Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 567

Jonathan did not expect these words to come out of Gabrielle’s mouth. He was also taken aback that Westley told Gabrielle about the feud between the two families.

As a junior, Westley shouldn’t have taken the blame for the grudges of the elder generations.

It was just that Jonathan did not have it in himself to forgive the Morris family. Especially not Westley’s father.

Having dinner with the son of his sworn enemy was an impossible feat for Jonathan.

“Mr. Walker, please don’t put the blame on yourself. It’s all my fault. I had no idea what was going on. I am so sorry for inviting you to dinner without taking a second to think. It was extremely reckless of me. I’m so glad we’ve cleared up our misunderstanding.” Gabrielle breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s fine. Let’s pretend it did not happen. Come, I’ll take you to see Nathan,” Jonathan replied, trying to forget about the matter.

“Dad ?!” A surprised voice interrupted Jonathan.

Gabrielle turned on her heels and saw a slender, young woman walk their way.

“Jasmine, aren’t you supposed to be in Italy? What are you doing here in Bangkok?” Jonathan was taken aback by his daughter’s presence.

“Dad? How could you say that? Mom was badly injured. Why didn’t you tell me? If I didn’t find out about it, would you have kept it from me forever?” Jasmine Walker was infuriated. She shot her father an angry look.

“Jasmine, this was all your mother’s idea. She didn’t want to distract you while you were visiting the art exhibits. Your mom wouldn’t let me tell you,” Jonathan answered as he helplessly gazed at her

“How could you think that an art exhibit was more important than my mother? Why would you listen to her?! Whatever. I’m here now. I’m going to see mom,” Jasmine seriously said.

“Go ahead. I’ll take Gabrielle to see Nathan,” Jonathan said. “Nathan? Is he injured as well? Who is this woman, anyway?” It wasn’t until then that Jasmine took notice of Gabrielle’s presence. She couldn’t explain why but she just couldn’t help but be hostile to this beautiful woman. Jasmine had seen quite a number of beautiful women before but none of them were as annoying as Gabrielle. “Nathan is in a coma. This is your mother’s student, Gabrielle.” Jonathan gave her a brief introduction. “I see. You must be Gabrielle Jones. My mother wouldn’t stop talking about how amazing you are since she arrived home from Antawood.”

Suddenly, Jasmine’s memory was refreshed. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Ms. Jones. I’m Jasmine. I’ve heard so much about you. My mother says that you’re smart and creative. She keeps on talking about how rare it is to find such a talented jewelry designer like you. You’re just as beautiful as my mother said.” Jasmine offered to shake hands. Gabrielle gladly reached her hand out to shake hers. “It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Walker. Ms. Glyn certainly has placed me on a pedestal. I

‘m not as good as she made me out to be.” “My mother does not often place people on such high regard. If what you’re saying is true, my mother wouldn’t have wasted her time on you, let alone talk about how good you are every chance she could get. Ms. Jones, you must be amazing. I have faith in my mother’s judgment. You don’t have to be so modest in front of me,” Jasmine replied. Gabrielle was left with no choice but to nod in agreement. “You must be bette r than me, Ms.s Walker.” “Let’s stop bragging about each other. We’ll have more chances of getting to know each other in the future. It was a pleasure meeting you, Ms. Jones,” Jasmine said in all seriousness. “Ditto.”

“I have to go. I want to see my mother. Dad, please take Ms. Jones to see Nathan. I will drop by his room once I’ve seen mom.” With those final words, Jasmine strutted to where Melissa was admitted.

“I apologize for my daughter’s sharp tongue. That’s how she normally is. She’s straightforward and always says whatever comes up to her mind. If she has offended you in any way, please don’t read into it too much,” Jonathan apologized for his daughter.

Gabrielle did not pay much attention to it. She just laughed and said, “Mr. Walker, it’s fine. I look up to your daughter. Being straightforward is something she should be proud of.”

“I’m glad to hear that she hasn’t offended you. Nathan’s room is right this way.” It was good Jasmine was straightforward but she had offended others easily because of that.

“I know,” Gabrielle replied. She had been to Nathan’s ward before. However, that time, someone had been guarding his door. She wasn’t allowed to visit then.

Now that Jonathan kept her company, they let her in almost immediately.

They went straight into his room. There were only two people inside. One was a middle-aged woman, the other was a young man.

“Mr. Walker, what brings you here?”

the lady asked in surprise.

“Good day, Mrs. Sanderson. I’m here to see Nathan. He was with my wife. She had also been injured. I heard he’s still in a coma. I wanted to check up on him. I’m quite worried,” Jonathan calmly answered. “I’ve heard that Mrs. Walker had woken up. But Nathan… He is so badly hurt. I don’t think he’d be able to wake up anytime soon. It’s very upsetting.” There was a somber feeling to the tone of Mrs. Sanderson’s voice. “Mr. Walker, who is she?” the young man in the room asked as his eyes fixated on Gabrielle. “Denton, this is Gabrielle. She’s Mellissa’s student. Your brother is also her good friend,” Jonathan introduced.

“Gabrielle, this is Mrs. Sanderson, Nathan’s mother. This is Denton…” “Hello, beautiful. I’m Denton. I am Nathan’s younger brother and the fifth son of the Sanderson Family. It’s a pleasure meeting you.” Denton closed the distance between the two of them. He reached his hand out to her for a hand shake. However, the frivolous look on his face made Gabrielle want to refuse his hand shake. ‘Isn’t there a single, normal man in the Sanderson Family? And how many sons do they have? Why do I get the feeling that they have a dozen children, just like in the ancient times?’ “Hi, Denton. I’m Nathan’s friend.

I’m here to pay him a visit,” Gabrielle replied. However, she still didn’t reach out to welcome his hand shake. Denton was not a fool. He figured out that Gabrielle did not want to shake his hand. He was not one to deliberately make things difficult for a woman. Despite that, he was determined to make Gabrielle take the initiative to shake hands with him in the future. “My brother must be one lucky guy to have met such a gorgeous friend in Bangkok. If I had known that, I would’ve come here sooner so I could beat my brother to it.” A malicious smile lifted the corners of Denton’s lips. The sight of it made Gabrielle’s heart sink.
