To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1222

Pete smiled and said, "I know, you're fixated on Alec. I really don't see what's so good about him that's worth your affection."

"You wouldn't understand." Jenny seriously doubted that Pete, who grew up in the Dafoe family, would understand what love was. Her guess was indeed correct—he didn't understand, nor did he intend to figure it out. If love would make him follow in Eric's step, he would rather never have something that destructive for the rest of his life.

"I'm done joking around with you. I'm here to invite you to dinner." Pete returned to normal and stated his intentions clearly.

Jenny looked at the time and found that it was indeed time for dinner. However, she'd already made plans with Alec earlier. "I don't think there's a need for that. We're just partners working together for a common goal. You don't need to thank me."

"I'm not thanking you. I just think you're quite to my taste. As your younger brother, I should treat you to a meal," Pete said with a smile. The word "younger brother" made Jenny's hair stand on end.

She glared at Pete sternly and said dryly, "Stop talking nonsense. I don't have a younger brother as old as you."

"Oh? Why don't you ask Lynette? I think she considers me her son." Pete grinned confidently.

Jenny didn't know how he had the audacity to say such shameless words. He hadn't exactly treated Lynette well. What made him think that she would consider him her son?

Waving at him dismissively, Jenny tried to shoo him away. "Go away. I don't have time to eat with you."

"Come on, let's have a meal together…my dear sister." Pete blinked at her pleadingly like a spoiled brat.

A chill ran down Jenny's spine as she looked at him. At that moment, she thought he looked like a devil. "What do you want?"

"Nothing. I just want to improve our relationship and have more contact with you in the future. After all, we're siblings," Pete justified.

Jenny didn't know what to say to that.

Obviously, she didn't believe what Pete said. Upon careful consideration, she guessed that he couldn't suppress the Dafoes now and wanted to improve his relationship with her in order to secure help. After all, with the support of the Walters, he would have more say within the Dafoe family.
