To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291 Worried About Him Adapting

A week later, Alec was finally discharged.

He looked at the woman beside him in the car. “Have you checked the file I sent you yesterday-the one on the adoptive family?”

Jenny nodded and handed him a tablet. “I dug deeper into their background based on your information. For now, the couple seems nice and checks my boxes.”

Alec had found an adoptive family in Parrington for Justin and Lillian. The family was not wealthy by his standards, but they were upper middle class and got by comfortably. Raising two kids should be easy for them. Most importantly, the couple was loving but couldn’t have children, and thus they were searching for kids to adopt. Jenny believed that Justin and Lilian would be treated well in that family.

“Let’s seal the deal then. Should we set up a time and get the kids to meet with the couple?” Alec asked.

“Sure.” Jenny wanted to get it settled as soon as possible too. “I’ll need to pick the kids up at Orchid Village.”

“Can I go with you?” Alec was curious about the village Jenny had grown up in.

She tilted her head as though she could read his mind. “Are you sure? That village is nothing like Parrington. I’m worried that you might struggle to adapt to life there. Regardless of how well-built the infrastructure was at Orchid Village, it would pose a challenge for a man like Alec, who had lived his whole life in the city.

Jenny frowned when she realized who the man was, but he appeared very different, with stubble around his chin, compared to when she saw him at the hospital.

She collected herself and said, “I’m acting in his best interest. How could you actively stop him from returning to school when you, as his father, refused to pay for his studies?”

“And who are you to ask him to study? Now he’s in school, so who’s going to work and get me money for booze? The alcoholic father was unbelievably unremorseful, and his attitude came as a shock to Jenny She never expected gratitude from Miller Little, but she always thought he would at least be glad about Joey going back to school. It appeared that she was wrong.

“If you want him back in school, no one will make money and pay for my drinks. You should be paying up in his place.” Miller extended his hand, signaling her to pay with a cocky attitude that asked for a good beating.
