To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1366

Before she managed to touch the necklace, Gilbert grabbed her hand and said, "Just leave it on. It looks very good on you."

"But…"

"Since you're going to be my date for the party, just do as I say, alright?" Gilbert looked at her, and his tone was unusually gentle.

Marigold regained her senses. She thought he made sense after giving it a thought. It was probably because Gilbert didn't want her to embarrass him at the party that he chose such a huge diamond necklace. At the thought of that, it seemed like this logic made sense.

She no longer had the intention to take it off anymore. She wanted to shake Gilbert's hand off but realized she could not succeed. "I'm not going to take it down. Let go of me."

Upon hearing that, Gilbert let go of her hand with slight embarrassment. After a brief moment of awkwardness, he said, "Let's go. It's almost time for us to leave."

"Alright." Marigold's cheeks were flushed. She nodded and followed Gilbert. Her dress was a little long, so she could only walk out of the villa slowly while holding up her dress.

Seeing her walking like that, Gilbert immediately carried her in his arms.

"Ah! What are you doing?" Marigold was shocked. She didn't expect Gilbert would do that at all.

At the same time, Gilbert had already carried Marigold to the car, opened the front passenger door, and placed her on the seat. "This will save us time."

With her cheeks flushed, Marigold wanted to say something. In the end, however, she still didn't manage to say it. Gilbert was right. She could not waste his time.

Soon, Gilbert started the car and drove to the venue of the party. Both of them said nothing in the car. It was a little awkward.

Fortunately, the venue was not too far away, so they arrived very soon.
