To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 Don’t Tell Me You Like Me

Sitting across the table, Alec continued to drink, leaving Jenny’s question unanswered for a while.

A thought crossed her mind as she looked at him. “Don’t tell me you like me?” she asked.

Despite her expectations for a righteous denial, Alec remained silent.

Feeling nervous, Jenny swore at him. “You’re crazy!”

Alec put down his glass and replied, “I’m crazy if I like you? What kind of logic is that!”

Jenny countered, “It’s fine if others like me, but not you.”

“What sort of psycho only fell in love after his divorce?” Jenny wondered to herself.

Alec sighed, “You know, sometimes I think… if I had met you once during our marriage, we’d still be together.”

Jenny asked in disbelief, “You’re telling me you fell in love with me at first sight?”

She found it absolutely ridiculous. Alec didn’t confirm nor deny it.

At that moment, Jenny was feeling conflicted. She regretted her decision to agree to Alec’s request to talk, She proceeded to munch on her skewer as she contemplated her choices.

Alec, not giving up, asked, “Can you give me a chance?”

Jenny’s lips trembled. Suddenly, the barbeque skewers didn’t taste that good anymore.

“Jenny…”

“Nope, don’t call me that,” Jenny firmly said. “We’re not that close.”
