Jenny wanted to laugh when Lottie called Gilbert "Bert." She had no idea how Gilbert was keeping it together.
She said nothing, looking at Gilbert.
Gilbert's gaze was gentle. He looked at Lottie as if she were his lover. "I'm fine with anything. You can decide."
"Let's have a meal together, Miss Walter." Lottie invited Jenny after getting permission from Gilbert.
Jenny hadn't wanted to agree because she was afraid of spoiling Gilbert's plans. But she could feel that Lottie was glancing at Marigold from time to time and sensed that she was challenging her. Jenny smirked. "Alright. But I'll have to bring a plus one."
"That's perfectly fine." Lottie didn't ask if it would be Marigold. To her, Marigold didn't seem worth mentioning. But was that really true? If it were, Lottie wouldn't be looking at Marigold.
She obviously wanted to know what Gilbert and Marigold's relationship was like, and her invitation was just to show off in front of Marigold.
Lottie and Gilbert walked out of the boutique. Gilbert had not glanced at Marigold once. She knew that he was just acting, but she still felt miserable.
When they walked out, Jenny finally looked at Marigold. "Let's go. Someone's treating us."
"I'm not going, Jenny. I'll take Caleb home. You can go." Marigold truly didn't want to see Gilbert and Lottie being affectionate to each other.
But Jenny did not agree to that. She pulled at her. "Marigold, if you go now, it means that you're afraid, and you'll lose the battle. Ignore my brother's behavior. Right now, you can't lose to Lottie. Do you understand?"

Loved the novel!! Hated the ending. It felt rushed to get it finished. I hope there is a sequel. There is a ton of potential for one....
The adds are getting worse! I shouldn't have to see porn to read a book...
