Chapter 1363 Gilbert and Marigold (38)
"I have no one else to go with,' Gilbert said honestly. However, he had his reasons that he
couldn't say out loud.
Unfortunately, Marigold's expression shifted when she heard that. So he was only choosing
her because he had no other woman to go with. She thought she was a fool. What was she
so excited for, thinking that Gilbert had fallen for her?
What a joke.
Seeing that she was not responding, Gilbert thought she was refusing to go. He grew
concerned. "WilI you come?"
Marigold looked up at him. Although she was angry, she couldn't say no to him in the face
of his request. She pouted and said after a pause, "Yes, but you can't blame me if I
embarrass you.’
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been a long time since she went to parties like these.
She used to love going to them, but after her pregnancy and her sickness, she thought
many things through and felt that all these things were unnecessary. Hence, she didn’t
attend them anymore.
If she went again, this time with Gilbert, she would be nervous.
"Don't worry. I won't be embarrassed." Gilbert smiled, looking happy.
Marigold didn't know what he was so happy about. Was he happy that she was the one
accompanying him, or was he happy just because someone agreed to go with him?
She thought it was probably the latter. He wouldn't have gone to see her if Gilbert had
other options.
She thought things were progressing between her and Gilbert, but she seemed to be
making too much out of it.
She couldn't fall asleep that night. However, Gilbert slept soundly next door.
Before falling asleep, he sent a message to his assistant, Greg. He ordered him to prepare
clothes that fit Marigold's measurements and specifically instructed the dress to be
completely unique.
Once Greg received the message, he got out of bed in the middle of the night to look for
the dress. However, it was hard to find a unique dress.
They would have to get it custom-made, but it was too late now.
There were other options, which was buying from luxurious and exclusive brands,
especially those that made only one item per design. However, that would be pricey.
Greg didn't know how close Gilbert and Marigold were, so he couldn't be sure if Gilbert
would be willing to spend that much money on Marigold's dress. Hence, he curated a few
selections for Gilbert to choose from tomorrow.
In Alec's villa, Jenny was not asleep when Alec came home. She was calling someone on
the phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I don't care how long ago it was. You must get it checked. I will not allow anyone to
tarnish my grandfather's name after his death." After that, Jenny hung up. She was
obviously in a bad mood.
Alec went to her side and pulled her into his arms. "Are you still looking into Gilbert's
identity?"
"Yes. I believe in my grandfather's innocence. Something must have happened." She
wanted to investigate it thoroughly. This was the only way that her grandfather wouldn't
become a scapegoat.
Alec knew how much she cared for her grandfather, even though they weren't related by
blood. He massaged her forehead. 'Til help you check it out. There will be results."
"Okay." Jenny leaned against his shoulder. Once she cleared it up, she would tell it all to
Esther and let her know that her grandfather was not like what Esther had thought.
Besides, it involved Gilbert. She wanted to know what had happened.
