Chapter 1036 He Didn't Care
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Jenny said, heading to the door, already guessing who it was.
Sure enough, Zack and Gilbert stood outside the door, Janet alongside them. The
atmosphere was tense between them, most likely due to the issue with Janet.
Jenny ignored that fact, however. "Come on inside. It's cold out."
She glanced at the sky; snowflakes already drifting down from the clouds. It looked like
there'd be another few inches of snow today.
Warmth surrounded them as they entered the villa.
"I've bought all the ingredients you asked for, Gilbert. Is there anything else you need? I
can go get it." Jenny dragged her eldest brother to the kitchen.
Spotting Evan in there, Gilbert scoffed, "Oh? You wanna help out too?"
"However way I can, yes." Evan smiled, ignoring Gilbert's poke. He knew Gilbert wasn't
happy with him for asking Jenny to take care of him.
But Evan didn't care.
Gilbert sneered. "No need. Why don't you go back to your room and rest? Else you feel all
tired again, and Jenny blames me for pushing you around."
"Thank you, then."
Evan then had Howard push him back into his room, not planning to make small talk with
Zack in the living room either. The man's eyes were brimming with hostility. Obviously, he
knew why Jenny was there.
"Fucking snake!" Zack hissed as Evan went upstairs. He had been opposed to Gilbert
reintroducing Jenny to Evan those months ago, having a neutral impression of the man.
But it turned out the young, sincere man he used to call friend had long turned ugly and
selfish.
"Zack? Who is he?" Janet asked curiously.
"Not important. Just know he's no good man."
Janet nodded, then examined her surroundings before finally looking at the kitchen. "We
should go help them out in the kitchen."
"Alright." Gilbert would most likely mind Janet's presence, but it didn't feel right with just

kitchen.
"Need anymore hands, Jenny?" Zack poked his head into the doorway, grinning. He then
went over to his sister, staying as far away from Gilbert as possible.
Jenny instantly knew what the two had in mind. "Help me separate the spinach leaves
from their stems. I need to chop these leeks up."
"Nope. You go help them with the spinach," Gilbert instructed. He didn't want Jenny to ruin
his cooking.
Jenny squinted at him. "I just don't want you to overwork yourself."
"We don't need to rush. It's still barely nine in the morning."
Jenny pursed her lips, then went plucking spinach with Zack and Janet.
The atmosphere was especially still and silent among them, due to Janet's presence most
likely. It made Jenny uncomfortable. Things were never like that before her appearance.
Jenny sighed. It looked like Gilbert and Zack really did have a great fight all because of
Janet.
