Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 76 I‘ve Been Suspended From School
It was still very early in the morning. Although the birds chirped noisily. the atmosphere was quite calm Gabrielle, still in bed,
opened her cyes and looked out of the window. She wasn’t feeling sleepy, so she stood up immediately. She slid her nightgown
on her body, opened the door, and walked out to the balcony. The air outside was quite cold and chilly which made her hold the
collar of her nightgown tightly. As a result of the chilly air. goose bumps immediately appeared on her arms. She walked close to
the railing looked down, and saw Westley standing in the garden.
He was still wearing the same clothes he wore last night “He must have been awake all through the night,’ she thought to herself.
He looked tall and well built in the white and black pants he wore, which made him look handsome. Although she could only see
his back and head from the angle where she stood, she was already attracted by him. Merely seeing his back was so captivating
that it could charm anybody.
With one hand in his pocket and the thier holding a glass of water, he stared ab nt mindedly. He was so lost in thought, looking
at the sky. that he didn’t know she way Staring at him.
Though she only saw hitti from the back, she could easily tell that he was very tired
“I’m very sure he didn’t sleep a wink last night and so he must be very tired, she Teasoned.
and she
just then, a rush of cold wind ble couldn’t help but snecze.
“Ah-choomi.!”
Before she could cover het mouth, it was already too late. He swung around and looked at her. He frowned when he saw
her leaning on the railing of the balcony in only her nightwear
“Am I so handsome that you can’t resist staring at the this early morning” he teased
her
Who was staring? Even though it was obvious. that she was staring at him, she wouldn’t admit it to him.

“I’m not staring at you. You’re the one who is standing in front of my balcony.” she said intentionally, but she soon regretted her
words immediately after she said them. How could she have forgotten whom she was talking to? How could she have spoken to
him in such kind of tone?
“Gabrielle, you have got some nerves, haven’t you?” he said she jueted at her closely,
It was until that moment that she found out that he did look charming when he looked up. She couldn’t help but be captivated by
his charming face. She was 20 let in het thoughts that she didn’t know that she was staring at him so much.
“Did you sleep at all last night?” she asked him with all seriousness.
“That’s none of your business. I already told you to stop meddling in my affalis.”
He gave her a cold plance, turned around, and went inside the house.
“I’ve never seen a man so afogant!” she said to herself
She wanted to tell him how proud and arrogant he was buit decided against it.
After some time, she freshened up and went downstairs.
She scanned the living room for ny trace of her husband but didn’t see him. Only Neil and the other servants were there.
“Good morning. Neil,”
she said as she
walked towards him. “Hope you had a sound
“Good moming, Miss Jones. Yes, I did. You’re up: 90 early today. The breakfast will be ready
*There’s no problem, I don’t have any isatie with that. Where is Westley? I saw himni come in just now while I was still upstails.
she
“He has gone back to his study. Do you have anything in mind to tell him, Miss Jones?” he asked as he looked at her.
“No. I just wanted to know if he stayed awake throughout the night. Why would he stay up so late?” She knew very
little about her husband. Although they lived in the same house, she felt she was far away from him s

“Yes, he didn’t sleep all through the night, which is quite a normal routine for Mr. Morris. He is very diligent when it comes to his
work. Miss Jones, you should care more about him in the future,” he reminded her.
“I want to care about him, but he doesn’t want me to. He doesn’t even give me the opportunity. He has warned me several times
not to interfere in his private affairs. I don’t know what else I can do to show him how much I care,” she inuttered as he lowered
her head. Westley tried as much as possible
to be apart frain her; he didn’t want her care neither did he want to be intimals with her.
What else can I do ta shohim how much I Care in this situation?’ she thought deeply. But then, she had noticed that the m e she
tried to show him how much she cared, the Tote he hated her without restants
“Miss Jones, what did you say?” Neil was in a trade just now and he didn’t hear what she had said clearly
She shook her head and smiled clumnaily “Not to Wolny. Neil. I didn’t say anything
She had got up so early. After she had her breakfast, she went back into her Toon to Fest for some minutes. Then she received
a call froin Mia
“Hello, Mia Are you okay?” Kementerine the scratches on Mia’s face, she became watried.
“I’m fine, thank you. My brother took me lu 2 hospital last night and they dressed the wounds and also gave me some medicine,
Now I’m being forced by my mother to stay at home until my wounds heal. Damn it! My wounds will take longer before they heal
totally. Do you know how long it will take? My brother is just like a devil! He doesn’t Want me to have fun!” she complained
bitterly
Gabrielle could undeniand how she felt. Mia was an extrovert and try lively and so, if she Was long forced to stay at home, she m
be very lonely and depressed
“Toti”t 17 such a thing. Min Mr. Robinson did what he did for your good. When the injuries on your face heal, you can dress
yourself up and come out to play. It’s better that way than teline laughed at by others because of the nimetoils injuries of your
face.” She tried to cxplain to her to make her understand why her brother did what he did.
“Well, it seems like what you said makes much sense lu’s far more pleasant to hear it from you than how iniy brother said it. By
the way, how’s your face? There are old wounds that haven’t totally healed yet, and now there ale niew ones. It must make you

feel very uncomfortable. Your husband came to pick you up last night, right? Was he so angry that he wanted to rip you apart, or
he wanted to rip the two bitches who dared to lay their hands on you?” Mia said with so much excitement.
“Can you stop sounding so volent. Mia?’ NY husband is not as brutal as you think.” In reality, Gabrielle knew that her husband
was more brutal than others thought.
“Anyway, I can tell that you both love cach other. Your husband is a great man, right? He
must have been very word when he waw you last might. Did you... Did you do anything too shocking to be saken about last night
Mia had always been playful and this showed in the way she asked her questions,
“Anything shocking like what? We did nothing. He just took me to the hospital to treat my wounds, nothing more. He is still ingly
with me.” Thinking of the look on Westley’s face that morning, she began to
feel uncomfortable.
“You can gently persuade him when he’s angry with you. If he is not appeased, just drag him to the bed and press your body
against his. I believe that would make him happy with you eventually.” Mia gave her a bad idea.
This made her speechless. “You seem to be quite experienced in thing like this, Mia. If you keep being seductive and flirty. I
won’t talk to you anymore.”
“Okay, okay. I give up. With the way you’re so reserved and uptight, one would think that you’re not married. It’s a pity that I didn’t
get to meet your husband last might. When can We see again?” Mia asked her curiously.
“Let’s talk about that later” How would she dare to take Mia to see her husband? She would be scared to death, considering the
kind of person Mia was
“Actually. I know you’re very conservative. You don’t want me to see your husband. I know you’re afraid that I will charm him.
with my beauty.” Mia was a chatterbox who derived happiness from talking nonsen1ST 2
What she said amazed Gabrielle
“You’re correct, that’s what I’m scared of. After all, you’re much more beautiful than me. So I won’t let my husband sre you 90
that you don’t steal him away from me,” she said heartily.

Mia’s mood was completely boosted by the way Gabrielle spoke with her. “You’re my source of happiness, Gabrielle. Since I’ve
been forced to stay at home by my brother these days, is it okay if I call you and chat with you when I’m bored? Mia asked
pleadingly
“It’s not a problem at all, but shouldn’t you be in school in the morning Gabrielle thought Mia might be in school.
“Well, for now, I’ve been suspended from school because I fought,” Mia uttered without feeling embarrassed at all.
