To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1341

While she was lost in her own thoughts, Gilbert walked into the restaurant and headed straight toward the three of them.

"Gilbert's here," Jenny spoke up. Marigold instantly snapped out of her daze and looked at the object of her affection, who had just arrived.

"Jenny," Gilbert greeted Jenny with a nod and looked at Marigold. "How did the health check go?"

"Everything is fine," Marigold answered with a smile. She still felt a bit nervous in front of him. Gilbert didn't pay much attention to that. He took a seat next to her naturally.

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes, and the four of them ate and chatted.

When the topic shifted to the upcoming naming ceremony for Caleb, there was no shortage of conversation among them, even Gilbert surprisingly had a lot to say. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Jenny could tell that he genuinely adored his child.

After dinner, the four of them parted ways. "We'll head back now."

"Okay, drive safe," Gilbert reminded, watching Jenny and Alec get into the car and drive away. Once their car was some distance away, he said to Marigold, "Get in the car."

"Okay." Marigold walked toward the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in.

Inside the car, they fell into an awkward silence.

"Sorry for interrupting your work." After a while, Marigold finally plucked up enough courage to speak up.

Gilbert furrowed his brow, seemingly not understanding why she was apologizing. "Why would you say that?"

"It's because of me that Jenny called you. If it weren't for me—"

"It has nothing to do with you, and besides, having a meal doesn't disrupt my work that much." Although he was indeed busy when Jenny called him, it didn't mean he would blame Marigold for it. He wasn't an unreasonable tyrant who blamed everything on others.

Seeing that he didn't seem to blame her, Marigold breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you going back to work?"

It was only 8 pm. Judging from his usual working hours, he might still have pending work waiting for him at his company.

"That won't be necessary."
