Knock, knock.Gilbert had just finished showering and came out of the bathroom when he heard someone knock on his door. He opened the door and saw Marigold standing there. She had changed into a light pink nightgown. With her fair long legs exposed, beauty seemed to radiate from within her.Gilbert hurriedly averted his gaze and met her eyes. "What is it?""I...I need your help." Marigold was very nervous. "The light in my room isn't working properly. Can you help me take a look?""Sure." Gilbert didn't refuse. In the next second, he got up and followed Marigold to her room."I don't know why, but the light started flickering all of a sudden. It's kind of scary." Marigold stood beside Gilbert. Looking at the light above, she bit her lip and moved closer to him.Gilbert glanced at it a few times. "It's probably an issue with the circuit. I'll have someone come and take a look tomorrow.""Okay." Marigold nodded."If you're scared, you can switch to another room." The villa had ma

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, 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 and even looked down on his small company, out of respect for Jenny and Alec, nearly half of the affluent and influential families in Bardoff City attended th

Jenny was stunned for a moment before snapping back to reality. She looked at Zack with conflicted emotion. "Are you planning to live with them?"Now it was Zack's turn to be stunned. "Why would I live with them? I don't even know them."He had not had a lonely childhood. Besides, Gilbert and Jenny were here, and he was married with a wife. He couldn't leave anyway."I thought you'd be eager to stay with them after so many years of not seeing them." Jenny smiled bitterly. On second thought, she could understand his reasoning.They were both the same. Although they didn't have their parents since they were young, their emotional needs were met. Hence, they didn't hunt for their biological parents. Even in Jenny's case, Graham was the one who found her. Otherwise, she would not have gone to find him.Zack was like her. His decision to see his parents was probably because their news couldn't be ignored. But for now, he would probably only be paying them a short visit. He would not ha

"I don't care about that at all," Gilbert said after a moment. He knew it was hard for Marigold to give birth to Caleb and that her body had not yet recovered. However, it did not mean that he would be with her.Love wasn't as simple as that."Well, do you have anyone you like?" Zack asked.Gilbert shook his head.Zack slapped his thigh and said, "Since you don't have any other crushes, what's wrong with trying this one out? What if you guys are compatible with each other? This would be a win-win situation. Caleb aside, you could give Marigold a chance. Do you really want Caleb to have another parent?"Zack felt that since Gilbert had no one else in mind, trying to make things work with Marigold wasn't such a bad idea. If he fell in love with her, that would be a good thing.Gilbert began doubting himself once he heard Zack's reasoning. On second thought, that seemed to be the case. He couldn't help thinking about the dream he had a few days ago. He coughed dryly. "We'll talk abo

"Bullshit!" the woman roared. She was unhappy with Zack's words. "You'd be better off finding out if you were picked up by the roadside or kidnapped. Those human traffickers are counting their money right this instant!""We don't need you to tell us all this. We will investigate it ourselves." It was Jenny who spoke. She would not let anyone tarnish her grandfather's reputation. Hence, even if the woman hadn't told her to, she would have investigated it herself.The woman didn't want to indulge them anymore. To her, these were people of no importance. She looked at Gilbert and spoke in a gentler tone. "Gilbert, Mommy isn't lying to you. You were kidnapped before, and I have never given up in my search for you.""And?" Gilbert raised his eyebrows. She couldn't read him at all."And now that I've finally found you, I'd like you to go back with me and return to your family." She looked at Gilbert expectantly. She was here to bring him home.Gilbert said nothing. She continued, "And y
