To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1151-For Your Sake When Jenny woke up the following day, Alec had already made breakfast, and Old Mr. Faust was also sitting at the dining table. They seemed to be waiting for her.

Jenny felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly went to the dining room downstairs. "I'm sorry, Grandpa. I overslept."

"It's fine. It's still early. I'm up early because of my age. Don't compare yourself to me," Old Mr. Faust said with a smile, inviting her over for breakfast.

Jenny sat down at the table and then looked at Alec. "What time did you wake up to make breakfast?"

"Not that early. Warren was the one who got most of it." He only woke up to make the pancakes.

"Thanks for your hard work.’ Jenny smiled at him, feeling a little apologetic.

Alec felt happy when he heard her saying that. "Making breakfast for you is not hard work for me at all.’ If Jenny wanted it, he could make breakfast for her for the rest of her life.

"Ahem!" Old Mr. Faust cleared his throat. "I'm still here."

How had he never noticed that his grandson was so cheesy? Jenny was the only person who could stand it. If he were in her shoes, he really would not be able to accept it.

Alec did not say anything else anymore. Jenny covered her face as she smiled and remained silent.

The three of them had breakfast in silence. Then, Jenny and Alec left the Old Mansion to make the drive to Orchid Village.

They didn't have much time for their visit this time round. Alec had plenty of things to handle for work, and Jade would get married that weekend, so Jenny had to return earlier to see if she needed any help.

Jenny didn’t notify David's family beforehand about their trip to Orchid Village this time. It was mainly because she didn't want to argue with Hannah and Felicity. She wanted to secretly head over and also leave in secret after visiting her grandfather’s grave.

When David walked past his father's grave later, he saw the flowers and candles Jenny had left behind. He then figured that she had come by.

However, he didn't blame Jenny for not paying his family a visit. After all, if she really had gone over, Hannah might stir up some trouble again. Jenny had probably thought of that as well, which was why she did not visit his family.

He sighed and walked toward the field nearby to start working for the day.

After Jenny and Alec returned from Orchid Village, they stayed at Parrington for three more days before leaving.

As Old Mr. Faust watched Alec and Jenny walk into the distance at the Parrington Airport, he could not help but sigh. "I don’t even know when they will be returning next time."

A home would only be lively when there were a few more people in it. With Jenny and Alec gone, only a few maids would be left at the Old Mansion, so Old Mr. Faust felt lonely.

"Mr. Alec cares for you so much, so he certainly would come back often to visit you," Warren replied. Then, he added, "Besides, Bardoff City is not far from here. If you miss them, we can fly over to see them."

"You're right." Old Mr. Faust nodded, breaking his gaze into the distance." Let's go. We should go home."

When Warren wheeled Old Mr. Faust into the car, Alec and Jenny had boarded the plane as well.

Alec was probably truly occupied. His phone had not stopped ringing. He just kept getting calls from others.

When Jenny saw him like that, she knew he would be working day and night again for a few days after he returned. She could not help but feel a little sorry for him. "Do you have a lot of things to take care of in the Faust Group?"

"Mmhmm. After all, it hasn't been that long since I've taken over, so there are many people making trouble behind my back," Alec replied, but he was staring at the laptop in front of him and tapping away on the keyboard.

Jenny sighed and said, "Still, you need to take more breaks."

"I know." Alec closed his laptop. "Don't worry. I'll definitely take care of my health, even if it's for the sake of spending more time with you."

He was not willing to part with Jenny early because of his health. He didn't care about all these in the past, but he could no longer ignore them at that moment.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1152-You Started It Soon, the plane took off and headed toward Bardoff City. Jenny felt sleepy as soon as she boarded the plane, so she fell asleep on Alec's shoulders very quickly.

Alec waved to a stewardess, requesting a blanket. Then, he put the blanket on Jenny gently. The gentleness in his eyes was almost spilling over. The stewardess standing at the side was extremely envious when she saw it.

She could not help but ask softly, "Sir, is she your wife?’ "Not yet. She's my girlfriend," Alec replied without thinking too much about it. His gaze was fixed on Jenny the whole time.

It was inevitable that the stewardess would think she still had a chance when she heard that Jenny was only his girlfriend.

In this day in age, even a married couple could get divorced, let alone a couple that had yet to get married. They might be madly in love at that moment, but who could tell how long they could stay together?

