Happiness was written all over her face, and she just could not hide it. When she thought of the fact that her hard work had finally paid off after such a long time, she just couldn't help but smile."Jenny, thank you." If Jenny hadn't reminded her, she might still be as careless as before. If that were the case, Gilbert probably would not fall for her.Jenny, however, didn't share the same thought. She knew Gilbert's character very well. He had always been indifferent toward outsiders, but he would slowly change after getting along with the person for some time. Jenny felt that even if she didn't say anything to Marigold, they would still end up together sooner or later if they continued to get along as they did before.She smiled at Marigold and said, "No need to thank me. This is the result of your hard work. If you really want to thank me, give me a big present when you two get married."Marigold's face instantly flushed. She said with slight embarrassment, "I still don't know

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

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

"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

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
