Chapter 1388 Gilbert and Marigold (63)

When Marigold heard that Gilbert was not just thinking for himself but also for her and their child, for some reason, she stopped being angry. She looked at him, unable to imagine how hard it had been on him.

She sighed and said, “Even so, you should have just told me everything. Did you think I’d blame you?” She didn’t like being lied to.

’I was worried that you’d overthink things,” Gilbert answered.

Marigold looked at him, her lips curling upward. “Overthink about what? Why would I do that? We don’t seem to have anything going on between us. ■ RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Sure, they had their romantic moments, but neither of them had really cut through the fog between them. In other words, they were nothing to each other at all. Regardless of whether Gilbert wanted to or not, Marigold had no right to demand an explanation from him.

“Just give me some more time, Marigold. Wait for me to settle the Bradshaws.” It wasn’t that Gilbert didn’t want to take their relationship to the next level. It was that he didn’t dare to.

Every day that the Bradshaws were not pacified, the sword aimed at his neck drew closer. If anything were to happen in the event of him and Marigold getting together, no one would be able to bear the consequences.

They just had to hold on.

At least until he settled everything.

Marigold understood what he meant, but she wasn’t sure of it. “Does that mean you’ll confess to me after you’ve dealt with the Bradshaws?”

It was a little straightforward, but she no longer wanted to play charades with him. A little proactiveness would make everyone’s lives easier. At least, her life would be.

“Yes.” Gilbert did not deny it. That was exactly what he was thinking.

He’d admitted to it.

Marigold didn’t think that this was real.

She thought that he would simply refuse to answer the question and was fully prepared for him to just divert the topic. Never in her dreams would she think that this day would come. Her heart beat harder.

Perhaps because of her overwhelming joy, she forgot what to say.

Seeing how quiet she was, Gilbert hurriedly said, “Well, I can wait if you’re not willing to.”

He knew he had wronged her in the past, and she would naturally be upset with him. Now, he was willing to be the assertive one.

“I am! Oh, I am!” Marigold nodded quickly. In fact, she wanted Gilbert to confess right now. She’d waited for so long for this moment to arrive. How could she refuse?

Gilbert smiled. He didn’t seem surprised by it. He knew that Marigold liked him. Throughout all their little interactions with each other, he knew that she had never held any grudges against him, even if he were the one who didn’t want the child.

Marigold was smiling from the bottom of her heart. “Why?”

“What?” Gilbert didn’t get it.

“Why do you like me all of a sudden? I remember you saying that you had no feelings for me.” Although Gilbert had fallen for her, and it was a joyful moment for her, she hadn’t completely lost her rationality.

If one needed a reason to hate, one would need a reason to love, too.

Gilbert’s feelings for her were just a little out of the blue.

He smiled. “I wouldn’t know, either. Maybe it’s because we’ve spent a long time together, and you’re different from what I thought. You’re a very likable person.”

That was probably what people meant when they said feelings would develop overtime.

Marigold was surprised, too. When Jenny suggested living with Gilbert so that their feelings for each other could develop, Marigold didn’t believe it. She thought that it would never happen with Gilbert.

But it seemed that Jenny knew Gilbert better than she did.