Thinking of that, the stewardess plucked up the courage to ask, 'Sir, may I have your contact? I can immediately contact you when our company has any promotions later."

It was only then did Alec notice something was not quite right. He looked up at the stewardess standing across from him.

When she saw him looking at her, she immediately tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear and smiled a little flirtatiously.

"No need for that." Alec looked away very quickly. He just wanted to see what kind of woman would be so unobservant. Did she not see that Jenny was by his side? How dare she hit on him.

The stewardess was stunned. She was a little surprised as that was the first time someone turned her down.

The man in front of her was young and handsome. Given that he could afford to fly first-class, he must be loaded as well. However, the people she usually served were also wealthy. Therefore, it was inevitable that she found herself in an awkward situation.

"Please don't misunderstand-’ "Can you shut up? Didn't you see that my girlfriend's resting?" Alec's tone became unpleasant. If he were not afraid that he might disturb Jenny, he might have raised his voice when scolding the stewardess.

The stewardess's face turned pale in disbelief.

Just as she was about to say something, she was pulled away by the cabin manager. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Mr. Faust.” Then, she pulled the young stewardess away. Finally, Alec had some peace and quiet.

When he turned his head to look at Jenny, he realized that she had opened her eyes at some point and was a little annoyed. "Did I wake you up?"

"Someone tried to hit on you in front of me. If I didn't wake up, then I would be too unwary, wouldn't I?" Jenny said with a smile.

Alec pulled her back into his arms. "There's no need for you to be wary. I only have eyes for you.” "Is that so? I see that the girl just now is quite pretty.” She looked pretty enough to be an influencer, at least. If Jenny were a man, it would be hard for her not to have a crush on the stewardess. After all, the man would not need to take responsibility after sleeping with a girl who threw herself at him like that.

Alec rolled his eyes at her. He was a little angry. "Am I that superficial to you?"

Jenny fell silent. It seemed like she was truly thinking about what kind of person Alec was.

Alec's expression darkened. He leaned in and kissed Jenny on the lips." You've gone overboard!"

Jenny snickered and pushed him away. "Don't disturb me. I want to sleep."

"You're the one who started it, alright?" Alec expressed his grievances.

Jenny ignored him, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again. She actually did not take the stewardess from earlier seriously at all. She had been woken up, so it was only natural that she was a little annoyed.

The young stewardess was pulled into the crew rest compartment. Just as she was about to say something, the cabin manager scolded her in a stern voice, "What are you doing? Don't you know you're on the clock now?" "I was just trying to provide a better service for our customers in the first- class cabin." The young stewardess did not feel that she was wrong. Instead, she was very unhappy about the cabin manager's appearance.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1153-Do You Really Have a Crush on Her?

The cabin manager rolled her eyes when she heard that. Then, she sneered coldly and said, ‘ You know very well why you did that. I don't wish to expose you, but if you affected your work, don't blame me for not showing you mercy."

The stewardess wanted to say something else, but the cabin manager didn't let her. "Why don't you look closely at who that person is? How could you even think you're worthy?"

"Who is he?" The stewardess had just joined this airline after leaving her previous employment. She was not from Parrington, so she truly didn't know Alec.

The cabin manager didn't answer her question. Instead, she looked at her in disdain. "In any case, he's someone out of your league."

Then, the cabin manager left. The stewardess, however, was a little unwilling to admit defeat. She looked up Alec's name on the passenger list and committed it to memory. She was thinking of checking his identity out later when she left the plane.

Soon, the plane landed. Jenny woke up just in time. She got up and disembarked with Alec.

However, something they hadn't expected happened while waiting for their luggage at the baggage carousel. The stewardess who hit on Alec on the flight earlier actually followed them there.

"Mr. Faust," she called out to Alec with a smile. "Mr. Faust, this is my business card. If you need anything, you can call me. I promise to satisfy you.” Alec was perplexed while Jenny sneered secretly.

The stewardess winked at Alec. It was because she had already looked Alec's information up online that she knew who he was.

She felt she had no chance with a person like him, but even if she could only be his mistress, she would be fine with that. Therefore, she chose to make a move as she didn't want to miss her only chance.

Before Alec said anything, Jenny grabbed the business card from his hand, glanced at it, and threw it in the trashcan beside them. "Even if you wish to get yourself a customer, you need to see who you're talking to. Have you thought of the consequences before you act like this?"

