To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1129 The Fight

However, Gilbert was not there to solve problems-he didn't think that there was one in the first place. If there was, it was all Marigold's fault. It had nothing to do with him.

He looked at Paul and repeated, "You know very well what Marigold and I are like. Would you marry a woman like that?"

"What do you mean, a woman like that? Would this have happened if you hadn't touched her?" Paul was furious. Gilbert had spoken as if Marigold were a whore.

Gilbert couldn't be bothered to argue. He stood his ground. "Tell her that if the child is mine, she should abort it quickly. I won't accept the kid. And if it's not mine," he scoffed, "don't appear before me again." After that, he made to leave. He had nothing more to say to Paul

It was no wonder that Marigold would have such twisted delusions. In his eyes, the Wagners were all the same. The apple didn't fall far from the tree.

But before Gilbert could reach the door, Paul jumped up and landed a blow on him that made him stagger to the ground. "Bastard! Who do you think you are? How dare you look down on my sister? I'm going to fucking kill you!"

Paul grew up alongside Alec. Although he wasn't as good as Alec in terms of combat ability, he was still pretty darn good. As for Gilbert, he learned self-defense with Jenny for only a few days. Thus, it was a losing battle for him.

In the end, Gilbert was carried away in an ambulance, and Paul was dragged off in a police car.

When Jenny and Alec received the news, they were stunned.

She hung up. "Paul?"

"And Gilbert?" Alec said.

They shared a smile, both a little speechless. "What were they doing?"

Alec held her in his arms and buried his head in the crook of her neck, greedily inhaling her scent. "What else could it be? It's probably about Marigold."

Jenny pushed him away. "Wasn't that already settled? Why would they fight each other?"

"You're the only one who thinks it's settled. Paul would never let Marigold raise the kid on her own. Although he looks to be heartless, he's pretty protective of Marigold. He probably just wants her to have a happy ending," Alec said.

Jenny frowned, feeling a headache coming. "But Marigold was insistent on raising the child by herself. I talked with her before and stopped telling her to abort the child. I think she'll be able to raise the child well."

"So no one is really in the wrong. Paul was just protecting his sister." As for Gilbert, Alec couldn't say he was in the wrong, either. If he were in his shoes, letting Marigold stay alive would already be a form of mercy.

When he saw how distressed Jenny looked, Alec felt an ache in his heart and embraced her again. "Don't overthink it. We'll talk about it when we go back tomorrow."

"Okay." Jenny felt it was time for them to go back, too. Although the hospital wasn't urging her to return, she was already restless. On top of that, Paul and Gilbert had caused a scene. She had to check on the situation. But she couldn't help feeling guilty towards Alec. "We can still go wherever you'd like to go."

"It's alright. It doesn't matter where I go as long as I'm with you." Alec smiled, his voice magnetic.

Jenny rolled over, burying herself in his chest once more.
