When Jenny met Paul, he had already ordered a cup of coffee for himself, as if he was confident she would come."Okay, what's the matter?" Jenny sat down across from him. Not in the mood to talk, she was eagerly waiting for their conversation to end so she could return to lunch.Paul glanced at her. He wasn't put off by her attitude. After all, the two of them had always been like that, as they couldn't stand each other. After taking a sip of coffee, he asked, "Did you know that Marigold is pregnant?"Jenny was taken aback. "I do.""You knew?" Paul frowned."Well, when she visited me in the morning, she told me she had a headache. However, she refused a brain CT scan because she was pregnant, so I prescribed some painkillers for her." Jenny didn't think she had any reason to hide it from Paul.The revelation shocked Paul, and it took him a while to recover. "That idiot!" he thought. She did that for her child? A child that its father wouldn't accept. Paul couldn't understand wh
"Even if she likes Gilbert, it doesn't prove the child is his, right? If it is his, don't you think he would acknowledge the child?" Jenny didn't believe Gilbert was so heartless. However, Paul seemed amused by her words. "You know best how Gilbert is. If he doesn't like a woman, would he marry her? I bet Gilbert would force Marigold to abort the child if he finds out she's pregnant."Jenny was about to say that it was impossible, but thinking about it carefully, she knew it was very likely. Chewing on her lip, she was at a loss for words. After a long silence, she finally asked, "So, what do you want?" Regardless of whether it was true, she had to figure out what Paul was after."It's simple. I want Gilbert to marry Marigold. He must be responsible for his actions." He wasn't trying to cause trouble for Gilbert. However, since Marigold insisted on giving birth to the child, the least he could do was ensure that the child would have a father.Jenny frowned again. She couldn't ma
"Marigold is pregnant." Jenny didn't hide it from Evan. She didn't think there was a need to, as everyone would know sooner or later.The revelation stunned Evan. Uncertain, he asked, "Is the child Gilbert's?""Yeah." Jenny nodded.Evan found it rather unbelievable. When he finally recovered from the shock, he asked Jenny, "Gilbert probably doesn't know yet, right?"If he knew, he wouldn't be so calm."Not yet. I don't know if I should tell him." She was even more uncertain about how to break the news to Gilbert.However, Jenny knew that Gilbert had to know. In fact, she agreed with Paul that Gilbert should marry Marigold. She wouldn't have been bothered if Gilbert and Marigold had only slept together. After all, they were both adults. However, with a child in the picture, everything had changed. Evan seemed to understand her dilemma. "Gilbert probably won't marry Marigold. He won't, whether there's a child or not.""Do you think that if he knew, he would ask Marigold to abort
After a brief silence, Jade finally said, "Why don't you talk to Gilbert about it? What if he agrees? He's not young anymore, so he must have thought about getting married a long time ago."In Jade's opinion, Gilbert was still not married because no one was bugging him about it, as his grandfather had passed away, and he was an orphan too.Jenny also understood that she had to tell Gilbert about the pregnancy, whether he wanted to hear it or not. They had to find a solution to the problem.After hanging up, Jenny called Zack. "Zack, did you already know about Gilbert and Marigold?"Now that she was aware, it finally struck her how many holes there were in Gilbert's story. Hence, she assumed that Zack also knew.Hearing her accusation, Zack instinctively felt defensive. "Jenny, I didn't intend to keep it from you, but Gilbert told me not to tell you.""Are you just going to do whatever he tells you to do?" Jenny was exasperated. If Marigold weren't pregnant, she wouldn't be worr
"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 won't 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
They soon arrived at 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 f
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
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. Sh
