Chapter 268 She Forced You to Leave, Didn’t She?
Alec’s words might have worked on Jenny because she finally got up and had breakfast with him. Even
so, she looked gloomy and quiet.
“Gilbert’s leaving today, right?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
“Aren’t you sending him off?”
She shook her head and gave him a half-hearted answer while eating. “No. Just like you said, it’s not a
life- or-death matter. Why should I send him off?”
Alec shook his head helplessly and said nothing else. When Jenny finished breakfast, she went to lie on
the couch again. He had to drag her up. “Go change. I’ll bring you somewhere.”
“Where are we going?” She looked up but was in low spirits. It was obvious that she didn’t want to go
anywhere.

Perry Residence.
She finally realized where they were headed when she saw the huge Parrington Airport sign. Her heart.
fluttered as she glanced at him, but he was too focused on driving to notice the look in her eyes.
He parked the car, and they got out. Then, he quipped, “If you don’t want to send him off face-to-face,
can still do it stealthily.”

She didn’t reply to him but didn’t turn down the suggestion either. He brought her to the VIP lounge,
where she could have a clear view of the entrance to the boarding area.
“Thank you,” she whispered as she felt her heart opening up. Finally, her steely resolve was gradually
breaking down.
He smiled at her. Even though he disliked Gilbert, he wanted to cheer Jenny up.
Not long after, they saw Gilbert and Zack at the boarding area. The two men seemed to be chatting while
Gilbert scanned his surroundings as if he was anticipating someone. After a while, he looked away
disappointingly when he didn’t find the person he was searching for.
Jenny witnessed his actions and realized that not sending him off was a wise decision. Only then could
he give up on her.
Zack sighed when they reached the boarding gate. “Stop looking around. Jenny will not show up if she
says she won’t.”
“I’m not…” Gilbert had wanted to deny the fact that he was waiting for Jenny, but Zack’s eyes seemed to
be speaking to him.
“Quit denying because I knew everything.”
Gilbert fell silent.
“Let’s go.” Zack waved at him. Gilbert finally nodded despite feeling bitter. It was time to leave.
When he turned around to furnish his boarding pass, someone called out to him, “Gilbert Hawthorn!”
He spun around only to see Marigold Wagner hurrying over. There was no smile on his face. “Why are

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re leaving?” Worried and furious, she reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Why are you leaving? Is it because of Jenny Walter? She forced you to leave, didn’t she?”
Given that Gilbert was leaving in a hurry, Marigold assumed Jenny was the reason behind his departure-
there was no better reason otherwise.
“And what does this have to do with you? I’m warning you, Marigold Wagner, if you dare lay a finger on
Jenny, I won’t go easy on you!” Gilbert tried to warn Marigold, but she didn’t seem to register.
Given his response, Marigold was more confident Jenny must have had something to do with his
departure, and she seethed in resentment. Tears brimming in her eyes, she tugged at him. “Please don’t
go! I won’t give her trouble, but can you please stay?”
For the first time in her life, she met a man to whom she poured all her love. However, he was about to
leave without a good reason, which upset her.
“Sorry.” Shaking his head, Gilbert pushed her hand away and left.
