Chapter 1371 Gilbert and Marigold (46)
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 when that will be.”
’Soon.” Jenny had a feeling.
The gala was still ongoing, but Gilbert was a little distracted. He was talking to the client, but he could not help but keep glancing in Marigold’s direction through the corner of his eyes. He had no idea what she and Jenny were talking about, but she looked like she was very happy.
Finally, the gala ended. The first thing Gilbert did was go to Marigold. “Let’s go. It’s time to go home.”
’Alright.” Marigold nodded. She felt that she had truly changed. She was very interested in galas like this in the past, but at that moment, she suddenly felt it was boring.
Both of them got up, and Jenny got up with them as well. ‘Bye then. Have a safe journey home.”
“Alright. You should go back as well.” Alec was already waiting for Jenny on the other end.
After the three parted ways, Gilbert brought Marigold out of the hotel.
Jenny also walked to Alec. She smiled in delight as she watched the two of them leave.
Gilbert opened the door to the back seat. Marigold was first to get in, and then Gilbert followed her into the car as well. Marigold was a little surprised.
Gilbert would always sit in the front passenger seat in the past. He had never sat at the back with her before.
The driver started the car. The narrow back seat was filled with the woody cologne coming from Gilbert’s body. It was very pleasant to the nose, and she was a little intoxicated by it. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Are you tired?” Gilbert asked. There was a tinge of care that was hard to put into words in his tone.
Marigold’s heart started pounding. She was so close to him, and his gaze was so affectionate. She almost could not hold herself back.
No, no, she must not throw herself at him.
She lowered her head and avoided Gilbert’s eyes. “It’s alright. I’m not that tired.’
Her body was not feeling tired, but the torture of being alone with Gilbert was incredible suffering to her.
“You must have had a tiring night,” Gilbert said.
Marigold felt it was not very tiring. It was mainly because she was there to accompany Gilbert, so she would not feel it was tiring no matter what she did. Of course, if she were not accompanying Gilbert, she absolutely would not attend such a boring gala.
“Why are you looking down? Don’t dare to look at me?” Suddenly, she heard Gilbert’s voice coming from above her head. Marigold’s back stiffened. She bit her lip as she didn’t know how to react.
She didn’t react, but Gilbert didn’t plan to stop there. He reached his hand out and raised her chin, making Marigold look at him. He could easily see that her cheeks were flushed, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
Marigold got upset when she saw him chuckling. “Why are you smiling so alluringly? You should know that I’m not a good girl.”
Gilbert could not help but laugh when he heard that. Logically speaking, he should be the one saying that line, shouldn’t he?
’Oh? So what is a bad girl like you planning to do?” Gilbert looked at her. His gaze seemed like he was looking forward to her doing something.
