There was no way Alec would retreat simply because of his words. Instead, he forcefully broke Gilbert's grip, setting Jenny free. Glaring at him coldly, Alec said, "Since she's your sister, you shouldn't hurt her."

"I'm not—"

"If there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself, Gilbert," Jenny said. She felt tired. Although she wasn't angry at Gilbert, she didn't know how to face him. With that, Alec led Jenny away.

Gilbert stood as still as a statue, even when the car pulled out of sight.

"I told you a long time ago that Jenny wouldn't accept it," Jade said with a sigh, suddenly appearing beside him. She was the first to know that Gilbert liked Jenny, having discovered it when she was in Orchid Village. She had told him a few times to let go of his feelings, but he never listened. Now, look at how things turned out.

Gilbert turned to look at Jade. "Why can't she accept me? We aren't related by blood, and I am not worse than Alec." He didn't understand. Was it because they were siblin

    When Alec was done explaining, Jenny asked nonchalantly, "I just asked where she was. Why are you telling me so much?""I'm afraid you'll misunderstand," Alec admitted with a wry smile.Never had Jenny imagined that there was a timid side to the dignified Mr. Faust. "Well, it's not like we have anything to do with each other, so there's no need to explain to me," she replied. Before Alec could say otherwise, they arrived at their destination, so he had no chance to speak his mind. "We're here."They got out of the car and headed to the exhibition together. Jenny had rejected the idea of going to the movies with Alec to avoid being misunderstood by others. However, as they walked into the venue, many people looked at them. From the looks on their faces, they recognized Alec. Jenny regretted her decision. She wished she had worn a mask."Mr. Faust." Soon, someone came up to say hello to him, seeming rather curious about Jenny. "Is this...your girlfriend?""No, not yet." Alec's

    In the lobby of Perry Residence, Zack glared at Gilbert, who refused to budge an inch. "You really won't go upstairs?" Zack asked. "We're already here. Let's just go up to see Jenny, okay?""She doesn't want to see me." Gilbert didn't tell Zack that he had visited Jenny earlier and how differently she behaved around him."And you won't go to her just because of that?" Exasperated, Zack dragged him into the building. As he tugged on Gilbert's arm, he continued to say, "Hey, you were wrong. How can Jenny forgive you if you don't make the first move? Let me give you some advice. Tell Jenny sincerely that you don't like her anymore, and promise to see her as your younger sister. If you do that, everything will be fine, won't it?"Since the three of them grew up together, Zack hated to see how strained their relationship was. Hence, he tried his best to persuade Gilbert to give up his feelings for Jenny. He also brought him to find Jenny, hoping they could resolve their misgivings. Gil

    Seeing Alec alone in the kitchen, Jenny felt a little sorry. "Please take a seat while I help him out in the kitchen," she told her brothers."Go, go." Zack waved her away. "We're all family. There's no need to be so polite."With that, Jenny left the living room and headed to the kitchen. However, Gilbert's face darkened because of what Zack had just said. "What do you mean? When did Alec become part of our family?""Isn't it a matter of time? Look at them; they're bound to get married again." With a smile, Zack intentionally took a jab at Gilbert's sore spot. He wanted Gilbert to understand that it was impossible for him to be with Jenny."Don't you know how Alec treated Jenny? How can you support him, Zack? Do you really treat Jenny as your sister?" Gilbert scolded. He was already angry the moment he saw Alec in Jenny's house, and Zack's words only added fuel to the fire.Zack shrugged, saying, "She's my sister, so I wish nothing but happiness for her.""Alec can't give her ha

