To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 217


    Chapter 217 He’s Your Brother, Not Your Son


    Marigold left right after she spoke. Jenny stole a nce at Gilbert’s expression. It was worse than


    before.


    “Didn’t you always tell me not to judge a book by its cover?” Jenny said after a moment’s silence.


    “Maybe the Wagners are dislikeable, but that doesn’t mean that every member of the family is bad. At


    least, I think Marigold’s decent.”


    Gilbert said nothing. She didn’t know what he was thinking. He stared at the direction in which Marigold


    left for a long time, still lost in his thoughts.


    “Gilbert?” Jenny called. He came back to his senses.


    He looked at Jenny and said, “You’re just too naive. Is she going to announce her motives while getting


    close to me?”


    “Aren’t you overthinking things? Marigold is just a girl. You can choose not to like her, but using her


    of evil intentions that she may or may not have is going overboard,” Alec finally said, unable to bear it


    anymore. He and Marigold were not close, onlying into contact with her through Paul, but he could


    tell that Marigold was just an innocent girl. She was not as vindictive as Gilbert thought.


    “Don’t you think interrupting my conversation with Jenny is going overboard?” Gilbert looked at him, the


    hatred in his eyes clearly shown.


    Alec was about to speak, but Jenny cut them both off. “Stop. Gilbert, it’s okay if you don’t like Marigold.


    You don’t have to get angry over this.”


    Perhaps Gilbert thought that he had been overreacting, as well. He took a deep breath to calm himself


    down. “Alright. I’m not angry. Just ignore her if shees looking for you.”


    Jenny nodded. “Okay.”


    In her eyes, Marigold was an outsider. It was not worth getting into a fight with Gilbert over someone


    they barely knew.


    Theunch was still ongoing. Zack was the true star of the show, surrounded by a few people. His face


    flushed red, and he was stumbling on his steps.


    “Gilbert, you should go help Zack out.” Jenny couldn’t bear watching it. She worried that Zack would


    pass out at his own businessunch.


    Gilbert nodded and reminded her to take care of herself before walking over toward Zack.


    As for Alec, he said nothing. After Gilbert was gone, Jenny looked at him embarrassedly and said,


    “Sorry. My brother was in a bad temper.”


    “Why are you apologizing for him? He’s your brother, not your son,” Alec said, annoyed.


    Jenny said nothing.


    “I’m sorry, Jenny. I…” Alec wished he could p himself. What was he saying? It was Gilbert who had


    provoked him, not Jenny. Why did hesh out at her?


    Jenny didn’t take it to heart. She shook her head. “It’s okay. I know you were standing up for Paul.”


    If someone said that about Stephanie, she would be mad, too.


    Stephanie…


    Jenny suddenly realized that Stephanie was not there.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    That wasn’t right. Stephanie was her best friend. She knew that Zack was her brother. She had no


    reason


    not toe.


    She swept her gaze over the audience. Just as she was about to confirm her suspicions, she spotted


    Stephanie’s father. She turned toward Alec and said, “I have to deal with something for a bit.”


    “Alright.” Alec did not stop her.


    Jenny walked toward Stephanie’s father. “Mr. Walker.”


    “Jenny.” Mr. Walker nodded. “What’s wrong? Are you looking for something?”


    “Nothing much. It’s just that I haven’t seen Stephanie around. Isn’t sheing? Jenny asked, an


    uneasy sensation washing over her.
