To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 702

"What's wrong?" Jenny asked, puzzled.

Graham retracted his gaze and looked at her. "James is a good person, but he is engaged to Jolene. I don't want you having anything to do with him."

He thought favorably of James, and he still did. But this didn't mean that he could tolerate him being close to both of his daughters, especially Jenny.

Jenny was stunned. She instantly understood what Graham meant and was speechless. "You're overthinking things. He's my senior. He's just like family to me. Can't I have a meal with family?"

"I know you don't mean it that way, Jenny, but does James feel the same way? Can you guarantee that people will keep their mouths shut?" Graham was grim. He was truly trying to act in Jenny's best interests.

Jenny was exasperated. She looked at her father, saying, "I don't care what people think of me as long as I have a clear conscience."

Seeing that he was unable to convince Jenny, Graham shook his head. "Just don't grow too close with him. Forget the outsiders. What would Jolene think?"

"Why should I be concerned about what she thinks?" Jenny scoffed. Jolene would come to bother her regardless and blame every single inconvenience on her. Thus, whether Jenny had lunch with James wouldn't make a difference.

Graham had no idea how to respond. He was silent for a while before sighing, then saying, "Forget it. We'll drop it. What did you come here for?"

Normally, Jenny wouldn't come to see him in the company unless she had a reason. Graham knew this very well.
