Chapter 1366 Gilbert and Marigold (41)
Before she managed to touch the necklace, Gilbert grabbed her hand and said, “Just leave it on. It looks very good on you/ ’But…’
“Since you’re going to be my date for the party, just do as I say, alright?” Gilbert looked at her, and his tone was unusually gentle.
Marigold regained her senses. She thought he made sense after giving it a thought. It was probably because Gilbert didn’t want her to embarrass him at the party that he chose such a huge diamond necklace. At the thought of that, it seemed like this logic made sense.
She no longer had the intention to take it off anymore. She wanted to shake Gilbert’s hand off but realized she could not succeed. “I’m not going to take it down. Let go of me.’
Upon hearing that, Gilbert let go of her hand with slight embarrassment. After a brief moment of awkwardness, he said, “Let’s go. It’s almost time for us to leave.”
“Alright.” Marigold’s cheeks were flushed. She nodded and followed Gilbert. Her dress was a little long, so she could only walk out of the villa slowly while holding up her dress.
Seeing her walking like that, Gilbert immediately carried her in his arms.
“Ah! What are you doing?’ Marigold was shocked. She didn’t expect Gilbert would do that at all.
At the same time, Gilbert had already carried Marigold to the car, opened the front passenger door, and placed her on the seat. “This will save us time.”
With her cheeks flushed, Marigold wanted to say something. In the end, however, she still didn’t manage to say it. Gilbert was right. She could not waste his time.
Soon, Gilbert started the car and drove to the venue of the party. Both of them said nothing in the car. It was a little awkward. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Fortunately, the venue was not too far away, so they arrived very soon.
Gilbert got out of the car first and then made his way to the front passenger seat to open the door for Marigold. He extended his hand and helped Marigold out of the car.
Marigold was wearing a black gown. To match her, Gilbert also wore black. Both of them looked stunning when they arrived at the venue, and all eyes were on them.
The cameras followed them, and the reporters kept snapping photos of them. However, Marigold was a little camera-shy. She had not been to such an occasion for a very long time.
In the next second, Gilbert pulled her into his arms. Marigold’s heart could not stop pounding as his unique woody scent enveloped her.
The reporters gasped. It looked like their relationship had progressed.
With Gilbert’s arm wrapped around Marigold, they entered the venue. It was packed in there, and quite a number of people looked toward them as well. However, it was not as bad outside, so Marigold was more relaxed.
Gilbert didn’t have the intention of letting her go at all. Marigold was as red as a tomato as she said, “You can let me go now.”
“Alright.” Gilbert didn’t insist. However, the sudden emptiness in his arms made him feel a little down.
Jenny and Alec were in the near distance. They had arrived very early, so they saw Gilbert and Marigold as soon as they entered. Of course, Jenny and Alec caught the interaction between Gilbert
and Marigold.
Jenny was beaming brightly. “When do you think my brother and Marigold would be an item?”
Alec, who was next to her, was not interested in that at all. However, since Jenny asked him, he would not reject her. “Probably very soon.”
He had seen the way Gilbert looked at Marigold. Alec was a man himself, so he saw it even clearer. He was very happy to see this result. After all, Gilbert used to like Jenny. Alec was worried that Gilbert would still have Jenny on his mind. However, it seemed like Gilbert had already fallen in love with another woman, and that was good news to him.
Jenny had no clue Alec was thinking about that. When she heard his reply, she kept nodding her head. “I also feel they will be together very soon.”
