To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1386

In the Bradshaws' villa, Esther looked at Gilbert with conflicting emotions. Her son was brilliant. Although she hadn't given him much authority, some board members had already suggested training him to be the successor.

She used to worry about convincing them to accept him, but she seemed to have worried for nothing.

But for whatever reason, the more brilliant he was, the less bold she was. She couldn't help feeling troubled.

"How are things between you and Lottie lately?" Esther asked.

"Pretty good," he answered. In truth, he hated her. However, he hadn't expressed it. Lottie didn't sense it, and Esther naturally wouldn't, either.

Esther nodded in satisfaction. The Silveras were like the Bradshaws. They were considered to be of the same social standing. On top of that, Lottie seemed nice, which was why Esther had chosen her.

However, she still felt worried.

"Why is the news about you and Lottie deleted? Was that your doing?" Esther's gaze sharpened. She stared at Gilbert as if wanting to pierce through him.

Gilbert looked right back at her. Although he knew that she was suspicious of him, he did not show his fear. "It was."

"Why would you do that?" Esther was taken aback by his straightforward admission. She thought that he would deny it. If he did, she would have suspected that he had other motives. But now, he was admitting to it.

"The Bradshaws have always been on the down low. I don't think news like marriage should be leaked to the masses. I've discussed this with Lottie, and she thinks the same way." Gilbert had prepared his answer. He wasn't afraid of Esther asking him about it.

Indeed, Esther didn't think too much of it. "Very impressive of you to consider that. The Bradshaws have survived for so long because of how reserved we are."

That was why she looked down on the Ten Elites. She thought they were fools, airing out all their dirty laundry, inviting scrutiny and attention. It was not beneficial toward growth.

"If you and Lottie find each other compatible, we will confirm the wedding," Esther said.
