Ch. 1251..1260
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1251-Be Careful in the Future In the following days, Jenny went to work as usual. However, she would check in on Leonard every day. Although Leonard was not her patient, he was her best friend's boyfriend. She had to watch out. If anything happened to him, Stephanie would have her head.
Thankfully, Leonard healed up quickly. He was ready to be discharged in a week.
The day he was discharged, Jenny saw him and Stephanie walking together.
Their relationship blossomed during the days of novelxo his hospitalization.
They had obviously fallen more in love with each other.
"You can go back to work, Jenny. I'll send him back," Stephanie said.
Jenny nodded and looked at Leonard. "Be careful in the future. You may not care about your life, but you must consider how others will feel."
"I know." Leonard knew what Jenny meant by that, and he had nothing to say in return. He felt that she was right.
Jenny only went back to work after she watched them leave.
It was busy in the neurology department. Jenny had already spent some time in Bardoff Hospital, and because of her skill and the fact that none of her surgeries failed, the list of patients waiting to see her grew longer and longer.
All of a sudden, she became a celebrity doctor at Bardoff Hospital. Many people lined up to see her.
Jenny didn't mind. She would attend to anyone who went to her. If the line grew longer, she'd just take longer going through them; conversely, if there weren't a lot of people coming in, she'd get off work early. It didn't affect her very much.
However, it affected Alec greatly.
At eight in the evening, Alec felt worried when he saw that there were still a few patients in Jenny's office. Jenny's office hours were getting longer and longer. If this went on, she'd be burned out.
Hence, once Jenny was done with all her patients, he said, novelxo 'From tomorrow onward, you cannot take on any extra patients."
Every doctor had a fixed threshold of people they could attend to in a day, but Jenny often took pity on the patients and agreed to treat any and every person who came knocking, resulting in longer office hours.
There were numerous outpatients as well, and if she didn't attend to them, the surgeries would pile up. It was a long time since they'd had any semblance of a date together.
"These patients are mostly from out of town. If I don't attend to them now, their treatments will be delayed by another day. Besides their conditions worsening, they will have to pay for another day's worth of travel expenses. " no.velxo Jenny looked at him while saying that. It was because of this that she wanted to attend to them all. At least that way, she would save some of their time.
Alec understood what she meant, but he insisted. "You're going to collapse one day if you keep this up. Who will attend to them then?"
"But…"
"Listen to me. At most, I'll bring a few more doctors over," Alec said. He was determined.
Jenny considered it for a while and didn't argue with him. "Alright. With a few more doctors on board, no.velxo the patients would at least be attended to by the other doctors."
They could see her if their conditions were serious. It wouldn't make much of an impact on things.
Seeing that she was okay with it, novelxo Alec sighed in relief. "Let's go, Dr.
Walter. If not, we won't make it in time for dinner."
"Sorry for making you wait so long," Jenny said guiltily.
Alec shrugged. "My girlfriend is a doctor, after all. I have no choice but to wait."
Jenny smiled, saying nothing.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1252-?" Jenny was in a good mood. After all, she had worked the whole day and attended to no.velxo a lot of patients. She felt accomplished and satisfied, so much so that she forgot all about the exhaustion in her bones.
Alec looked at her. "What do you feel like eating?"
"I'm fine with anything," Jenny said.
"Then you will go wherever I go."
"Okay." Jenny had no objections to that. She didn't notice anything different with Alec's gaze. If she had any inkling of what would happen after, novelxo she would not be this calm.
The car arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. It was a place they often came to eat because of the great food and good ambiance.
Jenny didn't think there was anything no.velxo off about it. She followed him into the restaurant, which was when she realized that it was far too quiet. "Why is no one here?"
There were always a ton of customers in this restaurant.
"Look at the time. Who else is going to be novel.xo here beside us?" Alec asked, avoiding Jenny's gaze. He was afraid that she would find out.
Jenny thought that made sense. Although she still thought it was weird, she couldn't think of a plausible explanation at the moment, so she let it go.
Alec brought her to a table by the window. The restaurant they were in was located on the thirtieth floor. They could enjoy the magnificent night view of the city from their altitude.
Jenny's mood lifted even more when she saw the view. "How pretty."
"Is it? I don't think it's as pretty as you," Alec responded naturally as if nothing was wrong with his statement.
