Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 67
Westley hadn't been back for two days. This made Gabrielle uneasy, who resorted to pacing around the house, going upstairs and downstairs to no avail.
Gabrielle drank a cup of water in the living room as she stared blankly at the lawn in the yard from the window. Upon hearing a car enter the driveway, she ran out eagerly.
A silver car was driving in, but the person who emerged from the vehicle was not Westley—it was Remy.
When Gabrielle noticed him, she felt a small surge of disappointment as her bright eyes faltered slightly, but that was immediately replaced by a smile.
"Remy! Nice to see you here." Gabrielle greeted him.
Remy had noticed the flash of disappointment in Gabrielle's eyes.
He figured he had shown up at an awkward time, or maybe he wasn't the person Gabrielle had been hoping to find in her driveway.
It was plausible to think that Gabrielle was waiting for Westley, but instead saw Remy, which would've upset her.
"Yes, nice to see you, too. I'm actually here to change your dressing into a fresh one for your wounds. Remember I told you that I'll be changing the dressings every three days? Well, if I'm right, three days have passed, so here I am at Vineyard Villa But... is everything okay? You don't seem too happy to see me," Remy teased Gabrielle.
Gabrielle shook her head immediately. "No, are you kidding me? How can I not be happy to see you? I just hadn't expected three days to go by so fast—time sure is flying."
Without probing the topic further and voicing his suspicions, Remy turned around and took out the medicine cabinet from his car trunk.
"Gabrielle, let's go in. I'll just pretend you warmly welcomed me in your driveway because that would make me happier." Remy was only half-joking.
Gabrielle was amused by Remy's humor. "Remy, welcome to Vineyard Villa.
