Chapter 202 Never Be with Him
*Technical consultant?” Jenny was a little hesitant. “But you don’t need one. Your skills are no worse than
mine. We’re just good in different fields.”
Since Zack’s company specialized in cybersecurity, Jenny figured he could handle it on his own
completely. After all, unlike Zack, she was better at infiltrating networks instead of creating a good
network defense system.
“It’s because we’re good at different fields that I invited you to join. With you by my side, wouldn’t my
company be invincible?” Zack grinned, not hiding his true intentions.
Jenny gave it a thought for a while before nodding. “Okay, but I won’t have much time to visit the
company.”
“It’s okay. Just come whenever you’re needed.” Zack didn’t want to burden Jenny, so he decided not to

While they discussed their cooperation, Gilbert seemed to be a little down. “Jenny, I invited you to join my
company, but you never agreed.”
“Well, it’s because I know a little about Zack’s company while I don’t understand anything about your
company’s trade. It wouldn’t make sense for me to join yours.”
Given Gilbert’s abilities, he didn’t need anybody’s help. So, Jenny didn’t agree to his request.
Gilbert didn’t push the argument any further. Instead, he shifted his focus to taking care of Jenny and her
household. “I’ll cook for you at noon and dust this place,” he said, taking a deep breath to calm himself.
Jenny smiled gratefully. “That’d be wonderful, and maybe Justin and Lilian can try your cooking too.
They’ll love it.”
Gilbert checked the fridge and sighed. “We need to go grocery shopping. Jenny, come with me?”
“Sure thing. Zack, can you look after the kids while we’re out?”
“Of course. I’m great with kids,” Zack replied confidently. He had spent a lot of time playing with the
children in Orchid Village, so he was sure he could handle Justin and Lilian.
As soon as Jenny and Gilbert left, Zack invited the two siblings to play video games with him. What could
be more fun than video games?
“Here, try it out,” Zack offered the controller to Justin, but he declined.
“Jenny said that we’re too young to play video games, Justin said, his voice full of righteous indignation.
“Come on, just for a little bit. She won’t scold you,” Zack insisted.
However, Justin still refused. Taking Lilian away to play with toys, he said, “You can play that yourself.
We’ll play with our toys.”
Zack was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with them. In the past, the children in his village had.

kids. Soon enough, they were enticed by the game, and Zack felt triumphant.

Jenny and Gilbert pushed their shopping carts to the vegetable section in the supermarket. While they
were selecting vegetables, Gilbert suddenly stopped and looked at her.
“What’s wrong?” Jenny asked.
Gilbert hesitated for a moment before blurting out, “Jenny, can you make me a promise?”
It surprised her. “What promise?”
Gilbert took a deep breath and said, “Promise me that you’ll never be with Alec.”
Jenny’s eyes widened in surprise, which didn’t go unnoticed by Gilbert. She never expected him to make
such a request; it was out of character for him to do so.
Gilbert asked again, “Can you promise me, Jenny?”
His eyes were fixed on her, waiting for an answer.
