To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1044

Just then, Jenny got a call from Stephanie, inviting her to celebrate the New Year together. So, she told her about their gathering at Alec's place. When Stephanie mentioned she might join, Jenny added, "Fair warning though, Paul and Melanie are here."

Though she knew Stephanie wasn't interested in Paul anymore, she couldn't say the same for Paul. Jenny couldn't promise conflict wouldn't happen if Stephanie really came over.

Hearing that, Stephanie was silent for a time before finally saying, "Don't worry. I just wanna spend the night with you, nothing to do with them."

"Alright. I'll send you the address."

After hanging up, Jenny glanced at Paul in the distance, with Melanie rambling on his side. The man didn't seem too focused on what she was saying.

Jenny walked over to Alec and told him about Stephanie coming over. "I need you to hold Paul back if he does anything stupid later."

"Roger that." Alec nodded. He had long been aware that Stephanie didn't have any feelings for Paul anymore, so he could only hope Paul didn't act too rashly later.

"Aren't you going to start cooking? I can help out," Jenny offered. There were only two hours left until dinnertime, and given the number of people joining that night, there was probably a lot of food being made in the kitchen.

Alec shook his head, smiling. "No need. I won't starve you, don't worry."

Jenny rolled her eyes. "Your loss on free help."

"I know how kind and considerate you are," Alec teased. "But I've already done my preparations."

Why waste his time and effort when he could pay someone else to do it? Plus, the only person he wanted to cook for was Jenny, not the entire group.
