However, she wasn’t allowed to conceive out of wedlock.
It would turn the Wagners into a laughingstock.
Therefore, regardless of what Marigold wanted, he would make Gilbert responsible for his actions.
You Know Best How Gilbert Is
“Even if she likes Gilbert, it doesn’t prove the child is his, right? If it is his, don’t you think he would acknowledge the child?”
Danika didn’t believe Gilbert was so heartless.
However, Paul seemed amused by her words.
“You know best how Gilbert is.If he doesn’t like a woman, would he marry her? I bet Gilbert would force Marigold to abort the child if he finds out she’s pregnant.”
Danika was about to say that it was impossible, but thinking about it carefully, she knew it was very likely.
Chewing on her lip, she was at a loss for words.
After along silence, she finally asked, “So, what do you want?”
Regardless of whether it was true, she had to figure out what Paul was after.
“It’s simple.I want Gilbert to marry Marigold.He must be responsible for his actions.”
He wasn’t trying to cause trouble for Gilbert.
However, since Marigold insisted on giving birth to the child, the least he could do was ensure that the child would have a father.
Danika frowned again.She couldn’t make any promises on Gilbert’s behalf.
“I’ll need to investigate whether what you said is true.”
“Suit yourself.But if you find out it’s true, you’d better convince Gilbert to marry Marigold.Otherwise, I don’t know what I would do.”
If Gilbert refused to marry Marigold after finding out that she was pregnant, Paul would never let it go.
Danika didn’t continue the conversation—her thoughts were a jumbled mess.She returned to the hospital without even having lunch.
When she arrived at her office, she had someone investigate the relationship between Gilbert and Marigold.
Suddenly, she remembered Evan mentioning that something happened to Gilbert when he was abroad.
At that time, Gilbert explained that he had been injured by his enemy.
However, in retrospect, their expressions were a little odd when they explained the situation to her. She was eager to know what was going on, but there were still patients to see in the afternoon, so she had to wait until after work to rush to Evan’s place.
Evan was surprised by her early arrival.
“Danika, why did you come back so early today? Have you completed all your duties at the hospital?”
“Evan, I want to ask you a question,”
Danika said as she approached him.
Danika didn’t appear to be in a good mood, and it scared Evan.
Had she found out? Just as he began to worry, Danika asked, “Did something happen between Gilbert and Marigold when he was abroad?”
Evan calmed down.
It turned out that she was asking about Gilbert.
“Well…didn’t he tell you?”
Evan didn’t answer her question.
After all, Gilbert didn’t want Danika to know about it.
“I know he lied.Evan, please tell me the truth.It is very important to me,” Danika said.
After glancing at her, Evan didn’t bother to hide anything and told her the truth.
It turned out that after Marigold went abroad, she often pestered Gilbert, but Gilbert was never interested in her and didn’t treat her well.
During a party, Gilbert got drunk and gave Marigold a chance.
In their drunken stupor, they slept together.
It became pretty big news, but somehow the news didn’t reach their home country.
Danika’s expression turned ugly after hearing that, as she had no idea about it.
“Danika, did something happen? Why are you suddenly asking about it?” Evan asked.
Danika wouldn’t have asked if nothing happened.
He Will Not Marry Her
“Marigold is pregnant.”
Danika 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.” Danika nodded.
Evan found it rather unbelievable.
When he finally recovered from the shock, he asked Danika, “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, Danika 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?” Danika 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 Danika.
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.
Danika 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 Danika ask Marigold to get rid of the child? She didn’t continue the conversation with Evan.
Danika decided she needed a second opinion, and it had to be from a woman.
Danika 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 Danika’s story.
Danika 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!”
