To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 He Has an Ulterior Motive

Christopher drank his coffee, feeling like he was about to be exposed.

“We’re not going to keep things to ourselves. Why don’t you tell us what your motives are? I’d help you if I could.” She had agreed to eat with him so she could ask him about it.

A smile tugged at Christopher’s lips. She’d definitely be able to help if she agreed to marry him. The coffee was running out, so he had to put it down. He met Jenny’s gaze and said, “I was joking, really. You got together with Alex and not me, after all. I was just angry. I only have one motive: to make you my girlfriend. Even better, to have you marry me. I would definitely be a better choice

than Alec.”

Alec was instantly upset. What did Christopher mean? Why did he have to drag him into this?

“Ignore him, Jenny. He definitely has an ulterior motive.” Alec regretted taking her there. He should have brought Jenny home, and they wouldn’t have run into this psychopath.

Christopher was unwilling to tell the truth. Jenny didn’t ask him anything else, but she was visibly peeved. “If you don’t want to tell me, then I’ll have to ask you to stop bothering me after this meal.”

“Jenny…”

“If you want to be friends, Mr. Spade, you need to know that friends don’t keep secrets from each other.” Although unsure of his intentions, she was certain he was just as Alec had said. He had his

reasons.

Christopher found it hard to look her in the eye after that. If this were about anything else, he could use his status as the heir of the Spade family to subdue her, but how could he do that when it came to feelings? She’d only feel repulsed by him.

He turned toward Alec, upset. “It’s true that friends need to be honest with each other, but are you sure that this person next to you is sincere?”

“Jenny.” Alec was still upset.

“Who cares what he says? Do you think I’d believe him over you? You don’t have to be this mad,” Jenny comforted him. She didn’t think he needed to be angry. Although she was sure that

Christopher had his motives, she believed in Alec. Hence, she didn’t care about what Christopher had to say.

Alec heaved a sigh of relief. “Thanks, Jenny.”

“What do you mean, thanks? How can a relationship survive if we don’t even trust each other?” Jenny didn’t think his thanks were necessary. It was a given that she would trust him.

“You’re right. I was being rash.” Alec sat, deciding to wholly ignore Christopher’s presence.
