Chapter 1347 Gilbert and Marigold (22)
Seeing that both of them had gifts prepared, Marigold felt embarrassed. She waved her
hands quickly. "Oh, there's no need for those. Your presence is enough. He's still young. He
doesn't need presents."
'Oh, just take it. It's for the kid." Jenny gave it to Marigold. Caleb was indeed young, so his
mother had to take it for him.
Marigold didn't know if she should take it. She looked at Gilbert for help.
’Just take it. It's expected of them." They were Caleb's aunt and uncle.
They wouldn't escape formalities like this.
Marigold no longer refused since Gilbert put it that way. She reached out for the gifts. "I'll
take care of them for him and give it to him when he's older."
After the presents, everyone continued eating.
The party was not over after everyone was done eating. Gilbert had other activities

they wanted.
After the meal, Jenny stayed by Marigold's side. She loved Caleb a lot. He was soft and
chubby, and Jenny wanted to squeeze him.
After Gilbert was done tending to the guests, he sat at the poolside alone, staring off into
the distance.
’What are you thinking about, Gilbert?" Zack appeared out of nowhere and sat in a lounge
chair nearby.
Gilbert looked at him. "Aren't you going to keep Janet company?"
After Zack's wedding, he and Janet went everywhere together. They had not separated
from each other at all. Every time Gilbert called him, Zack was with Janet.
’Of course, I need to accompany my wife. But I can’t ignore my brother." Zack rubbed his
nose, knowing that Gilbert was just teasing him.
’Why do I need your attention?" Gilbert straightened. He thought he was alright today, and
he was in a good mood, too.
Zack looked at him, finally deciding to tell the truth. "Jenny and I are both married. It's
only you left. Of course, we're worried."
'Oh, so you're just here to rush me into marriage?" Gilbert was amused. Married people
were a different breed, after all. Zack used to scoff at marriage whenever it was brought
up in the past, but now, he was rushing Gilbert into one.
Zack looked embarrassed, but he went on. "Maybe. Jenny and I are worried to see you still
single."
’Do I need your worry?" Gilbert didn't think there was anything about him worth worrying
about.
But Zack didn't think so. "If you don't marry, who knows if you'll suddenly want to move
out of the country to be a priest? I don't want to see you actually doing that."

Gilbert was speechless. "Don't you worry about me. I'll marry when fate determines it." He
didn't say he was completely resistant to marriage, only that fate hadn't allowed him to
yet.
‘What do you mean, fate? Aren't you and Marigold fated to be together?" Zack thought
that it was enough for them.
Although that night they spent together was nothing glorious, having a child and then
living together was fate in itself, wasn’t it?
At the mention of Marigold, Gilbert's expression turned sour. "Did she tell you to come
here?"
’She'd never told me to say this. I wanted to tell you myself. When you and Marigold were
up on that stage, you looked like a family. I think it wouldn't be a bad thing for you to get
together," Zack explained.
Gilbert was silent.
Zack continued, "Gilbert, just think about it. She's not having an easy time right now. She
gave birth to your son, and she's physically weak. She'll fall ill any moment. Don't you feel
sorry for her, just a little bit?"