Jenny felt goosebumps all over when novelxo she heard that. "Can you stop being so romantic, Mr. Faust?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Is there anything novel.xo wrong with that?" Alec raised his eyebrows. He didn't think that there was anything romantic with those words at all. It was just a normal thing to say.
Maybe they didn't talk like that often, which was why she wasn't used to it.
Alec felt that he had to say more no.velxo romantic things, so Jenny would be used to it.
Jenny didn't argue with him. She merely thought that he was being a little weird today.
At that moment, piano music began playing through the restaurant. Jenny frowned. "This…"
It wasn't her first time there. She didn't know that the novelxo staff could play the piano. Before she could ask him about what was happening, the lights turned off.
Immediately after, some people novel.xo walked in through the door. One of them was holding a bouquet of roses, on which were strings of lights. It was then that Jenny could see who they were.
"Stephanie?"
It was indeed Stephanie. However, it wasn't just her.
Leonard was right next to Stephanie, and Max and Jade were there, too. Even Zack and Gilbert were present, along with Janet.
All at once, realization dawned on Jenny. She looked at Alec in disbelief. He wasn't proposing, was he?
It was all so sudden.
"You have to be happy, Jenny," Stephanie said, handing her the bouquet of roses.
Jenny didn't refuse them. She had been looking forward to this day for a while.
She just didn't think novelxo Alec would be so good at covering it up. This was a surprise like no other.
Once the roses were in her arms, Alec got down on one knee. "Marry me, Jenny."
He opened up the box. In it was a large diamond ring.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1253-Go Away Although Jenny could guess what Alec was up to when she saw Stephanie and the others, seeing him actually get down on one knee and present the ring to her was a thrilling experience. She'd fantasized about this scenario more than once, and now it was finally coming true. She had to admit that she was overjoyed.
Although she and Alec shared a tumultuous history, they finally ended up together. She had long fallen in love with him, so this marriage would not be like the first. In fact, in Jenny's eyes, this was the real marriage.
"Jenny?"
Jenny was just staring at Alec with seemingly no intention of accepting. Alec couldn't help getting worried. "I know I was an asshole in the past and didn't treat you well. But this time, I swear to be better to you. Whatever happened before will not happen again."
A huge misunderstanding had been committed between them. If they hadn't married and then divorced in a haze, he and Jenny would not have had such a hard time getting together.
Jenny snapped back to reality when he spoke. She smiled. "I know, and I believe you."
After everything that they had gone through, she chose to believe Alec. This time, they would be happy together.
He successfully put the ring on her finger. Jenny couldn't help wanting to laugh.
"I haven’t even worn the ring you used to confess with, and now you're giving me a new one. Do you just really like rings, Alec?"
Alec seemed to like gifting rings a lot.
"I just think that you look beautiful with them." Alec got up, holding her hands.
Her fingers were long and slender, and they looked extraordinarily beautiful with the ring.
Jenny smiled and said, "But I can't keep wearing it. Doctors can't wear rings often."
Alec was stunned. He didn't know about things like that. Only then did he understand why Jenny hadn't worn the rings he had gifted her.
"It's okay. I'll give you something else next time." He could give her other things.
If she couldn't wear rings, she could wear them around her neck as a necklace.
Whilst they talked, applause sounded from their audience. They were all looking at them with smiles on their faces.
Besides Leonard, who only got to know them recently, everyone else present had witnessed just how hard it was for them to finally be together. Everyone was happy to see them have a happy ending.
Alec directed them to their seats. The restaurant lit up, and the waiters began serving them their food.
Jenny then realized that Paul was there too, and Melanie was by his side. She didn't think too much of it. After all, Paul was Alec's best friend, and it was expected of him to come. She was just a little worried about him.
Thankfully, he wasn't doing anything weird. In fact, he wasn't even sparing a glance at Stephanie and Leonard. It was as if he didn't know them at all.
They all took their seats. Max then piped up, "Seems like I'm a witness of your love. Do you want me to officiate your wedding?"
Alec rolled his eyes. Coldly, he said, "Oh, go away."
Having Max at the wedding was generous enough. Having him as their officiator? What a joke.
"What? Have I said something wrong? I was the first guy to go after her after you divorced her." Max wagged his eyebrows, jutting his chin out toward Alec
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1254-What Do You Know About Me?
Alec scolded him inwardly for being so immature, then said coldly, "I'd advise you to be more careful with your words in the future. You're married now. Jade might run after you with a rolling pin one day."
