Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 87

Gabrielle was aware of Half Moon Bay and the lavish lifestyles of the people who stayed there. It was one of the most affluent and expensive districts to live in. Half Moon Bay boasted breathtaking villas and luxurious mansions with landscaped gardens. The residents who lived here were filthy rich and powerful. An average middle-class family would never be able to afford a house in this high-end district. That was why Gabrielle thought that it was a waste of money and a shame to see such a beautiful house sitting idle. She noticed that the insides were tastefully decorated too. She thought Westley was crazy not to live here.

"This house was purchased by Mr. Morris five years ago. No one has lived here since it was decorated. That's all the information that I can provide, so please do not put me in an uncomfortable position, Miss Jones," Sophie explained calmly and truthfully.

The house was purchased and decorated five years ago. But why did no one live there? Why did Westley spend so much money on the house if he had no plans to stay there? What happened? What was the reason behind letting this beautiful house go to waste? Gabrielle has several unanswered questions going around in her mind.

But Sophie was not in the position to answer any of her questions. She had already made her intentions known to Gabrielle about that.

She realized that she would come to know more about the situation in the future, since she was going to be staying there for now. Also, she didn't want to put Sophie in an awkward position. There was also the possibility that they would start to dislike her if she continued to ask questions.

Anyway, since being curious was what had gotten the cat killed, Gabrielle decided not to dwell on it for now.

"Don't worry, Sophie, I shall not ask any more questions,"

Gabrielle replied honestly.

She was well aware of how it felt when someone invaded your privacy and not everyone would like their private and personal life to be exposed in public. No one would like to be treated as a laughing stock.

"Miss Jones, please do not make Mr. Morris angry. This is for your own good. Now, that I have applied the medicine, I'll go and prepare lunch. I would suggest you rest for a while. Your clothes are in this bag here. You can go ahead and change your clothes." Sophie placed the tube of ointment on the table and left.

Don't make Westley angry?!

She had completely and fully infuriated Westley. What could she do to rectify that?

Gabrielle decided not to dwell on it further. She changed her clothes and went downstairs. She was still coming to terms with the beauty of the place. She peeped into the kitchen and saw that Sophie was busy preparing lunch. So as to not disturb her, Gabrielle turned and quietly walked out of the house, alone.

Gabrielle gasped when she saw that the yard was full of waist-high weeds. It once must have been a beautiful garden, but now the weeds were choking the plants and shrubs. Now looking carefully at the house from outside, the house looked forlorn, sad, and scary. She felt as if she was thrust into an abandoned and ruined villa among the weeds.