    Alec couldn't be bothered with Gilbert. In the past, he considered Gilbert as a potential threat. However, after the way Jenny reacted to her brother, he was completely at ease. However, since Jenny was around, he couldn't make his dislike of Gilbert too obvious. Hence, he poured Gilbert a glass of wine. "Would you like a drink?""Yeah." Gilbert didn't think that Alec could hold alcohol better than him. The three men downed their glasses while Jenny ate her food. Jenny thought how cozy the moment would've been if Gilbert hadn't done what he did. The three men continued drinking, till the point that they were becoming a little tipsy. Seeing that, she was a little worried. "Stop drinking and have some food," she said, feeling helpless at the sight of them downing glass after glass. However, they insisted on drinking. One might even think that they were in a drinking competition. Jenny then ignored them and headed to the sofa to sketch her designs.An hour later, Alec and Zack black

    Gilbert was stunned as he never thought his feelings had hurt Jenny. "Jenny, I—""Gilbert, I know you never intended to hurt me. But your feelings hurt me. It hurts that they ruined the siblinghood we shared for so many years. Do you understand?" That was the reason why she had avoided Gilbert. She was afraid of the situation she was currently in, afraid that she couldn't even call him her brother. They had spent so many years together, was it all going to end just like that?Gilbert was silent for a while, wearing a pained smile. "That's why you will never like me, right? Even if I don't want this brother-sister relationship?""Yes." Jenny nodded without hesitation, looking him in the eye. "If you give up on our siblinghood, it will only make me hate you." She didn't want things to evolve to that state. Gilbert sighed as if he had resigned to his fate. "I know.""So, what is your choice?" Jenny asked warily, afraid that Gilbert would still insist on pursuing her. If he did, what

    Gilbert didn't stay at Jenny's house that night. After watching him leave with Zack in a taxi, Jenny returned to her apartment. The sight of Alec still sprawled across the table gave her a headache."Alec?" Jenny walked over to him and shoved him, but he didn't respond. "If you can't drink, why did you drink so much?" she grumbled. Then, she helped him up and brought him to the guest room.She wanted to help him back to his condo, but unfortunately, she didn't have the keys to his house. After finally getting him inside her guest room, she threw him hard on the bed. However, due to inertia, Jenny ended up on the bed, pressing on Alec's body. Finding herself in that awkward situation, she let out a loud squawk. He was so close that the sound of his breathing rang in her ears, causing Jenny to blush.She was grateful that Alec was asleep. Otherwise, he might even accuse her of molesting him. With that in mind, she was about to get up from the bed, but someone grabbed her wrist suddenl

  • To Be Yours Again   Chapter 259 Pretending to Be a Gentleman

    When Alec woke up in Jenny's house the next day, his mind was still flooded with last night's memories. The thought of the kiss made him smile goofily. He reached out and touched his lips as if he could still feel Jenny's warm lips. He heard a voice from outside the door; it was probably Jenny. Without hesitating, he quickly got up from bed and opened the door to see her in the living room. When their eyes met, neither spoke, and they began blushing hard, especially Jenny.Glaring at Alec angrily, she said, "The toiletries are in the bathroom. I happened to have some extra lying around, so you can use them."Nobody of the opposite gender had stayed overnight in her house, not even Gilbert and Zack. Who knew Alec would be the first?"Thank you." Alec nodded. He turned and walked into the bathroom.Outside the guest room, Jenny silently cursed him for pretending to be a gentleman. After last night…Jenny sighed at the thought. Smacking her forehead, she told herself not to think a

    "Zack," Gilbert called, his voice heavy. "I may have to leave for a while. I believe you'll take good care of Jenny when I'm gone, right?"Zack froze in his tracks and instantly turned to look at him. "Leave? Where are you going?""I need to attend to matters regarding my company's overseas business. I'm going to investigate them."Hearing that, Zack rolled his eyes at him. "Oh, a business trip! I thought you were planning to leave for good.""There are a lot of things going on over there, so I may not be back so soon," Gilbert elaborated.Zack, who was in the middle of sighing in relief, instantly frowned. Studying Gilbert, he realized he was serious. He jerked upright and snarled, "Why are you doing this? You're trying to escape!" He was not stupid. Since Gilbert suddenly wanted to leave, there was only one reason. Zack assumed it was because he never resolved things with Jenny. "Maybe." Gilbert didn't deny it. "If I remain here, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my feelin

