Chapter 205 Don’t Put Yourself in Danger
Gilbert’s back tensed up when he heard Zach’s words. He looked at him in disbelief and asked, “Zach, what are you trying to say?”
He couldn’t believe that Zach might know about his secret. He had been trying to keep it hidden from everyone, even Jenny, so how could Zach possibly know? Gilbert’s heart was pounding; he didn’t know how to react. Should he admit the truth or deny it?
Zach noticed Gilbert’s anxious expression and worried he might be right. He decided to drop the topic and said, “It was just a thought. Nothing important.”
He didn’t want to ruin everything by bringing up something that could potentially harm the relationship between the three of them. 1
Gilbert continued cooking and replied with a simple “Oh.”
He was relieved that Zach didn’t press the issue further. He thought Zach might have guessed his secret but chose not to expose it. It showed that he still cared about their brotherhood.
The atmosphere during the meal was unpleasant, and Jenny couldn’t help but notice that her two brothers were in a bad mood. Although she didn’t know the reason behind it, she thought she might be overthinking it.
After dinner, the two left, and Jenny finally got a good night’s sleep. However, her peaceful sleep was interrupted by a call from Alec, and she tried her best not to curse upon seeing his name on her phone. “What do you want?” she snapped.
Alec was taken aback by her tone, feeling as if he had returned to the time when Jenny disliked him intensely.
“Is everything okay? Are you upset?” he asked cautiously, wondering if returning to Parrington had changed anything.
Jenny realized her tone was harsh, but she was too tired to be polite. “I’m fine, just tired and want to sleep. “she grumbled.
“Okay, sorry for bothering you. Get some rest, I’ll come to see you tomorrow,” Alec replied, understanding the situation.
“No, I have something to do tomorrow,” Jenny refused as she promised to have lunch with Yvonne. “What is it?”
