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.
“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.
