Chapter 68 It‘s A Long Story

The room was too suffocating to breathe in so she went out alone to get some fresh ale. Gabrielle didn’t want to bother her friends for some last minute reunion. Instead, she drove out aimlessly on the road, following no path in mind. She just needed some space.

If only her best friend, Sloane, was her normal and healthy self, Gabrielle would definitely pick her up from any corner of the city and have a girl’s night out. She could have taken her out to have a barbecue and some drinks in the nearest hotspot in town. That would have definitely brightened up Gabrielle’s mood. Just imagining it made her grin mischievously.

Nothing she could do with Sloane still in a coma, lying in a hospital bed. Even if she was unable to go out for a drink, the urge to confide in someone was burning her throat as if she drank some cleaning detergent. Going to Austin was the first thing she could think of but realization hit her.

The thought of Westley’s cold face towards Austin made a chill rise from the bottom of her heart. “Forget it!’ She didn’t want to call anyone tonight. “I’ll just drive around by myself, I’m sure I’ll feel better somehow.’ She shook her head thinking of all the bad things

She drove alone around the block to dispel her gloomy mood. Later on, she heard her stomach giowling as she recalled that she hadn’t eaten anything she thought, ‘l belter eat something or I will be in big trouble.’

She made her way to the nearest restaurant an al fresco surrounded by bright-colored flowers and a lingering aroma. The ambience gave her peace and comfort, like a friend by her side. Soon after, the sun was going down, and colorful lights lit up the dark sky. A great place where couples, or good friends, could have a candle-lit dinner or a simple chat.

‘I would definitely bring Sloane here one day. She would love such a romantic place!’ By the corner across a beautiful scenery, she sat down and ordered some food just to fill her empty belly. While waiting the beauty encapsulated her in a wonderland, like her worries were all gone.

“Pretty girl, mind if I take the seat? A chuckling voice, meant to tease, came from above. The voice was familiar, “Could it be?” Gabrielle slowly raised her head, avoiding the broken expectation, to see Mia smiling in front of her

“It’s really you, Gabrielle! I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. “But… why are you wearing a hat now, in the middle of the night?

Ignoring the fact that Gahnelle hadn’t invited her to join, Mia gracefully sat down in front of Gabrielle.

Gabrielle didn’t want to say anything, rather, sted to my anything. Days ago, she had to

We ask and a hat when heading outside but now she could take off her mask. Today. Remy applied some transparent gauze on her face, at least it was not as terrifying as a white gauze.

“What’s wrong with your face?” Mia noticed that there was something wrong with her

The romantic place was just lit by the candles and some dimmed lights. Even if people were less than a meter apart, it would be difficult to clearly see the facial features of another person.

“I… I’m fine.” Gabrielle shook her head to the right, trying conceal to her face from getting revealed

If Mia believed her words that tasily, she would be a big fool. Immediately, Mia stood and walked up to Gabrielle. She forcefully took the hat off, revealing Gabrielle’s face. Mia gasped to her surprise upon seeing the expression on Garielle’s face.

“Goodness! Gabrielle, you… What happened to you? Why did you scratch your face ton hard? I remember seeing you all fair and beautiful in the hospital last time. It wasn’t long ago since, how could

it be like this? What could have happened to you?” The shock on seeing Gabrielle’s face filled Mia’s eyes with worry and concern.

Mia wondered who the heartless being could possibly hurt beautiful Gabrielle. Mia knew, she would never

“Well… I was scratched by a rampaged wildcat.” Gabrielle was clearly bothered by the situation. She didn’t want to talk about it. After all, the past was in the past. Although, those three women were locked up in the police station, she was still disheartened to know that Estelle was not punished.

Gabrielle really wanted to see Estelle suffer in the police station, as she deserved.

“A wild cat, huh? What a cool cat! How sharp were its claws? Now, I am curious to see this cruel wildcat.” Mia sat back on the chair, trying to crack a joke to make her smile a bit.

She knew, it was not a cat. It was impossible for an injury like that to be scratched by a mere cat.

Did Gabrielle think she’d be fooled by saying

it was just a wildcat? Pigs would be flying if the claws of a cat was that huge. Never would a scratch as guchi be done by a cat, unless it was an elite cat.

“Miss Robinson, I’m just kidding—” as her chuckles slowly faded away.

“Call me Mia,” Mia butted in.

“Mia, it’s too late for dinner, isn’t it? Why come out this late to eat?” She started to talk about dinner, aiming to change the topic away from the heat

*Well… I’m here to eat because I was hungry I tend to miss the right time to eat if I am away from home, so my brother nags at me to eat on proper meal times. How about you, Gabrielle? This

restaurant is a bit out of your usual way home.” Mia, expecting a reply from Gabrielle, had her face filled with curiosity and doubt.

“I just happen to pass by this new beautiful place. Just in time, my stomach was growling, so I came to check the place out,” she explained.

The waiter brought in the food Gabrielle ordered. Mia was shocked to see too little food, so she ordered some more to eat. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

When the food was completely served on the table, Gabrielle was surprised by the amount

Mis ordered. How could two people finish all of it? Anyone could figure out that the set: Was made for four mouths, not for two.

“I don’t think we can finish all these, Mia,” she said in concem.

“Nah, I have a big appitie. Even if I am thin. I eat a lot without gaining a pound. Also, if we cannot finish it together, I can always call my brother to help us out. His company building is not far from here.” Mia’s mind was filled with boggling thoughts. I

Gabrielle looked at Mia with admiration and envy. She would do anything to have what Mia had, to not gain weight even after eating 1 mountain of food platters.

“Oh, I almost forgot to ask! How was the dinner date with my brother last tirne? I chose that restaurant just for that special day. Among tens of millions, I thought of it as the best. It’s great, don’t you think?” She looked at Gabrielle with eyes filled with affirmation from her.

That day was horrible Gabrielle did not feel great at all

Wondering of what Westley had done that night made Gabrielle’s blood boil with anger, as if a molten rock was placed in some water.

Fortunately, Gabrielle was crystal clear to

Micheal There wauld have never been something intimate between them. It was just right for a matnnd woman, like her, to Stay away from seducing a man like him.

“Gabrielle are you alright? Why are you so silent? Did my brother say anything bad to you?” Mia was starting to get worried as the silence between her and Gabrielle grEW longer and longer.

Since Micheal came home that day, he was just as silent as Gabrielle. No matter what Mia asked him of what had happened, he was like a statue that did not say a word. Mia was distressed, but also emotionally exchausted.

Surely, he was a person of privacy. He kept in low profile but actually had a whole complete person that no one had ever seen. Given that he just met a woman that night, he might had some difficulty or some dilemma that he couldn’t handle by himself. Perhaps. it would be best to give him some time to

Mia left the issue untouched, she didn’t want to cause more troubles for Micheal. She still needed to know what happened. Now that she saw Gabrielle in front of her, this was her chance to find out. She needed to know what transpired that night,

“Not at all! Mr. Robinson is a real gentleman

I could say, at first hand, that he is gentle and polite.” There was no Fault ini Gabrielle’s words. Ever since, Micheal was always a polite man with great etiquette And demeaner. It was almost a guarantee for any girl to fall in love with such a man.

It was just a pity that Gabrielle did not fall for him that easily.
