To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 961

Stephanie didn't give Leonard a direct answer, but he wasn't discouraged.

"Then you're in luck. You can see me often in the future." The implicit meaning of his words was obvious. It meant he would appear around Stephanie frequently in the future, giving her plenty of opportunities to see him.

Stephanie didn't reply, as she didn't know how to respond, so she remained silent.

The four of them didn't walk for long. After all, the weather was frigid that day. After Stephanie and Leonard had finished chatting, Jenny suggested that they leave. Alec sent Jenny home, and Leonard escorted Stephanie back.

On the way to Stephanie's house, she and Leonard didn't talk much. During a moment of silence, Leonard noticed a car following them from behind. He had a worried expression on his face immediately, thinking it was someone seeking revenge against him. Making enemies was very common in his line of work.

He sent the license plate number to his colleague to investigate right away. Soon, he received a text and saw the name "Paul Wagner." Leonard glanced at Stephanie out of the corner of his eye.

Stephanie seemed to sense something was going on and looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Leonard put away his phone without saying much.

Before long, the car arrived at the Walker family's residence. Leonard watched Stephanie go in and didn't hurry to leave. Instead, he waited downstairs for a long time. After receiving a message from Stephanie confirming that she'd arrived home safely, he turned around and made to leave. When he was about to get into his car, he saw the car that had followed them parked across the street.

Leonard knew who Paul was, but it wasn't because of Stephanie—Paul's background wasn't exactly spotless. He'd been involved in a case Leonard had investigated before, but there wasn't any evidence against him. As a result, there wasn't a need to contact him or bring him in for questioning.

After meeting Stephanie a few days ago, Leonard learned a bit more about her and came to know about what happened between her and Paul. Since then, he knew that no matter how he felt toward Stephanie, he wouldn't let her be with Paul because that man wasn't a good match for her, in Leonard's opinion. Besides, he liked Stephanie. Therefore, he would try his best to prevent them from getting back together.