The stewardess was upset. She didn’t know Jenny's identity, so it was only natural that she was not too polite with her. "You've gone too far! I gave that to Mr. Faust. Who are you to throw it away?"

"I’m his girlfriend. Can't I do that?" Jenny looked back at Alec and asked with a smile.

She was smiling, but Alec felt that her smile masked her hostility. Without even hesitating, he nodded hard. "Of course, you can. I support any decisions you make."

The stewardess was speechless. She thought, "This man can't be a fool, can he? Could he be rejecting me when I've already thrown myself at him?"

"Get out of my way!’ Their luggage had arrived, and Alec had already gotten them. Of course, Jenny didn't wish to waste any time on the stewardess anymore.

When Jenny walked past her, she stopped in her tracks again. ’Oh yes. I'll file a complaint against you. You should start thinking about who you should hand your business card to so that you can keep your job."

The stewardess was so pissed off that she was at a loss for words.

However, she started to feel a little scared immediately after that. Would Jenny truly file a complaint against her?

She wasn't afraid of Jenny but of Alec. If Jenny were to file a complaint in Alec's name, then she definitely would not be able to keep her job. At that moment, she was a little scared.

She immediately called her boss. After she coaxed her boss in a cutesy manner, her boss finally agreed to meet her.

Jenny and Alec had no idea about that. They were not interested in it either.

However, Jenny was serious when she said she wanted to file a complaint. As soon as she got in the car, she called the airline to complain about the stewardess.

Alec couldn't help but be amused when he saw her describing the stewardess's tone dramatically to the person on the other end of the call.

After the call ended, Alec said, "I thought you were joking, but you actually filed a complaint."

"I'm not a person who likes to joke.’ Jenny glanced at him, then she said with suspicion, "You can't really have a crush on her, can you?"

Alec was speechless. He immediately used his finger to flick Jenny on her forehead. "What are you thinking about? I just thought that kind of person isn't worthy of you wasting your time. If you're really mad, I'll have someone take care of it later. There's no need for you to call personally.’

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 115-t Is an Important Event "It's fine. I don't feel I've wasted my time. I feel it's quite interesting.’ Her life was too dull, so of course, she would not feel that it was a waste of time when things get spiced up sometimes.

Alec said nothing further when he heard her saying that. 'Do I first take you home?"

"No need. Just drop me off at Jade's home. I'll go and see if she needs any help." Jade and Max's wedding would be in a couple of days, so Jade should be very busy at that moment. As her bridesmaid, Jenny had to go and have a look.

Alec had no objections. He told the driver the address and asked him to drive them there.

"What about you? Are you going to the company?" Jenny asked.

Alec nodded. "I’ve only left for a few days, but there's already a bunch of things piled up and waiting for me to handle. There are too many things to handle at the Faust Group, and those people from the Faust family don't want to get involved at all. That's why I'm quite busy."

"Alec, I think you can try letting Julian or Isabelle help you. They are also a part of the Faust family, so they probably won't do anything to the Faust Group."

Jenny had met the siblings. She felt they were quite amicable and had no ill intention.

If Alec were to handle such a huge company on his own, he would be swamped with work forever. However, once he had a couple more people helping him, it would be much easier for him.

Alec fell silent for a moment. He thought that she made some sense. "I'll talk to them later and see what they think.' He didn't have his guard up against those few people from the Faust family. On the one hand, it was because he was confident in himself; on the other hand, he also felt Julian and Isabelle probably had no ill intentions. In any case, they were much more reliable than Xavier and Luke.

Soon, they arrived at Jade's home. Jade had bought a property in Bardoff City because she had moved to the city. At that moment, her home was bustling.

She was going to get married. It would be her second marriage, but to Jade's parents, it was still a happy occasion. They had always been worried that their daughter would lose hope in marriage after experiencing failure once.

Fortunately, she was still willing to get married.

They had met Max. He was a little unreliable back then, but they could tell the young man truly loved their daughter and was good to her.

As Jade's parents, they didn't have any other demands. As long as he was good to their daughter, there would be nothing to be concerned about.

When Jenny arrived, Jade's home was packed with her relatives.

After Jenny entered and met Jade's parents, she quickly greeted them," Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Weston."

