Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 364

Gabrielle's excitement faded when she saw a cute girl running out.

"Little Daddy!" she squealed with delight.

The little girl was adorable. Gabrielle loved kids, so she couldn't help but admire her.

She felt the parents were blessed to have such a lovely child.

The famous saying 'A daughter is her father's lover from his past life' popped up in Gabrielle's mind. She deemed the father of the little girl lucky to have such an adorable daughter.

'What if Westley and I had a daughter? I'm sure she would be adorable too,' she mused.

Since Westley was a handsome hunk, his daughter would undoubtedly look stunning.

Gabrielle snapped out of her thoughts, wondering why she was imagining too much. After all, she and Westley had just admitted their feelings for each other, and she was dreaming of having kids with him now.

Just then, she saw the little girl jump into a man's arms. Gabrielle's eyes widened in horror, and her jaw dropped in shock when she realized that it was Westley.

"Little Daddy, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?" The girl threw her arms around Westley's neck and hugged him tightly.

Gabrielle was standing far away from them, so she only heard the girl calling Westley 'little Daddy' but couldn't catch his response.

Westley lifted the little girl and smiled at her tenderly.

Upon witnessing their interaction, Gabrielle understood they weren't seeing each other for the first time.

It looked like Westley adored the child.

Just as Westley turned around, Gabrielle involuntarily hid behind the pillar, which caught Melissa and Jackson's attention.

They stared at Gabrielle, wondering what had happened to her. She seemed normal a few minutes ago but was panicking now as if she had seen her worst enemy.

"Are you alright, Gabrielle?" Melissa asked concernedly.

Gabrielle shook her head. "I'm fine."

Then, she turned to look at Westley and saw the child fondly kissing his face.

And Westley was doting on her. This was the first time Gabrielle saw him interact with a child.

'Is she his daughter?'

Gabrielle couldn't fathom where the idea came from. But the longer she looked at Westley, the stronger her doubts became. She couldn't shake the feelings building inside her. They looked like father and daughter.

'Does Westley have a secret family? Is the girl his illegitimate child?'

Gabrielle secretly peeped out of the pillar and watched everything from afar. Just then, a tall, gorgeous woman walked toward Westley. She had blonde hair and milky skin, looking like a model who had walked out of a photoshoot. Gabrielle couldn't help but wonder if she was the mother of the girl.

As expected, the woman stood in front of Westley and greeted him with a warm smile. She reached out to pick the girl, but the kid refused to let go of Westley. Gabrielle's heart broke when she saw him smiling at her.

At that moment, she realized it was a sweet family reunion.

All the people around didn't seem to fit in.

"You know them?" Jackson leaned closer and asked calmly as he ca

ught Gabrielle staring at the three people.

"No, I don't." Once Westley left, Gabrielle slowly stepped out of her hiding spot and stood beside Jackson with her head lowered, fearing that Westley might see her.

Seeing the man disappear out of her sight, she blew out a loud breath. 'Why was I hiding when he was the one who made a mistake?'

"Are you sure?" Jackson asked, examining her face. After all, Gabrielle had been acting strange ever since she saw them.

'If I'm not mistaken, the man is Westley. The CEO of Morris Group. Does Gabrielle really know him?''

"Good. It's time to leave." Melissa never expected she'd like Gabrielle so much right in their first meeting. There was an instant connection, and she wanted to spend more time with her.

"Come on, Ms. Glyn. Let's go!"

Gabrielle forced a smile.

Jackson had booked a restaurant for Melissa near her hotel, thinking she could rest right after having lunch.

Just as they arrived at the restaurant, Gabrielle's phone turned off because her battery had died. For a moment, she was worried that Westley might freak out if he couldn't contact her. But soon, the image of Westley with the woman and the little girl flashed in her mind. Her concern and worry for the man disappeared in an instant.

"Gabrielle, is something wrong?" Melissa noticed that Gabrielle looked upset, and she was a little concerned about her.

"Nothing, Ms. Glyn." Gabrielle shook her head, forcing a smile.

"If you have something important to do, go ahead with it. We can catch up another time." Melissa's voice was soft and tender.

"Don't worry about it, Ms. Glyn. It's nothing. Why don't we get started? I would like to propose a toast to you." Gabrielle lifted her wine glass and smiled.

"Okay, Gabrielle." Melissa clinked her glass with hers and drank the wine.

Gabrielle found it difficult to drink after the hangover. Her head began to throb, and she soon became dizzy.

"Are you feeling alright, Gabrielle?" Melissa was worried at the sight of Gabrielle's flushed face.

"I'm okay, Ms. Glyn. I don't mind having another drink because I'm so happy. I finally met my idol today." Gabrielle poured another glass of wine.

Although she was thrilled to have drinks with her idol, she was more worried about what she saw at the airport. The way Westley smiled at the woman and the little girl was ingrained in her brain. She couldn't shake off the image. After all, they looked like a perfect family.

'Why did I not have the courage to find out the truth right then and there? What if Westley isn't the father of the girl or the husband of that woman? What if I had misunderstood the whole thing?'

But thinking about it now was pointless because it would only lead to more questions. After all, she didn't know anything about it.

"I don't think you can drink anymore, Gabrielle. Let's just eat something, shall we?" Melissa put some food on her plate. She was impressed at how excited Gabrielle was to see her but was equally worried at how she was drinking even though she couldn't.
