To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 270

Chapter 270 What Are You Doing Here?

After the movie ended, they exited the hall. Jenny asked, “What do you think? Do you like it?”

“Yeah, I do,” he replied while staring at her.

She turned around and met his eyes. He seemed to be saying that he liked staring at her throughout the movie instead of actually reviewing the movie. Dumbfounded, she scoffed, “Can’t you be serious for once?

“I am being serious.” He coughed and added, “The movie was enjoyable. It was exciting.” Although he missed out on most parts, he believed it was good because Jenny was absorbed in the story.

She smirked and dropped the topic. “What’s for lunch?”

“You decide. I’m okay with anything.” Any food was fine as long as he was dining with her.

She could not think of anything and scanned around. “Let’s have a look around.”

“Sure, we’re not in a hurry. It’s still early.” Alec nodded, and they strolled around the mall, searching for a

restaurant.

Suddenly, she halted in front of one restaurant and stared at the busy employees. Following her gaze, one could see that she was focused on a particular staff member.

“What’s wrong?” Alec looked in the same direction and realized she was staring at a young boy. Her expression soured, and without answering, she stormed into the restaurant to confront the boy.

The boy sensed that someone was in front of him and looked up. He froze when he saw Jenny standing there.

“D-Dr. Walter?” The boy sounded unsure.

“Joey Little!” Jenny was angry. “Shouldn’t you be in school? Why are you working here?”

The boy named Joey lowered his head and dared not look into Jenny’s eyes. He didn’t answer her either.

“Did you drop out of school?” Jenny couldn’t think of another reason he was working here. He lowered his head when he heard her question, affirming her suspicion. Feeling sorry for the boy but furious at his decision, she demanded to know, “Why did you drop out? Didn’t I tell you to look for me if you face any trouble?” NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Joey Little was the boy who almost lost his life at the hands of his stepmother. He was forced into a craniotomy even when he didn’t need one, and had it not been for Jenny, he would have lost his life.

That was how Jenny found out about Joey’s unfortunate background. After Joey’s dad remarried, he stopped caring about his son and allowed his new wife to abuse Joey, even to the point where she wanted Joey dead.

Jenny felt sorry for Joey and worried about his future. Therefore, she reminded him to come to her if he faced any difficulties in life. To her dismay, not only did he not contact her, but he also decided to drop out of school and work in a restaurant, which infuriated her.

“Stop what you’re doing and get back to school.” She reached out and grabbed the tablecloth from his

hand.

He looked up with teary eyes. “Dr. Walter, this is my problem. Please stay out of it.”

“I could very well leave you alone. Whatever happens to you doesn’t affect me anyway. But have you thought about it carefully? You might regret your decision to drop out and work when you’re older,” she

advised him earnestly, hoping he wouldn’t go down the wrong path. She was never one to meddle in the affairs of others, but the matter at hand concerned the future of a boy she was acquainted with. She

couldn’t possibly turn a blind eye to it.

Joey’s hands were trembling. He understood that Jenny wanted the best for him, but… he had no option.
