To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1047

"You have a quick wit," Paul scowled, glaring at Leonard.

The latter smiled but said nothing.

He knew Paul didn't like him, but that didn't change the fact that he didn't care.

On the other hand, the women were getting along fairly well. Stephanie was excitedly listening to Jade talk about her relationship with Max, deeply admiring it.

"I'd heard of him back in Parrington, but the rumors and tabloids only spoke about how much of a womanizer he was. I never expected him to change so drastically!" Stephanie said in awe. Love really could change someone!

Jade was blushing. "It's not that big of a change. He's still as silly as before."

The real change was probably how clingy Max could be. The man had insisted on going to the New Year's Eve gathering with her earlier, and he usually stayed glued to her everyday too, as if he had nothing better to do.

"Someone's shy," Stephanie teased. Her impression of Jade as a stern workaholic had changed as well. Now Jade seemed more gentle and soft at the edges.

"Oh, stop it. Why don't you tell us what's going on between you and Leonard?" Jade quickly changed the topic, not wanting to be the only one at the women's mercy.

Stephanie glanced at Leonard several feet away. "We're just friends, nothing else."

"Just friends?" Bullshit. Who'd bring a "friend" to that sort of occasion?

Stephanie cleared her throat. "For now, at least."

She couldn't promise what that would change into in the upcoming future.
