To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1348

"I don't care about that at all," Gilbert said after a moment. He knew it was hard for Marigold to give birth to Caleb and that her body had not yet recovered. However, it did not mean that he would be with her.

Love wasn't as simple as that.

"Well, do you have anyone you like?" Zack asked.

Gilbert shook his head.

Zack slapped his thigh and said, "Since you don't have any other crushes, what's wrong with trying this one out? What if you guys are compatible with each other? This would be a win-win situation. Caleb aside, you could give Marigold a chance. Do you really want Caleb to have another parent?"

Zack felt that since Gilbert had no one else in mind, trying to make things work with Marigold wasn't such a bad idea. If he fell in love with her, that would be a good thing.

Gilbert began doubting himself once he heard Zack's reasoning. On second thought, that seemed to be the case. He couldn't help thinking about the dream he had a few days ago. He coughed dryly. "We'll talk about this at a later time. I'm not in the mood to discuss this."

Zack's eyes lit up. He thought there was hope yet.

Meanwhile, Jenny had just heard from Marigold about what had happened before and understood why they were so upset. She looked at Marigold with conflicted emotions and said, "Although I want you to be assertive, that's not the way to do it. No one would be able to take it."

Marigold was just a little too assertive. Even if Gilbert was interested in her, her actions could scare him away.

"Well, what should I do, then?" Marigold was miserable these few days. She felt that she was being assertive enough, yet she was not reaping any rewards.
