To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Let's Not Talk About Romance

Alec nodded, looking calmer than Jenny. Carefree as always, he'd only take on the problem when it surfaced. He believed that there would always be a solution to any problem.

He led her to the sofa, sat her down, and handed her the ointment. "You should at least finish what you started."

She didn't object to that and continued applying the ointment to his body. The living room fell into silence when they stopped talking.

Soon, she was done and ready to leave. "Have a good rest. It's best if you could rest at home for a few days."

"Are you leaving?" he asked.

She nodded. "It's late. I need to get home." She knew Graham didn't like that she was in touch with Alec, and she worried she might fuel Graham's dislike of Alec if she got home late.

"Jenny," Alec called out, his deep gaze fixated on her face. "The truth is, you still care about me. Don't you?" As expected, she was silent. He added, "I'm not strong enough yet. Can you wait for me?"

"Wait for you?" She was puzzled by his words.

"Wait for me until I have built my strength. Right now, I'm not qualified to be with you." He flashed a bitter smile at her. As much as he'd love to date Jenny right now, he understood that it was a difficult ask. Therefore, he hoped that she could give him some time.

She chuckled at his remark, looking a little disheartened. "Alec, you've known me long enough. Is that what you think of me?"

She wasn't the type of woman who'd care about his qualifications.
