To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 941

The word "fate" rubbed Paul the wrong way. He scoffed, "Fate? What kind of fate is that? It was just a coincidence!"

Jenny couldn't stand his jealousy any longer. She scooched over to Stephanie and whispered, "Is he jealous?"

Stephanie pouted, mumbling, "Who cares?"

She didn't care what Paul thought. She really did think meeting Leonard today was pretty magical, given they hadn't contacted one another in so many years. What else could it be if not fate?

"Fate works in mysterious ways. Why don't you invite him out for lunch sometime?" Alec suggested nonchalantly.

That made Paul glare at him, questioning the intentions behind the suggestion.

Alec smiled but didn't say anything else.

He'd never thought of making connections with the law, but after today he'd realized this might be one of the next best steps to take. Plus, Leonard seemed to be the most suitable man for the other end of this string.

The man was young and hopeful—he wasn't tainted with greed or corruption, unlike the families in Bardoff. Leonard would need someone powerful to support him if he wanted to pursue his goals, and Alec might be the right person.

The car soon parked by a row of restaurants, the four people inside flocking out for dinner.

Amid their meal, when Jenny and Stephanie went to the washroom, Paul turned to Alec, grunting, "What was that? You know I don't like that man. Why still suggest Stephanie have lunch with him? Are you doing this on purpose?"

Alec grinned, then explained his idea to Paul, who scowled in response. "Why him of all the people at the station?"
