To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1370 Gilbert and Marigold (45)

Lilith immediately felt a chill run down her spine when she heard what he said. She couldn't believe Gilbert would truly go against the Kruegers.

The Kruegers were almost as powerful as the Hawthorn Inc. If Gilbert truly were to do that, they would both end up in a lose-lose situation. She didn't believe that Gilbert would do that.

With his arm around Marigold, he brought her to a different seat and brought her a cup of warm water. "Don't take what the woman said to heart. I will let her have the punishment she deserves."

Marigold accepted the water Gilbert handed her. In fact, she was not afraid at all. On the contrary, her heart was pounding uncontrollably because of everything Gilbert had done.

"It's actually nothing. You don't have to do that for me." She had no idea who the woman from earlier was. However, seeing that she was so arrogant, she must be from a powerful family. Marigold didn't wish to bring trouble to Gilbert.

Gilbert didn't have much of a reaction when he heard that. "You're mine. She bullied you. That means she has disrespected me."

The fact that he said she was his made Marigold's face flushed completely. She was over the moon but still tried to keep her composure. "Would you be in any trouble?"

"Don't worry. I will take care of it." Gilbert did not want Marigold to worry. These are problems that he should resolve.

At that moment, Marigold truly felt that it was really nice to be protected by someone.

After Gilbert comforted Marigold for a while, he got up and left. Before he left, he even asked Jenny to accompany Marigold because he was afraid the incident from earlier would happen again.

Jenny was still smiling when Gilbert asked her to go over. Actually, she would go over even if he didn't ask her to do so. These two people have made great progress, so of course, she had to go over to have a look.

After Gilbert had left for a while, Jenny looked at Marigold, who was next to her. "What did my brother say to make you flush like this?"

"Jenny, you did it on purpose just now, didn't you?" Marigold didn't answer Jenny. She asked another question instead.

Jenny didn't deny it, and she nodded. "It was a little risky, but it looks like you've gained plenty." She could tell very clearly that because of what happened earlier, the atmosphere between Gilbert and Marigold had clearly changed.

"You" Marigold wanted to scold her, but she just could not do it in the end.

Just as Jenny said, it was very risky, but she had gained quite a bit. Otherwise, how would she ever hear Gilbert say that she was his?

"Tell me, how is your relationship with my brother coming along?" Jenny was extremely curious. She did not have any other things to worry about at that moment. The only thing that made her toss and turn in bed was Gilbert's marriage.

If other people didn't know better, they might think she was the eldest sibling.

Marigold hid nothing from Jenny. She told her everything that had happened in the past few days. When she was done, she asked, "Jenny, what do you think your brother is thinking? Does he have feelings for me?"

Marigold was confused because she was too close to the issue. For a moment, she felt that Gilbert liked her. However, she felt he had no feelings for her at all at the next moment. She felt she was about to be torn apart.

"How can you not tell when it's so obvious?" Jenny shook her head helplessly. How could he have no feelings for her? It was practically written all over his face that he liked her. Why would Marigold still ask such a question?"

"Is it obvious?" Marigold was confused. She had guesses and suspicions, but she just couldn't be sure.

Jenny put her arm on her shoulder and said earnestly, "I can tell you with great certainty that my brother likes you, so just keep it up!"
