To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 1345

Chapter 1345 Gilbert and Marigold (20)

Even if they weren’t married, as long as they stood together, no one would dare to speculate and gossip about the nature of their relationship. By doing so, naturally, no one would make fun of Marigold’s awkward status. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

At the moment, anyone could see that they were clearly not fond of each other, and people would inevitably gossip about their weird relationship behind their backs. Those gossips would then extend to their child.

With Jenny’s reminder, Marigold suddenly realized she’d been careless and didn’t think things through. “I didn’t consider the matter carefully enough.”

Immediately, she stood beside Gilbert with a smile on her face. No matter how distant they were at home, when they were in public, they had to pretend that their relationship was amicable. It was just that they didn’t get married.

Seeing her come to this realization, Jenny felt relieved.

Jenny wanted to ask Gilbert what he thought of Marigold presently, but given the special circumstances that day and the sheer number of people present, she thought it was not the right time for her to approach him about this. She would find another time to talk to him about it.

After Jenny and Alec entered the hall and found their seats, they discovered that Zack and Janet had already arrived ahead of them.

“Jenny, you’re late,” Zack said.

Jenny glanced at him and teased, “Hey, Zack. Ever since you got married, I rarely see you around. Have you abandoned me, your sister, because you have a wife now?”

Janet’s cheeks turned red, and she glared at Zack in annoyance.

She had no idea Zack was purposely keeping to themselves. She’d previously mentioned inviting Jenny and the others over for a meal, but Zack said it was troublesome, and their relationship was good enough that they didn’t need to keep in touch so frequently unless something big came up.

Janet didn’t understand these things, nor did she believe there was any relationship in this world that didn’t require any form of upkeeping and maintenance. So now, when she heard Jenny’s words, she was unable to register the fact that Jenny was just joking and took it literally.

‘I’m sorry, Jenny. It’s all my fault-“

“Why are you apologizing, silly?” Zack interrupted her. “She was joking.”

‘I was joking, Janet,” Jenny confirmed.

Zack comforted Janet before looking at Jenny and saying, “Don’t deliberately tease her. She doesn’t handle teasing well.”

Perhaps it was due to Janet’s upbringing and the environment she grew up in, but she would get hung up on every word and reaction from others. She was afraid of offending people and worried about how others might perceive her. In general, she was very sensitive.

‘Got it, Zack. I didn’t expect you to be so doting toward your wife,” Jenny remarked. Before he met Janet, she had never imagined him to be this kind of person.

“It’s what I should do, isn’t it?” he asked rhetorically, proudly pulling Janet into his embrace.

Janet lowered her head and felt too embarrassed to face anyone.

Jenny chuckled lightly. “Yes, of course.”

’Oh, stop being jealous. Don’t I dote on you excessively too?” Alec also pulled her into his embrace jokingly. He wouldn’t let his wife lose to anyone.

Seeing him wanting her to gain the upper hand in such a trivial issue, Jenny felt kind of helpless as she replied, ‘Yes, you do.”

The people at the other tables nearby were speechless when they heard the two men arguing about who doted more on their wives.

What was going on? Weren’t they there for a baby’s naming ceremony? Why were they forced to watch such blatant and unabashed displays of public affection?

’There’s something I want to tell you,” Zack spoke again, putting on a serious expression.

Jenny turned to look at him as he said, “I found my biological parents.”

The smile on Jenny’s face vanished instantly, and she became solemn.’ You found them?”

’Yeah,” Zack nodded. “They’re overseas. Actually, I’ve received information about them before, but I just wasn’t really keen on finding them. But…” He glanced at the person next to him and added, “Later on, I thought that since I already knew where they were, I should at least go and see them. Otherwise, it might be a lifelong regret for me.” After a slight pause, he continued with a sneer, “I didn’t expect I’d really found them.” He’d never expected that everything would go so smoothly.
