Chapter 1220 Perhaps You’re Right
While sitting in the car, Jenny looked out the window. Lynette’s “thank you” reverberated in her mind. For some reason, there seemed to be a boulder pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
Alec was driving, but he could sense the gloomy air around Jenny.
“Jenny, are you thinking about Lynette?” he asked.
“Yeah, I’m thinking that she wasn’t really in the wrong back then. She hasn’t exactly led a good life for the past few years, and she’s suffered even more than me. But I still won’t acknowledge her as my mother. Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”
She’d been pondering this question since they left Walter Castle, but she still hadn’t come up with an answer.
Alec slowed down the car and said, “You don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. I believe that Lynette can understand your inner conflict. It’s okay if you can’t address her as your mom out loud right now. You’ll have more time to spend together, and I believe that as long as Lynette treats you well enough, you’ll willingly call her ‘mom’ one day.”
Alec’s words made sense to Jenny, but she still felt a sense of anguish in her heart. “I know what you mean. I just feel like she wasn’t really in the wrong.”
“That’s true. She isn’t in the wrong, but neither are you. So, you don’t need to carry such a heavy burden. Just listen to your heart,” Alec advised, not wanting Jenny to feel unhappy.
Jenny sighed and rubbed her temples. “Maybe you’re right. I’m just thinking too much.”
Perhaps after spending some time with Lynette, she would be ready to call her “mom” just like how she called Graham “dad.” She just needed a bit more time to reach that point.
“Let’s go to the street food park. Isn’t that where you like to buy your snacks from?” Alec asked.
Jenny glanced at him and asked, “Don’t you dislike those places?”
“I used to, but now I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them. I’d like to experience the hustle and bustle of the world once in a while,” he replied. Most importantly, since Jenny liked to go there, he would naturally like it too.
“Sure, let’s go. I’m actually craving some of the food there.” She couldn’t remember the last time she’d eaten street food.
Alec turned the car around and drove toward the street food park. As the weather gradually warmed up, more and more people went out shopping. At this hour, the park was packed with people and was bustling with activity.
Jenny soon forgot her troubles, and under Alec’s protection, she walked into the crowd, heading toward her favorite snack stall. She felt alive again when she felt the crowd pushing against her.
Soon, Jenny bought some hot dogs that were very savory and satisfying.” Do you want to try some?” she asked.
“Sure.” Alec nodded, and Jenny immediately fed him a bit of the hot dog. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
At the moment, Alec was dressed in a black suit, and Jenny was also dressed immaculately. They stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention. Someone secretly took a photo and posted it online with the caption: “This is probably what they call a perfect match!”
At first, not many people paid attention to the photo, as there were so many other things worth paying attention to on the Internet. The Internet had no shortage of beautiful women and handsome men. But as someone revealed the identities of the two, the photo instantly gained more traction.
As Jenny and Alec were still strolling leisurely in the street food park, their photo became viral on the Internet. Although they weren’t celebrities, their popularity rivaled even the hottest celebrities in the country.
However, Jenny and Alec were unaware of all this. They strolled until late at night, eating and drinking their fill, and only left the street food park after they were satiated.
Alec’s phone rang just as they stepped into the villa-it was a call from Vincent. Alec was surprised but still answered the phone without hesitation and asked, “What’s up?”
