To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1272

As the three of them ate, Alec didn't speak the whole time. His purpose in coming there was actually very simple. He wanted to remind Joey that Jenny was already taken. Alec hoped he wouldn't say something he shouldn't.

After dinner, although Joey was reluctant, Jenny and Alec still left, leaving him standing in the same spot, watching the two leave.

"I'll definitely work hard to be worthy of the Walters!" He silently vowed as he watched Jenny's back disappear from his view.

In the car, Jenny glanced at Alec. "I don't understand why you had to come along. Was it really just for a free meal?"

"Can't I do that? I thought the restaurant just now was pretty good," Alec joked and laughed, finding it amusing.

Jenny rolled her eyes at him. She found it hard to believe Alec's words. "Cut the crap and tell me the truth. What's your real purpose?"

"What purpose could I have? I just came to remind someone not to have inappropriate thoughts." Alec raised an eyebrow.

Jenny was stunned as she stared at Alec incredulously. "Alec! You're not jealous, are you? Joey is still just a kid. What were you thinking?"

"A kid? Have you seen a child who's eighteen?" He'd checked Joey's information before coming there. He was already an adult! He was a far cry from being a kid like what Jenny claimed.

Jenny didn't know what to say. She just thought Alec was overreacting. "Even if he's eighteen, he's still a kid in my eyes, and he's much younger than me."

"I know you see him as a kid, but how can you be sure he thinks the same way? Maybe he has other ideas." This was his tactful way of saying that he was one hundred percent sure that Joey had other thoughts. He just didn't dare to say it out loud.

Jenny felt that he was overthinking things and tried to reason with him. "Alec, Joey only sees me as an older sister. You shouldn't think of him that way."

Seeing that Jenny was a little unhappy, Alec didn't continue arguing with her.

"Alright, alright. I was wrong. I'll drop it now. Shall we go home or keep walking?" He changed the subject, finding arguing with Jenny about Joey unnecessary.
