Ch. 1371..1380

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1371-Happiness was written all over her face, and she just could not hide it.

When she thought of the fact that her hard work had finally paid off after such a long time, she just couldn't help but smile.

"Jenny, thank you." If Jenny hadn't reminded her, she might still be as careless as before. If that were the case, Gilbert probably would not fall for her.

Jenny, however, didn't share the same thought. novelxo She knew Gilbert's character very well. He had always been indifferent toward outsiders, but he would slowly change after getting along with the person for some time. Jenny felt that even if she didn't say anything to Marigold, they would still end up together sooner or later if they continued to get along as they did before.

She smiled at Marigold and said, "No need to thank me. This is the result of your hard work. If you really want to thank me, give me a big present when you two get married.' Marigold's face instantly flushed. novelxo She said with slight embarrassment, "I still don't know when that will be."

’Soon." Jenny had a feeling.

The gala was still ongoing, but Gilbert was a little distracted. He was talking to the client, but he could not help but keep glancing in Marigold's direction through the corner of his eyes. He had no idea what she and Jenny were talking about, but she looked like she was very happy.

Finally, the gala ended. novel.xo The first thing Gilbert did was go to Marigold.

"Let's go. It's time to go home."

’Alright." Marigold nodded. She felt that she had truly changed. She was very interested in galas like this in the past, but at that moment, she suddenly felt it was boring.

Both of them got up, and Jenny got up with them as well. 'Bye then. Have a safe journey home."

"Alright. You should go back as well." Alec was already waiting for Jenny on the other end.

After the three parted ways, Gilbert brought Marigold out of the hotel.

Jenny also walked to Alec. She smiled in delight as she watched the two of them leave.

Gilbert opened the door to the back seat. novel.xo Marigold was first to get in, and then Gilbert followed her into the car as well. Marigold was a little surprised.

Gilbert would always sit in the front passenger seat in the past. He had never sat at the back with her before.

The driver started the car. The narrow back seat was filled with the woody cologne coming from Gilbert's body. It was very pleasant to the nose, and she was a little intoxicated by it.

"Are you tired?" Gilbert asked. novëlxo There was a tinge of care that was hard to put into words in his tone.

Marigold's heart started pounding. She was so close to him, and his gaze was so affectionate. She almost could not hold herself back.

No, no, she must not throw herself at him.

She lowered her head and avoided Gilbert's eyes. "It's alright. I'm not that tired.’ Her body was not feeling tired, but the torture of being alone with Gilbert was incredible suffering to her.

"You must have had a tiring night," Gilbert said.

Marigold felt it was not very tiring. It was mainly because she was there to accompany Gilbert, so she would not feel it was tiring no matter what she did.

Of course, if she were not accompanying Gilbert, she absolutely would not attend such a boring gala.

"Why are you looking down? Don't dare to look at me?" n.ovëlx.o Suddenly, she heard Gilbert's voice coming from above her head. Marigold's back stiffened.

She bit her lip as she didn't know how to react.

She didn't react, but Gilbert didn't plan to stop there. He reached his hand out and raised her chin, making Marigold look at him. He could easily see that her cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Marigold got upset when she saw him chuckling. n.ovëlx.o"Why are you smiling so alluringly? You should know that I'm not a good girl."

Gilbert could not help but laugh when he heard that. Logically speaking, he should be the one saying that line, shouldn't he?

’Oh? So what is a bad girl like you planning to do?" n.ove.lx.o Gilbert looked at her. His gaze seemed like he was looking forward to her doing something.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1372-Marigold felt that she was about to lose her mind. He was deliberately seducing her, wasn't he? He clearly knew she liked him, yet he seduced her like that!

She bit her lips and felt she should teach him a lesson.

In the next second, she immediately took charge. She reached out her hand and held Gilbert's chin. "What do you want me to do?"

Gilbert chuckled softly. This was truly extremely interesting. He said nothing, but he didn't stop moving either. He slowly got closer to Marigold, so much so that he was almost touching her lips. "Am I the one who wants it, or are you?"

