To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1334

"Okay." Marigold nodded in agreement. She knew Gilbert was right. She would have many other chances to personally organize such events for her child in the future. But if she were to succumb to illness, she wouldn't be able to witness their child's growth.

Seeing that she no longer insisted, Gilbert felt relieved and got up. Then, he walked toward the kitchen. "Do you want some pasta?"

Marigold was rendered speechless, not quite comprehending his sudden unrelated question.

A little over ten minutes later, Marigold looked at the plate of pasta in front of her, lost in thought.

"Do you skip dinner every day?" She couldn't help but ask. If Gilbert had indeed waited until this late to eat on a daily basis, it was very unhealthy for his body.

Gilbert continued eating his pasta without noticing the flicker of concern in Marigold's eyes. "I'm way too busy with work at the company."

If Marigold hadn't said she was hungry the previous night, he wouldn't have eaten dinner at all. As for tonight...Perhaps it was because he was reminded of last night that he proactively asked about dinner.

"You can't neglect your meals just because you're busy. Your body won't hold up if you don't take care of yourself," Marigold nagged, sounding displeased. "You're not a bachelor anymore; you need to take care of your health."

"Hmm?" Gilbert paused in action, not quite understanding the meaning behind Marigold's words.

With her ears turned slightly red, Marigold hastily averted her gaze. "What I mean is, now that you're a father, you should consider your child even if you don't care about your own wellbeing."

"Oh, I see." With that, Gilbert casually brushed off her concern earlier.

Upon hearing his response, Marigold knew he hadn't really taken her words to heart. She felt helpless but also realized she had no right to dictate what he should do. There was a tinge of bitterness in her heart as she thought of that.

Sometimes, having the right to care for a loved one was a privilege.

After chowing down their pasta, they each returned to their rooms. Gilbert took a shower and lay on the bed, constantly thinking of the child's name.