    That afternoon, Gilbert called off his engagement to the Silveras. He did not pick up a single one of Lottie's calls. When he found Marigold, she was taking Caleb on a stroll around the neighborhood. It had been a while since she'd taken notice of anything related to Gilbert. She suddenly felt how nice it was to have her mental energy spent somewhere else, no longer being so hung up on that man. However, when Gilbert appeared before her, her heartbeat quickened. "Why are you here?" Marigold said, snapping out of her reverie. Gilbert smiled lightly. Without saying much else, he pulled her into an embrace. "Didn't you say that I could come to see you once everything is settled?" Marigold was stunned. She was in disbelief. "So, what you're saying is it's all over?" "Didn't you read the news?" Gilbert was speechless. "No. I didn't want to care." Every time she saw anything about Gilbert and Lottie, she felt miserable. She'd rather save herself the pain and block out anything

    In the end, Esther went with Gilbert's suggestion. However, she did not trade Bradshaw Operation's projects with Jenny. She went with the Silveras. For one, she did not trust the Walters. On the other hand, the Silveras and the Bradshaws were going to be united through marriage. They deserved to be trusted more. Gilbert didn't mind. After all, if anything happened to the Bradshaws, the Silveras would not help. With those projects in hand, they would only fall further into debt. The plan was going smoothly. Gilbert had not gone to see Marigold once. He knew that before subduing the Bradshaws, going to visit Marigold would only endanger her. After all, Marigold was safe. Nothing had happened, and Caleb was growing up healthily. One month later, things began to feel off in Bradshaw Operations. After Faust Group received their money, they did not start the project. No one knew what they were doing. Esther was feeling antsy. She prodded Gilbert to ask if there was anything wro

    That very afternoon, Esther and Gilbert rushed to Faust Group to sign the deal. Gilbert said he was worried that Alec would change his mind, so he urged Esther to sign it. Only through a written contract would they be able to relax. Esther thought it made sense and agreed to rush to Faust Group with Gilbert.In the meeting room, Alec looked at the two people before him, expressionless. "You have a good son, Mrs. Bradshaw." "I'm flattered. My son had Bradshaw Operations' interests at heart. He'll inevitably be a little insensitive. Please don't hold that against him, Mr. Faust." Esther smiled. She didn't mind Alec's sarcasm because it didn't matter. As long as Bradshaw Operations could truly benefit from this, she didn't care how much Alec mocked her. Alec smiled coldly and slid the contract over to her. "You may flip through it." Esther took it and read through it seriously.If this project succeeded, they would reap massive rewards. However, it required a massive upfront inv

    In the following days, Gilbert headed over to Faust Group infrequently during the day. To others, he was there to talk business with Alec. But in reality, it was a different scenario altogether. Vincent brought Gilbert a cup of coffee in Alec's office. Because of all the times he'd been there, Vincent knew what he wanted without having to ask. Alec had a cup of coffee placed before him, too. Everyone thought that Gilbert was trying to convince Alec to give him one of the shares, which was why he always came there, but that was not the case. The collaboration was a set-up. As long as the Bradshaws signed the deal on the project, they would not escape unscathed. Gilbert had planned this for a long time just to trick the Bradshaws into accepting the project. However, the scheme had to be executed perfectly. Since Gilbert buttered up the project in front of the Bradshaws, Alec had to feign disinterest in his collaboration. Otherwise, it would seem suspicious if Alec, a smart ma

