Chapter 1330 Gilbert and Marigold (5)
After finishing their pasta, they each went back to their rooms. xo Marigold stopped
by the next room next to hers to check on her baby.
She sat by the bed, looking at the child, who was sleeping peacefully. That little face was
incredibly adorable, making her unable to resist the urge to give him a kiss. But she held
herself back from giving in to that temptation, as she was afraid of waking the child.
Although the child was currently taken care of by a nanny, she knew how much of a ruckus
he would make if he started crying at night. xo Hence, she couldn't wake him up at
any cost.
‘My baby, your daddy acknowledges that you're his child." Even though she'd initially
made up her mind that she would raise the child alone, with or without Gilbert, she still
hoped that Gilbert would acknowledge the child as his. Perhaps deep down, she wished for
the child to be able to grow up with a father figure.
Growing up in the Wagner family, her father never gave her anything much besides
holding the title of being her father. So, she'd always lacked paternal love throughout her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlife. n.ove.lx.o That could be the reason she hoped her child could grow up in an
environment filled with paternal love.
After whispering a few more words to her child. Marigold left and returned to her own
room to rest.
Meanwhile, in Gilbert's room, he'd just taken a shower. He was just about to get under the
covers and call it a day, n.ove.lx.o but he suddenly thought of what Marigold had said at
the dining table.
A name...
He had no idea what name to bestow upon the child. novëlxo Therefore, he dialed Jenny's
number right away.
Jenny had just gotten into bed with Alec when his call came in. "Hold on a moment!" Jenny
quickly took the phone. "It's a call from Gilbert."
"Just hang up the call!" Alec was quite annoyed.
"There must be something important for him to call at this hour." Jenny pushed Alec aside,
sat up straight, and answered Gilbert's call.
Alec sat next to her with a grumpy expression full of resentment. Jenny smiled at him,
reaching out to pinch his cheek in an attempt to ease his annoyance.
"Gilbert," she greeted, "what's the matter? Why are you still up so late?”
"I have something to ask you," Gilbert replied, cutting to the chase." Marigold asked me to
come up with a name for the child. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Jenny inhaled in surprise; she didn't expect he would ask her for name suggestions. There
was a moment of silence as Jenny thought about it. Guessing Gilbert's train of thought,
Jenny replied, novëlxo ‘Since it's up to you to decide, then you should be the one to
choose the name. I believe you can come up with something suitable.’
She didn't dare to decide for him and Marigold when it came to such an important matter
as naming the child. Furthermore, Marigold had made it clear that she wanted Gilbert to
decide, xo so that was all the more reason she shouldn't butt in.
"Jenny-’
"I'm hanging up now. Good night and good luck!" Jenny immediately ended the call. It
wasn't because she was in a hurry, but Alec was genuinely not allowing her to answer the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphone properly. He'd already started nibbling and raining kisses on her neck when she was
still on the call.
Gilbert sighed helplessly as he looked at the disconnected call. He would have to take his
time and come up with a name himself. "What's a good name?" he wondered.
After a while, he got up and took several books from his bookshelf. xo Upon closer
inspection, they were several volumes of poem collections.
Marigold probably hadn't expected Gilbert would try to come up with a name so seriously
because she asked him to. He stayed up all night poring over several books before finally
writing down one name.
The next day, when Marigold looked at the note that Gilbert handed her and took in the
obvious dark circles under his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
"Thank you." xo She didn't say anything else and just expressed her gratitude in a
soft tone.
Gilbert shrugged indifferently, pretending that it was no big deal. "It's just a small favor. I
thought of it randomly. Take a look and see if it's to your liking. If it's not, then just forget
about it. Don't mind me."
Marigold smiled and opened the note.
