To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 989

When Jenny walked into the living room and saw the hot oatmeal on the dining table, she was a little stunned. She looked at Alec, still busying himself in the kitchen, and a warm feeling washed over her. She took a step toward him and said, "Hey."

She called out softly, and he turned around with a smile. "Oh, you're awake already. Do you feel better?" he asked with concern.

"Yeah. I feel better now." Jenny nodded and walked toward him. She was surprised to see that he was making tortellini. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Then, she asked, "What time did you get up?"

"I don't remember. It was still dark outside." Alec said with a laugh, not minding that he'd gotten no sleep at all. It was his first time making tortellini, so he wasn't very familiar with the process. Fortunately, he had some talent for cooking, so his attempt didn't end up in failure.

Alec was about to ask Jenny to have breakfast when he suddenly felt Jenny's warm body in his arms.

"Why are you so good to me?" Even though Jenny hadn't accepted Alec and was still hesitant about being in a relationship with him, she couldn't help but feel moved by Alec's kindness at that moment, even if she'd steeled her heart to not be swayed by emotions.

Feeling the warmth in his chest, Alec lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. Then, he raised his arms and hugged her back tightly. "You're wrong. I haven't been good to you at all. If I were good to you, I wouldn't have hurt you so badly before."

Alec had always regretted not treating Jenny well when she was his wife; even when she became his girlfriend, he still didn't cherish her enough. The insignificant amount of kindness now was nothing but futile compensation that came too little and too late. To him, it was practically worthless.

"Let's forget about the past. Actually, when I think about it, it's not all your fault."

Jenny removed herself from his embrace. In her heart, she understood that the past wasn't entirely his fault. They had gotten married in a hurry back then, so it was normal for Alec to be resentful about being bound to her. Although he never came to see her in person, he never did anything to harm her, either.

In fact, looking back now, Jenny thought she was just unable to swallow her pride back then.

Alec's eyes brightened hearing her say that. "Jenny, are you saying that you forgive me for the foolish things I did before?"
