To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 I Can’t Help It

“Can you think straight, Alec Faust?!” Jenny pushed him hard. She could still taste Alec on her lips, and. her heart was in a frenzy.

He looked down at her, quiet.

Some time passed. His low voice sounded in Jenny’s ears. He said, “I really wish I could. I know that I shouldn’t be harassing you. I shouldn’t be the type of person who does this. But…” he looked at Jenny, and his voice cracked, “I can’t help it. The minute I see you with some other guy, I get so mad. I wish I could just pull you close to me.”

Alec knew that the way he was acting wasn’t normal. But what could he do? He couldn’t help it.

He’d delivered a whole speech. Jenny stood rooted to her spot in a daze. The person before her was different from the Alec she knew. She was irritated and pushed him away. “I don’t want to hear this. I’ve told you before that I’m not interested in you. So don’t waste your time on me.”

She walked past him and left the restroom, moving toward the private booth.

Alec watched her leave, his eyes darkening. He turned and walked out of the restroom.

Christopher had noticed Jenny’s prolonged absence. Just as he was about to get up and look for her, she walked in.

“What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.” Christopher frowned, sensing her displeasure.

She snapped back into reality and struggled to keep herself calm and collected. “It’s nothing.”

Christopher suspected something, but he didn’t press the issue. They weren’t in that kind of relationship where they had to tell each other everything, after all.

“Are you finished with your food? Is there anything else you’d like to eat?” Christopher asked. Jenny hadn’t eaten much.

She shook her head. She never ate much to begin with, and now she had completely lost her appetite.

When Christopher was about to suggest leaving, someone opened the booth. He could never have expected the visitor.

“Mr. Faust?” Christopher was surprised.
