Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 128 The Old Lady God could be so biased sometimes. It wasnât fair what he did from time to time.
âHow could God be so partial to someone?â Gabrielle thought deeply.
Just like what God had done to Westley. This man was just too good to be true. He gave him a very good background and upbringing and still gave him a perfect body that someone could die for. God went too far in blessing this man!
With a man as handsome as this, women were constantly mesmerized, even men too could not take their eyes off him when they saw him. His facial features were loved by both men and women, âDo I look handsome?â Westley said in a calm voice as he looked at Gabrielle.
âYeah, you do,â Gabrielle said subconsciously. There was sincerity in her eyes and firmness in her tone.
But after she said that, she immediately realized what she said and regretted that she blurted it out so quickly. Her face flushed and she felt very ashamed of herself. She didnât even want to look him in the face.
âWestley, L... Uh... I just blurted it out. I didnât think about it before I spoke. Itâs not true...â
âNot what? Not very handsome?â he asked as he peered at her face closely. The corners of his mouth curved up a little in a smile. So Gabrielle, who was sitting on the passenger seat, couldnât see him smiling at all.
âYes, you are very handsome...â she muttered quickly.
As soon as she said that, she didnât say anything. By the way, she felt that no matter what she said, she would surely fail in front of him, so she decided to let âIf I talk too much, I will lose. So itâs better not to speak what is on my mind. Let me just agree with him, â she concluded Westley took a quick look at his wife and said nothing. Although the two of them didnât say anything for a while, the atmosphere in the car was very calm and relaxed.
The more she looked out of the window, the more she became familiar with the area.
âIs this not the way to the Isido Mount? Is that where we are going?â she asked him with a hint of doubt and hesitation.
âYou will know when we get there. Just: relax,â he responded to her. Westley didnât have much time to start explaining things to her.
Gabrielle wasnât the kind of person who insisted on getting to the root of a matter. Since he didnât want to talk about it, she might as well forget it.
Soon enough, the car arrived at a farmhouse near the Isido Mount. Although it was built with red bricks and green tiles, it was quite different from all the other farmhouses in the area.
All that she could see was a sea of flowers, in and out of the courtyard, and also in front of the house and outside âWait a minute... Isnât this... Isnât this that nice old ladyâs home?â Gabrielle asked in surprise. She was very familiar with this small farmhouse. In the past, about three or four years ago, when she and Sloane came to the Isido Mount to have fun, there was a heavy downpour and they happened to also miss the last bus that was supposed to go back to the city. The two of them took shelter from the rain at the small bus station. Since the station was so small, it didnât adequately shield them from the rain as they were wet to their pants. At the same time, they saw an old lady who had fallen not too far from them. They helped the old lady get back on her feet and sent her back home. Because of their kind gesture, the old lady took them in for that night.
Miley happened to be the old lady they had helped that night âWhat old lady?â Westley asked as he peered closely at her.
âAn old lady helped me back a few years ago. Do you know her?â She was surprised that her husband knew the lady, and wanted to know how they got to know each other.
Westley stared at her face in wonder. âIs this woman serious about not knowing whose farm is this? Or is she just pretending?â
he pondered seriously.
âWhy are you not saying anything? How did you know her?â she asked him again. When she saw that he didnât say anything.
Gabrielle was more confused. She looked at him with a puzzled expression on her face.
âYouâll know very soon. Donât worry.â Westley replied to her with a mysterious air around him. He didnât know if she would be scared when she found out the truth.
Tâll know very soon? Why is he sounding So mysterious all of a sudden?â she asked herself as she gaped at him in disbelief She looked at him seriously. What was the big deal about answering such a simple question? She didnât even want to know anymore.
âSo how did you both know each other?
Tell me,â Westley asked curiously.
Gabrielle didnât expect that he would ask her such a question.
with a tinge of She looked at him hesitation and doubt.
Since she didnât expect him to ask such a question, she also became a bit curious too.
The beautiful farmhouse in front of them was built by Zaid, Mileyâs husband, when he was very much alive. It was built over ten years ago, for him to enjoy his life with Miley when they became very old.
Later on, he fell ill and passed away, Miley was inconsolable. She would come here to live for several months every year.
Anytime she missed her late husband, she came here to reminisce. She took good care of everything here.
In the yard, she planted and grew all kinds of flowers and vegetables Now that she was much older, they took her back to the Morris Mansion. But Miley still came here to live alone for a few days before going back there.
Sometimes she spent almost half a month alone.
Miley happened to live here these few days and she had asked him to bring Gabrielle down here.
At the beginning. Westley thought that his grandmother had just asked him to come here with his wife because she liked Gabrielle so much. If not, she wouldnât have allowed her to come if she didnât like Gabrielle.
But then, as soon as he arrived at the Isido Mount, he discovered that there were some things that he didnât know about the relationship between Miley and his wife, Gabrielle.