Max glanced nervously at Jade for a second. However, she didn't look angry. He retorted, 'Jade and I are on great terms. She wouldn't mind."
"That's enough. Eat your food." Jade rolled her eyes. Although she knew Max didn’t really have feelings for Jenny, she felt it was best if he shut up now, in case he killed the vibe.
Max instantly looked at Jade pitifully as if wanting to object. But when he saw her warning glare, he shut up.
Jenny didn't expect the flamboyant Max to be subdued after his marriage to Jade. He was a family guy now, nothing like the arrogant bastard he was before.
It seemed that marriage could change people.
It was a merry atmosphere in the restaurant. After the meal, Alec offered to take them to the bar for drinks. His proposal had succeeded, after all, and in Alec's eyes, it was worth celebrating with everyone.
No one had any objections to that, and Jenny didn't refuse. They went to the bar in high spirits. However, there was one exception.
Paul followed them to the bar, but he didn't smile at all. He drank throughout the night with his head down. Melanie wasn't too happy, either.
She was not on close terms with either Alec or Jenny, and even when she knew that Stephanie and Leonard were also coming, she was still thick- skinned enough to come. She didn't want Paul to suffer alone.
Paul was sitting in a corner. Melanie sat next to him, looking at him sadly." Don't drink anymore." She tried to take the drink away from his hands but didn't succeed. "I know you're miserable, but what's the use in drinking? You're just going to harm your body.' She was anxious and frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.
Paul glanced at her and downed his glass. "Why are you following me around?
Why don't you have fun with them?"
They should all be having fun.
"I'm not familiar with Alec and Jenny. I'm only here for you." Melanie didn't disguise her affection for Paul. Even her gaze was scorching.
When Paul met her gaze, it was as if he was burnt. He looked away hurriedly.
"For me? What a joke."
"Why is it a joke? Can't I have feelings for you?" Melanie was not someone who beat around the bush. From the day she started having feelings for Paul, she didn't hold back her affection toward him.
Paul put down his glass, amused by her words. "Feelings for me? Why? What do you know about me?"
"I don't need a reason to like you. As for knowing you…" She paused." You're not even giving me a chance. How would I know you?"
"And you dare to say that you like me? Isn't that just hilarious?" Paul shook his head and held up his glass again, not planning on saying anything else to her.
Melanie was fast. She grabbed the glass. "Who says I can't like someone without knowing them first? If I like someone, I'll like them no matter how they are. That's why it's not important that I understand you."
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1255-Have You Agreed?
Melanie was straightforward. She said whatever she wanted. Even before Paul, she didn't have any intentions to lie or pretend. She didn't care what sort of person Paul was. It was enough that she liked him.
Paul said nothing, merely snatching his glass back. "Unfortunately, I don't like you back."
"Why not? Is it because I'm not as pretty as Stephanie? Or is it because you think I’m no match for her?" Melanie couldn't understand why Paul still hadn't let go even though Stephanie and Leonard were already together. He had no hope at all. Wasn’t he tired?
Paul kept on drinking, sweeping his gaze over Stephanie and Leonard.
Stephanie was leaning against his shoulder. Although Paul had verbally let her go, he couldn't help feeling an ache in his heart when he saw her.
Melanie noticed his gaze and waved her hands in front of him. "Stop looking.
She won't be yours no matter how long you look."
That was exceptionally cruel. Paul looked at her angrily.
"What I said is true, Paul. I like you very much and want you to move on. Isn't finding a new girlfriend the best way to forget someone? I think you need someone new right now." Melanie didn't want to miss a single chance to be with Paul.
If it weren't for Alec's proposal, she might not even have been able to meet Paul today. If she didn't tell him everything she wanted to say, there was no telling when they would meet again.
Truth be told, this was the first time that Paul encountered a woman like her. He didn't quite know how to respond.
Usually, he would just ignore her and leave, as long as she no longer saw him again. But now, he was here for Alec and couldn't very well leave.
He looked at her, irritated. "I don't need anyone new. Dont waste your time on me.” "You're not even giving it a shot. How would you know that you don't need one?
Are you planning to hold on to Stephanie forever?" Melanie was a little sarcastic. "If that's what you plan on doing, then it's my fault for falling for the wrong guy. I don't want to be with someone who refuses to move on."
"Reverse psychology doesn't work on me," Paul huffed. He couldn't care less about what Melanie said.
