Chapter 1077 Nobody Likes A Schemer
When she returned to Evan's place, she found him waiting for her, which made her a little
embarrassed. "Evan, you haven't slept yet?"
"No, I was waiting for you." Evan smiled at her softly. His gentle gaze was so welcoming
that Jenny wondered if she would have fallen for him again if she hadn't met Alec before
Evan came back.
After all, he was the one she had liked when she was young, and although it seemed a bit
ridiculous looking back, she still had a teeny bit of feelings left for him. Unfortunately, it
would never happen because in the time Evan went missing, someone else filled the gap
in her heart.
"Is your headache better?" Jenny asked.
Evan nodded, indicating that he was fine now.
"Did you have a talk with him?' He knew what Jenny went to find Gilbert for and was

As soon as that topic was brought up, Jenny sighed. "Yes."
"It appears that Gilbert is not willing to take responsibility." Evan took a guess. If Gilbert
was, Jenny would be looking so upset.
Jenny walked to the sofa and sat down with a sad look on her face." Gilbert said that he
won't accept the child regardless of whether it is his or not."
"I understand." Evan was not surprised as it was not out of character for Gilbert. As long
as he didn't like her, Marigold's unborn child would never sway him.
Jenny sighed again. "I just thought, after all, since they have a child, if Gilbert doesn't hate
Marigold, maybe he could give her a chance."
Whether they ended up married was another matter, but at least they could get to know
each other. What if they fell in love?
"Nobody likes a schemer." After saying that, Evan felt that this statement wasn't good
enough. "Well, to be exact, no one likes falling into the traps set by others."
Some people might fall in love with each other in a situation like that, but Evan was not
one of them.
Jenny understood Evan's stance, and because she understood it, it made her even more
worried.
She wondered what she should do. Should she just watch Marigold give birth to the child
and raise the child alone?
Jenny didn't grow up with her parents. Hence, she didn't want Gilbert's child to grow up
without its father, as it would be cruel to the child.
"Jenny, there are some things you can't change. Just do your best and let them decide for
themselves." Seeing her frowning, Evan knew what she was worrying about and felt
slightly distressed.
Jenny nodded, understanding that it was futile for her to worry about it." Evan, go to bed.
It's late."

"Okay." Evan did not refuse. After all, he had only remained in the living room so that he
could see Jenny when she came back.
Jenny wheeled Evan upstairs. After seeing him enter his room, Howard followed. There was
no need for her to take care of him. In fact, she hadn't taken care of Evan much since
moving in.
Jenny lay in her room, thinking about whether she should meet Marigold tomorrow. Just
then, her phone rang. Jenny didn't need to look at the caller ID to know that it was Alec
calling.
"Jenny," Alec said through the phone. "Just got back?"
"Yeah, I went to see Gilbert, just got back,’ Jenny answered, getting up and walking to the
window. As she had expected, Alec was standing across from her, waving and smiling
brightly.
"Have you had dinner?" Jenny asked, worried that Alec might forget to eat because he was
busy.
Upon hearing her concern, Alec was very happy. "Yes, I have. Of course, I’d follow your
instructions."
