Chapter 1374 Gilbert and Marigold (49)
After they returned to the villa, Gilbert brought Marigold back to the room. However, he
had no intention of leaving. That made Marigold feel awkward as he did not know what he
wanted.
"It's getting late. You should go back and rest.’ Marigold had no choice but to be the first
to speak. She couldn't let Gilbert stay by her side in the room.
Gilbert didn't leave. He looked at her and asked, "The doctor said you are not to get your
arm wet, so how are you going to shower?"
Marigold couldn't believe what she had heard. "HI just skip showering today." Marigold let
out a forced laugh. She was a little not used to discussing this kind of topic with him.
"If you want to take a shower, I can help," Gilbert offered. He even said it very seriously.
Marigold strongly suspected she had heard it wrong. What did he say? He could help?
As if he was afraid she would misunderstand, Gilbert quickly said, "I can ask the maid to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcome and help you take a shower."
"No need for that. It's not a big deal to not shower for a day." She was not that bad of a
clean freak.
Seeing that she was insistent, Gilbert didn't push her anymore. "Take a good rest. Call me
if you need anything."
"Alright. You have a good rest too." Seeing that he was finally about to leave, Marigold felt
relieved. She would not be able to take it anymore if he had stayed any longer.
What she needed at that moment was peace and quiet. She needed to process what
happened that night properly, especially Gilbert's attitude. What exactly did he mean?
Soon, Gilbert left the room. However, he didn't return to his room to rest. Instead, he went
to the study. The concern on his face immediately disappeared. He became incomparably
indifferent. He took out his phone and saw the message Jenny had just sent to him. She
was very efficient and had found out who was behind the group of killers.
It was Eli.
Gilbert knew Eli was his younger brother by blood, but for some reason, he had no
impression of him at all. However, Gilbert didn't care about that. He only knew that Eli had
poked the bear.
Gilbert originally did not want to get too involved with the Bradshaws. However, it was
clear that he could not do that anymore. Since the Bradshaws wanted him to return so
badly, he would do as they wished! However, would they truly be able to accept the
consequences?
He made up his mind. That night, Esther received a message from him, saying that he was
willing to return to the Bradshaw family.
Esther was thrilled. She had not seen Gilbert for many years, but he was still her son, after
all. He was capable and powerful. If Gilbert were to take over Bradshaw Operations, the
rest of the Bradshaws probably would not have anything against it.
However, Esther was not a fool either. Something must be up for Gilbert to agree so
suddenly. She would not believe him so easily. Deliberation was always needed for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeverything. Nevertheless, it was still a good outcome for her, no matter what.
The next day, Octavius and Eli learned that Gilbert was returning to the Bradshaw family.
Octavius didn't have any reaction. If this had happened in the past, he might be as happy
as Esther. However, he knew very clearly that Gilbert would not really want to return to
the family. He must have his motive for doing so.
Eli, on the other hand, said nothing. However, his mind was extremely twisted.
His men had failed yesterday night, and some were captured. He was afraid that those
people had already given him away. If they had confessed, the reason Gilbert suddenly
decided to return was worth pondering over.
He was worried that Gilbert was coming after him. However, no matter how much he
worried about it, he couldn't tell anyone. Otherwise, Esther would know he had attacked
Gilbert, and she certainly would not let him off the hook.
Also, he did not want to make Esther disappointed.
He was troubled and had no idea what to do for a moment.
