To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1071-What if She Only Loves Your Money?
"No way! We have to go now!" They could wait, but Marigold's baby couldn't.
If they were to get married, they had to do it early; otherwise, finding a suitable wedding dress would be difficult as her stomach grew bigger.
After hanging up, Jenny took a taxi to Zack's place. Meanwhile, Zack looked defeated after the call.
"What's wrong?" Janet sat beside him, sensing that he was in a terrible mood.
Zack sighed and told her what happened. In his opinion, Janet was part of his circle, so he had nothing to hide from her. Hearing the news, Janet fell silent.
"Based on my knowledge of Gilbert, even if he knows that Marigold is pregnant, he wont marry her. If Jenny insists on bringing me with her, I foresee that we won't be having a pleasant talk at his place," Zack deduced.
Hearing that, Janet finally came to her senses. ’But…shouldn't Gilbert be held accountable?"
In her opinion, regardless of whether Marigold had deceived him, the child was his; even if he didn't like Marigold, he should still take the child into consideration.
"If only it were that simple," Zack said, not paying too much heed to Janet's opinion. He figured she would take Jenny and Marigold's side as she was also a woman.
Zack rose from his seat and headed to the door, waiting for Jenny to arrive.
Janet trailed behind him and asked softly, "Do you want me to go with you guys?"
"No thanks. Gilbert will be even more unhappy if you go," Zack said without filtering his thoughts.
It wasn't until he had said it that he couldn't salvage the situation. "Janet, I didn't mean like that."
"I know, Zack. I know Gilbert doesn't like me," Janet said with a wry smile. In fact, she had always been aware of it.
"Don’t think too much about it. I will take care of everything," Zack assured her.
He had already decided to be with Janet, regardless of whether Gilbert liked her or not. Moreover, Gilbert had no say in his love life.
Hearing that, Janet felt a little relieved. "Okay, I understand."
Just then, Jenny's car pulled up in front of them. Poking her head out the window, she called, "Let's go, Zack."
"Janet, please head back in. You'll have to have dinner by yourself tonight as Jenny and I probably won't be coming back." They would probably have dinner if they went to Gilbert's place.
Janet nodded and gestured for him to enter the car. She then nodded at Jenny as a gesture of greeting.
Janet knew that Jenny was just like Gilbert; they both didn't like her. The only difference was that Jenny was less obvious about it. However, Janet didn't hold any grudges against Jenny. After all, her past wasn't the best. If Jenny meant Zack well, it would only be expected of her not to like Janet.
After Zack got in the car, Jenny started the car and drove away. After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you really like Janet that much?"
"Yes." Zack didn't elaborate. His actions and behavior had been clear enough, so Jenny should be aware of it too.
Jenny didn't know what to say. "Aren't you afraid she's tricking you? What if she doesn't love you at all but only loves your money?"
"Then I'll work harder to earn more money," Zack said.
That caught Jenny by surprise, rendering her speechless.
Zack laughed at the sight. "Jenny, don't worry about me and Janet. You have to trust my judgment. I wont misjudge a person."
Jenny didn't comment, but she thought, "You've never even been in a relationship. How can you trust your own judgment?"
However, she didn't say it aloud. After all, she didn't want to sour her relationship with Zack. For the time being, they had to focus on solving the issue between Gilbert and Marigold.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1072-t Gilbert's villa. As they had called in advance, Gilbert was already home when they arrived.
Seeing the two of them get out of the car, Gilbert's eyes lit up with joy. ’ Come on in."
Although spring was approaching, it was still snowing in Bardoff City, with temperatures being very low.
The three of them entered the house. Zack didn’t bring Janet with him, so Gilbert had no objections and spoke to him in a much better tone than he had used during their last encounter.
"Gilbert, Zack, you haven't had dinner, right?" Jenny said first, making it clear that they were here for a meal.
"Don't worry. Do you think I will starve you?" Gilbert laughed.
Jenny grinned and watched as Gilbert walked into the kitchen. Then, she pulled Zack to sit on the sofa nearby.
"Jenny, when do you plan to ask?" Zack asked softly, his eyes never leaving the kitchen.
Jenny pursed her lips. She was not sure. "How about…you ask, Zack?"
As soon as she said that, Zack quickly moved away from her and kept his distance. "Absolutely not! Are you trying to get me killed?"
