To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 246

Chapter 246 Aren’t You Going to Let Me Stay?

Jenny understood Alec’s words, but she still felt upset. “Maybe. I just can’t accept this so quickly.”

“Take your time. Just don’t take it too seriously,” Alec said.

After they had done the dishes, Jenny felt tired. She looked at Alec, still in the living room, and asked, ” Aren’t you leaving?”

“It’s so late. Aren’t you going to let me stay the night?” he said, smiling.

“What do you think?” She raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists as if she’d strike any second. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He stepped backward at once. “I’m joking. I’ll leave.” He was already walking toward the door.

Jenny felt a little awkward. “Well, if you don’t want to go back to the mansion, you can stay next door. I actually didn’t want you to move out,” she said and regretted her words at once. Why was she telling him this? Did she want to see him every day?

Alec had no clue about her inner turmoil, and his smile broadened. “For real? You won’t move out if I stay next door, will you?”

“Why would I? I paid for this house. I’ll live in it however I want,” she said.

Alec felt at ease when she said that. “Alright. I’ll move back in. It’s closer to the company.” Most importantly, he’d be able to see Jenny every day. They could even eat and talk together. It’d be a great environment for their feelings to flourish.

“Oh, just go. I want to sleep. You can stay wherever you want.” Jenny waved at him, pretending not to notice the smile he failed to conceal.

This time, Alec really did leave. She heard the sound of the door opening from his place and had a sneaking suspicion that he’d been planning on moving back in all along. Why else would he have his keys on him tonight?

Oh, whatever.

She walked toward the bathroom and took a shower. She lay in bed, falling asleep quickly.

Alec, however, didn’t sleep at the same rate. He stared at the black walls, suddenly feeling that they were not appropriate. It was what he wanted before, but now, he found that he didn’t like it so much after all. On the contrary, he preferred Jenny’s warm, cozy decorations. He shook his head, trying to stop thinking. about it. He walked toward his bedroom. He had to go to sleep as he was tired, too.

Stephanie went home after work. From afar, she could see that someone was standing at her door. When she drew near, she realized that it was Paul Wagner. Her face darkened at once, and she grew anxious. Ever since Jenny rescued her from his villa, she and Paul had not contacted each other. She thought that he would not appear in her life again. But now…

The car stopped, and Stephanie tried her hardest to calm down. She got off the car and walked over. A faint ache appeared in her heart when she saw him, but she didn’t express it. Coldly, she asked, “Why are you here?”

“To see you,” he said.

“To see me?” She reacted like it was a joke. “To see what I’m like without you? If you want to see me weak and scared, you’re going to be disappointed. I’m doing well without you.”

Even though none of this was what she imagined when they first met, and even though she still harbored feelings for him, she was free now. She never was something to be controlled, even by the

person she

liked.

“You look like you hate me.” Paul took a long drag on his cigarette. There was an indescribable upset in his heart when he saw how cold she was being.
