To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 780

Considering that Paul was a friend of Alec's and that she had not given up on pursuing him, she nodded at Paul as a form of greeting. To her dismay, Paul ignored the gesture because he looked down on her. Enraged, she felt disrespected.

"Are all Parringtonians this stubborn?" First, there was Jenny, and here came Paul, who was similarly annoying. She also knew how obstinate Alec could be.

Paul sat on the bench outside of the operating theatre and chuckled. "Maybe it's not us who are stubborn. Perhaps, Bardoff people are simply weak in comparison."

"Paul Wagner!" She was outraged. "I didn't want to fight with you because you're Alec's friend, but you shouldn't go overboard either!"

"Miss Watkins, you're being weird. When did I go overboard? I didn't even do anything." He shrugged, looking innocent. Sure, he did not do anything to her, but his attitude alone was enough to irk her.

She scoffed and sat on the bench across from him, refusing to talk to him for the sake of her sanity. This time around, he opened his mouth. "Miss Watkins, I bet you're worried. If the surgery is a success, your lies will be exposed."

Others might not know about Alec's situation, but as a friend, Paul was well aware of Alec's history with Jenny. Alec's affection for Jenny was unrelated to mental health issues—it was pure love. Of course, Paul could tell that Alec's affection for Jenny had morphed into an odd obsession, which might be related to an existing mental health concern. Still, Alec must have truly loved Jenny, and the mental health issue only exacerbated his actions.

"What lies are you talking about? Alec has been suffering from mental health issues all the while. How can you be sure he didn't fall in love with her because of his existing issues?" Blake was fearless—the blame couldn't be shifted to her even if Alec regained his memories.