There were a lot of people in Jade's home. After Jenny greeted Jade's parents, Jade got her out of there and went to the cafe opposite her home. "Gosh, finally, some peace and quiet."

Even Jade found her home noisy, let alone Jenny.

However, they were her relatives, so she could not say anything. She was just feeling troubled as she could not find an excuse to leave. Fortunately, Jenny arrived, which provided Jade the chance to leave.

"It's good to have so many people. After all, a wedding is an important event.

Your parents also hope that you can have a grand wedding," Jenny comforted Jade, as she did not want her to feel unhappy at that moment.

Jade, however, was not really unhappy. She just felt they were a little noisy. "I know. I originally wanted to have something simple this time and just have dinner with our parents. But Max disagrees. He insisted on having a big one. If he hadn't, things would not have been so troublesome."

If it was according to her idea, they didn't even need to have a wedding ceremony, wedding photos, and a reception. Just a simple dinner at a hotel for their family and friends would do

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1155-We're Just Playing the Supporting Roles Jenny and Max were on the same page on that matter. ’Max just wants to be good to you. Which woman wouldn't want a grand wedding?"

"So what if we had a grand wedding? It won't hold us back at all from having arguments in the future,' Jade said in a mocking tone.

Jenny could not help but burst out laughing. She didn't know what to say." It's because you'll argue in the future that you have to save some good memories.

This way, when you guys do argue later on, you'll be reminded of how much you loved each other back then when you think of the wedding."

Jade pursed her lips and said nothing.

She wanted to say that all these were useless. She also had a grand wedding with Hayden back then, but that didn't stop them from arguing and fighting. In the end, he betrayed her and forced her to agree to the divorce without taking even a cent for alimony.

She didn't say it, but that didn't mean Jenny was clueless. "Jade, everybody is different. You can't marry Max with any prejudices. It'll be hard for you to live a happy life that way."

Jenny hoped this was a marriage that could bring Jade happiness and let her forget the pain she got from her first marriage.

"I know what you mean. Don't worry. I'm not that foolish." She just could not help thinking about it sometimes, but she would not truly take it to heart.

Everything would pass eventually. Perhaps it was already in the past at that moment.

"Oh yes, Jade, I came over today to ask if you needed me to help you with anything. Maybe blow some balloons, wrap some gifts, or something,' Jade said with a smile, trying to divert Jade's attention.

Jade shook her head. ‘So many of my family members are here, so all those have long been taken care of."

"I'm sorry. I was at Parrington the past few days. I should have come earlier to help." Jenny felt a little apologetic. She felt that she had failed as her bridesmaid.

Jade did not mean that, so she said, "The reason my mother invited so many relatives over was to do all these. They were very happy to help.

Don't think about it too much."

"Mmhmm." Jenny nodded and moved on from this topic.

After giving it a thought, Jade said, "Having said that, you and Stephanie have yet to try your bridesmaid dresses. Since you're available now, let's go try it on, so it won't have any fitting issues when you wear them later."

She didn't mind Jenny and Stephanie looking prettier than her at her wedding.

She even hoped that they would doll up. She would also be happy seeing them looking beautiful.

"Alright. I'll give Stephanie a call." Jenny accepted her suggestion. It would also be the perfect chance for them to discuss what they should be doing on Jade’s wedding day. It was Jenny's first time being somebody's bridesmaid, so she had no experience at all.

Stephanie came over very quickly after Jenny called her.

Things at Walker Inc were more stable recently, so she was not too busy.

Besides, she had already gotten the hang of handling the company's matters, so even if she did not go to the office, it would not be a big deal.

All three of them went to the bridal shop together. Jade had ordered her wedding dress there. It also had bridesmaid dresses, so she got them from the same shop out of convenience.

Jade asked the shopkeeper to bring the bridesmaid dresses over, and then she pushed Jenny and Stephanie into the dressing room. "Go try them on."

Soon, both of them came out of the dressing room. The dresses fit them very well. Both of them had a fair complexion, so they looked very pretty even when wearing green dresses.

"This is my first time seeing somebody looking so pretty in a green bridesmaid dress." The shopkeeper could not help but praise. When she looked at Jenny in particular, her eyes were beaming.

If she had not known Jenny's identity, she probably would have wanted very badly to ask Jenny to stay and be their shop's model.

"Jenny, Stephanie, these dresses suited both of you very well. You look very pretty," Jade could not help but praise them as well.