"Damn it!" Marigold swore inwardly. She was blushing so hard that her earlobes were red. She was shy and a little nervous. She was even a little excited.

Marigold felt that she should just do it. Since he had thrown himself at her, she would be wasting this opportunity if she did nothing.

Right when she was about to kiss Gilbert, their car was violently hit. Fortunately, Gilbert hugged her in time. Otherwise, the impact would have thrown her to the front seat.

"What's going on?" Marigold looked a little terrified when she regained her senses.

Gilbert's gaze turned cold. Looking through the windshield, he saw a car blocking their car. It looked like it was not an accident.

"Mr. Hawthorn…" The driver was also dazed. That car was still driving next to them earlier. Why would it suddenly come crashing into them?

Gilbert hugged Marigold and glanced out the car window. "Reverse and go around the car!"

He knew they were coming at him, and he wasn't afraid of trouble. However, Marigold was still in the car. He had to first ensure that she was safe.

The driver started the engine again as soon as he heard Gilbert's words.

However, the other party didn't plan to let them leave. There was another impact. It was another car. They blocked their way, giving them no chance to drive away.

Gilbert's expression turned grim. Then, he made a decision very quickly."

Abandon the car. Let's go!"

Upon saying that, he opened the car door and brought Marigold into an alley before the other party could get down from their cars.

Fortunately, the night had fallen at that moment, so the men would not be able to find Marigold and Gilbert so soon. However, Gilbert also knew that this was not a solution.

Gilbert heard a loud bang-a gunshot. He had no choice but to be cautious.

These people actually had guns on them.

Marigold also knew how serious the matter was. She was by Gilbert's side and said, "I've already notified Jenny. They should be arriving very soon."

Gilbert frowned. He was a little worried. He knew at a glance that these people were not easy to mess with. Jenny would be in danger if she were to come over.

"Alec is with her. He will definitely keep her safe," Marigold added. It was as if she could tell what he was worried about.

Gilbert responded with a hum and made no other comments. Then, he said, "Follow me closely."

Both of them hid in an alley quietly. However, they kept hearing footsteps, both near and far, coming from behind them. They occasionally also heard shots being fired. They had no way to keep their minds at ease.

"We cant keep staying here. I'll go lure them away. You find a place to hide.

Leave only after they have left." Gilbert was certain that these people were coming at him. Therefore, once he showed his face, they certainly would leave with him.

He wanted to leave, but Marigold didn't allow it. "No! Together!"

"Stop fooling around!" Gilbert looked at her seriously. He didn't want Marigold to get into trouble with him.

However, Marigold was very firm. "I'm not fooling around."

She was right. She was not fooling around. She had never been this serious before. If they were not in an inappropriate place at that moment, Gilbert probably would not be able to hold himself back and hug her.

He didn't force her. He just protected her even more.

"Watch out!"

A shot was fired, then Marigold could be heard shouting. She rushed forward and stood in front of Gilbert.

Another loud bang came-another shot!

At that moment, Gilbert felt the world turned black and white, and his heart was pounding like mad. It was as if he was about to lose something important

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1373-Gilbert's heart almost stopped as Marigold groaned in pain.

"You-" Gilbert did not even know what to say. At that moment, he felt furious and was also in indescribable pain. However, he was feeling more worried.

He held Marigold tightly, afraid she would slip away from his arms.

Marigold could sense his nervousness as well. With a slight embarrassment, she said, "I’m fine. It just grazed me a little."

Yes, she was grazed by the bullet. Perhaps it was too dark, but the person who fired the shot missed.

Gilbert let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. What came after was rage.

"Who asked you to take a bullet for me? Do you not want to live anymore?"

If the shooter didn't have a bad aim, Gilbert didn't even dare to think if Marigold could live or not.

“I didn't think that much.” At that time, she was only thinking of not letting Gilbert get shot. She truly didn't consider too much about whether she would live or die.

