To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)

Jenny wanted to laugh when Lottie called Gilbert "Bert." She had no idea how Gilbert was keeping it together. She said nothing, looking at Gilbert.

Gilbert's gaze was gentle. He looked at Lottie as if she were his lover. "I'm fine with anything. You can decide."

"Let's have a meal together, Miss Walter." Lottie invited Jenny after getting permission from Gilbert.

Jenny hadn't wanted to agree because she was afraid of spoiling Gilbert's plans. But she could feel that Lottie was glancing at Marigold from time to time and sensed that she was challenging her. Jenny smirked. "Alright. But I'll have to bring a plus one."

"That's perfectly fine." Lottie didn't ask if it would be Marigold. To her, Marigold didn't seem worth mentioning. But was that really true? If it were, Lottie wouldn't be looking at Marigold.

She obviously wanted to know what Gilbert and Marigold's relationship was like, and her invitation was just to show off in front of Marigold.

Lottie and Gilbert walked out of the boutique. Gilbert had not glanced at Marigold once. She knew that he was just acting, but she still felt miserable.

When they walked out, Jenny finally looked at Marigold. "Let's go. Someone's treating us."

"I'm not going, Jenny. I'll take Caleb home. You can go." Marigold truly didn't want to see Gilbert and Lottie being affectionate to each other.

But Jenny did not agree to that. She pulled at her. "Marigold, if you go now, it means that you're afraid, and you'll lose the battle. Ignore my brother's behavior. Right now, you can't lose to Lottie. Do you understand?"

Marigold didn't actually understand, but when she saw how serious Jenny was, she nodded.

Afterward, Jenny got the nanny and the bodyguard to take Caleb home. She brought Marigold along with Gilbert and Lottie.

They chose a restaurant upstairs. In the meantime, Gilbert was extremely polite and caring toward Lottie.

"My brother is really good to you," Jenny said sarcastically.

Lottie was not angry. She smiled at Gilbert. "He's a good person, and I like him very much. That's why I don't want anything happening between you two."

"Nothing's really happening. I just don't like that he's gone back to the Bradshaws. That means he isn't my brother anymore," Jenny said as she sipped her tea slowly.

"Why?" Lottie didn't understand why Jenny would say this. Would Gilbert's return to the Bradshaws affect Jenny in the slightest?

Jenny looked at her and said with a

cold smile, "If he could abandon his son just to go back to the

Bradshaws, he could abandon me for them, too. So why should still see him as my brother?"

Jenny had wanted to say, "His lover's son," but then considered that Lottie would tell tales to Esther Hence, she didn't say Marigold's name They couldn't let her know that Gilbert and Marigold were at that stage of the relationship.

Lottie's face paled. "His son...Well, don't worry. Once Gilbert and I marry, I'll accept his son as one of my own," she said determinedly.

Before Jenny could retort, Marigold

blurted out, "Miss Silvera, forget about whether you can marry

UT

Gilbert. Even if you could, you could just have your own son. Isn't taking mine going overboard?"
