To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1038

Jenny was about to say something else but ultimately kept silent since Janet was there. "Be smart, then."

After Jenny left, Zack huffed and pursed his lips, feeling conflicted.

"I'm sorry, Zack," Janet said softly.

She knew things only devolved to this because of her, though Zack never said anything of the sort out loud. Janet guessed that Zack's siblings knew of her past too.

After falling in love with Zack and his personality, she felt guilty for subjecting him to that sort of response from his family. If only she hadn't had such a complicated past, things wouldn't be so tense today.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault." Zack had done his homework on Janet, too, and confronted her about everything.

Yes, it was morally incorrect, but Zack didn't blame her. Who wouldn't want to live a worry-free life?

Now Janet really felt ashamed. "It is," she mumbled weakly.

"Janet…"

"I regret it all, you know that, right?"

Zack's heart clenched painfully. He gathered Janet into his arms, saying, "I can empathize with you, Janet. I'll never leave you, don't you worry."

He'd never leave Janet, no matter what Gilbert or Jenny said.

Janet's eyes brimmed with tears. "Thank you."

Sometimes she wondered if maybe God sent Zack to her in pity for all she'd been through.

In the kitchen, Jenny noticed the two hugging, though she was oblivious to their conversation. She turned to her brother, who was busy cooking.
