To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1378 Gilbert and Marigold (53)

Marigold had no idea what he was thinking about as well. If she had, she would probably be even more nervous than Gilbert. At night, both of them had dinner together. After that, Gilbert continued working in the living room, but Marigold didn't stay.

She didn't take a shower the day before, so she needed the maid to help her shower no matter what. She felt that she could do it herself. However, Gilbert insisted on having someone to help her. Otherwise, he would help her himself. Marigold had no choice but to choose to let the maid help her. She wasn't quite used to it, but it was much better than allowing Gilbert to help her.

After Marigold took a shower, she didn't intend to return to the living room. Therefore, she put on a nightgown and sat in bed. She was looking at her phone, checking the news, and not doing much. Right at that moment, someone knocked on her door. After she asked the person to come in, Gilbert walked in.

"It's you?" Marigold felt a little embarrassed. She thought it was the maid, so she didn't ask. After all, she was wearing a nightgown. The fabric was not sheer, but she still looked different from how she usually dressed.

Gilbert had a serious face, and his eyes didn't dart around. With the first-aid kit in hand, he came to Marigold. "It's time to change the dressing for your wound."

Marigold's cheeks were flushed. "No need. I can do it myself."

However, Gilbert was not there to ask her opinion. He grabbed her arm, and the cold touch made him swallow his saliva. Suddenly, a burning desire surged in him.

He cursed inwardly. Why would he have such a huge reaction when he had just touched her arm? Could it be because he had not been with a woman for too long? To be more precise, it wasn't that he had not been with a woman for too long. Instead, Gilbert hadn't touched another woman other than when he slept with Marigold.

He didn't feel anything in the past. He wouldn't think about it either. He had always been in a state of abstinence. However, he felt he could not hold himself back anymore at that moment.

Marigold had no idea Gilbert had thought of so many things in that short period of time. With his touch, she felt that the part of the arm he was touching was burning. The temperatures of their bodies were very drastically different.

It took a while for Gilbert to get his usual self back. He suppressed the burning desire with all his might, and then he started to change the dressing for Marigold's wound.

There was no problem with her wound, but there was a big problem with the tension between them.

As Gilbert got nearer, Marigold became more and more nervous, so much so that even her breathing changed.

Gilbert was close to her, so he could feel her changes. He could feel her breath on top of his head, which was torture for him.

"Is it done?" Marigold could not hold it in any longer. Only God knew how much she was suffering at that moment.

Gilbert said nothing. He just sped up his movements. Soon, he let go of Marigold's arm. Right when she was about to let out a sigh of relief, the man suddenly made his next move. He held Marigold's head and kissed her hard.

At that moment, Marigold felt the world was spinning.

That kiss lasted for a long time. However, both of them seemed to want more.

"You..." Marigold's cheeks were as red as a tomato as she looked at Gilbert.

"Give me some time," Gilbert said.

Marigold did not know what he meant, but she did not reject him. "Alright."

She thought that maybe Gilbert still needed a little time to confirm his feelings, or maybe he still had some other things that he had not finished doing. However, no matter what, they were already very close to being together.

Marigold was pleased. She wanted to burst out laughing. She wanted to tell everyone that she had finally conquered Gibert.

However, in the end, she still held it in. She could not be too overboard.
