Marigold felt that she was about to lose her mind. He was deliberately seducing her, wasn't he? He clearly knew she liked him, yet he seduced her like that!She bit her lips and felt she should teach him a lesson.In the next second, she immediately took charge. She reached out her hand and held Gilbert's chin. "What do you want me to do?"Gilbert chuckled softly. This was truly extremely interesting. He said nothing, but he didn't stop moving either. He slowly got closer to Marigold, so much so that he was almost touching her lips. "Am I the one who wants it, or are you?""Damn it!" Marigold swore inwardly. She was blushing so hard that her earlobes were red. She was shy and a little nervous. She was even a little excited.Marigold felt that she should just do it. Since he had thrown himself at her, she would be wasting this opportunity if she did nothing.Right when she was about to kiss Gilbert, their car was violently hit. Fortunately, Gilbert hugged her in time. Otherwise, t
Gilbert's heart almost stopped as Marigold groaned in pain. "You—" Gilbert did not even know what to say. At that moment, he felt furious and was also in indescribable pain. However, he was feeling more worried.He held Marigold tightly, afraid she would slip away from his arms.Marigold could sense his nervousness as well. With a slight embarrassment, she said, "I'm fine. It just grazed me a little."Yes, she was grazed by the bullet. Perhaps it was too dark, but the person who fired the shot missed.Gilbert let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. What came after was rage. "Who asked you to take a bullet for me? Do you not want to live anymore?"If the shooter didn't have a bad aim, Gilbert didn't even dare to think if Marigold could live or not."I didn't think that much." At that time, she was only thinking of not letting Gilbert get shot. She truly didn't consider too much about whether she would live or die.Gilbert looked at her. He could not see her expression clea
After they returned to the villa, Gilbert brought Marigold back to the room. However, he had no intention of leaving. That made Marigold feel awkward as he did not know what he wanted."It's getting late. You should go back and rest." Marigold had no choice but to be the first to speak. She couldn't let Gilbert stay by her side in the room.Gilbert didn't leave. He looked at her and asked, "The doctor said you are not to get your arm wet, so how are you going to shower?"Marigold couldn't believe what she had heard. "I'll just skip showering today." Marigold let out a forced laugh. She was a little not used to discussing this kind of topic with him."If you want to take a shower, I can help," Gilbert offered. He even said it very seriously.Marigold strongly suspected she had heard it wrong. What did he say? He could help?As if he was afraid she would misunderstand, Gilbert quickly said, "I can ask the maid to come and help you take a shower.""No need for that. It's not a big
Marigold had quite a good sleep at Gilbert's villa that night. She was not affected by what happened the night before.When she got downstairs after she woke up, Gilbert was already sitting in the living room. When he saw her coming down the stairs, he got up and came to her. "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?""No." Marigold shook her head. She felt there was no need to make a fuss when her injury was so minor.Upon hearing that, Gilbert didn't ask anymore. He asked the maid to have breakfast served. "Let's have breakfast.""Alright." It was after Marigold sat down that she realized the breakfast that day was a little different from what they usually had. It was practically foods that were rich in iron. She was a little helpless. She looked up at Gilbert and said, "There's no need to go over the top when it's only a minor injury.""So what if it's a minor injury? You were bleeding." In his opinion, since she did lose some blood, she needed more iron to replenish. Besides, it was b
Both Gilbert and Esther were staring down at each other. Marigold, however, was so stunned that she could not regain her senses for a while.What did they mean? Gilbert was going to return to the Bradshaw family? He already rejected them earlier, didn't he?She wanted to ask him, but she felt it was not the right time to ask. She had no choice but to hold it in and ask him after Esther left."Alright. Since you're willing to return to the Bradshaw family, then come home with me." Esther had made up her mind that she was going to take Gilbert home. Even if he had other intentions, it was better to keep him under her nose. She refused to believe he could pull some tricks that way. Gilbert had no intention to get up and leave at all. Instead, he said, "There's no need for me to stay with you guys, right? I'll report to Bradshaw Operations tomorrow."Esther frowned. She was about to say something, but Gilbert beat her to the punch and said, "If you think that won't work, then forget
"What's the matter?" Gilbert was confused. Did he say anything wrong earlier? Marigold pursed her lips. She wanted to ask Gilbert what exactly she was to him, but she didn't dare to do it. Both of them had yet to define their relationship. Perhaps Gilbert wasn't sure about his feelings for her as well. Marigold was a little afraid that she would break what they had going on if she asked him directly. If things ended well, they would immediately be together. If things end up badly, they would have to part ways.Thinking of Gilbert's attitude from the past, Marigold got cold feet. In the end, she still didn't have the guts to ask."Why did you suddenly decide to return to the Bradshaw family?" Marigold asked to change the topic.Gilbert didn't know what she was thinking about. Therefore, when he heard her asking this question, he thought that was exactly what she had been thinking about before that. "Nothing in particular. Since they welcome me so much, why shouldn't I go?"Marig
Marigold had no idea what he was thinking about as well. If she had, she would probably be even more nervous than Gilbert.At night, both of them had dinner together. After that, Gilbert continued working in the living room, but Marigold didn't stay.She didn't take a shower the day before, so she needed the maid to help her shower no matter what. She felt that she could do it herself. However, Gilbert insisted on having someone to help her. Otherwise, he would help her himself. Marigold had no choice but to choose to let the maid help her. She wasn't quite used to it, but it was much better than allowing Gilbert to help her.After Marigold took a shower, she didn't intend to return to the living room. Therefore, she put on a nightgown and sat in bed. She was looking at her phone, checking the news, and not doing much.Right at that moment, someone knocked on her door. After she asked the person to come in, Gilbert walked in."It's you?" Marigold felt a little embarrassed. She tho
The kiss left Gilbert wanting more, but at least it helped suppress his burning urge. He didn't stay in Marigold's room. He truly had no idea what might happen if he continued to stay.Marigold, on the other hand, calmed down. She was still feeling the buzz at that moment. She didn't care that Gilbert ran away in a wretched manner at all.After Gilbert left, she immediately grabbed her phone and called Jenny. She had to share the good news with Jenny immediately, no matter what.As soon as Jenny picked up the call, Marigold hurriedly said, "Jenny, I've won your brother over!"Even though they were talking over the phone, Jenny could feel Marigold's excitement. "Is that so? Congratulations, my future sister-in-law."Being called Jenny's future sister-in-law made Marigold feel extra happy."How did you do it so quickly? I thought you guys would still need some time to make progress." Jenny felt it was strange. She felt that her brother was not such a straightforward person.Marigo
