Chapter 1377 Gilbert and Marigold (52)

'What's the matter?" Gilbert was confused. Did he say anything wrong earlier?

Marigold pursed her lips. She wanted to ask Gilbert what exactly she was to him, but she didn't dare to do it.

Both of them had yet to define their relationship. Perhaps Gilbert wasn't sure about his feelings for her as well. Marigold was a little afraid that she would break what they had going on if she asked him directly. If things ended well, they would immediately be together. If things end up badly, they would have to part ways.

Thinking of Gilbert's attitude from the past, Marigold got cold feet. In the end, she still didn't have the guts to ask.

'Why did you suddenly decide to return to the Bradshaw family?" Marigold asked to change the topic.

Gilbert didn't know what she was thinking about. Therefore, when he heard her asking this question, he thought that was exactly what she had been thinking about before that. "Nothing in particular. Since they welcome me so much, why shouldn't I go?"

Marigold felt he was not speaking the truth, but she asked no further questions. In any case, she had no clue about business-related things.

Even if Gilbert told her about it, she would be confused, so she might as well just not ask.

After breakfast, Gilbert didn't go to work and stayed home instead. That made Marigold a little confused. "Don't you need to go to work?"

'I'm not going today."

'Why?"

'Your injury isn't healed yet. What happens if something happened to you at home after I went to work?" Gilbert said without looking up at her. He was still looking at the documents in his hands. It was as if this was what he was supposed to do.

However, what he said made tears well up in Marigold's eyes.

Was he really starting to care about her? Was she really not dreaming?

She rubbed the corner of her eyes to forcefully wipe off her tears. "You don't have to do this. I'm fine. Besides, there are maids at home."

It was just a superficial injury. Marigold truly felt that Gilbert had exaggerated it. He made it seem like she was severely injured.

'Do you not want me to be at home?" Gilbert raised his head and looked at her.

Marigold was stunned. How could she not like that? She wanted him to stay at home very much.

'No, I was just afraid your work would be affected."

Gilbert looked away. "It won't."

Upon hearing that, Marigold was sensible enough not to ask any other questions. In any case, it was always good for him to be at home. Even if they didn't do anything, she would be happy to be able to take a couple more glances at him.

With that idea in mind, Marigold brought Caleb to the living room. While playing with him, she kept secretly looking at Gilbert as he worked. It gave her a different sense of satisfaction.

The day flew by very quickly. In the past, Marigold had always felt that time was passing slowly when she was in the villa. Perhaps because Gilbert was also around that day, Marigold felt that time was flying by. She felt she still didn't have enough of the day.

Gilbert had no idea she was thinking about that. In fact, when Marigold was secretly glancing at him, he was doing the same to her. Seeing her playing with their child and hearing their laughter echoing in the living room, Gilbert suddenly felt it wasn't too bad.

Was this not the family he had wanted in the past? Why was he still hesitating when he already had it at that moment?

Gilbert made a decision. After the matter regarding the Bradshaw family was resolved, he would confess to Marigold. By then, whether they should start fresh and date again or get married straight away, he would be fine with it.

'Why are you staring at me?" Without Gilbert realizing it, Marigold had come to him. He was still staring at her without hiding at all.

"Nothing." Gilbert panicked a little. He quickly resumed working.

He had already made the decision but still had not figured out how to tell Marigold later on.
