To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1220

While sitting in the car, Jenny looked out the window. Lynette's "thank you" reverberated in her mind. For some reason, there seemed to be a boulder pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Alec was driving, but he could sense the gloomy air around Jenny.

"Jenny, are you thinking about Lynette?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm thinking that she wasn't really in the wrong back then. She hasn't exactly led a good life for the past few years, and she's suffered even more than me. But I still won't acknowledge her as my mother. Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

She'd been pondering this question since they left Walter Castle, but she still hadn't come up with an answer.

Alec slowed down the car and said, "You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. I believe that Lynette can understand your inner conflict. It's okay if you can't address her as your mom out loud right now. You'll have more time to spend together, and I believe that as long as Lynette treats you well enough, you'll willingly call her 'mom' one day."

Alec's words made sense to Jenny, but she still felt a sense of anguish in her heart. "I know what you mean. I just feel like she wasn't really in the wrong."

"That's true. She isn't in the wrong, but neither are you. So, you don't need to carry such a heavy burden. Just listen to your heart," Alec advised, not wanting Jenny to feel unhappy.

Jenny sighed and rubbed her temples. "Maybe you're right. I'm just thinking too much."

Perhaps after spending some time with Lynette, she would be ready to call her "mom" just like how she called Graham "dad." She just needed a bit more time to reach that point.

"Let's go to the street food park. Isn't that where you like to buy your snacks from?" Alec asked.