If he dared to tell Gilbert to marry Marigold, Gilbert would kill him, and Zack was not ready to die yet.
"Alright, alright. I'll ask him, okay? You should look at your face-you were so scared," Jenny said, sighing helplessly.
As Zack scooted back to sit beside her, Jenny couldn't help but complain," Zack, you used to say that you would protect me and rush to the front for anything. It hasn't been long, but you've already forgotten your promise."
Zack laughed awkwardly. "This is different."
Jenny harrumphed at his reply as she saw no difference.
While the two discussed how to broach the topic, Gilbert was oblivious to what was about to happen. He was still cooking with a blissful smile on his face.
He guessed they had come for a meal because Zack and Janet had broken up, so he was very happy. Alas, his guess was completely wrong.
"Gilbert, let me help you," Jenny said, walking into the kitchen and helping him with the vegetables.
"No need, I can handle it myself." With only the three of them eating, he did not need to make too much food.
Jenny didn't leave but insisted on staying in the kitchen to help.
"Gilbert, you're such a good cook. Whoever marries you will definitely be happy," she said in an attempt to gauge his reaction.
To her disappointment, Gilbert didn't react much. "I haven't thought that far. I'm already very content to cook for you and Zack.’ "How can you not think about it, Gilbert? You should think about yourself." Jenny felt a little sad. Gilbert had been thinking about her and Zack for years and rarely looked after himself.
His hands trembling, he smiled wryly. "Jenny, when did you start pressuring me to get married too?"
"Oh, I just wanted to see your thoughts about it, Gilbert," Jenny didn't deny that she was urging him to get married. She said so much to let Gilbert be mentally prepared, so he wouldn't be too shocked later.
Gilbert fell silent for a moment, seeming to be really considering it.
After a long while, he said, "I don't have any plans for the time being.
Maybe it's because I haven't met someone I like."
Jenny was frustrated. When would he ever meet someone he liked? It seemed like the time would never arrive.
"Do you like children?" Jenny suddenly asked, staring at Gilbert without blinking, seeming to be very curious about the question.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1073-What Do You Think Is Going On Between Us?
Perhaps Jenny’s question caught him by surprise as Gilbert froze for a moment.
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"I'm just curious," Jenny answered with a guilty smile.
After pondering it, Gilbert said, "I don't like them very much. I think children are troublesome."
He preferred the free and relaxed nature of his life currently. If there were a child, just the thought of the child crying would give him a headache.
His answer filled Jenny with despair. To begin with, Gilbert did not like Marigold.
Since he didn't even like children, how could she bring it up?
"Jenny, why did you and Zack come today?" Gilbert stopped chopping the vegetables. Initially, he had thought they had come because of Zack and Janet, but he didn't think so anymore.
Jenny's many questions most likely had something to do with him.
However, Gilbert couldn't think of anything he had done that needed Jenny to make a special trip to confront him about.
Glancing at him, Jenny announced, "Let's cook first. We'll talk while we eat later."
"Alright." Gilbert didn't insist on knowing the answer. Since they had to talk sooner or later, he didn't need to be in such a hurry.
With Jenny’s help, the food was ready half an hour later.
"Gilbert, your cooking skills are unrivaled." Zack looked at the delicious food on the table and couldn't help but praise him.
Although Janet could also cook, she was far behind compared to Gilbert.
Glancing at him, Gilbert said, "Eat more if you like."
"Of course, let's dig in." Zack sat down and was about to start eating.
Then, the three of them sat down and started eating. Jenny and Gilbert chatted casually, and everything seemed normal. However, each of them was occupied by their own thoughts.
Jenny nudged Zack with her elbow. However, Zack didn't notice it. To be exact, he pretended not to notice and kept his head buried in his food.
Exasperated, Jenny thought, 'Some brother you are!"
Their interactions didn't go unnoticed by Gilbert. Setting his cutleries on the table, he looked at them seriously. "Jenny, if you have something to say, just say it. We are all family, and there's nothing you can't talk to me about."
He had no idea what Jenny and Zack had to say to him. More importantly, why were they acting all skittish, as if they couldn't tell him about it?
Since Gilbert took the initiative to ask, Jenny decided she should stop wasting time. She put down her cutleries and looked at Gilbert. "Gilbert, I know everything that happened to you while you were abroad."
