To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1069 He Will Not Marry Her

"Marigold is pregnant." Jenny didn't hide it from Evan. She didn't think there was a need to, as everyone would know sooner or later. The revelation stunned Evan. Uncertain, he asked, "Is the child Gilbert's?"

"Yeah." Jenny nodded.

Evan found it rather unbelievable. When he finally recovered from the shock, he asked Jenny, "Gilbert probably doesn't know yet, right?"

If he knew, he wouldn't be so calm.

"Not yet. I don't know if I should tell him." She was even more uncertain about how to break the news to Gilbert.

However, Jenny knew that Gilbert had to know. In fact, she agreed with Paul that Gilbert should marry Marigold. She wouldn't have been bothered if Gilbert and Marigold had only slept together. After all, they were both adults. However, with a child in the picture, everything had changed.

Evan seemed to understand her dilemma. "Gilbert probably won't marry Marigold. He won't, whether there's a child or not."

"Do you think that if he knew, he would ask Marigold to abort the child?" Jenny asked. If that were the case, she wouldn't want to tell Gilbert.

Evan nodded. "I think instead of trying to make Gilbert marry Marigold, you should try to persuade Marigold to get rid of the child."

His suggestion shocked Jenny. Never had she expected Evan to say that.

"Hey, don't get me wrong. I think it would be good for Marigold to cut all ties with him rather than marry someone who doesn't even love her," Evan said.

Jenny felt that he wasn't speaking the truth. In her opinion, Evan had the same mindset as Gilbert. They would rather die than marry a woman they didn't like. But how could Jenny ask Marigold to get rid of the child?

She didn't continue the conversation with Evan. Jenny decided she needed a second opinion, and it had to be from a woman.

Jenny gave Jade a call. Although she was closer to Stephanie, her friend had never been married and had less experience than Jade. In comparison, Jade was much more mature.

"He should definitely marry her. He made a mistake, so he should take responsibility!" Jade immediately expressed her opinion after hearing Jenny's story.

Jenny regretted calling her. She shouldn't have assumed that Jade would be more mature and level-headed. Judging from her angry tone, the news was making her emotional.

"Why didn't I realize that Gilbert was a scumbag? Why won't he take responsibility when there's a child? Despicable!" Jade grumbled.

Jenny was speechless. She explained, "Gilbert doesn't know that Marigold is pregnant yet."

"Hmph, with his character, even if he knows, he probably won't marry Marigold." She had stayed in Orchid Village for some time and had interacted with Gilbert. Hence, she knew a thing or two about him. Her words filled Jenny with despair. "Do you also think that Gilbert won't marry Marigold?"

"Well, whether he wants to or not, he ought to marry her. Since he made a mistake, shouldn't he be responsible for it?" Jade asked angrily.

Jenny didn't know what to say. After all, Marigold made the first move while drinking with Gilbert. It was hard to determine who was at fault.

"I'm just afraid that Gilbert won't want to." Jenny expressed her concern. Although Gilbert was her older brother, she couldn't force him if he didn't want to get married.