As it were right now, it seemed that not only did he not know, but also Gabrielle herself had forgotten about her. He didnât know if Miley would be very sad and angry at the same time if she knew this âA few years ago, Sloane and I came to the Isido Mount and we stayed here for a night. We stayed in the same house with the old lady. That was how we got to know each other,â
Gabrielle answered honestly.
At that time, the two of them had gotten wet from the heavy downpour and the last bus back to the city had also left.
She didnât dare to call anyone to come and pick them up.
Sloane was quarreling with her half brother, Benny, and the other was an adopted daughter of the Jones family. Even if they died outside, no one would give a hoot about them.
The relationship between Sloane and Benny had been very rough right from time. She was very strong-headed, so she would not want to get involved with Benny on any matter that concerned her, Of course, she wouldnât take the initiative to tell Benny to come and take them back home. But what about Gabrielle?
She had no right to ask the Jones familyâs car to pick her up. She was afraid of being scolded to death by Wendy.
Just when the two of them were discussing whether to call someone from home to pick them up or to call a taxi, an old lady fell by the roadside. Both of them didnât think too much before helping her get back to her feet.
Then they followed the old lady back to her farm to stay for the night before leaving the following morning, That was the house in front of them this minute.
Gabrielle and Sloane knew the lady as an ordinary old woman in the village and they didnât think too much about who she was.
After they had both stayed for a night, in retum, Gabrielle and Sloane, both uprooted the grass in the garden for the lady the very next morning. They did this to show their gratitude to the old lady for sheltering them when they needed it the most.
âIt is obvious that you both are destined to be together,â Westley said lightly with no underlying emotions, That was why Miley had always liked Gabrielle so much since they got married, They had known each other for a long When she heard what he said, she didnât understand what he meant. Before she could ask him to explain, she found out that he had already opened the wooden door of the yard.
The fragrance of the flowers and plants in the yard made everywhere look very beautiful.
There was an old lady cutting flowers in the garden. It was very easy to guess who it was.
That was Miley.
âGranny!â Gabrielle shouted happily as she walked towards her.
When she heard the voice, Miley, who was cutting flowers, turned around and took off her hat in an instant. When Gabrielle saw her face and the way she dressed, she was amazed.
Wait... âIsnât this Miley? What could she be doing here?â she thought.
In front of her, Miley was dressed in a gorgeous brocade. She looked like the I T âU LET Nadam in the Moris Mansion who enjoyed great honor and wealth She was very different from the Teal pleasant granny that she had seen before âMiley? Is this you?â Gabrielle asked as she stared at the old lady in disbelief.
Miley smiled broadly and walked up to Gabrielle. âDonât you know me, Gabrielle?â Miley asked, When Gabrielle heard this, she was at a loss for words. How could she be the same person as the Madam in Mornis Mansion?
She just couldnât wrap her head around it.
This was so horrible to Gabrielle that she couldnât believe what she was seeing right in front of her.
âMiley? You are Miley and also...â she paused and pointed in Westleyâs direction âYes, my dear. I am also Westleyâs grandmother. Iâve known you since the first time that I saw you at your wedding. But I didnât tell anyone about it and I didnât intend to tell them, including you.
I wanted to know when you can remember me,â Miley told her. She looked at Gabrielle with a kind smile which showed that she was very happy that she had finally remembered. u When Miley first saw that Westley was going to marry Gabrielle, she was very happy, but she wouldnât tell them that she had something to do with Gabrielle. She wanted to see if Gabrielle would recognize her eventually.
After all, at that time, Miley was dressed like a farmer, and she was tanned particularly black. She was completely different from the Madam in Moms Mansion who was always dressed in gorgeous clothes.
And so, this was the reason why when Gabrielle saw her at the wedding, she didnât recognize her at all. She didnât expect that the old lady that she and Sloane had helped up that night would be the Madam in Morris Mansion, and no one was going to believe it.
The old lady had waited so long for Gabrielle to remember her to the extent that she got a little impatient.
It was for this reason that she had asked Westley to bring her directly to the countryside. She knew that in this way. Gabrielle would remember her much quicker. 1 âOh, Miley. You... You have always remembered me and you recognized me at the first sight during the wedding. But why didnât you tell me then?â Gabrielle felt embarrassed and ashamed of herself that she didnât recognize Miley easily.
Miley had remembered her and could recognize her at once, but she didnât.
Gabrielle felt so sorry for her.
âGabrielle, do you remember what I said to you before? Fate can make two people see each other again, no matter what happens, just like you and me. People who are destined to separate, no matter how long they wait, will still be apart,â Miley said to her seriously. Her words had an underlying meaning and Gabrielle knew it.
Gabrielle was also a smart person, so she certainly heard something. She was saying that she and Gabrielle were bound to meet while Bryce was the person that wouldnât be with her no matter how much she tried.
