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
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 won't accept it." He made his stance clear. For one, he didn't think t
"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 rig
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