It caught Gilbert by surprise, but he quickly recovered. "Okay, is this what you want to talk about?" Gilbert wasn't too surprised. In fact, he had long been prepared for Jenny to find out.
"What's going on between you and Marigold now?" Jenny asked without beating around the bush.
Upon hearing that, Gilbert sneered and asked, 'What do you think is going on between us? Since you know what happened to me abroad, you must know that I never intended to do that. She took advantage of me."
How could Marigold get intimate with him if he hadn't been drunk that day? He didn't like women who took advantage of others, and even if he had liked her before, he couldn't possibly like her again after that incident.
"But you two did have a one-night stand," Jenny couldn't help but say.
Gilbert's expression turned ugly. "So what? Jenny, you're not trying to tell me that because I slept with her once, I have to take responsibility for her, are you?"
If Jenny answered yes, Gilbert would suspect someone was forcing her to say that.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1074-The Child Can't Be Mine Having grown up together with Jenny, Gilbert knew her very well. There was no way she would tell him to be responsible for Marigold just because he slept with her once.
Gilbert looked at her, waiting for her to speak. Under his stare, Jenny felt frustrated. Of course, she couldn't ask Gilbert to take responsibility just because they slept together, especially since Marigold had taken advantage of Gilbert. In the end, she sighed and said, "I met Marigold at the hospital today.’ Gilbert frowned, failing to understand why Jenny was telling him that. He didn't care at all about Marigold.
"She came to see me because she had a headache. I suggested she have a CT scan of her brain, but…’ Jenny stopped and looked at Gilbert.
Gilbert was still completely puzzled, but he was increasingly upset with Marigold. He had warned her not to tell anyone about what had happened in the past, so he didn't expect her to go to Jenny.
In Gilbert's opinion, Marigold faked her headache to visit Jenny. She probably only wanted to tell Jenny about what had happened in the past, which was why Jenny was at Gilbert's place that night.
However, Gilbert soon realized that he was wrong.
"But Marigold refused. Do you know why, Gilbert?" Jenny asked.
Gilbert shook his head. "I'm not interested in her affairs.' "Because she's pregnant. A CT scan of the brain could have an impact on the child, and she doesn't want to take that risk.' Jenny thought that no matter Marigold's character, she would be a good mother.
The news that Marigold was pregnant shocked Gilbert for a while, but that was it. He quickly regained his composure and said, ’Oh? Is that so? Okay, she's pregnant, but what does it have to do with me? I don't care."
He wondered if Jenny thought he liked Marigold but decided it couldn't be possible as he absolutely hated that woman.
Jenny sighed. It seemed that Gilbert had never thought that the child might be his. Hence, she had to say it herself. "Given the timeline of Marigold's conception, that child is likely to be yours."
As soon as she said that, Gilbert's face changed drastically. He denied it directly without even giving it a thought. "Impossible!"
They only did it once. How could the child be his?
"I know you can't accept it. When I first found out, I couldn't accept it either. But after investigating, the child likely is yours," Jenny informed.
Before visiting Gilbert, she had investigated everyone Marigold had contacted after returning to the country. As Paul said, no other man was in Marigold's life besides Gilbert. Given the conception date, the child was most likely his.
Unfortunately, Gilbert still didn't believe her. "Impossible! This must be one of her plots!' Nobody knew if Marigold had gotten intimate with another man after that night to get a conception date close to the time she had slept with Gilbert.
"Gilbert, whether the child is yours or not, you can do a paternity test after the child is born. What you need to decide now is, if the child is yours, what are you going to do?"
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1075-Impossible Jenny's words were spot on, and Gilbert was left stunned and speechless.
It would be best if the child wasn't his so there would be no problems. However, if that wasn't the case…
Gilbert refused to think of the possibility.
"No idea because the child can’t possibly be mine,' Gilbert insisted. Nobody knew if he truly thought that way or simply refused to accept reality.
Frustrated, Jenny said, "Gilbert, you can use amniocentesis for a paternity test while the child is still in the womb."
"What do you mean, Jenny? Are you convinced that the child is mine?" Gilbert was unhappy. Why did everyone assume that the child belonged to him just because Marigold was pregnant?
