To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Incompatible

Alec was silent for a long time. Just as Jenny thought he was about to get angry again, he said, “I’ll pick you up for the birthday party tomorrow.”

“You don’t have to do that.” When Jenny’s rejection was met with Alec’s murderous gaze, she explained, Max invited me to the party first.”

In other words, Alec was too late. Jenny noted the violent heaving of Alec’s chest, and she guessed that he was on the verge of lashing out in rage.

After remaining silent for so long that Jenny thought he would never speak again, Alec suddenly said, ” Alright then, I’ll wait for you at the venue.”

Jenny didn’t try to provoke him further. After all, offending him would do her no good. She just wanted to set clear boundaries with him.

As she reached for another skewer, she asked, “Won’t you be with Yvonne?”

“Who said that?” Alec immediately retorted. “We grew up together, so we’re just close friends.”

He had never liked anyone in the past, which was why he allowed himself to get so close to Yvonne. Everyone thought they would end up together, and even Alec himself thought that way too. He didn’t feel anything about it as he had no expectations for love and marriage for the longest time. Therefore, he had no qualms about marrying Yvonne.

It didn’t matter to him who he married. After all, he was familiar with Yvonne, and the Dickmans could help the Fausts to a certain extent. However, it all changed when he met Jenny.

“Since you grew up together, aren’t you two childhood sweethearts?” Jenny asked, giggling. She continued to tease him, saying, “Why don’t you guys just get together?”

“I don’t like her.” After meeting Jenny, he knew what it meant to like someone.

Jenny shrugged, not believing him. “Aren’t you going to eat?” she asked, noticing that Alec hadn’t touched. the food.

“It’s unhygienic,” he replied, shaking his head before adding, “Since you have stomach issues, you should eat less of such things.”

Jenny, however, wasn’t bothered by his words. She quipped, “So you see, we’re incompatible. We have nothing in common. Even our lifestyles are different.”

Alec fell silent.

“Think about it carefully. Perhaps you don’t truly like me. Maybe you just like the chase and the challenge. because I’ve always been a little mean and rude to you?

Jenny thought that the possibility of that being the reality of the situation was very high. As soon as she was done talking, Alec braved himself, picked up several skewers, and started to eat.

Dumfounded, Jenny watched him and chided, “You don’t have to force yourself to eat that. I was making an example. Eating this doesn’t change anything.”

“Hey, it tastes really good. No wonder it’s your favorite,” Alec announced, disregarding whatever Jenny had said.

She didn’t bother to say more as she figured he would give up on her sooner or later.

After the meal, they headed back to Perry Residence together. When Jenny was about to enter her home,

Alec asked, “Does this mean our previous misunderstandings have been resolved?”

“I guess,” Jenny replied, nodding. “But that doesn’t mean I like you.”

“It’s okay. There’s still time. As long as you don’t hate me, there are plenty of opportunities.” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Alec was delighted with the situation. Jenny, on the other hand, figured he was out of his mind. With that, she closed the door behind her.

Alec smiled to himself as he headed to his place. He turned on the lights, revealing the black walls of his living room, which resembled a suffocating prison. Alec, however, didn’t feel that way.

Pouring himself a glass of red wine, he was in a great mood as he stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. A tinge of warmth spread in his heart as he watched the brightly lit streets outside.