Jenny smiled and said, "Jade, we're just playing the supporting roles. The prettiest of all is still you."

"That's right. We're the green leaves that serve as a foil to you, the beautiful blossom," Stephanie echoed.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1156-Tell Me if This Is Real By the time Jenny returned home, it was already nightfall. After she and Stephanie tried on their bridesmaid dresses, Jade treated them to dinner.

When she walked through the door, Alec was working in the living room. He instinctively turned his head to look at the door when he heard it being opened.

"You're back."

"Mmhmm. Have you had dinner?" Jenny asked with care.

Alec shook his head. "Not yet. I was thinking of having dinner after finishing this work."

When Jenny was not around, he didn't even bother having dinner, much less making them. He was just focused on working.

As he said that, Jenny already came to him and put the takeout she got on the table. "I knew you hadn't had dinner. Luckily, I got takeout for you."

"It was Jade's treat, yet you got takeout. Don't you feel embarrassed?" Alec teased her. He didn't continue working. Instead, he sat next to Jenny and hugged her.

Jenny smiled as she didn't mind that it was Jade's treat. "We're so close, so we won't care about things like these."

"That makes sense. Your relationship with Jade does seem quite good," Alec said as he unpacked the takeout. He didn't feel it earlier, but after Jenny came home, he started to feel a little hungry.

It was the food he liked, so he could tell that Jenny did not order something randomly. Instead, she had put thoughts into ordering the takeout for him.

Alec was pleased. "You're really great, Jenny."

"I just got you takeout, and that's great?" If she were to personally make him dinner, Alec would be over the moon, wouldn't he?

Alec nodded while digging in. "Of course. You won't be so concerned about me back then. This shows that I'm becoming more important in your heart. Of course, I feel happy."

He made a great case, not only about the fact that Jenny got takeout for him but also the fact that she cared more and more about him.

Jenny was stunned. She pursed her lips as she was not willing to admit it." Don't flatter yourself. These are just the leftovers."

Alec smiled when he heard that. He didn't refute her as he knew it very well deep down.

"Did Max join you guys for dinner?" If Max did join them, then Alec would be a little annoyed as he should have followed them as well.

Fortunately, Jenny shook her head. "He didn't. He should be occupied with the wedding matters."

Alec nodded and said with a faint smile. "I didn't expect that he's quite serious.

At first, when he said he wanted to pursue Jade, I thought he just wanted a casual relationship like before."

"That's right. I thought so too back then." She even warned Max about it. She didn't expect that he was serious about it. They were even about to get married soon.

"I wonder when I will be able to marry the woman I love." Alec could not help but sigh while having his dinner.

Jenny rolled her eyes at him before getting up. "Enjoy your dinner. I'm going to the room to rest."

"You're not going to talk with me a little longer?" Alec asked.

"I have nothing to say to you." Jenny waved, then she went upstairs and disappeared from Alec's line of vision.

Alec chuckled helplessly as he watched her leave. "Alright. I have to continue working hard then!"

Two days later, it was Jade and Max's wedding.

There was a lounge dedicated to the couple on the second floor of the hotel. At that moment, the bride and the groom were making their final preparations.

Jade held Jenny's hand and was a little nervous. "Tell me, Jenny, is this real?

Why do I feel it's a little unreal?"

She had sworn secretly to never trust a man again when she divorced Hayden.

However, at that moment, not only did she trust a man again, but she was even going to marry him!

"Jade, it's real." Jenny remained calm and collected. It was as if her composure could influence Jade and calm her down.

Jade took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1157-I'm Not in a Hurry Not long after that, the wedding officially started. As the announcement of the bride's entrance was made, the door of the hall was opened. Jade took her father's hand as he escorted her into the hall. Max looked at her from the stage, and the love in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

One step after another, Jade's father walked her toward Max. Then, he put his daughter's hand in Max's hand. "Max, I'm leaving Jade under your care.

I hope you won't let me and her mother down.’ "Don't worry, Mr. Weston. I promise that you won't be disappointed," Max said seriously. He desperately wanted to swear to him on the spot.

Tears welled up in Jade's eyes, but she held them in and didn't burst out crying there and then.

The wedding ceremony continued. As Jade's bridesmaid, Jenny saw it up close when they said their vows to each other. She also watched them hug and kiss each other. She gave them her blessings from the bottom of her heart.

