“You don’t have to do this.I’m fine.Besides, there are maids at home.”
It was just a superficial injury.
Marigold truly felt that Gilbert had exaggerated it.He made it seem like she was severely injured.
“Do you not want me to be at home?” Gilbert raised his head and looked at her.
Marigold was stunned.How could she not like that? She wanted him to stay at home very much.
“No, I was just afraid your work would be affected.” Gilbert looked away.
“It won’t.”
Upon hearing that, Marigold was sensible enough not to ask any other questions.
In any case, it was always good for him to be at home.
Even if they didn’t do anything, she would be happy to be able to take a couple more glances at him.
With that idea in mind, Marigold brought Caleb to the living room.
While playing with him, she kept secretly looking at Gilbert as he worked.It gave her a different sense of satisfaction.The day flew by very quickly.
In the past, Marigold had always felt that time was passing slowly when she was in the villa.
Perhaps because Gilbert was also around that day, Marigold felt that time was flying by.She felt she still didn’t have enough of the day.
Gilbert had no idea she was thinking about that.
In fact, when Marigold was secretly glancing at him, he was doing the same to her.
Seeing her playing with their child and hearing their laughter echoing in the living room, Gilbert suddenly felt it wasn’t too bad.
Was this not the family he had wanted in the past? Why was he still hesitating when he already had it at that moment? Gilbert made a decision.
After the matter regarding the Bradshaw family was resolved, he would confess to Marigold.
By then, whether they should start fresh and date again or get married straight away, he would be fine with it.
“Why are you staring at me?” Without Gilbert realizing it, Marigold had come to him.
He was still staring at her without hiding at all.
“Nothing.”
Gilbert panicked a little.He quickly resumed working.He had already made the decision but still had not figured out how to tell Marigold later on.
Gilbert and Marigold (53)
Marigold had no idea what he was thinking about as well. If she had, she would probably be even more nervous than Gilbert.
At night, both of them had dinner together. After that, Gilbert continued working in the living room, but Marigold didn’t stay.
She didn’t take a shower the day before, so she needed the maid to help her shower no matter what. She felt that she could do it herself. However, Gilbert insisted on having someone to help her. Otherwise, he would help her himself. Marigold had no choice but to choose to let the maid help her. She wasn’t quite used to it, but it was much better than allowing Gilbert to help her.
After Marigold took a shower, she didn’t intend to return to the living room. Therefore, she put on a nightgown and sat in bed. She was looking at her phone, checking the news, and not doing much.
Right at that moment, someone knocked on her door. After she asked the person to come in, Gilbert walked in.
“It’s you?” Marigold felt a little embarrassed. She thought it was the maid, so she didn’t ask. After all, she was wearing a nightgown. The fabric was not sheer, but she still looked different from how she usually dressed.
Gilbert had a serious face, and his eyes didn’t dart around. With the first-aid kit in hand, he came to Marigold. “It’s time to change the dressing for your wound.”
Marigold’s cheeks were flushed. “No need. I can do it myself.”
However, Gilbert was not there to ask her opinion. He grabbed her arm, and the cold touch made him swallow his saliva. Suddenly, a burning desire surged in him.
He cursed inwardly. Why would he have such a huge reaction when he had just touched her arm? Could it be because he had not been with a woman for too long? To be more precise, it wasn’t that he had not been with a woman for too long. Instead, Gilbert hadn’t touched another woman other than when he slept with Marigold.
He didn’t feel anything in the past. He wouldn’t think about it either. He had always been in a state of abstinence. However, he felt he could not hold himself back anymore at that moment.
Marigold had no idea Gilbert had thought of so many things in that short period of time. With his touch, she felt that the part of the arm he was touching was burning. The temperatures of their bodies were very drastically different.
It took a while for Gilbert to get his usual self back. He suppressed the burning desire with all his might, and then he started to change the dressing for Marigold’s wound.
There was no problem with her wound, but there was a big problem with the tension between them.
As Gilbert got nearer, Marigold became more and more nervous, so much so that even her breathing changed.
Gilbert was close to her, so he could feel her changes. He could feel her breath on top of his head, which was torture for him.
‘Is it done?” Marigold could not hold it in any longer. Only God knew how much she was suffering at that moment.
Gilbert said nothing. He just sped up his movements. Soon, he let go of Marigold’s arm. Right when she was about to let out a sigh of relief, the man suddenly made his next move.
He held Marigold’s head and kissed her hard.
At that moment, Marigold felt the world was spinning.
