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
"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?"Marig
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 tho
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.Marigo
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?" Marigo
The Bradshaws quickly recognized Gilbert's abilities. Esther was planning on observing him a little more, but it seemed redundant now. She got Gilbert into her office and said, "Everyone in this company has acknowledged your skills. Hence, I shall try and let you be in charge of this project."Gilbert was expressionless and didn't react much. It was as if everything was within his expectations."However, if you want to take over the Bradshaws, your wife cannot be a nobody. She has to match your status, at least." Esther looked at him. As expected, his face turned sour at the mention of it. She wasn't surprised and went on, "You needn't answer me at once. You can think about it on your own. But I hope that you will make the right decision." In the end, if Gilbert didn't shake Marigold off, Esther would not entrust the Bradshaws to him. If he didn't get rid of her, that would mean he wasn't standing on the Bradshaws' side. Even if he was capable, she would not dare to trust him. Gi
There was a knock at his door, and Gilbert quickly turned his phone off.Marigold pushed the door open. She felt concerned for him when she saw him at his desk. "Are you still busy? Are the Bradshaws purposely giving you all this work to upset you?"These days, Gilbert left home early and came back late. He was busier than he had been in his own company."No. I'm fine." Gilbert was not fine, but he couldn't tell her that. She would only worry.Right this moment, a text arrived on his phone. He glanced at it, and anger began ripping through his chest.It was from Esther. She said that since Gilbert had made his decision, he would have to make Marigold move out of his villa. Gilbert was furious. He thought that Esther had no business interfering with his matters. However, he suppressed his emotions. He had to take down the Bradshaws. Otherwise, he and Marigold would not live in peace. Since he had a decision made, he had a plan. But Marigold would have to suffer for a while.Ther
Marigold moved to Jenny's house the next day.Jenny and Alec's married home was a villa that was not too big. Alec said it felt more like home, and Jenny didn't have an opinion about it. The only space they'd need was really just the bed, regardless of the size of the house.However, because the villa was not that large, it wasn't ideal for Marigold, her child, and the nanny to live in. There was a man in the house, after all. With no other choice, Jenny had to get Alec to sleep in another house.Alec was grumpy about it. He only relented after Jenny promised to have a child with him once this Gilbert and Marigold ordeal was over.That was right. After seeing Gilbert's child, Alec felt for the first time that children weren't that bad after all. In fact, they might even look really cute. Though, of course, it would have to be his and Jenny's child."I'm sorry for bothering you, Jenny." Marigold was embarrassed when she knew that Alec had to move out.Jenny waved her hands quick
