To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 269


    Chapter 269 What Do You Know?


    When Gilbert left, Marigold burst into tears and wailed loudly, attracting the attention of other travelers.


    Zack felt the intense gaze on him when he stood beside her, as though people were wondering what he


    had inflicted on the poor girl who was crying hysterically. Feeling embarrassed, he finally spoke up after


    some hesitation, “Uh…don’t cry. Gilbert’s on a business trip. It’s not like he’s gone for good.”


    “What do you know?” She red at him. “Do you think I’m clueless? He left because he wanted to run


    away from Jenny. God knows when he’s going to be back!”


    “From the way you speak, I would have thought that you had some rtionship with


    him,” he fired back in disdain.


    That fuelled her rage, and she roared, “Get lost!”


    Speechless, he thought, “I’m trying to be nice to you. Why did you scold me?”


    Marigold left after that. No one knew what she was doing next, and no one cared.


    When she was gone, Zack left the airport as well with feelings of surprise that Jenny hadn’t shown up


    to see Gilbert off.


    Standing in the VIP lounge, Jenny finally looked away from the boarding gate. A long silenceter, she


    mumbled, “Let’s go.”


    “Sure.” Alec didn’t ask questions and followed dutifully behind her. They left the airport without


    speaking.


    He had expected her to be moody for a few days. He wanted to offer some words offort, but


    suddenly she said, “Let’s watch a movie tonight. There’s a new movie that receives rave reviews.”


    “Huh?” He was taken aback by the speedy change in topic.


    She looked at him. “Why? Do you not want to go?”


    He hurriedly shook his head and agreed, “Of course, I’d love to! I was just surprised.”


    “Why?”


    “I thought you weren’t in the mood.” He thought Jenny would be sad for a few more days after Gilbert’s


    departure.


    She smiled and rested her chin on her wrist. “Don’t worry. I recover fast.”

    Although she was saddened by Gilbert leaving, she wouldn’t spend time grieving the loss. One had to


    move on somehow.


    “I could tell.” He chuckled. Instead of seeing her as heartless, he had a newfound appreciation for her


    attitude.


    They drove to a nearby mall instead of Perry Residence.


    “Let’s watch the movie and have lunchter.”


    Jenny was fine with Alec’s n. The only thing she needed at that moment was to rx.


    Alec watched a thriller with Jenny in the movie hall. He had first thought that they’d watch a romance


    movie, but she said romance was boring, and that she’d rather watch something cerebral. He couldn’t


    deny that. Still, despite hisck of interest in the romance genre, he thought it’d be interesting to watch


    one with her. Unfortunately, she didn’t give him a chance to do so.


    During the movie, he whispered in her ear, “Are you scared?”


    She shook her head as she immersed herself fully in the movie and attempted to work out the identity


    of the murderer. Alec was speechless at her boldness. At first, he had nned to give her a hug during


    the movie, but he was clearly thinking too much.


    He secretly grumbled about Vincent’s useless n-that guy was a long-time bachelor after all.


    Vincent’s idea that watching a movie would create opportunities for intimacy didn’t work.


    “Withhold his bonus!” The thought popped up in Alec’s head, and he decided to take that month’s


    bonus. from Vincent out of spite.
