He figured she would take Danika and Marigold’s side as she was also a woman.
Zack rose from his seat and headed to the door, waiting for Danika to arrive.
Janet trailed behind him and asked softly, “Do you want me to go with you guys?”
“No thanks.Gilbert will be even more unhappy if you go,” Zack said without filtering his thoughts.
It wasn’t until he had said it that he couldn’t salvage the situation.
“Janet, I didn’t mean like that.”
“I know, Zack.I know Gilbert doesn’t like me,”
Janet said with a wry smile.
In fact, she had always been aware of it.
“Don’t think too much about it.I will take care of everything,”
Zack assured her.He had already decided to be with Janet, regardless of whether Gilbert liked her or not.
Moreover, Gilbert had no say in his love life.
Hearing that, Janet felt a little relieved.
“Okay, I understand.”
Just then, Danika’s car pulled up in front of them.
Poking her head out the window, she called, “Let’s go, Zack.”
“Janet, please head back in.You’ll have to have dinner by yourself tonight as Danika and I probably won’t be coming back.”
They would probably have dinner if they went to Gilbert’s place.
Janet nodded and gestured for him to enter the car.She then nodded at Danika as a gesture of greeting.
Janet knew that Danika was just like Gilbert; they both didn’t like her.
The only difference was that Danika was less obvious about it.
However, Janet didn’t hold any grudges against Danika.
After all, her past wasn’t the best.
If Danika meant Zack well, it would only be expected of her not to like Janet.
After Zack got in the car, Danika started the car and drove away.
After a while, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you really like Janet that much?”
“Yes.”
Zack didn’t elaborate.
His actions and behavior had been clear enough, so Danika should be aware of it too.
Danika didn’t know what to say.
“Aren’t you afraid she’s tricking you? What if she doesn’t love you at all but only loves your money? “Then I’ll work harder to earn more money,” Zack said.
That caught Danika by surprise, rendering her speechless.
Zack laughed at the sight.
“Danika, don’t worry about me and Janet.You have to trust my judgment.I won’t misjudge a person.”
Danika didn’t comment, but she thought, “You’ve never even been in a relationship.How can you trust your own judgment?”
However, she didn’t say it aloud.
After all, she didn’t want to sour her relationship with Zack For the time being, they had to focus on solving the issue between Gilbert and Marigold.
When Did You Start Pressuring Me to Get Married?
They soon arrived at Gilbert’s villa.
As they had called in advance, Gilbert was already home when they arrived.
Seeing the two of them get out of the car, Gilbert’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Come on in.”
Although spring was approaching, it was still snowing in Bardoff City, with temperatures being very low.
The three of them entered the house.
Zack didn’t bring Janet with him, so Gilbert had no objections and spoke to him in a much better tone than he had used during their last encounter.
“Gilbert, Zack, you haven’t had dinner, right?” Danika said first, making it clear that they were here for a meal.
“Don’t worry.Do you think I will starve you?”
Gilbert laughed.
Danika grinned and watched as Gilbert walked into the kitchen.
Then, she pulled Zack to sit on the sofa nearby.
“Danika, when do you plan to ask?” Zack asked softly, his eyes never leaving the kitchen.
Danika pursed her lips.She was not sure.
“How about…you ask, Zack? ue As soon as she said that, Zack quickly moved away from her and kept his distance.
“Absolutely not! Are you trying to get me killed?”
If he dared to tell Gilbert to marry Marigold, Gilbert would kill him, and Zack was not ready to die yet.
“Alright, alright.I’ll ask him, okay? You should look at your face— you were so scared,” Danika said, sighing helplessly.
As Zack scooted back to sit beside her, Danika couldn’t help but complain, “Zack, you used to say that you would protect me and rush to the front for anything.It hasn’t been long, but you’ve already forgotten your promise.”
Zack laughed awkwardly.
“This is different.”
Danika harrumphed at his reply as she saw no difference.
While the two discussed how to broach the topic, Gilbert was oblivious to what was about to happen.He was still cooking with a blissful smile on his face.He guessed they had come for a meal because Zack and Janet had broken up, so he was very happy.
Alas, his guess was completely wrong.
“Gilbert, let me help you,” Danika said, walking into the kitchen and helping him with the vegetables.
“No need, I can handle it myself.”
With only the three of them eating, he did not need to make too much food.
Danika didn’t leave but insisted on staying in the kitchen to help.
“Gilbert, you’re such a good cook Whoever marries you will definitely be happy,” she said in an attempt to gauge his reaction.
To her disappointment, Gilbert didn’t react much.
“I haven’t thought that far.I’m already very content to cook for you and Zack.
“How can you not think about it, Gilbert? You should think about yourself.”
Danika felt a little sad.
Gilbert had been thinking about her and Zack for years and rarely looked after himself. His hands trembling, he smiled wryly.
“Danika, when did you start pressuring me to get married too?”
“Oh, I just wanted to see your thoughts about it, Gilbert,”
Danika didn’t deny that she was urging him to get married.
She said so much to let Gilbert be mentally prepared, so he wouldn’t be too shocked later.
Gilbert fell silent for a moment, seeming to be really considering it.
After a long while, he said, “I don’t have any plans for the time being.Maybe it’s because I haven’t met someone I like.”
Danika was frustrated.
When would he ever meet someone he liked? It seemed like the time would never arrive.
