Lock You In My Heart



Chapter 785 Calm Before Storm

Well, Gabrielle wasn't a fool, nor anyone who was present here.

Therefore, they all knew that Cowan was defending for the reputation of his family so that they wouldn't blame him. As long as they knew what Cowan was doing, they would be fine.

In a calm voice, Cowan said, "Of course, I won't let you down. This will be a memorable trip that you will never forget."

In fact, he was secretly implying something. This trip would definitely be a trip that Westley, Gabrielle and the others wouldn't forget. However, he didn't say whether it would be a good trip or not. After all, the things that would happen after they entered

the woods weren't his business at all.

As if he couldn't wait to go hunting, Alexis said with a smile, "We are really looking forward to it. Thank you, Mr. Schmidt, this trip is going to be a special one."

"Well, let's have lunch first. After that, we'll take a rest and then set off." Seeing the expectant looks on their faces, Cowan was

satisfied. a

Actually, this was exactly what he wanted. The more expectant they were about the trip, the more hurtful they would feel when they found out about his real plan.

When they finished having lunch, they went back to their rooms that Cowan had prepared for them.

Since they would be in the woods for three days and four nights or maybe even longer, they needed a room to rest.

Cowan was surprised to see that everyone retumed back to the living room once they finished checking their rooms. With wide eyes, Cowan asked, "Aren't you guys going to take a rest in your rooms first?"

Alexis took a look at his watch before saying, "We have plenty of time to take a rest in the evening. It's already one o'clock. So, when are we going to set out, Mr. Schmidt?";

Looking at them, Cowan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Actually, we will set out at two o'clock. You guys know how to use shotguns, nght?"

"Of course." In fact, Cowan didn't need to worry about that at all as it wasn't their first time to hunt in winter. Therefore, all of them were very proficient in using shotguns. 00

Looking at Cowan with a grim smile, Alexis said, "But Mr. Schmidt, it usually gets dark soon in winter, maybe before six. If we set out only at two o'clock, don't you think it's easy to get lost in the woods when the night falls?"

Hearing his words, Cowan was stunned for a moment before he composed himself and smiled.

Showing them the temporary camp locations on his tablet, Cowan said calmly, "Yes, Mr. Williams. That's exactly what I wanted to tell you next. As you know, this is just a temporary camp site in the snow forest. So, if you get separated from the group or run into some kind of accident, you can go to the nearest camp. You don't have to worry about danger because we have supplies there." :

Nodding his head, Alexis requested, "Well, it seems that it's safe here. Can you please send the map to us later, Mr. Schmidt?" Looking each and every one of them, Cowan reminded, "Sure, I will send you the map of the whole forest later. Once we enter the woods, please be careful and stay close so that you won't get lost."

In a calm voice, Alexis said, "Of course." Even though he didn't like Cowan, he had been looking forward to this winter hunting.

In fact, he might be the second most exciting person here beside Gabrielle.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's just go right now. Why bother waiting till two o'clock, Mr. Schmidt?" Of course, Alexis

couldn't wait to go hunting.

Looking at them, Cowan asked, "So, do you all want to set out earlier too?"

Nodding their heads, everyone agreed, "Yes, let's set out now."

Since everyone was agreeing, Cowan had no choice but to agree. "Okay, let's get ready and set off then."

After asking the workers to bring them the shotguns, they were given an outdoor backpack which contained the supplies that they

needed.

Looking at everyone, Cowan said, "Everyone, take your things and let's go."

With a wide grin on his face, Alexis said excitedly, "Finally, let's go hunting! I am going to be the best hunter!"

When they got out, they were met with the sight of ten motorcycles which were accompanied by several workers.

Since two people could ride the motorcycle, Cowan took Abigail, Westley took Gabrielle, Jonas took Joseph and Alexis rode alone.

In a serious voice, Westley reminded Gabrielle, "Hold me tightly and don't let go, Gabrielle. Although it doesn't hurt much in the: Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

snow, it's easy to fall down. So, be careful, okay?"

Nodding her head, Gabrielle promised, "I know. 1 won't let go."

However, Westley reminded again, "Just hold me tight, okay?"

Gabrielle held Westley's waist with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other as if she was riding a horse and shouted excitedly, "Let's go hunting now!"

Starting the motorcycle, Cowan reminded, "So, let's get ready to go. Follow me closely so that you don't get lost. When we get

deep inside the woods, we can hunt separately."

When Cowan started the motorcycle, the snow beside him splashed as if he did it on purpose. Then, he was gone within seconds. At that time, Alexis shouted in excitement, "Let's go, Westley."

Pulling on his snow goggles, Westley started the motorcycle and drove ahead as Gabrielle held him tightly.

In fact, Westley was good at driving any kind of vehicles.

In an instant, Gabrielle wrapped her arms around his waist and shouted, "Snow forest, here we come!"

Beside them was Alexis who drove alone excitedly. Suddenly, he stood up from the motorcycle and shouted at Gabrielle, "Isn't this exciting? Aren't you happy, Gabrielle?"

Even though Gabrielle wanted to

stand

pand have a try like him, she didn't dare to do so. After all, this was her first time riding

on a motorcycle in the snow field. Besides, Westley was driving very fast so she didn't have the guts to do so.

In an excited voice, Gabrielle screamed, "Yes!"

Hearing it, Alexis shouted at Westley, "Westley, can't you see that Gabrielle is very happy? You have to speed up!" When Westley heard his words, he asked Gabrielle loudly, "Do you want me to drive faster, Gabrielle?"

After hearing what Alexis just said,

GP was even more excet

she shouted, "We

faster than this? Yes,

of course! Let's race Alexis!"

"Okay then. I'll speed up. Hold on tight and don't let go. Also, don't stand up okay? I don't want you to fall down, honey." After

reminding Gabrielle again, Westley sped up.
