To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 I Don’t Have a Home

Joey was unaware of his options, nor had he tried them out. When his teacher asked him the reason behind his decision, he merely answered that he didn’t want to study anymore. Despite his teacher’s attempt to change his mind, he didn’t budge. Therefore, his teacher was left with no choice but to process the paperwork for him.

“But…I already dropped out.” He hung his head in regret.

“I can handle that for you. What you need to do is to show up to school on time. Don’t fret about it,” Alec replied.

Joey looked at the two with teary eyes, even though he was a tough guy. “Thank you.””

“Study hard and score well if you really want to thank us.” Jenny was relieved after Joey agreed to go back to school.

He nodded. “I will.” Joey had always been good at studies, which was why he was placed in 12th grade at sixteen. If all went according to plan, he’d be taking the SAT the following year.

“All the best! If you get into a good college, I’ll buy you a gift.” Jenny finally broke into a smile and appeared more relieved.

After lunch, Jenny accompanied Joey to submit his resignation to the restaurant manager. The manager readily accepted the resignation, paid his wages, and offered him words of encouragement.

Joey followed Jenny and Alec from the shopping mall to their car. At that moment, he had no idea where he should head to.