Gilbert looked at her. He could not see her expression clearly in the night, but he still felt touched. He immediately picked her up and continued hiding.

’I’m fine. Put me down. I can walk by myself…"

"Shut up!* Gilbert was very pissed at that moment. However, it was not the time to reprimand Marigold. No matter what, he had to first confirm that they were safe.

Jenny's men came right in time. Alec was with Jenny, so both of them rushed over together. The gunmen were subdued very quickly. A few of them died, but a few were caught. Jenny walked to them and saw Gilbert hugging Marigold. She was a little worried. "Did you get hurt?"

She had already called for an ambulance when she came, so it should arrive soon.

"I'm fine-' "She's injured." Gilbert cut Marigold off and ignored what she wanted to say.

Marigold was speechless. She could only look at Jenny helplessly, novëlx.o hoping Jenny could talk some sense into Gilbert or at least make him put her down. It was very embarrassing to be carried like that.

However, Jenny didn't have the intention to help her at all. novëlx.o She felt it was quite good for Gilbert to carry Marigold in his arms. That was enough to prove that he cared about Marigold.

Soon, the ambulance arrived. Gilbert then carried Marigold to the ambulance.

Before they got in, he looked at the few people who were caught. "I want to know who's behind this."

"Don't worry, Gilbert. Leave it to me." Jenny's gaze turned cold as she looked at those few people. How dare they attack Gilbert! They were simply looking down at her.

Gilbert didn't need the Walters' help, but everybody in Bardoff City knew Jenny and Gilbert's relationship. Attacking Gilbert meant that they were going against her and the Water family.

"I want to take care of it myself. You just have to help me find out who's behind it." Gilbert knew Jenny would help him, but he did not want that. He wanted to take care of his own business himself.

Besides, he actually could already n.ovëlx.o figure out parts of it.

In fact, there were not that many people who would attack him.

It was the Bradshaw family…

Gilbert sneered in secret. Were they preparing to get rid of him because they saw he was not planning to return? What an unusual tactic they had taken.

Gilbert brought Marigold into the ambulance and left. Jenny and Alec stayed behind to handle the rest of the matter.

Marigold sat on the stretcher in the ambulance while the doctor treated the injury on her arm. She was not severely injured, but Gilbert looked extremely sullen when he saw Marigold bleeding.

"Alright. Keep your arm away from water n.ovëlx.o for a few days and rest," the doctor instructed. There was no need for her to go to the hospital at all.

When they got to the hospital, Gilbert insisted on letting Marigold have a comprehensive health checkup. Marigold was helpless, but she could only do as he said. She could tell that Gilbert was very upset. She felt it was better for her to just go along with him at a moment like this.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1374-After they returned to the villa, Gilbert brought Marigold back to the room.

However, he had no intention of leaving. That made Marigold feel awkward as he did not know what he wanted.

"It's getting late. You should go back and rest.’ Marigold had no choice but to be the first to speak. She couldn't let Gilbert stay by her side in the room.

Gilbert didn't leave. He looked at her and asked, "The doctor said you are not to get your arm wet, so how are you going to shower?"

Marigold couldn't believe what she had heard. "HI just skip showering today."

Marigold let out a forced laugh. She was a little not used to discussing this kind of topic with him.

"If you want to take a shower, I can help," Gilbert offered. He even said it very seriously.

Marigold strongly suspected she had heard it wrong. What did he say? He could help?

As if he was afraid she would misunderstand, Gilbert quickly said, "I can ask the maid to come and help you take a shower."

"No need for that. It's not a big deal to not shower for a day." She was not that bad of a clean freak.

Seeing that she was insistent, Gilbert didn't push her anymore. "Take a good rest. Call me if you need anything."

"Alright. You have a good rest too." Seeing that he was finally about to leave, Marigold felt relieved. She would not be able to take it anymore if he had stayed any longer.

What she needed at that moment was peace and quiet. She needed to process what happened that night properly, especially Gilbert's attitude. What exactly did he mean?

