To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1338

Soon, Marigold emerged from the fitting room wearing a red cocktail dress. Due to her illness, her complexion hadn't been great. The vibrant color of the dress somehow brought some color back to her skin, making her look less washed out.

"How does it look?" Marigold asked cautiously. She couldn't remember the last time she'd worn such a glaringly red dress.

"It looks great. This is the one," Jenny commented with an appreciative nod.

"But...isn't it too red?" Marigold wondered if wearing red might be too flashy for a baby's naming ceremony.

Just as Jenny was about to speak, someone beat her to it. "How funny. One would think you're a hooker in that striking red dress."

Hearing the voice, both Jenny and Marigold turned their heads. Jenny frowned as she didn't recognize the person, but Marigold called out, "Eleanor!"

Eleanor Wagner was the second daughter of the Wagner family. If it weren't for Marigold, she would have been the most prominent daughter of the Wagner family. Hence, she had always targeted her since their childhood. However, Marigold had never been afraid of her because she had Paul backing her up.

Eleanor was eager to step all over Marigold as she'd heard of the latter's voluntary disassociation from the Wagners. On top of that, Marigold hadn't returned to the Wagner residence for an extended period of time. So, she didn't pose much of a threat to Eleanor at the moment.

"Aren't you shameless? Giving birth out of wedlock is one thing, but moving into that man's house without any status or name is unacceptable! You're embarrassing not only yourself but also our family!" After a slight pause, she added, "It's no wonder Father didn't like you. You're truly disgusting." Eleanor crossed her arms, proudly raising her chin as if speaking to someone inferior.

Marigold wasn't one to back down. Although she didn't want trouble, it didn't mean she was a pushover. Staring at Eleanor for a moment, she sneered, "He did like you, but it's a pity he didn't take you away with him."

"Marigold!" Eleanor was furious and raised her hand, intending to strike.

Jenny, who had been observing the situation from the side, couldn't just stand by. She stood up in a flash and grabbed Eleanor's wrist. "How dare you raise your hand against my sister-in-law?"
