To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Will You Fulfill My Wishes?

Jenny felt as if a thousand needles were pricking her. She could guess what Alec was going to say, and her palms grew sweaty.

“Alec…”

“Hear me out, Jenny.” Alec cut her off, and Jenny pursed her lips, not saying anything else. “To be frank, I sometimes wonder if destiny is at play with us. But I’ve never figured out the answer.” He smiled like he was laughing at himself. “And then I thought, is that really important?” He shook his head. “I don’t think it is. Because right now, I like you. A lot. I’m sure that you’re the one I’ve been. looking for. I appeared by your side even if you hated me in the beginning because I knew that if I lost you again, I’d never find someone else that I liked so much.”

Alec was stili talking, but Jenny no longer had the heart to listen. She knew what would happen next but hadn’t thought of her answer. Could she and Alec truly start over? Could she really believe this man, who had once neglected her and caused their marriage to fail?

She couldn’t come up with an answer just yet. She wished that Alec would stop and keep his words to himself, so she would have more time to think.

Alec didn’t stop. He thought the time had come. “Jenny, please give me a chance. Let me start by being your boyfriend.” He didn’t propose immediately because he knew that it was too sudden. Jenny would never be able to accept it. He also wanted to take things slowly. They could start off by being boyfriend and girlfriend.

Jenny looked at Alec; he was staring hopefully into her eyes. She couldn’t help breaking out into a sweat. “Do I need to give you an answer right now?”

“Don’t overthink, Jenny. Could we just go with the flow?” Alec was extremely nervous. He was afraid that Jenny would reject him. If he were to be rejected now, he didn’t know if he would be able to muster up the courage to ask her out again.

Jenny bit her lip and looked around her, discovering the lights had turned dim. Roses surrounded them, showing that early preparations had been made. She pointed at the roses that filled the dining room, smiling as she asked, “How long have you been preparing these?”
