To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1382

There was a knock at his door, and Gilbert quickly turned his phone off.

Marigold pushed the door open. She felt concerned for him when she saw him at his desk. "Are you still busy? Are the Bradshaws purposely giving you all this work to upset you?"

These days, Gilbert left home early and came back late. He was busier than he had been in his own company.

"No. I'm fine." Gilbert was not fine, but he couldn't tell her that. She would only worry.

Right this moment, a text arrived on his phone. He glanced at it, and anger began ripping through his chest.

It was from Esther. She said that since Gilbert had made his decision, he would have to make Marigold move out of his villa.

Gilbert was furious. He thought that Esther had no business interfering with his matters. However, he suppressed his emotions. He had to take down the Bradshaws. Otherwise, he and Marigold would not live in peace. Since he had a decision made, he had a plan. But Marigold would have to suffer for a while.

There was a moment's silence. Although Gilbert said nothing, Marigold could sense his emotional turmoil. "Did something happen?" she asked.

Gilbert looked up at her. They held their gazes just like that, and after God knew how long, he said, "It's nothing much. It's just that Jenny told me this afternoon that she wants you to take the child and accompany her for a few days. She wants to experience caring for a child for a while."

"What? Is she preparing to have a child with Alec?" Marigold asked.

"Perhaps. Maybe she's not sure if she likes children, so she wants you to take Cal over," Gilbert said calmly. He didn't look as if he were lying at all.
