To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 861

After the trio of them were done with their conversation, they stood up and went to the parking lot. Gilbert asked Jenny to wait in place while he took Evan to get the car.

On the way there, Gilbert looked somewhat displeased with Evan. "I brought you back so you could pursue Jenny and make her happy, not say things you shouldn't say in front of her."

Evan looked innocent as he shrugged and said helplessly, "How was I supposed to know that you never told her? With all the commotion, I thought Jenny already knew."

"I didn't want her to know," Gilbert said.

"Okay, I promise I won't say anything in front of her, alright?" Evan didn't think too much about it. It was indeed embarrassing, and it was understandable that Gilbert didn't want Jenny to know.

Seeing that Evan didn't mean any harm, Gilbert didn't say anything more but asked, "How's it going? Why do I feel like Jenny is still indifferent toward you?"

"Oh, you're pretty spot on with that." Evan didn't see the need to deceive Gilbert. It was true that he hadn't successfully won Jenny over, and he wasn't as confident as before.

His words angered Gilbert. "What do you mean by that?"

"Jenny has rejected me. She said she only sees me as a brother," Evan explained, feeling a little dismayed. If he hadn't rejected Jenny's confession, they might have been married by now. He was too young to know how to cherish what had been his.

Gilbert stared at him blankly, not knowing how Evan could say that so calmly. "So? You're just giving up like this?"

"Of course not, but I can only take it slow. You know Jenny. If I push too hard, she'll only resist me harder."

That was something they both understood. Gilbert felt annoyed and even began to doubt if bringing Evan back was the right decision. If Jenny didn't like him, then what was the point of him coming back?
