Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 408

Lolita was grateful to Gabrielle for changing the topic and helping her out. At first, she was worried that Gabrielle would be mad at her for not revealing the truth about her family.

“Kendal and I are close. He has spoiled me ever since we were kids.” Lolita’s eyes were gleaming with happiness.

Gabrielle envied her for having such a happy childhood.

“I’m jealous of you.” She smiled.

Gabrielle also had a brother, but he always avoided her as if she were a plague.

The mere thought of it made her upset.

“Gabrielle, I’m really sorry. I should have told you about…”

“Don’t worry about it, Lolita. You don’t have to apologize to me. Everyone has secrets. Moreover, we are friends. Friends don’t care each other’s family background that much, do they?” Gabrielle felt bad when she saw Lolita’s sorry face.

She didn’t think it was a big deal.

Moreover, she, too, had been hiding a secret from Lolita. Only a few people knew about her marriage with Westley. Gabrielle didn’t tell her friend yet.

“Yes, we are friends. I came here without informing my family, so I didn’t tell you. I just want to achieve something on my own here.” Hearing Gabrielle’s words, Lolita breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been worried that Gabrielle would be mad at her.

However, she was glad that she understood her.

She grew fond of Gabrielle and felt that she would make a wonderful friend.

“Lolita, I’m sure you can do it.” Gabrielle smiled encouragingly.

She wasn’t only encouraging Lolita, but herself as well.

Gabrielle wanted to work hard to make herself worthy of Westley.

After all, Westley was an excellent man. She wanted to improve herself to match him.

“Let’s work hard together. Gabrielle, I’m sure you will do much better than me. You are incredibly talented.” Lolita admired Gabrielle.

She had been in Paris before and attended several jewelry exhibitions. She could tell that Gabrielle’s jewelry-making skills had already surpassed the talent of many professional designers. However, Jason hadn’t given Gabrielle a chance to design her own product. Perhaps he wanted to give her some more time to lay her foundation.

If Gabrielle had the opportunity to design a product, she would undoubtedly become famous.

“Yes. Let’s work hard together.” Gabrielle nodded in agreement.

She was happy to have Lolita as her friend.

She had been luckier than many people along the way. She was the daughter of the Jones family. Later, she met Sloane, the Robinsons, the Fosters, and now, Lolita.

“Wow, it’s so beautiful here, isn’t it? It’s Christmas in two days. Do you have any plans?”

Lolita changed the topic.

A smile stretched across Gabrielle’s lips as she looked at the Christmas decorations in the hall.

The bright lights and Christmas trees evoked the holiday mood.

Everyone was looking forward to having fun with their families.

However, Christmas reminded Gabrielle that Westley’s birthday was around the corner.

She had planned to bake Westley’s birthday cake. Therefore,

she had to go to the bakery to buy everything in advance. Gabrielle hoped and prayed that he would like it.

“Christmas? I haven’t planned anything yet. But I will surely be spending the day with my family.” Gabrielle wanted to celebrate it with Westley. After all, it was their first Christmas together, and it meant a lot.

The mere thought of it excited her.

“Well, I thought of asking you to hang out with me.” Looking at the smile on Gabrielle’s face, Lolita sensed that she was happy about Christmas.

Gabrielle was a native of Antawood; her family lived right here. Therefore, she would spend time with her family.

However, Lolita missed her family. She hadn’t gone to her home in Ensfield for almost six months after she came here.

It was almost New Year. Perhaps it was time for her to go home.

“Lolita, would you like to go home and visit your family? You can celebrate Christmas with them,” Gabrielle suggested.

Lolita bit her lip hesitantly. “I have to think about it.”

“Here comes your milk tea. What are you two talking about?” Kendal smiled and walked over to them, holding two cups of tea, garnering the attention of all the girls along the way.

“Nothing. What took you so long? I don’t even feel cold anymore,” Lolita complained even though she took a big sip.

Kendal knocked on her forehead. He had waited in line just to buy her tea but couldn’t believe Lolita was complaining about it.

“I waited there for a long time for you, but you are whining here without appreciating the gesture.” Kendal rolled his eyes at her.

“Okay, okay. Thank you, Kendal. But stop knocking me on the head! It will affect my brain,” Lolita grunted unhappily.

“I wouldn’t have done that if you weren’t so ungrateful,” Kendal retorted.

Lolita grinned at him. Just then, the manager walked over to them.

“Mr. Shaw, the room is ready.”

The manager handed a room card to Kendal.

“All right. Let’s go to the room.” He glanced at Gabrielle and Lolita.

“Kendal, we are here for the exchange meeting. We don’t need a room.” Lolita was confused. Kendal was always like this, she could never figure out what he wanted to do.

“I know about this exchange meeting. It’s about jewelry design, right? But look at yourselves. No one will allow you to even enter the hall if you go there in the clothes you are wearing. I will be embarrassed

to see my sister wear this to such a grand event.” With that, Kendal turned around and went to the elevator, ignoring Lolita.

“Gabrielle, don’t mind Kendal. He is always like this.” Lolita smiled at Gabrielle, her face flushing with embarrassment.

However, Gabrielle didn’t seem to mind it. She felt that Kendal was right. “Your brother was right. We shouldn’t wear these to the meeting.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“But…”

“We should have been serious. After all, it is a formal event.” Gabrielle wasn’t serious about it before.

They had given a chance for Vivian to humiliate them.

“Let’s go. Don’t make him wait for too long.” Then, the two walked into the elevator together.
