Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 569

From the bottom of her heart, Gabrielle didn’t want to have any interaction with Denton at all. Somehow, the frivolous look in his eyes as he looked at her annoyed her a lot. It was as if he could see right through her heart.

However, she couldn’t bluntly express it or avoid him, which irritated her even more.

“Mr. Sanderson, what can I do for you?” Gabrielle willed herself to ask out of feigned politeness.

All she wanted to do was to end this encounter as soon as possible so that she could leave.

“Ms. Jones, you seem to be dissatisfied with me in some ways. Why do you act hostile to me?” Denton asked back in reply as he looked at Gabrielle with a cynical smile.

“Mr. Sanderson, you misunderstood. Why should I be hostile to you when there’s no enmity between you and me?” Gabrielle retorted patiently.

“If you feel this way, then that’s good. After all, I am really looking forward to making friends with you, Ms. Jones.” Denton spread out his palm and gave her a friendly smile.

Hearing this, Gabrielle went silent. She didn’t know what to say.

Denton said he wanted to make friends with her, but she had no intention to do so with the man in front of her at all. If she could choose, she would rather make friends with Nathan who saved her life. At least, that would be interesting since she could learn something about jewelry from him while the man in front of her didn’t seem to know anything about jewelry.

Besides, how could she not know that Denton didn’t really mean about making friends with her? He was probably just curious about her for a moment and would be tired of her soon.

“Mr. Sanderson, I am going to be blunt. Is there anything you need from me? If there is nothing else…”

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Denton who covered his own chest and said pitifully, “Oh, Ms. Jones, it seems that you hate me so much. I am very sad.” Denton’s frivolous look really made Gabrielle speechless.

She had never met a man like him who made her suffer from headache. She wished she would never see him again.

She sighed helplessly. There was no need to be polite with a man like Denton anyway. Not to mention that her impression of him was not very good. It was unnecessary for them to know each other, let alone making friends. “Mr. Sanderson, we are not even familiar with each other. There’s no reason for me to harbor animosity towards you. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Not wanting to argue with him any longer, Gabrielle went straight to the point, her tone curt and her words brief. Moreover, she could sense that this guy had an ulterior motive, judging from the sinister look in his eyes. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright, I just want to ask you what the relationship between you and my brother is. Can you elaborate?” With a faint smile on his face, Denton made a request. Gabrielle didn’t expect that Denton would insist upon such a matter. She said impatiently, “Mr. Sanderson, didn’t you hear clearly what I said just now? Your brother and I are just ordinary friends and nothing more. Why do you ask me such a question when it’s so simple?” Gabrielle looked at Denton coldly, predicting what the real motive of this man could be. She could understand if this was Wilma who asked this kind of question to her.

After all, as a member of the Sanderson Family, it was natural for Wilma to have concern about her son’s wife. The Sanderson Family would try their best to protect its interests and so, Wilma’s son would have to marry someone who was from family of equal status in the future. Therefore, Wilma would be strict with her future daughter-in-law, which was fully understandable. However, it was Denton who asked her this question now. She couldn’t help feeling suspicious. “Ms. Jones, I’m serious.

I am just curious about the relationship between you and my brother. I care about you. After all, I liked you at the first sight and want to make friends with you.” Denton convinced, smiling gently. Instead of

feeling welcomed by his smile, Gabrielle didn’t feel any tenderness and only felt bad premonition in her heart.

“Mr. Sanderson, I am sure you can tell by my attitude. I don’t wish to make friends with you,” Gabrielle refused bluntly as she had had enough of this.

The man only exuded bad aura and made her feel uneasy throughout the interaction. It was unnecessary to make friends with such a person.

In fact, she should even stay far away

from a man like him.

“Ms. Jones, you don’t have to be so heartless like this. It’s just making a friend…”

Gabrielle coldly interrupted, “Mr. Sanderson, it might not be a big deal for you, but it is for me. I am a woman who has a husband and it’s not appropriate for me to make friends with the opposite sex for no reason. I don’t want to make my husband jealous either.” The look on her face became colder and colder as she refused more firmly.

“Ms. Jones, I didn’t expect that you would love your husband so much to the point that you consider about him in whatever you do. It’s making me more and more envious of that man. I wonder what kind of man he is for you to swoon over him like this. But one thing is sure and it’s that he is so lucky to marry you. Could I have a chance to meet him in the future?” Denton raised his eyebrows and asked politely.

“Mr. Sanderson, I’m sorry I can’t fulfill your request. My husband has a shy personality, so he doesn’t like to meet with strangers. Now, I’m going to find my husband. If you’ll excuse me, I’m leaving.” Gabrielle rejected without any hesitation and went straight to the elevator.

Coincidentally, the elevator door opened once she arrived in front of it, allowing her to enter immediately.

She couldn’t let out a sigh of relief until the elevator door was closed and her sight of Denton cut off. He made her feel very uneasy, but she couldn’t pinpoint what the problem was. Anyhow, that made her feel even more worried and the strange feeling was beyond description.

Anyway, one thing she knew for sure was that Denton was a dangerous man. He seemed to be mysterious, more unfathomable and horrible than Nathan and Victor. She was on the verge of breaking down.

She just wanted to escape from him as soon as possible. She was unwilling to see him ever again. Westley was stunned when he saw the frightened look on Gabrielle’s face once she arrived. “What’s wrong with you, Gabrielle? Why do you look so scared?” Westley grabbed her shoulder and observed her face carefully. His eyes displayed concern for Gabrielle. “I’m fine.” Gabrielle stuttered as she wondered if she should tell him about the encounter with Denton. “That’s good. How are Ms. Glyn and others doing?” Westley wanted to know whether Melissa and others accepted their invitation to spend some time together tomorrow. “Oh, about that, they won’t come. Jonathan told me what happened between them and the Morris family before. He finds it inconvenient to have dinner with the Morris family and also, since their daughter has come, they will spend some time with her,” Gabrielle explained.

Westley understood what was going on. He guessed that Jonathan would most likely disagree with the plan. After all, his sister had died because of the Morris family. There was no way he wouldn’t bear the grudge. Thus, it was reasonable for him to refuse to have dinner with the Morris family. “Well, it doesn’t matter. We can have a good time by ourselves. Besides, their family will be reunited during the holiday, so it would not be polite if we disturb them. It’s all for the best. Later, let’s go to the supermarket to buy more things in order to celebrate the holiday.”

Westley reached out and held her tightly in his arms while patting her back to comfort her. Of course, he knew how sad Gabrielle must be feeling in her heart. For her, Melissa was very special and so, she must want to spend some time together with her. However, since there were some circumstances, Gabrielle couldn’t force it to happen. “Okay, we will go to the supermarket later. How about him?” Gabrielle asked while walked towards the bed. “The doctor just came to check on him and said that he is in a stable condition.

The only thing we can do is to wait for him to wake up.” Crossing his arms over his chest, Westley briefly explained the situation. Over a matter of a person’s life and death, a person could only hope for the best since it couldn’t be controlled or be predicted what would happen. “It’s going to be okay. As long as his condition is stable, I believe that he will wake up soon enough. If we knew it earlier, we could have let Doctor Maniac stay here for a period of time for his treatment.” Gabrielle sighed with regret. “Gabrielle, don’t worry too much. I am sure he will wake up early since a kind woman like you has been praying for him.” Westley comforted her gently and kissed her forehead.
