To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1362

As he watched Eli leave, Octavius' gaze dimmed, bearing a hint of disdain. Even his son refused to respect him.

If Gilbert could ruin the Bradshaws, it would be a good thing for Octavius.

…

Gilbert knew nothing about what was happening in the Bradshaws. He was already in his villa. It wasn't very late when he returned, but Caleb was already asleep. He didn't go to bother him. At first, he thought Marigold had already fallen asleep. But then, when he passed her room, her door was ajar, and her lights were on. She was obviously still not asleep.

He knocked.

Marigold got up. She was surprised to see Gilbert at the door. He would never go to see her after work.

"You're back. Are you hungry?" Marigold asked.

"I had dinner," Gilbert answered, reminding her of what had happened.

Marigold smiled lightly and nodded. "I know. But you've worked for so long after dinner. You might be hungry again."

"I'm not a glutton," Gilbert said, speechless. He didn't have such a huge appetite.

"Nothing happened, right?" Marigold remembered Gilbert's father coming to see him when she left. She couldn't help being worried. Based on Gilbert's attitude toward his mother, he wouldn't be good to his father, either. She was worried that they would argue and Gilbert would end up suffering losses.

However, her worries were unnecessary.

Gilbert looked at her, his gaze falling on her lips. "Are you worried about me?"

Marigold was stunned, bewildered by his words. She looked up, meeting his unabashed gaze.

She froze.

What was this?
