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."

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.
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."