Finally, it was time for the bouquet toss. Jenny rubbed her palms. However, just as Jenny was prepared to showcase her skills, Jade handed her the bouquet directly. "Jenny, I hope you're the next person to be blessed with happiness."

Jenny was stunned.

"Hurry up and accept it. I have no objections to this at all." Stephanie nudged Jenny's arm. At the very least, Jenny had a boyfriend. Stephanie didn't even have one, so she was not in a hurry at all.

In the end, Jenny didn't refuse the bouquet. She felt it would be more meaningful if she had caught the bouquet herself, but it was a blessing from Jade, so she could not refuse it.

When the ceremony ended, Jenny returned to the table. Alec put some food on her plate. "You're hungry, aren't you? Hurry up and eat up."

As the bridesmaid and groomsman, they were busy the entire day helping out with the ceremony, so they truly had not eaten much.

"Mmhmm. You too." It was Jade's reception. Of course, Jenny had to eat more.

While they dug in, Jade and Max started going around to have a toast with guests. Soon, they got to their table.

Jade was a little drunk but was still very happy when she saw Jenny and the rest of them. "Jenny, I'm married now. You should work hard as well!"

"Jade, I'm not in a hurry." Jenny put on a forced smile. Why did she suddenly feel like everybody was urging her to get married? She was still very young.

Jade smiled and raised her glass. "Thank you for helping out today. For longlasting happiness."

"For long-lasting happiness," Jenny and the rest echoed, knocking their drinks back in one go.

Jenny could hold her liquor quite well, so one drink was no big deal to her.

However, Stephanie only had a moderate alcohol tolerance. Therefore, Leonard quickly took Stephanie's drink from her and gulped it down.

Stephanie was speechless.

"You can't drink alcohol,” Leonard said.

Stephanie pursed her lips. She thought that she was not that weak.

"Steph, do you feel very touched by the fact that Leonard cares about you so much?” Jenny deliberately teased her.

Stephanie glared at her when she heard that and said nothing. She did feel a little touch, but it was not much.

After that, they did not say anything anymore. They simply focused on eating.

After all, they were truly starving.

The guests left very quickly when the wedding ended.

There was a dinner party at night, but that was only for Jade and Max's friends.

They were all still young, so they could enjoy themselves happily.

After they all left the hotel, they were all driven to Max's mansion by the ride Max had arranged for them. The dinner party would be held there.

It was the first time Jenny had come over. It was also the same for the others, Jade included. Of course, to be more precise, it was not Jade's first time there.

She had been there once before. However, the mansion looked completely different from how it was at that moment.

Max had meticulously decorated the mansion. Fresh flowers and balloons could be seen everywhere. In any case, it just looked exceptionally dreamy.

All of them cheered to tease Jade, which made her a little embarrassed. She then whispered to Max, "Why did you do all this for?" "You don't like it?" Max frowned. He purposely got someone to decorate the mansion for her because he felt Jade would probably like it.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1158-Jade opened her mouth, but after falling silent for a moment, she still could not speak against what she felt. "I like it very much. Thank you."

"Jade, I'm your husband now. If you really want to thank me, can you use another method?” Max was displeased. Jade's tone sounded as if they were not close at all.

Jade's face flushed. However, perhaps because of the alcohol, she was not as restrained as before. She raised her head and gave Max a peck on his lips.

Then, she said in annoyance, "That should be enough, right?"

"Well, I need a little more," Max said.

"What-"

Just as she wanted to ask what more he needed, she was completely in Max's arms in the next second. He immediately pressed his lips against hers and turned that gentle peck earlier into a deeper kiss.

Everybody in their surroundings screamed and cheered. Jade was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.

That kiss lasted for a long time. It was unclear if Jade was out of breath or was just shy when it ended, but her face was as red as a tomato anyway.

She felt too embarrassed to face the others, so she glared at Max before running upstairs.

Max chuckled. He thought that this wouldn't work. They were already married, but she was still so shy. What should he do in the future, then?

Jenny and the rest were standing at the side. She had cheered quite loudly earlier. She would be lying if she said she was not envious of the happiness Jade and Max were feeling at that moment.

Jenny turned her head as she wanted to say something to Alec, who was standing next to her. However, she saw Alec staring at her with a burning gaze.

