For the next few days, Marigold stayed in Jenny's house. Gilbert had not come to visit once. It made her notice that something was amiss.But every time she thought of it, Jenny would comfort her and say that she was sending Gilbert pictures of Caleb every day, which was why Gilbert didn't come to see him.Although Marigold knew that something was up, she didn't press on. She believed that Jenny would not hurt her. If she still held a grudge about what happened the last time, she would have taken her revenge long ago. She would not have waited until now.But Gilbert's non-appearance was still making her worried.Her worries quickly became a reality. She soon found out on the Internet.That day, she was going through her phone after a play session with Caleb. Suddenly, a news article appeared on her main page. "Bradshaw Operations Heir's Rumored Marriage with the Silveras."Bradshaw Operations heir?The headline attracted her attention. If she was not mistaken, Gilbert was the
"Say something, Marigold. Don't scare me." Jenny was panicking now. Marigold looked upset, yet she was saying nothing, which greatly concerned Jenny. She didn't know what was happening, but because of this, she was very worried.Marigold scoffed. She didn't want to beat around the bush. "You didn't make me come here because you wanted to see Caleb, did you?""Marigold…""It was Gilbert's idea, wasn't it? He wanted to marry the Silveras, so he got an excuse to send me away, didn't he?" Marigold felt as though she had seen through everything.Jenny's face grew solemn. When news of the Bradshaws and Silvera's marriage came out, Gilbert had gotten someone to delete them immediately for fear of Marigold seeing them. They had done this for the past few days, and it was a pretty good trick. However, she still saw it.She placed a hand on Marigold's shoulder and said, "Marigold, do you think my brother is the type to fall in love easily?"Marigold said nothing. Her emotions were in turmo
In the Bradshaws' villa, Esther looked at Gilbert with conflicting emotions. Her son was brilliant. Although she hadn't given him much authority, some board members had already suggested training him to be the successor. She used to worry about convincing them to accept him, but she seemed to have worried for nothing. But for whatever reason, the more brilliant he was, the less bold she was. She couldn't help feeling troubled."How are things between you and Lottie lately?" Esther asked."Pretty good," he answered. In truth, he hated her. However, he hadn't expressed it. Lottie didn't sense it, and Esther naturally wouldn't, either.Esther nodded in satisfaction. The Silveras were like the Bradshaws. They were considered to be of the same social standing. On top of that, Lottie seemed nice, which was why Esther had chosen her.However, she still felt worried."Why is the news about you and Lottie deleted? Was that your doing?" Esther's gaze sharpened. She stared at Gilbert as
At night, Gilbert drove to his villa. He got out of the car and went straight to his room. Then, he took out his phone and called Jenny. When Jenny called him earlier, Esther was right in front of him. He did not pick up for fear of arousing her suspicions, which was why he had waited to come home before calling her back. She picked up quickly. Gilbert learned that Marigold already knew about everything, and instantly, he felt a headache coming. "Alright. I'm coming right now. Keep an eye on her. Don't let her leave the house." Gilbert knew that it was dangerous for Marigold to be alone right now. Esther had not given up on targeting her. It was only because she was in Jenny's house that the woman had no chance to strike. After the call, Gilbert went downstairs. But before he got to the door, he paused in his footsteps. If Esther was suspicious of him, she would undoubtedly have someone spying on him. If he went to Jenny's place, it would further increase her doubt. It was no
When Marigold heard that Gilbert was not just thinking for himself but also for her and their child, for some reason, she stopped being angry. She looked at him, unable to imagine how hard it had been on him. She sighed and said, "Even so, you should have just told me everything. Did you think I'd blame you?" She didn't like being lied to."I was worried that you'd overthink things," Gilbert answered. Marigold looked at him, her lips curling upward. "Overthink about what? Why would I do that? We don't seem to have anything going on between us." Sure, they had their romantic moments, but neither of them had really cut through the fog between them. In other words, they were nothing to each other at all. Regardless of whether Gilbert wanted to or not, Marigold had no right to demand an explanation from him. "Just give me some more time, Marigold. Wait for me to settle the Bradshaws." It wasn't that Gilbert didn't want to take their relationship to the next level. It was that he d
When Jenny and Alec returned to the villa, Marigold and Gilbert were done talking. On top of that, they seemed cozier with each other. Jenny knew that Gilbert had successfully convinced Marigold. "Gilbert," she said, walking in and interrupting them. Marigold blushed at once. Gilbert was embarrassed, too. "I'm going to have to trouble you to take care of them for a while longer." "Don't worry, Gilbert. Nothing will happen to them as long as I'm around." No one dared to stir trouble on her turf. So what if the Bradshaws were capable? Could they withstand the force of the Ten Elites if they joined forces? Jenny could get quite a few of the Ten Elites to team up. The Bradshaws were no match for them. Gilbert knew it was safest for Marigold and Caleb to be with Jenny. Hence, he didn't dawdle. "I'd better head back. Someone is spying on my villa. I'm afraid of something happening." Although he thought it was unlikely, it was better to be on his guard. "Alright. Get Alec to
Alec didn't know what else to say to Gilbert. He knew that Marigold would not be okay with it, so why didn't he just tell her everything? Was he going to keep on lying to her until she found out about things herself again? Would she be so easily comforted the next time it happened?"I think you should give her a heads up so she'll be more prepared." If he did, Marigold would know about Gilbert's scheme, and while she would still feel uncomfortable, she wouldn't be too angry about it. But if he didn't and kept on lying to her, all the comforting he had done today wouldn't matter. Marigold would still feel cheated, and he would have a much harder time appeasing her. Gilbert understood what Alec was saying. However, he'd finally convinced Marigold that he was doing all this for her and the little one. How could she accept it if he told her that he was going to get engaged to someone else? "I haven't thought about how to break it to her." Gilbert looked tired, which was rare, in fro
In a crucial situation like this, Jenny didn't want to leave Marigold and the child alone. "It's okay. I'll stay here to be with you two. The hospital will be fine."Marigold wanted to say more, but she knew that she wouldn't be able to change Jenny's decision. She could only thank her.Jenny was worried that Marigold would overthink at home, so she decided to take her shopping. She was a woman, after all. They could shop her frustrations away. Marigold didn't object to it. She was thinking of bringing Caleb out for a spin. The driver brought them to the mall. A bodyguard and a nanny kept close to them. Since Caleb didn't need to be personally attended to by them, it was a relatively relaxing shopping experience. "Let's get some clothes for Caleb," Jenny said. Marigold didn't refuse. She wanted to buy some things for Caleb to eat and play with, so she went into the baby section with Jenny. They bought a load of stuff for the child. Jenny saw that Marigold wanted to keep goi
