To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1074 The Child Can't Be Mine

Having grown up together with Jenny, Gilbert knew her very well. There was no way she would tell him to be responsible for Marigold just because he slept with her once.

Gilbert looked at her, waiting for her to speak. Under his stare, Jenny felt frustrated. Of course, she couldn't ask Gilbert to take responsibility just because they slept together, especially since Marigold had taken advantage of Gilbert. In the end, she sighed and said, "I met Marigold at the hospital today."

Gilbert frowned, failing to understand why Jenny was telling him that. He didn't care at all about Marigold.

"She came to see me because she had a headache. I suggested she have a CT scan of her brain, but..." Jenny stopped and looked at Gilbert.

Gilbert was still completely puzzled, but he was increasingly upset with Marigold. He had warned her not to tell anyone about what had happened in the past, so he didn't expect her to go to Jenny.

In Gilbert's opinion, Marigold faked her headache to visit Jenny. She probably only wanted to tell Jenny about what had happened in the past, which was why Jenny was at Gilbert's place that night. However, Gilbert soon realized that he was wrong.

"But Marigold refused. Do you know why, Gilbert?" Jenny asked.

Gilbert shook his head. "I'm not interested in her affairs."

"Because she's pregnant. A CT scan of the brain could have an impact on the child, and she doesn't want to take that risk." Jenny thought that no matter Marigold's character, she would be a good mother. The news that Marigold was pregnant shocked Gilbert for a while, but that was it. He quickly regained his composure and said, "Oh? Is that so? Okay, she's pregnant, but what does it have to do with me? I don't care."

He wondered if Jenny thought he liked Marigold but decided it couldn't be possible as he absolutely hated that woman.

Jenny sighed. It seemed that Gilbert had never thought that the child might be his. Hence, she had to say it herself. "Given the timeline of Marigold's conception, that child is likely to be yours."

As soon as she said that, Gilbert's face changed drastically. He denied it directly without even giving it a thought. "Impossible!"

They only did it once. How could the child be his?

"I know you can't accept it. When I first found out, I couldn't accept it either. But after investigating, the child likely is yours," Jenny informed.

Before visiting Gilbert, she had investigated everyone Marigold had contacted after returning to the country. As Paul said, no other man was in Marigold's life besides Gilbert. Given the conception date, the child was most likely his.

Unfortunately, Gilbert still didn't believe her. "Impossible! This must be one of her plots!"

Nobody knew if Marigold had gotten intimate with another man after that night to get a conception date close to the time she had slept with Gilbert.

"Gilbert, whether the child is yours or not, you can do a paternity test after the child is born. What you need to decide now is, if the child is yours, what are you going to do?"
