Chapter 861 Can’t Force It
After the trio of them were done with their conversation, they stood up and went to the parking lot. Gilbert asked Jenny to wait in place while he took Evan to get the car.
On the way there, Gilbert looked somewhat displeased with Evan. ’I brought you back so you could pursue Jenny and make her happy, not say things you shouldn’t say in front of her.’
Evan looked innocent as he shrugged and said helplessly, “How was I supposed to know that you never told her? With all the commotion, I thought Jenny already knew.”
“I didn’t want her to know,” Gilbert said.
“Okay, I promise I won’t say anything in front of her, alright?” Evan didn’t think too much about it. It was indeed embarrassing, and it was understandable that Gilbert didn’t want Jenny to know.
Seeing that Evan didn’t mean any harm, Gilbert didn’t say anything more but asked,
“How’s it going? Why do I feel like Jenny is still indifferent toward you?”
“Oh, you’re pretty spot on with that.” Evan didn’t see the need to deceive Gilbert. It was true that he hadn’t successfully won Jenny over, and he wasn’t as confident as before.
His words angered Gilbert. “What do you mean by that?”
“Jenny has rejected me. She said she only sees me as a brother,” Evan explained, feeling a little dismayed. If he hadn’t rejected Jenny’s confession, they might have been married by now. He was too young to know how to cherish what had been his. Gilbert stared at him blankly, not knowing how Evan could say that so calmly. “So?
You’re just giving up like this?”
“Of course not, but I can only take it slow. You know Jenny. If I push too hard, she’ll only resist me harder.”
That was something they both understood. Gilbert felt annoyed and even began to doubt if bringing Evan back was the right decision. If Jenny didn’t like him, then what was the point of him coming back?
Sensing what Gilbert was thinking, Evan patted his shoulder. “Things like this are ultimately up to fate. We can’t force it.”
Besides, this was Jenny they were talking about. Even if they wanted to force it, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
“Fate?” Gilbert murmured, then sighed bitterly.
“Don’t think too much about it. I brought Jenny with me today to see you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stayed with me for so long. So, you should understand your role, right?” Evan asked.
Gilbert gave him a disdainful look and scolded, “Do I have to help you with pursuing Jenny now? Can’t you come up with better ideas?”
“I want to, but I really can’t find any.”
If it were any other woman, he could either be forceful or use money. But Jenny was different. He couldn’t do that with her. More importantly, would Jenny accept him if he used his usual ways on her?
Obviously, she wouldn’t.
Gilbert felt a headache coming on and rubbed his temples. Ultimately, he decided not to say anything anymore and took Evan to his car. Jenny was still waiting at the original spot, and when she saw the
two of them driving over, she didn’t think too much and just hopped on.
“Gilbert, have you been busy with your company lately? How are things?” They hadn’t been in touch much these days, so Jenny didn’t know much about Gilbert’s recent situation. She was concerned and wanted to know more when she finally saw him. Gilbert nodded as he drove. “It’s been good, and everything is on track. I’ve contacted Zack, and he should be coming to Bardoff City soon.”
Although Zack’s company was thriving in Parrington, both Gilbert and Jenny were in
Bardoff City, so there was no reason for him to continue to stay in Parrington.
Moreover, Bardoff City had relatively better development opportunities. As long as Zack had bigger aspirations, he would definitely come to Bardoff City. It was better for him to come over so that they could watch each other’s backs.