She cleared her throat and moved a couple of steps to the side." There are many people here. Don't fool around, alright?"

Not only were there quite a few people they were unfamiliar with, but they were also celebrating Jade and Max's wedding. They were not the star of the show, so they should not make a fool of themselves.

Alec put on a faint smile, pulled her into his arms, then whispered to her," So what you meant to say is that I can do it when there are fewer people?"

Jenny felt awkward. She did not want to speak to him anymore. She scanned the surroundings but didn't see any signs of Stephanie. She was still standing there earlier. How could she go missing in a blink of an eye?

"Leonard took her somewhere else," Alec said.

Jenny's eyes widened as she could not believe it. "Where did they go?"

"Who knows? Maybe…Leonard wanted to take this opportunity to tell her something." Alec saw it very clearly. When Max and Jade were kissing earlier, Leonard had been staring at Stephanie the whole time. He clearly desired her.

At such a moment, other than feeling sorry for Paul, there was nothing else Alec could do.

Alec's words, however, got Jenny very excited. "Really? He finally can't hold himself back and is going to confess?"

If that were true, then that day was truly a good day.

"You care about other people's business so much. Why aren't you caring about my feelings?” Jenny wanted to look for Stephanie, but Alec hugged her tightly, not allowing her to leave.

She felt Alec probably had too much to drink, so she reminded him, "You should drink less if you can't hold your liquor. If you get drunk later, I won't be able to get you home."

"Do you think I'm drunk?" Alec was helpless. Was he the kind of guy who would get drunk easily?

Jenny said nothing. However, her eyes were saying that he was drunk.

Alec sighed and broke his gaze away from her. "Forget it. Go have fun, then. I'll deal with you when we get home."

He truly could not do anything with Jenny since they were on someone else's turf.

Jenny glanced at him suspiciously when she heard that. Seeing he didn't continue hugging her, she got up and went upstairs. She decided to go looking for Jade.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1159-ing to ruin Jade and Max's first night as husband and wife. It was rather because Max was still drinking with his friends downstairs at that time, so Jenny felt it was not too good to leave Jade alone and came upstairs to check on her.

"What's up with Stephanie?" Jade asked.

Jenny shook her head. "Nothing. She probably went somewhere with Leonard."

Jade was not worried anymore when she heard that Stephanie was together with Leonard. ’I didn't know Leonard before this, but I can tell through this wedding that he really likes Stephanie. I just don't know when he's planning to tell her."

Everybody could tell. It was to the extent that even Stephanie, herself, knew about it. However, Leonard would not take the initiative to confess to her, putting Stephanie in a tough spot.

"Mmhmm. Let's just wait and see. I'm sure he can't hold it in for much longer."

Paul was still eyeing Stepanie. Jenny simply didn't believe that Leonard was not worried about that.

While chatting, both of them came out of the room and returned to the party downstairs again.

Stephanie was a little confused when Leonard brought her to the backyard.

"Why did you bring me here?’ Compared to the lively front yard, the backyard was much quieter. There was almost nobody in sight.

She was having a blast watching the kiss when Leonard dragged her away.

"I just have something I wanted to say to you." Leonard was a little drunk when he said that.

Stephanie blinked and said uncertainly, "Are you sure you want to do it here?"

She felt that the time and place were not quite suitable. However, Leonard looked like he could not wait any longer anymore.

"Stephanie, do you…have someone you like right now?" Leonard asked in a reserved manner.

Stephanie almost rolled her eyes at him. She thought, "If I do have someone I like, why am I still wasting my time with you here?"

"No," Stephanie said.

At first, Leonard was happy. However, he immediately thought of something, and he became sullen. "No? What do you think of me then?"

Stephanie looked at him suspiciously and was straightforward with him."

Leonard, if you want to tell me that you like me, just tell me straight. Don't beat around the bush."

She didn't like such an indirect confession like what Leonard was doing. If he liked her, he should just confess to her straight away. Why did he ask her what she thought about him? What if she told him he wasn't that great? Was he going to give up?

Leonard didn't expect to get such a reply from Stephanie. He suddenly did not know what to do. "Stephanie, l-l-l just…" He was so nervous that he could not speak clearly.

Stephanie was speechless. She might as well say the words for him, "You want to say that you like me, right?"

Leonard kept nodding his head. "Yes, yes."