That kiss lasted for a long time. However, both of them seemed to want more.
‘You…” Marigold’s cheeks were as red as a tomato as she looked at Gilbert.
‘Give me some time,” Gilbert said.
Marigold did not know what he meant, but she did not reject him. “Alright.”
She thought that maybe Gilbert still needed a little time to confirm his feelings, or maybe he still had some other things that he had not finished doing. However, no matter what, they were already very close to being together.
Marigold was pleased. She wanted to burst out laughing. She wanted to tell everyone that she had finally conquered Gibert.
However, in the end, she still held it in. She could not be too overboard
Gilbert and Marigold (54)
The kiss left Gilbert wanting more, but at least it helped suppress his burning urge. He didn’t stay in Marigold’s room. He truly had no idea what might happen if he continued to stay.
Marigold, on the other hand, calmed down. She was still feeling the buzz at that moment. She didn’t care that Gilbert ran away in a wretched manner at all.
After Gilbert left, she immediately grabbed her phone and called Danika. She had to share the good news with Danika immediately, no matter what.
As soon as Danika picked up the call, Marigold hurriedly said, “Danika, I’ve won your brother over!”
Even though they were talking over the phone, Danika could feel Marigold’s excitement. “Is that so? Congratulations, my future sister-in-law.”
Being called Danika’s future sister-in-law made Marigold feel extra happy.
“How did you do it so quickly? I thought you guys would still need some time to make progress.” Danika felt it was strange. She felt that her brother was not such a straightforward person.
Marigold didn’t hide anything from Danika, so she told her everything that had happened that day. When she mentioned the kiss from earlier, Marigold couldn’t help but blush again. She had to admit that Gilbert was a great kisser. He left her wanting more.
Danika couldn’t help but want to laugh when she heard that. “I never expected there would come a day when Gilbert could not hold it in.”
It was a pity that she was not there to witness it. If she was in the same room as it happened, she would certainly be shocked beyond measure.
‘ But Danika, what do you think he meant by what he said? Why did he ask me to give him a little bit of time?” Marigold wasn’t confident, so she could only ask Danika. After all, Danika and Gilbert had known each other for a long time. She still could not compete with Danika in terms of how well she knew Gilbert.
Danika fell silent. Marigold had just told her that Gilbert had agreed to return to the Bradshaw family. Thinking of that, Danika made a guess and said, “I’m guessing it’s probably related to the Bradshaws. Perhaps he wanted to resolve the matters regarding them first before getting together with you.’
“Resolve the matters regarding the Bradshaws?’ Marigold didn’t understand what it meant.
‘ Mmhmm.” Danika didn’t tell her more. Some things would only be a burden to Marigold if Danika told her about them. “Anyway, don’t worry about it too much. Don’t worry, and just wait. After Gilbert has taken care of everything, he will surely give you a satisfactory answer.”
Danika knew Gilbert’s character. Those people who tried to kill them yesterday were Eli’s men. She knew her brother wouldn’t just leave it at that. However, Danika did not know why he chose to return to the Bradshaw family. However, she had a feeling that the Bradshaw family would no longer know peace.
‘ Alright. Since you said so, I won’t think about it too much. I’ll just wait without worrying about it.” If Danika did not reassure her, she really would overthink very easily.
She chatted with Danika for a little longer before hanging up the call. As she lay in bed, her head was filled with the kiss from earlier.
It was not that they had never kissed before. However, this was the first time that Gilbert was the one who initiated it. To her, the meaning was completely different.
Marigold truly could not sleep. She got up, left the room, and went to
Caleb’s room next door.
He was already asleep, but Marigold didn’t mind. She sat next to his bed and told him everything that had happened that day.
“Cal, your parents are to be together soon. Are you happy?” Marigold looked at the child’s face. It seemed like what she had been worried about this whole time would not be happening anymore.
As long as she and Gilbert were together, Caleb would never be a child without a father. In the future, people wouldn’t make fun of him. Thinking of that and Gilbert’s change. Marigold felt everything was worth it
Gilbert and Marigold (55)
That night, Marigold was so happy that she couldn’t sleep. When she woke up the next morning, the dark circles under her eye frightened Gilbert.
‘ What happened? Were you unwell last night?” he asked with concern. He thought it was because she was not feeling well that she had trouble sleeping.
Marigold was too embarrassed to say she could not sleep because she was too happy. Therefore, she brushed him off by saying, “It’s fine. I stayed up too late playing on my phone.”