Soon, Gilbert left the room. However, he didn't return to his room to rest.

Instead, he went to the study. The concern on his face immediately disappeared. He became incomparably indifferent. He took out his phone and saw the message Jenny had just sent to him. She was very efficient and had found out who was behind the group of killers.

It was Eli.

Gilbert knew Eli was his younger brother by blood, but for some reason, he had no impression of him at all. However, Gilbert didn't care about that. He only knew that Eli had poked the bear.

Gilbert originally did not want to get too involved with the Bradshaws. However, it was clear that he could not do that anymore. Since the Bradshaws wanted him to return so badly, he would do as they wished! However, would they truly be able to accept the consequences?

He made up his mind. That night, Esther received a message from him, saying that he was willing to return to the Bradshaw family.

Esther was thrilled. She had not seen Gilbert for many years, but he was still her son, after all. He was capable and powerful. If Gilbert were to take over Bradshaw Operations, the rest of the Bradshaws probably would not have anything against it.

However, Esther was not a fool either. Something must be up for Gilbert to agree so suddenly. She would not believe him so easily. Deliberation was always needed for everything. Nevertheless, it was still a good outcome for her, no matter what.

The next day, Octavius and Eli learned that Gilbert was returning to the Bradshaw family. Octavius didn't have any reaction. If this had happened in the past, he might be as happy as Esther. However, he knew very clearly that Gilbert would not really want to return to the family. He must have his motive for doing so.

Eli, on the other hand, said nothing. However, his mind was extremely twisted.

His men had failed yesterday night, and some were captured. He was afraid that those people had already given him away. If they had confessed, the reason Gilbert suddenly decided to return was worth pondering over.

He was worried that Gilbert was coming after him. However, no matter how much he worried about it, he couldn't tell anyone. Otherwise, Esther would know he had attacked Gilbert, and she certainly would not let him off the hook.

Also, he did not want to make Esther disappointed.

He was troubled and had no idea what to do for a moment.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1375-Marigold had quite a good sleep at Gilbert's villa that night. She was not affected by what happened the night before.

When she got downstairs after she woke up, Gilbert was already sitting in the living room. When he saw her coming down the stairs, he got up and came to her. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No." Marigold shook her head. She felt there was no need to make a fuss when her injury was so minor.

Upon hearing that, Gilbert didn't ask anymore. novelxo He asked the maid to have breakfast served. "Let's have breakfast."

"Alright.' It was after Marigold sat down that she realized the breakfast that day was a little different from what they usually had. It was practically foods that were rich in iron. She was a little helpless. She looked up at Gilbert and said, "There's no need to go over the top when it's only a minor injury."

"So what if it's a minor injury? You were bleeding." In his opinion, since she did lose some blood, she needed more iron to replenish. Besides, it was because Marigold tried to save him that she got injured.

Marigold couldn’t find a way to refute his argument. novelxo "Oh, alright." She didn't say anything else, just buried herself in her breakfast.

Seeing that she was eating breakfast so obediently, Gilbert felt the itch to ask, "Why did you jump in front of a bullet for me yesterday? Are you really not afraid of death?"

He had already asked this question yesterday. However, he still could not help but ask her again.

"I was afraid. Everybody is afraid of death." She wasn't that mighty, so of course, she was also afraid of death. "I didn't think too much about it at that time."

She was afraid to die, but she didn't want to see anything happen to Gilbert.

Therefore, she reacted instinctively at that time.

Gilbert was touched as he looked at her. novel.xo No matter how slow he was to warm up to a person, he could tell that he was a little in love with Marigold at that moment.

He had never expected that he would actually fall in love with a person he once hated so much. It was really too strange. Could it be that he was the kind who would develop feelings for a person over time?

There was a moment of silence before the man said slowly, "Don't be so silly next time. Think of Caleb. What would he do if something happened to you?” "He would lose his father too if something happened to you,novëlxo wouldn't he?" Marigold felt that both she and Gilbert should not let anything happen to them.

