To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1342

Knock, knock.

Gilbert had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when he heard someone knock on his door. He opened the door and saw Marigold standing there. She had changed into a light pink nightgown. With her fair long legs exposed, beauty seemed to radiate from within her.