"Just tell me directly then. Why did you have to beat around the bush?" She was a person who liked to be direct.

Leonard's face flushed as he was a little embarrassed. "I was afraid that you wouldn't say yes."

When Stephanie saw Leonard's cheeks turning red, there was a moment where she could not tell who was actually the one being confessed to. She was not blushing at all, but his cheeks were already red.

"Stephanie?" Leonard was on tenterhooks as Stephanie remained silent. "I want you to be my girlfriend. Do you want to?"

"What if I don't want to?’ Stephanie rolled her eyes at him.

Leonard was stunned. Once again, he didn't know what to do. "If you don't want to be my girlfriend, we can first be friends. I will wait until the day you say yes."

"Leonard, you're the deputy commissioner no matter what. Are you usually this shy when you work your cases?" Stephanie could not help but ask him. He was indeed not too similar to the impression of a deputy commissioner she had in mind.

Leonard was stunned, and then he immediately shook his head. He was not like this when he was working on his cases.

"This is my first time confessing my feelings to someone, so I'm a little nervous,"

Leonard told her honestly.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1160-idened as she could not believe it. She questioned if he was telling the truth. "You’ve never had a girlfriend before?"

"Mmhmm. I was a chubby kid back then, so who would have had a crush on me?" Leonard said, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, he continued, "I started working after that, and I was swamped at work every day. So I didn't have the time to think about it anymore."

If he had not met Stephanie, he might not even want to get himself a girlfriend at that point. After all, it was not important to him to have a girlfriend.

"Then why are you thinking of getting a girlfriend now?' Stephanie found it strange. No matter how she looked at it, she still found it a little strange that a person who had been busy working suddenly wanted to have a girlfriend.

Leonard looked at her. After falling silent for a while, he decided to tell her the truth, "Actually, it started because I knew about you and Paul. I knew his hands were not clean. I didn't want you to be with that kind of person as you would ruin yourself sooner or later. Later, as we interacted more, I realized I really liked you. That's why I've plucked up the courage to confess my feelings to you today."

Stephanie said nothing, but she believed what he said deep down. After all, she felt strange when they first met each other. She didn't think that she was pretty enough that someone would fall for her at first sight.

"Paul…"

"He was controlling the black market when he was in Parrington back then, so practically all of his businesses were illegal. However, now that he's moved to Bardoff City, he has turned most of his businesses into legal ones. If he doesn't continue breaking the law, and if he doesn't let me find any evidence against him, I cant do anything to him as well. Dont worry," Leonard said.

Of course, that was provided if Paul didn't continue to do anything illegal. If he continued breaking the law, Leonard would still not let him off the hook.

Stephanie rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm not worried about that. If he really did break the law, just catch him. It has nothing to do with me at all."

"I'm very glad that you think so." He was afraid that Stephanie still hadn't completely given up on Paul yet.

They seemed to have gone a little off-topic. Leonard scratched his head."

Stephanie, you still haven't told me if you're willing to be my girlfriend.' "You're so busy. Even if I were to be your girlfriend, you probably wouldn't have time to spend with me." When she didn't have a boyfriend, she could do anything alone. However, once she had a boyfriend, she still hoped that he could spend time with her.

When Leonard heard that, he immediately said seriously, "Dont worry. I'll certainly free up more of my time to be with you. All of my time after work and during all the holidays are all yours."

He was very sincere with his words. Stephanie was a little touched when she looked at him. ' You have to think it through. I'm not as great as you think I am."

"I've thought it through.’ He would not have confessed his feelings that day if he had not thought it through.

"Then…" Stephanie looked at him and smiled. "My answer is yes."

Leonard was stunned, and then he immediately beamed brightly. "Don't worry, Stephanie. I won't let you get hurt at all."

He pulled her into his arms. He just hugged her and did nothing else. Even so, he was already pleased.

As Stephanie nestled in his arms and felt his warmth, she felt a little uncertain for a moment.

Could this man in front of her truly bring her happiness?

Stephanie was actually feeling nervous. However, it was time for her to take a step forward.

When they returned to the front yard, they were already holding each other's hands. Jenny could tell at a glance that the air between them had changed.

She could not help but smile. She then nudged Alec with some smugness." I bet the two of them have gotten together."

Alec looked in the direction of Jenny's gaze and saw Leonard and Stephanie holding hands. In that instant, Alec could tell as well
