To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 1352

Soon, the guests were all gone. Jenny and the others left, too, leaving only Gilbert and Marigold in the hotel. Even the child was taken home by the nanny.

Gilbert had a lot to drink today. Hence, after he was done sending off his guests, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes halfway as if he was asleep.

Marigold walked toward him, worried. “Are you…alright?’

At her voice, Gilbert opened his eyes. He wasn’t surprised to see Marigold.” I’m fine. Get the driver to start the car.” He’d had so much to drink that he definitely wouldn’t be able to drive home.

Marigold nodded and called up the driver, telling him to place the car at the entrance and help her get Gilbert out. She put her phone away and held Gilbert. “The driver is coming. I’ll help you up.”

“I’m fine. I can walk on my own.” Gilbert tried to stand up by himself.

However, he had overestimated himself. The moment he stood, he collapsed to the side. Marigold hurriedly pulled him. Unfortunately, she had no strength to do so and was pulled down with him.

“Ow!‘ Marigold exclaimed, falling on top of Gilbert. His broad chest made her dazed. Hearing his heartbeat from between his ribs, she blushed.

“I’m sorry. I…” Gilbert apologized and tried to get up, but then he was stunned. Marigold was looking at him, and for whatever reason, her eyes were making him feel a certain way.

As he was lost in his thoughts, Marigold kissed him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Her emotions were in overdrive. She couldn’t help herself. She didn’t want to waste the opportunity God had given her. Although Jenny had warned her not to be too hasty, Marigold was in no mood to think about that.

With her soft lips pressed against his, Gilbert swallowed. For a moment, he wanted more. But the moment the thought arose, footsteps sounded at the door, and he snapped back to reality, pulling Marigold up at once. When the driver walked in, nothing seemed amiss.

“Mr. Hawthorn, Miss Wagner, the car is here,’ the driver said.

Gilbert murmured a response. He looked like his usual self. Only Marigold’s face was as red as a tomato.

The driver supported Gilbert while Marigold followed behind them. She hadn’t calmed down yet.

What had she done?

She’d kissed Gilbert!

Gilbert must hate her so much right now.

Oh Marigold, why was she so impatient? She’d already promised Jenny to take things slowly. Why did she kiss him?

Her thoughts were in a frenzy. They stayed like that until the car reached the villa. The driver left, leaving Marigold alone with Gilbert once more. It was only then that she had the bravery to look at him.

Gilbert hadn’t expressed anything. But when he felt her gaze, he looked at her.

“I’m sorry. I…” She had no idea how to explain herself and didn’t know if her apology would even mean anything. She had to admit that she was afraid now.

She was afraid that Gilbert would chase her out.

However, Gilbert wasn’t mad at all. He merely looked at her, saying, “You were so brave before. Why are you so cowardly now?”

She’d already kissed him. Why was she apologizing now?