Gilbert laughed a little. He did not refute her. "You are right, so we both have to protect ourselves."

Right at that moment, the nanny came in. "Mr. Hawthorn, a lady named Esther Bradshaw is here for you."

"Mmhmm. Let her in." Gilbert was not surprised at all that Esther would come over. He had already messaged her last night, saying he wanted to return to the Bradshaw family. It was only natural that she would personally visit him to get confirmation.

The nanny turned around and left. Marigold, novëlx.o however, was stunned.

"Why… is she here looking for you? Could it be that she wants to talk you into returning to the Bradshaw family again?"

Before Gilbert said anything, the nanny had already brought Esther into the living room. Gilbert could only smile at Marigold without answering her question.

"Is what you said in the message yesterday true?" Esther went straight to the point with Gilbert, not beating around the bush.

Marigold was sitting at the side, n.ovëlx.o but she was completely ignored by Esther.

While having breakfast, Gilbert said slowly, "Of course, it's true."

Esther's eyes lit up. It was simply because she wanted to confirm this that she rushed over so early in the morning. "You’re really willing to follow me back to the Bradshaw family?"

"Isn't this what you've always wanted? n.ove.lx.o Why are you not believing it anymore when I did what you wanted?" Gilbert felt that she was ridiculous as it showed that she was lacking in confidence in herself.

Esther gazed at Gilbert as she tried to read him. It seemed like she was trying to see through him.

However, Gilbert was no longer a teenager. Esther had been in the field of business for a very long time, but she still could not see through him. n.ove.lx.o She did not have confidence because of that, and she was a little worried for some reason.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1376-Both Gilbert and Esther were staring down at each other. Marigold, however, was so stunned that she could not regain her senses for a while.

What did they mean? Gilbert was going to return to the Bradshaw family? He already rejected them earlier, didn't he?

She wanted to ask him, but she felt it was not the right time to ask. She had no choice but to hold it in and ask him after Esther left.

' Alright. Since you're willing to return to the Bradshaw family, then come home with me." Esther had made up her mind that she was going to take Gilbert home. Even if he had other intentions, it was better to keep him under her nose.

She refused to believe he could pull some tricks that way.

Gilbert had no intention to get up and leave at all. Instead, he said, "There's no need for me to stay with you guys, right? I'll report to Bradshaw Operations tomorrow."

Esther frowned. She was about to say something, but Gilbert beat her to the punch and said, "If you think that won't work, then forget it. I don't want to return to the Bradshaw family that much anyway."

He had a plan. If he could return to the Bradshaw family, it would make his plan go even smoother. If he couldn't, it would not affect his plan much, either. He just had to use a little more time.

"Alright. Let's go with what you said. Report to Bradshaw Operations tomorrow."

In the end, Esther agreed. "But I have to clarify with you first. You will report to Bradshaw Operations, but I won't give you any position in the early stages.

You'll just work under me. I have to first have a look at your ability."

Other than that, she was also afraid that Gilbert would take the opportunity to do something that would harm Bradshaw Operations. Therefore, she would not trust him for the time being.

"Up to you." Gilbert had no opinions about that. He was confident in his abilities.

He was very familiar with the Bradshaw Operations's situation at that moment, so he was confident that he could make Esther trust him in the end.

After Esther was done talking about the business, she finally looked at Marigold.

She and Gilbert weren't married, so Esther felt it wasn't good for them to stay together.

She had no right to meddle in the past, but at that moment, Gilbert was already going to return to the Bradshaw family. Therefore, she felt she had the right to meddle with their relationship.

"How do you plan on dealing with her? The Bradshaw family would not accept a useless woman." If Marigold was willing to return to the Wagners and be their heiress, Esther might consider her.

However, judging by the situation at hand, the Wagners did not need her as the heiress, either. Besides, Eshter had always looked down on women who had no backbone. In her opinion, Marigold had no backbone for clinging to Gilbert.

