To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82 Jenny, You’ve Crossed the Line

“Fine.”

After a while, Jenny finally nodded in agreement. She thought there would be no problem repaying Max’s favor by attending an event.

Max laughed heartily, clearly in a good mood. “Good night. Sweet dreams,” he said.

Jenny got out of the car and walked toward the apartment. After waving at him, she quickly disappeared from his sight. As usual, Max didn’t leave immediately. He lit a cigarette as he stared at the stars hanging in the night sky.

“There are so many stars tonight,” he sighed to himself. At that moment, he heard a car approaching in the distance, and he turned back to look at it.

Alec didn’t get out of the car when he pulled up beside Max. He lowered the window and said in a sarcastic tone, “Must you wait for me every time after you drive her back?”

“Of course,” Max answered, not denying it. Raising his eyebrows at him, he added, “It brings me joy seeing you upset!”

Alec didn’t know how to respond to that.

“You’re a little late today. Normally, you would show up within ten minutes after I sent Jenny home. It’s been twenty minutes!”

Alec was concerned that Max might have gone insane.

“And what about it?” he asked, much more composed than before. “Jenny won’t like you anyway, and you doing all of this doesn’t make me angry anymore. Don’t you feel like a fool for acting like this?”

The more he got acquainted with Jenny, the more Alec was certain that Max was not her type. His words instantly wiped the gleeful expression off Max’s face, leaving an icy mask behind.

“Perhaps she doesn’t like me now, but at least she doesn’t hate me. You, on the other hand, are acting like a fool for pestering her. Am I wrong, Alec?”

Max’s counterattack matched Alec’s. They grew tense instantly, as if ready for a brawl.