She pouted, continuing, "Just give me a chance, Paul. Stephanie has already moved on. What's the use of holding on to the past?"
"Do you really want to be with me that badly? And would it really be alright with you if I didn't love you?" Melanie's words had somewhat touched Paul.
It was true. Stephanie had already moved on. Holding on to the past was a huge turn-off.
He was Paul Wagner. He was supposed to be a badass!
Melanie saw her chance and nodded quickly. "Yes. I want to be with you, even if you don't love me right now.” Even if he didn't love her now, that didn't mean he wouldn't love her in the future. Melanie was confident that as long as Paul gave her a chance, he would fall in love with her. She wasn’t inferior. There was no reason for him not to fall in love.
Paul cleared his glass once more and looked at Stephanie through the peripherals of his vision. Perhaps of her incitement, he nodded.
"Have you agreed?" Melanie couldn't believe it.
"Yes. But I don't love you. You should know that very well." Paul was afraid of trouble, so he felt that this had to be made clear from the get-go.
Melanie didn't care about that at all. "So that means you're my boyfriend now, aren't you?"
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1256-We Will Always Be Family She smiled happily. Alec and Jenny were actually paying attention to what was happening to them. When they saw her smiling so happily, they sensed something had changed.
Then, they saw Melanie cradling Paul’s arm. She said, "Everyone, let me introduce us. This is my boyfriend, Paul Wagner.' She smiled novel.xo brightly no.velxo as if she had won a fabulous prize.
Everyone was stunned. Alec clapped first, to which Jenny seconded."
Congratulations."
It was worth celebrating.
If Paul could hit it off with Melanie, Stephanie no.velxo would no longer be plagued with worries.
Jenny looked at Alec, sensing that he had relaxed tremendously. Maybe he knew it was alright that Paul most likely had agreed to be novel.xo Melanie's boyfriend even though he had no feelings for her, as long as he was willing to take that first step. What did it matter if their feelings were genuine or not?
Stephanie looked at them and smiled at Melanie. She even gave her a " good luck" gesture. She and Melanie chatted sometimes. novelxo Although Melanie knew Paul liked Stephanie, she had not shown animosity towards her. Hence, Stephanie felt that she was a good person.
As for Paul, he paled in comparison.
She hoped that Paul would know how to cherish her and refrain from repeating the same mistake.
Leonard was made uncomfortable by the way she kept looking at them. He got her to look at him instead. "What are you looking at? Are you still thinking about your past lover?"
"Oh, what are you talking about? I was looking at Melanie." Stephanie glared at him. "Past lover" sounded so terrible.
Leonard didn't let her keep staring at them. "Don't look anymore. Everyone's happy to see them together. It's a good thing for us, too."
At least Paul wouldn't keep bothering Stephanie anymore.
Paul had not said anything. He let Melanie hold on novel.xo to his arm at will and didn't retort when she introduced him to everyone as her boyfriend. There was no one sassier. Paul was no loser.
So what if Stephanie chose to be with Leonard? Paul was no worse off. He had women who liked him aplenty.
It was merry in the booth. Everyone drank a lot, and when they finally dispersed, the men were basically wasted while the women were still alert.
Jenny watched as Stephanie, Jade, no.velxo and the others left. She turned, seeing that Zack and Janet had also gotten into their car. Only Gilbert was left standing.
Gilbert was the only bachelor around tonight.
"I got a cab for you, Gilbert," Jenny said. The others had novel.xo girlfriends or wives who could drive, but Gilbert was alone. He could only get in a cab.
Gilbert didn't think much of it. He looked at the drunk Alec and asked, "Do you need a hand?"
"It's fine. I can sober him up." Jenny shook her head. It was late, and she didn't want to bother him.
Gilbert didn't press it. They all had their own lives to lead.
"Jenny." Gilbert was tipsy, and his eyes were glazed over. "I'm glad to see you happy."
"Thanks, Gilbert. No matter who I'm with, novelxo you will always be my brother.
We will always be family," Jenny said.
Gilbert nodded. "Of course. If Alec ever makes novel.xo you miserable, let me know, and I'll beat him to a pulp."
He was Jenny's strongest family member. He had to protect her.
Jenny smiled and nodded. Then, she asked, "Gilbert, both Zack and I have found our partners. What about you? You're not thinking of staying single forever, are you?"
"Don't worry. I'm brilliant. I'll definitely find no.velxo someone that I like." Gilbert smiled. He didn’t want Jenny to worry.
