Chapter 1341 Gilbert and Marigold (16)

While she was lost in her own thoughts, Gilbert walked into the restaurant and headed

straight toward the three of them.

"Gilbert's here,” Jenny spoke up. Marigold instantly snapped out of her daze and looked at

the object of her affection, who had just arrived.

'Jenny," Gilbert greeted Jenny with a nod and looked at Marigold. "How did the health

check go?"

'Everything is fine,' Marigold answered with a smile. She still felt a bit nervous in front of

him. Gilbert didn’t pay much attention to that. He took a seat next to her naturally.

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes, and the four of them ate and chatted.

When the topic shifted to the upcoming naming ceremony for Caleb, there was no

shortage of conversation among them, even Gilbert surprisingly had a lot to say. Although

he didn't say it explicitly, Jenny could tell that he genuinely adored his child.

After dinner, the four of them parted ways. "We'll head back now."

'Okay, drive safe," Gilbert reminded, watching Jenny and Alec get into the car and drive

away. Once their car was some distance away, he said to Marigold, "Get in the car."

'Okay." Marigold walked toward the passenger seat, opened the door, and got in.

Inside the car, they fell into an awkward silence.

'Sorry for interrupting your work." After a while, Marigold finally plucked up enough

courage to speak up.

Gilbert furrowed his brow, seemingly not understanding why she was apologizing. "Why

would you say that?"

'It's because of me that Jenny called you. If it weren't for me-"

"It has nothing to do with you, and besides, having a meal doesn't disrupt my work that

much." Although he was indeed busy when Jenny called him, it didn't mean he would

blame Marigold for it. He wasn't an unreasonable tyrant who blamed everything on others.

Seeing that he didn't seem to blame her, Marigold breathed a sigh of relief. ’Are you going

back to work?"

It was only 8 pm. Judging from his usual working hours, he might still have pending work

waiting for him at his company.

'That won't be necessary.'

'Oh, it's good that you get to rest earlier."

"I guess so."

The atmosphere fell into silence once again. Marigold desperately wanted to say

something but didn't know what to say.

Soon, the car arrived at the villa, and the two of them got out and walked inside.

As they came back early that day, Caleb was still awake. The nanny was playing with him

in the living room. Upon seeing his parents, Caleb seemed to sense who they were and

started giggling in delight.

Gilbert was captivated and couldn't help but walk over to look at the little one in the

nanny's arms. A smile took over his lips. "You look happy, little guy."

’He must be happy because his parents are here," the nanny replied.

Gilbert reached out and took the child from the nanny's arms. "Hey, little one. Do you

recognize me?"

Caleb's giggles became peals of laughter.

‘It seems like he really likes you, Mr. Hawthorn," the nanny added.

Right then, Marigold approached her child and said, "Cal, I'm your mommy."

Both of them played with their child in the living room. It was a scene of a picture-perfect

family. Upon seeing such a scene, one would gasp in disbelief if they were told this

seemingly perfect couple wasn't bound in marriage.

They continued to play with Caleb in the living room for quite a while until it was time for

him to sleep. With that, they handed him over to the nanny.

"You had a long day at work. Go take a shower and rest up," Marigold said to Gilbert as

she watched the child being carried back to his room.

Gilbert snapped out of his giddy trance, but the smile on his face didn't fade away. "Okay,

you should rest early too."

’I will." Marigold nodded with a blush on her face. Even though she'd promised Jenny to

take the initiative, she couldn't help but feel shy whenever Gilbert looked at her.

Marigold stood in the living room and watched as Gilbert went upstairs to his room. She

took a deep breath and silently made a vow to herself after a while. For the sake of her

child, she had to do her best.

As for whether it was for the child or for herself, perhaps only Marigold knew the answer.
