To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360 Aren’t You Upset?

Jenny was surprised that Joey had guessed something was up. She nodded again. “Yes, actually. It’s about your father.”

“Him?” Joey frowned. “Did he come to bother you again?”

Jenny shook her head. “He got himself arrested for getting into some trouble.”

Joey didn’t show an ounce of sadness hearing the news. In fact, he looked glad. “Really? That means he won’t be able to find you and cause you any more trouble, right?”

“Aren’t you upset?” Jenny asked, confused,

“Why would I be? I stopped treating him as my father a long time ago.” Miller, the father, had died in Joey’s heart a long, long time ago. He even wished the man actually died just so he could live carefreely.

Jenny stared at him in shock, which Joey noticed.

“Do you find me cruel for thinking that, Jen?”

Jenny shook her head. “No…I just feel bad for you.”

Only those who had been through too much grew numb to pain. No one was born heartless, after all. It was clear Joey was someone who had gone through it.

“Thank you, Jen.” Joey smiled. He had been worried Jenny might think he was a sociopath.

Jenny patted his head. “I was concerned the news would affect your mood.”
