To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1328

At first, Marigold only wanted to live better for the sake of her child. However, the more she stayed at Gilbert's villa, she couldn't help but start to have some other thoughts.

"Since he agreed to let me stay here, does it mean he didn't despise me as much as he did before?" Marigold wondered hopefully.

With that thought in mind, Marigold became eager to receive treatment; it could even be said that she was enthusiastic. She wanted to stay alive until her child grew up and live until she and Gilbert grew old together.

Gilbert noticed how she'd changed but kept it to himself. He didn't think much about it. He agreed to let Marigold stay with him partly because of the child and partly because of Jenny's intervention. How he regarded Marigold, however, remained mostly unchanged.

Apart from occasionally checking on the child from time to time, he didn't really interact much with Marigold. Most of the time, life remained the same for him. He was busy as ever and wholeheartedly poured all his energy and effort into work.

At 10 pm, Gilbert finished work and returned to the villa. Getting off work at this hour was considered early for a workaholic like him. Upon returning to his villa, he went straight to the child's room. The child was already soundly asleep. He took a peek and quietly left the room.

As he was about to make his way downstairs, Marigold walked out of the adjacent room. "Oh, you're back."

"Yeah," Gilbert replied, "why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I've been asleep for a while but woke up." She woke up due to the sound of Gilbert's car engine, so she didn't get up and take a look.

"Rest early," he said and proceeded to go downstairs.

"Have you had dinner?" Marigold followed him, clearly not intending to return to her room to rest. With that brief exchange of words, they'd already reached the first floor. "Shall I cook you something?"

"No, you should go and rest now. If there's really a need to cook, I should be the one to do it," he replied. Actually, he didn't feel like cooking; he'd rather go hungry.