Therefore, she had never liked her since the very beginning. Even after she had given birth to Gilbert's son, Esther still did not quite approve of her. She still felt her son deserved a better woman.

At first, Gilbert looked calm and expressionless. However, his expression immediately changed as soon as he heard what Esther said. "If you dare to do something to her, I'll cut ties with you."

"Would you turn against me because of her?" Esther sneered.

However, Gilbert's expression told her that he was not joking. Therefore, Esther had no choice but to take Marigold seriously.

It looked like she still had to think of a way to separate Gilbert and Marigold. She could not accept her as her daughter-in-law. Also, she felt it wasn't good for Gilbert to care about Marigold so much. A person who wanted to achieve greatness should not have such an obvious weakness.

However, she was not in a hurry to say all this. She would have plenty of chances in the future. At least she had to let Gilbert know how powerful the Bradshaw family was. She believed Gilbert would change his mind as long as there were enough benefits to do so.

"Alright. I don't wish to meddle with your business, either. Remember to report to Bradshaw Operations on time tomorrow." Esther got up and left the villa.

It was after she walked into the distance that Gilbert stopped looking indifferent.

He turned around and saw that Marigold was staring at him.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1377-’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.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1378-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

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1379-The kiss left Gilbert wanting more, but at least it helped suppress his burning urge. He didn't stay in Marigold's room. He truly had no idea what might happen if he continued to stay.

Marigold, on the other hand, calmed down. She was still feeling the buzz at that moment. She didn't care that Gilbert ran away in a wretched manner at all.

After Gilbert left, she immediately grabbed her phone and called Jenny. She had to share the good news with Jenny immediately, no matter what.

As soon as Jenny picked up the call, Marigold hurriedly said, "Jenny, I've won your brother over!"

Even though they were talking over the phone, Jenny could feel Marigold's excitement. "Is that so? Congratulations, my future sister-in-law."

Being called Jenny's future sister-in-law made Marigold feel extra happy.

"How did you do it so quickly? I thought you guys would still need some time to make progress." Jenny felt it was strange. She felt that her brother was not such a straightforward person.

Marigold didn't hide anything from Jenny, so she told her everything that had happened that day. When she mentioned the kiss from earlier, Marigold couldn't help but blush again. She had to admit that Gilbert was a great kisser. He left her wanting more.

Jenny couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard that. "I never expected there would come a day when Gilbert could not hold it in."

It was a pity that she was not there to witness it. If she was in the same room as it happened, she would certainly be shocked beyond measure.

‘ But Jenny, what do you think he meant by what he said? Why did he ask me to give him a little bit of time?" Marigold wasn't confident, so she could only ask Jenny. After all, Jenny and Gilbert had known each other for a long time. She still could not compete with Jenny in terms of how well she knew Gilbert.

Jenny fell silent. Marigold had just told her that Gilbert had agreed to return to the Bradshaw family. Thinking of that, Jenny made a guess and said, "I'm guessing it's probably related to the Bradshaws. Perhaps he wanted to resolve the matters regarding them first before getting together with you.' "Resolve the matters regarding the Bradshaws?' Marigold didn't understand what it meant.

' Mmhmm." Jenny didn't tell her more. Some things would only be a burden to Marigold if Jenny told her about them. "Anyway, don't worry about it too much.

Don't worry, and just wait. After Gilbert has taken care of everything, he will surely give you a satisfactory answer."

Jenny knew Gilbert's character. Those people who tried to kill them yesterday were Eli's men. She knew her brother wouldn't just leave it at that. However, Jenny did not know why he chose to return to the Bradshaw family. However, she had a feeling that the Bradshaw family would no longer know peace.

' Alright. Since you said so, I won't think about it too much. I'll just wait without worrying about it." If Jenny did not reassure her, she really would overthink very easily.

She chatted with Jenny for a little longer before hanging up the call. As she lay in bed, her head was filled with the kiss from earlier.

It was not that they had never kissed before. However, this was the first time that Gilbert was the one who initiated it. To her, the meaning was completely different.

