To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 885

She did not continue with the topic and decided to bring up Jolene. "I hear that Jolene did not follow Rowena in the end."

"Yeah." James nodded and then smiled. "I knew you would ask about this."

"I was just curious about what you were thinking. Otherwise, I'd worry." Jenny thought that Jolene could not compare to James. However, if James accidentally liked Jolene back, she could do nothing about it.

She was worried that something like that would happen, which was why she was so anxious to ask him the question.

James ate and looked out the window as if considering his answer. Jenny grew anxious.

After a while, he said, "I wasn't really thinking. I just thought a free nanny would be nice. I wouldn't be the one at a disadvantage, anyway. Why would I refuse?"

"You're not someone who has to cut back on a nanny's fees," Jenny said. This excuse was a stretch. It was unbelievable.

"Well, I just thought it would be too easy to just let her go like that. Making her stay is a sort of punishment for her."

Jenny looked at him, her expression grim.

James retracted his gaze and saw her expression. He was a little surprised. "What's with that expression? Do you think I like her?" James laughed as he said that. "Don't you worry. I'd never fall in love with such a toxic woman," he promised.

He had already laid it out in such a way that Jenny had no reason to continue talking about it. They were close, but she couldn't interfere with his matters too much.