Jenny sighed, trying to keep herself composed. "Gilbert, even though this matter isn't certain, you need to decide. If the child is yours, what do you plan to do?” That was what she wanted to know.
"Regardless of whether the child is mine or not, I wont accept it." He made his stance clear. For one, he didn't think the child was his. Even if it was, he wouldnt acknowledge it.
Before Jenny could say more, Gilbert added, "Tell Marigold that if the child is mine, she should abort it as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge the child even if she gives birth to it!’ "Gilbert…" Jenny didn't know how to respond.
"Am I too heartless?" Gilbert asked.
Jenny kept her mouth shut, silently agreeing.
Gilbert smiled bitterly. "Jenny, think about it from a different perspective. If you were drugged and became pregnant, would you accept it if the other person asked you to keep the child?' His words seemed to make Jenny understand him a little better. However, she still had her own beliefs. "I was thinking, Gilbert, that you don't have someone you like, so why not try to like Marigold? If it works out-"
"That's impossible!" Gilbert interrupted. "If you were in my shoes, would you like such a woman?’ Before Marigold plotted against him, he had no feelings for her. He neither liked nor disliked her. However, ever since the incident, he had grown to detest her.
Even hearing her name irritated him, let alone being with her.
Jenny had nothing to say.
She looked at Zack beside her, signaling for him to say something.
Zack noticed her gaze and finally put his cutleries down. "Gilbert, I think if you don't like her, you need to deal with the issue of the child as soon as possible.
Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
"Zack!" Jenny shouted. She had asked him to persuade Gilbert to accept the child.
Uncomfortable, Zack explained, "Jenny, I think Gilbert is right. No one would like Marigold if they were in Gilbert's shoes.’ "That doesn't mean we must get rid of the child!" Jenny was displeased.
"Well, before the child is born, all problems can be resolved. But once it was, who knows what Marigold will do? What if she uses the child against Gilbert?
Aren't we enabling her if we do nothing about it?"
Zack understood Gilbert's concerns. He didn't hold Marigold in good regard to begin with, and the actions she had taken were simply distasteful.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1076-re "Zack is right.’ Gilbert agreed.
Although he didn't think the child was his, he still had to make some things clear to Marigold, so she wouldn’t come back to bother him later.
Jenny was frustrated. Why weren't they thinking from Marigold's perspective?
She was wrong for taking advantage of Gilbert, but she never pestered him after that, nor did she look for him after she got pregnant. Didn't that prove she wouldn't use the child as a bargaining chip?
"Gilbert, I understand what you mean. I will go find Marigold." Jenny stopped Gilbert from doing it himself. She was afraid that Gilbert would get angry and do something irrational.
Gilbert looked at her, "You're going to talk to her for me?’ "I'll just convey your message to her, not persuade her to abort the child,” Jenny said.
Seeing that Gilbert was about to speak again, Jenny hurriedly added, "Since you are so sure that the child is not yours, whether she wants to abort the child or not has nothing to do with you. Isn't that right? What if she wants to keep the baby and raise it herself? In that case, we can't do anything about it, right?’ Gilbert was not very happy to hear that. In his opinion, having the child aborted was the safest thing to do.
Jenny understood his feelings. Hence, she said, "Gilbert, it is her right to choose, and you can't intervene regardless of whether the child is yours."
She was afraid that Gilbert would do something extreme as he was capable of such things. If he forced Marigold to abort the baby, not only would it be excessive, but Paul would also never let it slide.
"Calm down. I haven't reached that point yet," Gilbert coldly retorted, still uneasy and upset over Marigold's scheme.
After leaving Gilbert's house, Jenny wore an unhappy expression on her face.
Zack, who was driving, glanced at her and whispered, ' Jenny, it's not that I don't want to help you, but he's right about this.” If it were him, he wouldn't accept Marigold with open arms either.
"I know, Gilbert isn't wrong." While Jenny understood Gilbert, she felt uncomfortable about the situation.
"It's better if Marigold aborts the baby as she would have a new life if she does that. If she brings it to the world, it will all be over," Zack said, hoping there wouldn't be any trouble in the future.
Upset, Jenny glanced at him. "What if she wants to raise the child? Not everyone has to get married."
"Fine, fine. Say whatever you want." Zack didn't want to argue with Jenny.
Knowing she was upset, he decided to get out of her hair.