Marigold truly could not sleep. She got up, left the room, and went to Caleb's room next door.

He was already asleep, but Marigold didn't mind. She sat next to his bed and told him everything that had happened that day.

"Cal, your parents are to be together soon. Are you happy?" Marigold looked at the child's face. It seemed like what she had been worried about this whole time would not be happening anymore.

As long as she and Gilbert were together, Caleb would never be a child without a father. In the future, people wouldn't make fun of him. Thinking of that and Gilbert's change. Marigold felt everything was worth it

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1380-That night, Marigold was so happy that she couldn’t sleep. When she woke up the next morning, the dark circles under her eye frightened Gilbert.

' What happened? Were you unwell last night?” he asked with concern. He thought it was because she was not feeling well that she had trouble sleeping.

Marigold was too embarrassed to say she could not sleep because she was too happy. Therefore, she brushed him off by saying, "It's fine. I stayed up too late playing on my phone."

"That's ridiculous. You're no longer allowed to stay up late playing on your phone." Gilbert glared in annoyance. "You heard me?"

"Alright. I got it." Marigold nodded. She thought that he had already started reprimanding her before they got together. It would be worse if they were together, wouldn't it?

However, why did she still feel a little happy about it?

Both of them sat down to have breakfast together. Gilbert would have to leave the villa after breakfast. "Are you going to Bradshaw Operations today?"

Marigold asked.

"Mmhmm." Gilbert nodded.

"The people there would not make things difficult for you, would they?" After all, Gilbert joined the company out of nowhere, so she was a little worried.

Gilbert sneered when he heard that and said without a care, "Don't worry. I can handle it."

He had the details of all the members of the Bradshaw family. He knew everybody's character and dirty secrets very well. It was not an exaggeration to say that nobody from the Bradshaw family would dare to offend him.

Of course, Gilbert would keep a low profile. He had to take his time. In any case, he wasn't in a hurry.

Seeing that he looked so confident. Marigold didn't ask anything else anymore.

’Just be careful.” After breakfast, Gilbert left the villa and went straight to Bradshaw Operations.

Everybody from Bradshaw Operations already knew that Esther's long-lost son would join the company that day. He would not hold any posts for the time being, but everybody knew very well that it was only a matter of time.

Therefore, quite a number of people were looking forward to meeting him in the early morning. He might be the future president of the company, so they had to get on his good books.

At 9.15 am, Gilbert arrived at the entrance of the company on time.

Esther's assistant had been waiting for him at the entrance for a long time.

When he saw him coming, he immediately went up to greet him. "Mr.

Hawthorn, Miss Bradshaw is already waiting for you in her office."

"Mmhmm," Gilbert responded, then entered the elevator with the assistant.

After the two of them left, the crowd started to talk about him.

"Wow! He is too handsome! I'm willing to die if I could be with him!” A girl could not help but exclaim. She thought he would look like Eli. After all, they were brothers. However, it looked like Gilbert was far more handsome.

Another person rolled her eyes at her and said, "Dream on!"

They were just ordinary workers. A talented person like Gilbert, even if he had only been found by the Bradshaw family recently, was destined to be out of their league in this life.

Gilbert followed the assistant to Esther's office. She was quite pleased to see him arriving on time. He was already better than Eli, who had never been to work on time.

"You came at a perfect time. I'm meeting a client in the morning. You'll be my assistant for the day," Esther informed him. Then, she immediately got up and left without giving Gilbert a chance to ask any questions.

Gilbert didn't mind. However, before he left, he still asked the assistant next to him for the client's information. Whether Esther was deliberately assessing him or not, he had to do a perfect job and not give her any chance to find fault with him.

Gilbert followed behind Esther and worked as her assistant for the entire day.

Esther knew Gilbert was very capable, but after she witnessed him working, she learned some people were just born to be capable. It had nothing to do with external factors like training at all.

"It would be great if Gilbert could sincerely come back to the Bradshaw family,"

she lamented internally.
