To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 972

Jenny was even more speechless at his reply and rubbed her forehead exasperatedly. "I don't want to be like a child."

Why would she act like a child when she was an adult? Although children were carefree and didn't have much to worry about, what was the point of avoiding reality like that? She couldn't really become a child again.

If Alec treated her like a child and she had to become an adult again when he left her, wouldn't it be tiring to constantly switch how she would carry herself?

"My point is, you can try to rely on me." Alec felt helpless. He didn't know how to express himself to Jenny. It was difficult to make her depend on him even for a bit.

Jenny didn't reply to what Alec said. "He isn't really anyone significant to me. Why would I rely on him?" she wondered.

…

In the restaurant, Alexandra silently ate her food. Christopher hadn't said a word since they entered the restaurant, and the silence magnified Alexandra's anxiety.

"Christopher, don't be too saddened. Although Grandpa has passed away, he must be watching you from above. If he sees that you're so sad, he'd feel bad about it," Alexandra said, trying to make him feel better.

Christopher remained silent, so Alexandra continued, "Besides, you still have me in the future. I'll always be by your side."

Upon hearing that, Christopher finally snapped out of his daze and looked up at Alexandra sitting right across from him.

As their eyes met, Alexandra felt a chill down her back. She thought she was overthinking it, but at that moment, she couldn't see any hint of feelings or emotions in Christopher's vacant eyes.

"Actually, I've wanted to talk to you for some time," Christopher said.

"Let's eat first. Everything else can wait." Intuition told Alexandra that whatever Christopher was going to say, it was probably not good news for her, and she didn't want to hear it.