Jenny didn't want to linger on that topic either. Hence she asked, "How are you and Janet doing lately?"
"Pretty good," Zack replied. When Jenny didn't say anything, Zack chuckled and added, "I know you and Gilbert are both waiting for me to break up with her, but let me tell you clearly, Janet and I will never break up!"
"Don't be too sure. Nobody knows what the future holds." They had only been together for a short time; their relationship had yet to experience any hardships.
Looking confident, Zack arrogantly declared, ”1 am certain!"
Feeling more upset, Jenny kept quiet. Seeing Zack's confidence, she doubted whether Alec's proposal would be effective.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor 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 find 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."
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1078-The Child Is Mine Evan was in his room and couldn't hear what Jenny and Alec were talking about, but he could guess from Alec's smile that they were having a good chat. His mood suddenly turned sour.
"You should rest." Howard didn't know what Evan was thinking, nor could he do anything about it.
Evan nodded and got up from the wheelchair to lie down on the bed. Just as Howard was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Set an appointment with Alec to come over tomorrow."
"You want to see him?" Howard was puzzled. He didn't think Evan and Alec had anything to talk about.
Evan nodded but didn't bother to explain. He was already formulating a plan in his mind. If he wanted to go abroad, he needed a good reason.
Howard didn't ask any more questions. All he knew was that Evan had his plans, and he just needed to do as he was told.
The next day, Jenny invited Marigold out during her lunch break.
Marigold was confused when she received Jenny's phone call as she didn't think she had anything to discuss with Jenny. It seemed strange that she suddenly called her and asked to meet up. Nonetheless, she still went to meet her.
As soon as she sat down, the waiter brought her a glass of juice.
"Although drinking coffee isn't exactly harmful during pregnancy, many people are still bothered about it, so I ordered juice for you instead."
"Thank you." Marigold thanked her, surprised by Jenny's thoughtfulness.
She didn't dare to drink coffee, even though her doctor had told her it wouldn't affect her pregnancy. As she sipped her juice, she wondered what Jenny wanted to talk to her about.
After a brief silence, Jenny noticed that she was nervous and sighed, thinking that Marigold had changed.
"Dr. Walter, why did you invite me here?” Marigold finally asked.
Jenny put down her coffee and looked at her, asking, "Is your child Gilbert's?"
Perhaps because she was too straightforward, Marigold was stunned.
"Why would you ask that?" Marigold nervously picked up the drink on the table, trying to steel her nerves.
But Jenny could see through her. "Paul talked to me about it yesterday," Jenny said, not beating around the bush.
Marigold froze.
"Although I don't like him very much, Paul is still a good brother. At least he cares about you," Jenny said.
Marigold didn't deny it. Instead, she asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"Are you not going to tell Gilbert about the child?"
"The child is mine. Why should I tell anyone else?" Marigold shook her head.
"Isn't it also Gilbert's child?" Jenny asked, hoping to glean something from Marigold's expression. Unfortunately, she found nothing.
Looking a little down, Marigold cast her a wary look. "My child has nothing to do with him."
"Are you really planning to give birth to the child?" Jenny asked.
"Of course." Almost without hesitation, Marigold nodded in agreement.
Jenny was at a loss for words. From their conversation just now, it seemed that Marigold intended to raise the child alone.
Jenny admired her, but she felt sorry for the unborn child.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1079-Aren't You Curious About His Answer?
"Although people may be more accepting of it now, I think children without a father still feel a little sad about it. Have you considered that?” Jenny looked at her. It was a sincere question, with no intention to mock Marigold's situation.
Marigold lowered her head, and it was clear that Jenny's words had struck a chord in her. In fact, she was also worried, and she knew what a father meant to a child. But what could she do?
If Gilbert knew she was pregnant with his child, he would force her to have an abortion since he loathed her.
"I went to see my brother yesterday.’ Jenny finally told her after a long pause.
Marigold's eyes widened in shock and then turned to fear. ’You…you told him?"
"Yeah," Jenny didn't deny it. At this point, there was no need to deny it.
Marigold was instantly angry. "How dare you tell him without my consent? This is my child, and I'll do what I want with it. It's none of anyone else's business."
Even Gilbert had no right to interfere.
