To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 864

When Gilbert got back to the restaurant, the food was already served. Jenny and Evan were waiting for him to come back.

"Apologies. I was taking a phone call." Gilbert sat down, showing nothing out of the ordinary on his face. At least, not to Jenny.

Evan glanced at him for a while, but he said nothing. Quite frankly, Gilbert had nothing to do with him. Evan couldn't be bothered, either.

They began eating their food. Whether by coincidence or not, Marigold walked into the restaurant, too. There was a man next to her.

"Let's eat somewhere else," Marigold said. She'd spotted Gilbert and the others, and was afraid she'd be misunderstood. Furthermore, she didn't want to be seen with him.

The man next to her did not agree. "Why should we? I think this place is great. Didn't you say you wanted to have soup earlier?"

Marigold wanted to say something else, but Jenny and others were looking over. She had no choice but to follow him into the restaurant. They sat down.

Jenny was surprised to see her. "That's Marigold, Gilbert. I remember her having a crush on you."

She was teasing Gilbert on purpose. She did not expect Gilbert's face to shift instantly. "Who would remember a woman like that?"

"That's true. I know you don't like her. She seems pretty close to that man next to her. Perhaps they're married."

It was rare for them to meet someone they knew. Jenny was naturally curious, especially since Marigold had once liked Gilbert.

Gilbert didn't turn to look, absolutely disinterested in her. Jenny did not think too much of it. As long as Marigold did not trouble her as she had in Parrington, Jenny would not go looking for her.
