Chapter 1344 Gilbert and Marigold (19)
The next day, they held the naming ceremony as scheduled.
Many people attended this joyous occasion at Bardoff International Hotel. In addition to his
friends and family, xo Gilbert also invited all the clients who had business dealings
with his company.
However, the above categories of people weren't the only ones there that day.
Gilbert was Jenny's older adoptive brother, and everyone in Bardoff City knew that. Now
that Jenny had married Alec, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that Jenny and Alec were the
ones calling the shots in Bardoff City. After their two families joined hands due to their
marriage, there was a huge shuffling of families that were considered the Ten Elites. The
Walters and the Fausts were undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid now.
Therefore, even though some people had no personal relationship with Gilbert xo and
even looked down on his small company, out of respect for Jenny and Alec, nearly half of
the affluent and influential families in

goodwill and respect.
Jenny arrived early. Although she was married, Gilbert was still a treasured family member
to her, so she came as early as she could to see if there was anything she could help with.
Marigold and Gilbert were already standing at the entrance welcoming the guests when
she arrived. However, they didn't stand together but on opposite sides, giving the
impression that they were unrelated.
When she saw this, Jenny felt something was amiss, so she walked over to them and
greeted them, "Hi, Gilbert. Hello, Marigold."
"Jenny, you're here. Come on in and have a seat," .xo Marigold greeted Jenny with a
smile. By now, she regarded Jenny as her own family and was genuinely delighted to see
her there.
"There's no hurry. I'll take a look at the baby first," Jenny said as she walked toward the
side where the stroller was. The child was sleeping soundly inside.
Almost irresistibly, Jenny reached out and gently touched the child's cute little face. She
felt an amazing sense of wonder. She couldn't help but gush, "He's so adorable! He looks
just like Gilbert."
"I know, right? I think so, too," Gilbert said,novëlxo coming over to her side and looking at
the baby in the stroller with a proud smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Gilbert. You have such a lovely child," Jenny said.
Gilbert didn't deny it. The arrival of this child had completely transformed his life.
"You and Alec should start considering it too," Gilbert said when Jenny least expected it.
She was completely caught off guard.
Jenny glanced at Alec, who was right beside her. Before she could say anything, he spoke
up first, "I'm fine with anything. I'll follow Jenny's lead."
In response, Jenny glared at him. Seeing such a cute bundle of joy, Alec had indeed
started giving having children a thought recently. Although children were adorable, Jenny
still wanted to wait for another two years.

’Gilbert, Marigold, you should stand together to welcome the guests," novëlx.o Jenny
suggested, pulling Marigold over to stand beside him.
Marigold felt awkward and explained, "It's not his fault. I chose to stand over there
myself." She didn't want to stand next to Gilbert in case people misunderstood their
relationship.
Jenny was puzzled. Didn't she convince Marigold just a couple of days ago to actively
pursue her happiness? What was going on now?
Marigold pursed her lips and said softly, ‘Although we have a child, n.ovëlx.o we don't
really have any significant relationship, so it's better to keep some distance to avoid
misunderstandings."
Jenny didn't know what had happened between them, n.ove.lx.o but from Marigold's
words, she could tell she was clearly unhappy. In fact, she was probably aggrieved.
Instantly, Jenny deduced that Gilbert had done something to upset her.
She looked at Gilbert quizzically, who was equally confused. He shrugged helplessly and
didn't say anything.
"Whatever, I don't really care," he thought.
' Marigold, no matter what happened between you guys, it's better for you to stand
together on this kind of occasion," Jenny whispered in her ear." You don't wish for others to
have even more things to talk bad about you behind your back, right?"
