    Chapter 1348 Gilbert and Marigold (23)


    ’I don’t care about that at all,’ Gilbert said after a moment. He knew it was hard for Marigold to give birth


    to Caleb and that her body had not yet recovered. However, it did not mean that he would be with her.

    Love wasn’t as simple as that.


    “Well, do you have anyone you like?” Zack asked.


    Gilbert shook his head.


    Zack pped his thigh and said, “Since you don’t have any other crushes, what’s wrong with trying this


    one out? What if you guys arepatible with each other? This would be a win-win situation. Caleb


    aside, you could give Marigold a chance. Do you really want Caleb to have another parent?”


    Zack felt that since Gilbert had no one else in mind, trying to make things work with Marigold wasn’t


    such a bad idea. If he fell in love with her, that would be a good thing.


    Gilbert began doubting himself once he heard Zack’s reasoning. On second thought, that seemed to be


    the case. He couldn’t help thinking about the dream he had a few days ago. He coughed dryly. “We’ll


    talk about this at ater time. I’m not in the mood to discuss this.”


    Zack’s eyes lit up. He thought there was hope yet.


    Meanwhile, Jenny had just heard from Marigold about what had happened before and understood why


    they were so upset. She looked at Marigold with conflicted emotions and said, “Although I want you to


    be assertive, that’s not the way to do it. No one would be able to take it.”


    Marigold was just a little too assertive. Even if Gilbert was interested in her, her actions could scare him


    away.


    “Well, what should I do, then?’ Marigold was miserable these few days. She


    felt that she was being assertive enough, yet she was not reaping any rewards.


    Was she being too forthright?


    “Didn’t you say that Gilbert doesn’t eat dinner often? Well, you could start with making him dinner,”


    Jenny said after a moment’s deliberation. Before Marigold could speak, she continued, “Gilbert takes


    time to warm up to someone. If you integrate yourself into his life slowly and get him used to having


    you around, he’ll slowlye to depend on you greatly. You need to learn to care about him and not do


    things like how you did themst time. You won’t see results like that.” In fact, Gilbert might hate her


    once more. She wouldn’t want that.


    Marigold began to realize her faults. Blushing, she said in embarrassment,” I didn’t think that far ahead.


    I just wanted to be with him as soon as possible.”


    She thought that it would be the quickest way.


    ‘I know you want to be with Gilbert, but there are many ways to do that. You have to at least make him


    like you before getting together with him. That’s the best way to do it,’ Jenny said.


    Marigold nodded quickly. ’That makes sense. I get it now.”


    ’That’s great.’ Jenny nodded in satisfaction. She truly wanted to see them get together. That would put


    her at ease.


    As they spoke, a fight suddenly rang out from the pool downstairs. Jenny got up and walked toward the


    window, looking down.


    Gilbert and a middle-aged woman were arguing. Although she was a good distance away from them,


    she could tell that he was furious. She rarely ever saw this side of Gilbert. Her instincts told her that


    something was wrong.


    ’Let’s go take a look,’ Jenny said, walking down the stairs.


    Marigold was worried, too, and followed Jenny towards the pool.
