To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1345

Even if they weren't married, as long as they stood together, no one would dare to speculate and gossip about the nature of their relationship. By doing so, naturally, no one would make fun of Marigold's awkward status.

At the moment, anyone could see that they were clearly not fond of each other, and people would inevitably gossip about their weird relationship behind their backs. Those gossips would then extend to their child.

With Jenny's reminder, Marigold suddenly realized she'd been careless and didn't think things through. "I didn't consider the matter carefully enough."

Immediately, she stood beside Gilbert with a smile on her face. No matter how distant they were at home, when they were in public, they had to pretend that their relationship was amicable. It was just that they didn't get married.

Seeing her come to this realization, Jenny felt relieved.

Jenny wanted to ask Gilbert what he thought of Marigold presently, but given the special circumstances that day and the sheer number of people present, she thought it was not the right time for her to approach him about this. She would find another time to talk to him about it.

After Jenny and Alec entered the hall and found their seats, they discovered that Zack and Janet had already arrived ahead of them.

"Jenny, you're late," Zack said.

Jenny glanced at him and teased, "Hey, Zack. Ever since you got married, I rarely see you around. Have you abandoned me, your sister, because you have a wife now?"

Janet's cheeks turned red, and she glared at Zack in annoyance.

She had no idea Zack was purposely keeping to themselves. She'd previously mentioned inviting Jenny and the others over for a meal, but Zack said it was troublesome, and their relationship was good enough that they didn't need to keep in touch so frequently unless something big came up.

Janet didn't understand these things, nor did she believe there was any relationship in this world that didn't require any form of upkeeping and maintenance. So now, when she heard Jenny's words, she was unable to register the fact that Jenny was just joking and took it literally.

"I'm sorry, Jenny. It's all my fault—"

"Why are you apologizing, silly?" Zack interrupted her. "She was joking."
