Chapter 238 What on Earth Happened?
The sudden ringing of a phone startled the both of them. Jenny came back to her senses and pulled
away from Alec’s lips.
“What’s wrong, Gilbert?” she said, answering the call.
“Where are you? Are you alright?” Gilbert’s voice sounded from the other end. He sounded anxious,
worried.
Jenny frowned. She sensed that something was wrong with him. “What’s wrong, Gilbert? What
happened?” “Nothing…nothing.” Gilbert was tripping over his words. He didn’t know how to explain
himself.
“What on earth happened?” Jenny was not a fool. She could tell from Gilbert’s tone that something had
happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGilbert was quiet. Then, he said, “It’s really nothing much. I just fought with Marigold, and she might have
gotten the wrong idea. I was worried that she would go for you.”
“A fight?” Jenny thought that was weird. Would Gilbert fight with someone? She’d never seen anything
like that.
“It’s just a misunderstanding. Well, if she goes to you, ignore her. Don’t believe anything she says,”
Gilbert said. However, the worry in his heart had not dissipated.
“Okay.” Jenny wasn’t sure what went on between them, so she couldn’t offer an opinion. She hung up
and put the phone away before noticing Alec was looking at her.
“Was that Gilbert?”
“Yeah.” She nodded.
“He sure picked a good time to call,” Alec said sarcastically. He hated him with all his heart.
Jenny ignored him and acted as usual. “Send me home.”
“Jenny, I-”
“Send me home!” Jenny cut him off, raising her voice. She looked angry, but the blush on her face gave
away how she truly felt.
Alec said nothing else and began driving toward Perry Residence.
Not long after, the car stopped at the entrance. Jenny was about to get out of the car, but Alec called out
to her. “Jenny, I’m sorry for what happened to Stephanie. I’m not asking you to forgive me, just that you
don’t push me away.”
“Right.” There was no way to tell if Jenny was pleased or upset. She got down the car and went into the
apartment, disappearing from his sight.
Jenny was still thinking about what Alec had said in the elevator. Should she believe him, she wondered.
The elevator stopped at her floor, and she got out. She made the short walk home and saw someone
there, which surprised her. The visitor looked to have been waiting for a long time. When the visitor saw
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher, she widened her eyes and glared at Jenny as if she were her enemy.
Jenny was bewildered. “Marigold?” she said, puzzled. Gilbert had called to say that Marigold might come
looking for her, and here she was.
“Hmph. I was beginning to think you were too scared to come home,” Marigold scoffed coldly, her arms.
crossed. She shot daggers at Jenny.
Jenny was even more confused. “Why would I be afraid to come home? I don’t understand what you’re
saying.”
“Really?” Marigold smiled and walked toward her. “It’s just the two of us here. What’s the point of keeping
up the act?”
“What act?” Jenny was getting irritated. She was nice to Marigold when they met. Why was she treating
her like she was the bane of her existence now?
Marigold grew angrier. “What’s going on between you and Gilbert? He’s your brother. Don’t you think it’s
disgusting?”