"Aren't you curious about his answer?" Jenny wasn’t angry at her outburst. In fact, she understood Marigold. However, as his sister, Jenny hoped that Gilbert could have a happy family.
Chewing on her lip. Marigold whispered, "His answer? He'll probably just ask me to get an abortion. No, he won't even believe the child is his." Marigold laughed bitterly.
Jenny didn't know what to say because Marigold was right. Gilbert didn't believe the child was his, and even if he did, he would still ask Marigold to get an abortion.
Sighing, Jenny asked, "So, have you really thought it through? Even if you have the child, my brother will still not accept it.’ "Yes, I've made up my mind since the moment I decided to keep the child.’ Marigold was resolute.
Seeing that, Jenny didn't say more. "If you need any help, just give me a call. H If this child came to the world, she would accept it even if Gilbert didn't. They would be her nephew or niece, and she would be their aunt.
Hearing Jenny's reply, Marigold sat back down. With a softer tone, she asked, "You don’t object to me having the child?"
"Of course not. As you said, the child is yours. It's in your womb, and no one can stop you from having it." Not even Gilbert.
For some reason, Marigold felt relieved as she didn't expect anyone to support her. She looked at Jenny gratefully. "Thank you."
"Don't thank me. It should be me thanking you," Jenny looked at her. No matter how unpleasant their past was, it had become a thing of the past now.
Marigold, however, didn't understand what she meant. "Thank me?"
"Yeah, thank you for bringing another family member into my life,” Jenny said.
Although she and Gilbert were not related by blood, he was still her brother. So, his child would be her niece or nephew.
Jenny hoped Marigold's child was a girl so that she could buy her many beautiful little dresses.
Upon hearing that, Marigold's eyes reddened. She looked at Jenny, not knowing what to say. "About what happened before…I'm sorry."
She was never someone who liked to apologize. If Jenny hadn't come to her today and told her these things, she might have never said sorry in her entire life.
Jenny smiled at her. She stood up and patted her shoulder. "It's all in the past.
You're about to start a new life."
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1080-s!
Marigold thought she was about to start anew, but when Gilbert approached her, she realized that starting a new life was harder than she had imagined.
"Whose child is it?" Gilbert asked her coldly. Although Jenny said he would talk to Marigold for him, he wasn't reassured by how she reacted to the situation.
Therefore, he decided to talk to Marigold himself.
Marigold noticed the frosty look he was giving her. Feeling a little nervous, she clenched her fists beneath the table. "It's not yours anyway. Why are you so worked up over the situation?"
"Since it's not mine, why did you lie about it?" Gilbert continued to frown. He had been staring at Marigold, trying to see through her.
However, Marigold put up a good fight as she knew that if Gilbert knew the child was his, he would not allow her to give birth to the child safely.
"At first, I thought of using the child to tie you down, but after Jenny talked to me, I knew that it wouldn’t work, so I stopped lying," Marigold said with a light laugh.
Frowning, Gilbert wondered whether she was telling the truth. After a while, his gaze softened a little.
"So, whose child is it?"
"Well…I don’t know," Marigold said with an embarrassed smile. "I drank too much when I went to the bar to have fun. When I woke up, the man had already left, and I didn't know who he was."
"Shameless!" Gilbert spat.
Marigold didn't refute. She even nodded and said, "Yes, that's what I am. It's not like you didn't know that before."
"Even though you don't know who the father is, you still want to give birth to the child?" Gilbert seemed unable to understand her decision.
"No matter who the father is, I am still its mother. Why can't I give birth to my child?" Marigold retorted.
Could she not raise a child?
Gilbert still failed to understand her. 'Have you thought about how much criticism you will receive as a single mother?"
Marigold shrugged, looking unconcerned. "I don't care.” Gilbert wanted to say more, but Marigold didn't give him a chance. "Why do you suddenly care so much about me? Are you in love with me?"
"In love with you? Ridiculous.” Gilbert glanced at her, wondering how Marigold had the nerve to say such a thing.
"Since you don't love me, what does it matter to you if I carry the child or not?*
Marigold retorted rudely. She had given up on getting Gilbert to like her.
Although she still felt sad, she felt much better now.
With an ugly expression, Gilbert sneered, ’I'm afraid you will come up with some scheme after giving birth to the child."
In other words, he was afraid that Marigold would pester him.
