To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1256

She smiled happily. Alec and Jenny were actually paying attention to what was happening to them. When they saw her smiling so happily, they sensed something had changed.

Then, they saw Melanie cradling Paul's arm. She said, "Everyone, let me introduce us. This is my boyfriend, Paul Wagner." She smiled brightly as if she had won a fabulous prize.

Everyone was stunned. Alec clapped first, to which Jenny seconded. "Congratulations."

It was worth celebrating.

If Paul could hit it off with Melanie, Stephanie would no longer be plagued with worries.

Jenny looked at Alec, sensing that he had relaxed tremendously. Maybe he knew it was alright that Paul most likely had agreed to be Melanie's boyfriend even though he had no feelings for her, as long as he was willing to take that first step. What did it matter if their feelings were genuine or not?

Stephanie looked at them and smiled at Melanie. She even gave her a "good luck" gesture. She and Melanie chatted sometimes. Although Melanie knew Paul liked Stephanie, she had not shown animosity towards her. Hence, Stephanie felt that she was a good person.

As for Paul, he paled in comparison.

She hoped that Paul would know how to cherish her and refrain from repeating the same mistake.

Leonard was made uncomfortable by the way she kept looking at them. He got her to look at him instead. "What are you looking at? Are you still thinking about your past lover?"

"Oh, what are you talking about? I was looking at Melanie." Stephanie glared at him. "Past lover" sounded so terrible.

Leonard didn't let her keep staring at them. "Don't look anymore. Everyone's happy to see them together. It's a good thing for us, too."

At least Paul wouldn't keep bothering Stephanie anymore.

Paul had not said anything. He let Melanie hold on to his arm at will and didn't retort when she introduced him to everyone as her boyfriend. There was no one sassier. Paul was no loser.
