Lance finally found Gabrielle sitting all alone. The sad expression on her face made him feel sorry for her.

“Gabrielle, I’ve brought you your favorite orange juice. Why are you sitting here alone? Grandpa wants you to go back.” Lance sat down beside her.

“I just need a bit of air. Thanks for the drink.” Gabrielle smiled ruefully, staring at her grandfather’s direction.

There were a lot of people around the old man. Surely, it wouldn’t matter if she went or not. Besides, she planned on leaving to find Westley outside.

“You’re welcome.” Lance stared at her face for some time. Gabrielle was starting to feel conscious.

“Lance, Westley isn’t bad as you think. Besides, we’re both adults. I don’t need him to be responsible for me. I can think for myself.” Gabrielle defended Westley.

“Do you know the relationship between that Michelle and him? You’re too naive when it comes to Westley.” Lance looked at her with concern.

“I don’t want to know.” Gabrielle looked

It was not like Westley to just bring someone with him. Something was definitely up.

Everyone could see that they were close, perhaps closer than Gabrielle thought. After all, Michelle was recognized by the Morris family. That very fact made

Gabrielle feel uncomfortable.

So why would she ask a question that she knew the answer to?

Only Westley can explain himself. Gabrielle was thinking of asking him later.

“Michelle admitted that Westley has been sponsoring her for the last tyn years. Don’t you think there’s something fishy going on, Gabrielle? Open youčyes, he’s a jerk. Don’t fall in love with him.

Unrequited love is the worst feeling ever. Gabrielle did answer. Love wasn’t something th«t could be controlled, and she had already fallen in love without realizing it.

It was too late to pretend that nothing had happened. It was too late for her to erase her feelings.

“Lance, I know. Don’t womy. I won’t fall in love with him. I know my boundaries in this marriage.” Gabrielle put down the glass of juice and stood up,

About ten minutes had passed, but she was in no rush to see Westley.

Gabrielle didn’t say anything, but someone approached Lance for a chat.

“Sorry Gabrielle, I’ll catch you later,” Lance said

“Go ahead.” Gabrielle nodded, noncommittally. She didn’t want Lance to pursue her anymore. “Okay, I’ll go ahead. Catch you later.”

Lance waved, taking a step back.

After Lance left, Gabrielle was relieved. Then she turned around and walked towards the back gate.

Gabrielle glanced at once. Instead of answering the calche quickly walked straight ahead. O

When the one rang for the second time, Gabrielle had already reached the street. A taxi passed by and she hailed it.

“Where are you going, miss?”

“The Lover Embankment, please.”

The Lover Embankment was a famous dating spot in Antawood. It used to be a deserted space, but because of the unique scenery, couples started meeting and spending their time together there. Eventually they changed the name to

It was a romantic place, but Gabrielle only wanted to get some fresh air.
