To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1077 Nobody Likes A Schemer

When she returned to Evan's place, she found him waiting for her, which made her a little embarrassed. "Evan, you haven't slept yet?"

"No, I was waiting for you." Evan smiled at her softly. His gentle gaze was so welcoming that Jenny wondered if she would have fallen for him again if she hadn't met Alec before Evan came back.

After all, he was the one she had liked when she was young, and although it seemed a bit ridiculous looking back, she still had a teeny bit of feelings left for him. Unfortunately, it would never happen because in the time Evan went missing, someone else filled the gap in her heart.

"Is your headache better?" Jenny asked.

Evan nodded, indicating that he was fine now.

"Did you have a talk with him?" He knew what Jenny went to replace Gilbert for and was curious about how he would handle it.

As soon as that topic was brought up, Jenny sighed. "Yes."

"It appears that Gilbert is not willing to take responsibility." Evan took a guess. If Gilbert was, Jenny would be looking so upset.

Jenny walked to the sofa and sat down with a sad look on her face. "Gilbert said that he won't accept the child regardless of whether it is his or not."

"I understand." Evan was not surprised as it was not out of character for Gilbert. As long as he didn't like her, Marigold's unborn child would never sway him.

Jenny sighed again. "I just thought, after all, since they have a child, if Gilbert doesn't hate Marigold, maybe he could give her a chance."

Whether they ended up married was another matter, but at least they could get to know each other. What if they fell in love?

"Nobody likes a schemer." After saying that, Evan felt that this statement wasn't good enough. "Well, to be exact, no one likes falling into the traps set by others."

Some people might fall in love with each other in a situation like that, but Evan was not one of them.

Jenny understood Evan's stance, and because she understood it, it made her even more worried.

She wondered what she should do. Should she just watch Marigold give birth to the child and raise the child alone?

Jenny didn't grow up with her parents. Hence, she didn't want Gilbert's child to grow up without its father, as it would be cruel to the child.

"Jenny, there are some things you can't change. Just do your best and let them decide for themselves." Seeing her frowning, Evan knew what she was worrying about and felt slightly distressed. Jenny nodded, understanding that it was futile for her to worry about it. "Evan, go to bed. It's late."

"Okay." Evan did not refuse. After all, he had only remained in the living room so that he could see Jenny when she came back.

Jenny wheeled Evan upstairs. After seeing him enter his room, Howard followed. There was no need for her to take care of him. In fact, she hadn't taken care of Evan much since moving in. Jenny lay in her room, thinking about whether she should meet Marigold tomorrow. Just then, her phone rang. Jenny didn't need to look at the caller ID to know that it was Alec calling. "Jenny," Alec said through the phone. "Just got back?"

"Yeah, I went to see Gilbert, just got back," Jenny answered, getting up and walking to the window. As she had expected, Alec was standing across from her, waving and smiling brightly. "Have you had dinner?" Jenny asked, worried that Alec might forget to eat because he was busy.

Upon hearing her concern, Alec was very happy. "Yes, I have. Of course, I'd follow your instructions."