    After the engagement party, Gilbert officially had a stronghold in Bradshaw operations. Because he was already very capable, he had a lot of supporters. No one challenged him in the company. Most of them sucked up to him because they knew that if things went well, he would be the heir of the company.Gilbert didn't really care about that. He didn't even want to be there for long. He knocked on Esther's door and walked into her office."Come, sit." Esther was all smiles when she saw him. It was more sincere than before.She used to doubt him a lot, but now, although she still had her reservations, she mostly believed in him. In her eyes, no one would reject the chance to inherit Bradshaw Operations. This was basically manna from Heaven. Gilbert just didn't know it back then, and now he did. Gilbert sat down in front of Esther and began reporting the information he had gathered, as well as his thoughts on Bradshaw Operations and his plans for the future.When he presented the inf

    Gilbert and Lottie's engagement party was held at Bardoff Grand Hotel on Saturday.A ton of people showed up to their engagement party. After all, the Bradshaws and the Silveras were pretty big names in Bardoff City, and plenty of the other families knew of their true wealth. They all came to attend the party. Jenny and Alec had both received invites. Jenny was Gilbert's sister, and on top of that, they represented the Walters and the Fausts. It was to be expected. At first, Jenny didn't want to go. The party held no meaning to it. It was just a show put on for Esther. It would be a complete waste of her time. However, she was talked into it by Alec. It would be weird if she didn't go. Zack brought Janet to the party. He found Jenny and was in a daze. "Wasn't Gilbert courting Marigold? Why is he engaged to Lottie?" Jenny rolled her eyes. "What have you been doing, Zack? You're really bad at keeping up." Gilbert had been courting Lottie for a while now. If Zack paid attention

    Gilbert drove to Jenny's villa, but he was in no rush to get down. He didn't unlock the doors, either. He obviously wanted to talk to Marigold. But Marigold evidently didn't want to. "I want to take my child and leave." She was afraid. What if Gilbert and Lottie married and took her child away? She no longer believed in love. The only thing she believed in was her child. Gilbert tightened his grip when he heard that. "Marigold, the engagement is only for Esther to see. I have no feelings for Lottie." "Who knows? People change. You said you didn't have feelings for me, too." Marigold found this all very amusing. Perhaps this was fate. Gilbert wanted to keep explaining, but Marigold did not give him the chance to. "Just let me and Caleb leave. If what you say is true, you can come to find us once everything is over." And if Gilbert didn't come looking for her, the truth would unfold itself, and she would give up all hope. Gilbert understood that Marigold had already made

    Marigold was miserable throughout dinner, but she persevered till the end without being too dramatic. After dinner, they walked to the entrance of the shopping mall.Gilbert went to get the car. Lottie stood with Jenny and Marigold. Watching Gilbert leave, she turned toward Marigold. "I heard that you used to like Gilbert very much." "It's all in the past. It's not worth mentioning." Marigold didn't want to talk about it. She was afraid that Lottie would see that she still liked Gilbert. Most importantly, she was afraid that Gilbert's plan would be ruined. Lottie smiled. "That's true. The past is the past. You're such a nice person. You'll definitely be able to find someone better suited for you in the future." Marigold pursed her lips. Gilbert soon brought the car over. Lottie was about to get into the car, but before she did, she suddenly turned to Marigold and said, "Gilbert and my engagement party will be in a few days' time. If you have the time, you're more than welcom

    Everyone was shocked to hear her speak so suddenly. Lottie was stunned, and she explained, "You've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just think that if the child follows his father, it'll help him develop better, and you'll be less stressed." "I don't need your concern. I can raise my child alone," Marigold snorted. She did not hold back at all. Lottie looked unpleasant. Gilbert had no choice but to step in. "We'll have our own child together. And whoever likes it the most will get to keep it." Although they knew that Gilbert had meant this for Lottie to hear, Marigold found it extremely upsetting. She looked at Gilbert, and for a moment, she was unable to tell if he was being genuine. She thought of all that Gilbert had said to her last night, saying that he didn't like Lottie and had no intention of marrying her. But he looked to be truly in love. Marigold didn't think she could tell if he was faking it. "I'm sorry. I need to go to the restroom." Marigold didn't w
