To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1037

Once they finished with the spinach, Zack and Janet went out to the garden with Jenny. The place was piled with snow at this point, forming quite the snowy wonderland.

"Jenny," Alec murmured longingly when he spotted the trio playing in the snow next door. He stood right beside the fence in his own garden.

Jenny went up to him. "You guys finished preparing lunch yet?"

"Mhm. The butler's making it." A two-person meal didn't need much lavishness or grandeur.

Alec only wished Jenny could join them for lunch.

Recalling it would only be Alec and Old Mr. Faust eating together, Jenny suddenly pitied them. "You didn't invite Mortimer and Alfred for lunch?"

She knew Alec would loathe seeing them right now, but it was New Year's, the time for family to reunite and spend time together.

"Them?" Alec scowled. "Why should I? We're not family."

"Alright then."

"What about you? I'm guessing Gilbert's cooking in the kitchen?"

Jenny nodded, feeling embarrassed. "Yeah. Zack and I don't know how to cook, so we leave it to Gilbert."

"I see. I'll cook for you too, next time."

His words made Jenny blush. When she recovered herself, she rolled his eyes at him. "It's not like I need another servant in the house."

Alec laughed but said nothing about it. "Why don't you guys join us for dinner then?"

Though he hoped only Jenny would come, it was nigh impossible. So might as well invite all of them on a whim; that way, Jenny would still be around.
