Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 46 I Donât Want To Find My Natural Parents Children who grew up without parents are usually because of two reasons. Either the parents died in a horrific accident, Or they abandoned their child at a young age. Gabrielle was the latter. Despite this, Sloane still wanted to let them know that their daughter was all grown up and living a wonderful life.
âGabrielle, have you ever thought about looking for your actual parents? Were you ever curious about what they looked like?
Sloane asked out of the blue.
It wasnât the first time that Gabrielle was asked such a question. After all, it was well known that she was the adopted daughter of the Jones.
Being abandoned in an orphanage, Gabrielle often thought about what truly happened to her parents.
If they were already dead, it was a straightforward thing to accept it. But if they were still alive, it was natural for someone like her to want to know what they were like.
âNo, I donât want to look for them. I donât think that thereâs any need to figure out what theyâre like. Also, if theyâre still alive to this day, they probably wouldnât want to face me after being away for so long. I donât want to 10 through so much trouble just to cause problems for everyone involved.â Gabrielle calmly replied. A hint of Sorrow could be seen in her eyes.
If her parents were still out there somewhere, Gabrielle felt that she didnât need to look for them anymore. Additionally, she knew it was more troublesome to track down her real parents than to deal with Tobias and Wendy.
Even though Tobias and Wendy had done some questionable things in the past, they did a good job raising Gabrielle as their adopted daughterâ.
The coupleâs kindness and generosity bore fruit to a wonderful woman.
Something like that definitely deserves a lifetime of gratitude âIâm sorry, Gabrielle. I didnât mean to make you feel uncomfortable.â Sloane quickly apologized when she noticed Gabrielleâs gloomy expression. It wasnât her intention to bring up such sad memories for her friend. She was just curious.
Looking for parents who abandoned their child was a task full of uncertainty. That was why Gabrielle had made up her mind not to look for them. There was a big chance that meeting them would end badly. The act of leaving someone at such a young age made it clear that her parents had no intention of having a daughter.
âYou donât have to apologize. Why would I feel sad? Iâve already accepted the fact that my real parents didnât want me. Thereâs no use trying to understand their actions. Especially when I havenât even met them at all,â Gabrielle said while trying her best to calm down. Even if she denied feeling down, she knew how miserable she looked at that moment.
âAlright, I wonât talk about it anymore. By the way, do you have any plans for later tonight? Iâll go out in a bit to look for Benny. Do you want to come with me? Go back to the Vineyard Villa? Or stay here?â Sloane quickly changed the topic.
Benny asked Sloane to meet him at half past five. Having known the man for so long, she knew that if she arrived late, even by a little, Benny would have a fit of rage.
âI canât go with you. I have something to do later. Why does Benny want to see you? Did he give you a reason?â Gabrielle asked.
âHe didnât. He just told me to meet him at the company at 5:30. One time, he got so drunk that I had to clean up his mess. When he sobered up, he still found a reason to be mad at me. Thatâs just how he is. Iâmn used to it.â Sloane answered with a sorrowful look on her face.
No matter how bad it was, Sloane wasnât the type of person who would complain.
âIf you canât take it anymore, leave him, Sloane.â Gabrielle couldnât bear to be in the same room as Benny. After all, he would always treat Sloane poorly. One would think that after living under the same roof for ten years, the siblings would learn how to treat each other better. However, Benny was still as rude as ever to his sister.
âIf I ignore him, heâll come to find me and cause trouble. Donât fret. Iâın used to being bullied. I can handle it.â Sloane reassured Gabrielle that there was nothing to worry about 4 Hearing this, Gabrielle gave in and tried to stop looking so concerned.
Around half past five, Gabrielle arrived in front of the Beautiful Encounter Restaurant, Although their dinner reservation was at six oâclock, Gabrielle left with Sloane, so she arrived a bit early.
But since she was there to show her gratitude, she didnât mind waiting for him at all.
When she walked inside the restaurant, she noticed that there were a lot of couples there. Some held each otherâs hands on the table, Others would act lovey duvey while eating But the most eye-catching of them all was the couple who paid to attention to their food and just longingly stared into each otherâs eyes.
At that moment, Gabrielle couldnât help but think if she was in the wrong restaurant.
âGood evening. Miss. Do you have a reservation?â a waiter politely asked.
âYes, I do. I think itâs under the name, Gabrielle,â she quickly answered, thinking that Mia would reserve the seats under that nalnie.
âAhh, yes. You have a reservation for two at six oâclock. Please, follow me to your table.â The waiter led her inside.
The closer they got to the table, the more confused Gabrielle became. It was like the restaurant was made purely for couples.
There wasnât a single table where it was just friends or a family celebrating something âHere we are, Miss Jones. Would you like to order now or later?â
âIâll order my food in a little bit. For now, Iâll just have a cup of ice coffee, please. By the way. Iâm just curious, is this restaurant specifically for couples?â Gabrielle couldnât resist asking after what she saw.
âNo, we do not cater to couples only. But because of the restaurantâs name, they always come here for dinner. On any given night, about 70% of our customers are lovebirds.â
She Hearing the waiterâs explanation. couldnât help but feel a little anxious.
Would Micheal misunderstand her intentions if he saw what this place was like?
Since Mia was the one who chose their meeting place, it was hard not to think that she did it on purpose. 3 Because of that, Gabrielle took out her phone and sent a text to Mia. âMiss Robinson, Iâm at the restaurant right now. Did you make a mistake with the reservation?â
Mia replied in less than a minute. âI donât believe so, Miss Jones. Their chef is famous for having worked at multiple three-star Michelin restaurants, and their reviews have all been phenomenal. Is there something wrong?â
After reading Miaâs explanation, Gabrielle was left speechless. 1 It seemed that Gabrielle had completely misunderstood the situation. Mia wasnât trying to be a matchmaker. She just wanted them to go and try one of the best restaurants nearby.
A few minutes later, Micheal arrived. When he saw how many couples there were in the restaurant, he couldnât hide his shock.
But because of all the harsh things heâd been through in life, he managed to keep his composure and casually sat in front of Gabrielle :
âMiss Jones. sorry to keep you waiting.â Micheal greeted her politely and confidently.
âNo problem, Mr. Robinson. I just arrived a little earlier than you Would you like to order our food now or drink something first?â
Gabrielle responded courteously. but her eyes were filled with distress. Having dinner in such a restaurant made her feel tense.
To make matters worse, they were surrounded by lovey-dovey couples which could lead to Micheal misunderstanding things.
Feeling a bit hungry, he chose to order right away. He took the menu and started looking through it. While doing so, he asked Gabrielle about her favorite dishes. As a fine gentleman, he knew how important it was to give ladies the freedom to choose whatever they want.
âIâm alright with anything except seafood Tust onder what you want. Iâll not a picky cater.â Gabrielle meckly titswered.
Youâre allergic to sealood?â Micheal asked with a doubtful look on his face,
