms. She leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
“Westley, I was having a good time by myself. If you didn’t start chasing me, I wouldn’t have kept on
running. This is all your fault, you know.” Gabrielle’s tone was chastising him, but she bit back a smile.
“Okay, okay. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have chased you. But why did you ssh water on me without
letting me know in advance?” Westley asked her.
“So, are you angry with me now?” Gabrielle leaned her head back to stare up at him.
“I’m not angry, but you have to make it up to me. Right?” Westley took the opportunity to make a
request. His eyes were serious, intense. But there was a shadow of a smirk too.
He liked taking advantage of situations like this.
And Gabrielle had gotten used to it. It was a piece of cake.
Gabrielle pulled out of his arms, stepped on his feet, and tiptoed. She put her arms around his neck,
pulled him a little closer to her, and kissed him on the lips.
Westley held her waist and kissed her more affectionately. As the sun set, the couple kissed in the
waves. The scene looked something straight out of a romance movie!
After the kiss, Westley carried Gabrielle on his back. They had been out there for almost an hour, so it
was time to go back and have dinner. They shouldn’t make his brother and sister-inw wait too long
for them.
“Westley, are you going to carry me like this all the way to the restaurant?” She rested her head on his
shoulder happily.
“Of course I will carry you back, you have my word. I won’t let go.” Westley walked towards the
restaurant with her on his back. She was barefoot, and he carried her shoes in one hand.
“Wait. Your leg…”
“It’s alright. I’m fine. You’re forgetting how strong I am, Gabrielle. Trust me, this isn’t a big deal,”
Westley told her firmly. Gabrielle tightened her hold on him.
“Ok, carry on. I know you’re the best husband in the whole wide world.” Gabrielle kissed his nape and
smiled happily.
“Then I’ll carry you back. No more questioning or doubting my strength.” Westley was smiling too. She
was as light as a feather.
“Gabrielle? Is that you?” A familiar voice stopped her. Westley stopped too when he heard someone
calling his wife.
Gabrielle looked up, catching sight of Melissa not far away. Gabrielle gasped. She didn’t expect to see
the other woman here. In fact, she never thought they would bump into someone she knew.
Gabrielle quickly got off Westley’s back, smoothed her clothes, and grabbed her shoes from him. She
walked towards Melissa. “Ms. Glyn! What a coincidence! I didn’t expect to see you. Why are you here?”
“I was a little surprised to meet you here, too. I was actually hesitant to greet you just now because I
was afraid I mistook you for someone else. The idea never urred to me that you’re really here. Are
you on vacation?” Melissa took a nce at Westley standing not far away. Then she looked back at
Gabrielle.
“Yes.” Gabrielle nodded in agreement, but she bit her lower lip.
“Did you hurt yourself?” Melissa asked apprehensively as she noticed the scabs on her forehead and
cheeks. Gabrielle had wless skin, so it was easy to notice them.
“I was in the middle of a project when I met an ident. Don’t worry, Ms. Glyn. The wounds are
already healing. Are you here for a vacation, too?” Gabrielle quickly changed the subject, but she
noticed Melissa still staring at her old wounds.
“No, I came here mainly to work. I epted an order from a boss whomissioned me to make a set
of jewelry for hising-of-age daughter. The training ss was postponed, so I came here in
advance. By the way, I seriously didn’t expect to bump into you here of all ces. There might be some
sort of bond between us.” Melissa was delighted, and she held Gabrielle’s hand.