The truth was, he had no intention of getting into a relationship, and he was not interested in any of the women around him. But he didn't have to let Jenny know that.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1257-Are You Helping Me Bathe?
Jenny parked the car outside the villa and hauled Alec out of the car with all her might.
Alec was truly drunk this time. In fact, he was losing some of his consciousness.
However, there was a smile on his lips. no.velxo He knew who was next to him.
"Jenny, do you know how happy I am?" He smiled, murmuring.
Jenny smiled. "I do.” Anyone would be able to tell based on what he was like now.
Once she carried him into the room, she threw him on the bed and sighed in relief. "You have to cut down on the drinks in the future. I'll let this pass tonight, but I won't care about you in the future."
It was tiring carrying someone so wasted around.
"Alright. I promise." Alec rubbed his forehead, sitting up with great effort.
Jenny saw that he wasn't drunk enough no.velxo to pass out, so she said, "Go shower. It'll be uncomfortable sleeping in that state."
"Will you help me?" Alec asked instinctively.
Jenny glared at him. That was her answer.
Alec smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Then I won't take a shower. No one would help me if I slipped on the tiles."
"Can you be a little more appropriate, Alec?"
Alec was still pretty alert. Even if he was drunk, he wasn't as drunk as all that.
He didn't care and lay on the bed once more. "I honestly can't get up, Jenny. I'll shower tomorrow."
"Alright. Rest well. I'm going off to rest, too." Jenny didn’t want to no.velxo bother him anymore. She was on the verge of sleep.
When he heard that she was going to leave him, novelxo Alec's eyes shot open.
He waved at her. "Come hug me, Jenny.' Jenny didn't move. "No. You need to sleep."
Verbally, Alec just wanted a hug. But who knew what he really wanted to do?
"I just want a hug, Jenny. I don't think that's much to ask," Alec said.
Jenny saw that he was serious and didn't refuse. ' Alright, but it's just a hug. If you play any weird tricks, I'll be mad."
Besides Alec, who was drunk, she was exhausted this time of the night. She had no energy at all to be doing anything else.
Alec was satisfied to have hugged Jenny.
"I love you, Jenny." He hugged her from behind, novelxo resting his chin on her shoulder. The smell of alcohol wafted from behind her.
Something moved Jenny's heart. "Go to sleep. I'll be here with you."
"Okay." Alec agreed and soon fell asleep. It was as if he slept easier with her by his side.
Jenny could tell, based on his breathing, that he was deeply asleep. 'We will be happy," she murmured. Then, she closed her eyes and dozed off.
The next morning, Jenny awoke and was about to novel.xo turn over when she felt someone was embracing her. Her mind cleared, and she remembered she was accompanying Alec to sleep last night.
"Are you awake?” Alec could feel her trying to move.
Jenny murmured in response. 'What time is it?"
"It's Sunday. We don't have to go to work," Alec reminded her.
"Oh." Jenny had forgotten.
"Let's see your parents at Walter Castle after breakfast." Alec sat up.
Jenny was bewildered. "Why?"
Alec was embarrassed but said, "They know that I proposed, novelxo and they want us to have lunch with them."
Not only that, but to talk about the wedding, too.
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1258-I Should Give Her Some Time Jenny rolled her eyes. Alec was clearly the one who had told them. She’d wanted to tell them, but only after a while. But since Alec had no.velxo already informed them, Jenny had no intention of covering it up. "Alright. I'm going to bathe."
"I'll wait for you downstairs." Alec had woken up early, and he had already washed up. He just hadn't woken her up.
Alec left the room. Jenny sat on the bed, staring into the distance for a while.
Then, she got off the bed and went into the washroom.
Soon, Jenny went downstairs. Alec was already waiting for her in the living room, and breakfast was ready on the table. This scene alone made no.velxo it feel like they had already been married for a long time.
"Let's eat." Alec saw her coming downstairs and went toward the dining table.
They ate, and soon they were on their way towards Walter Castle.
Graham and Lynette were waiting for them. They were both feeling a mixture of emotions. Although they knew this day would come, it still felt too sudden.
Their daughter was going to be married off.
"Don't worry, Lynette. I've observed Alec for a long time,no.velxo and he's an acceptable young man. What's more, with us behind her, Jenny won't suffer, "
Graham comforted Lynette, although he was feeling sad.
However, in comparison,novel.xo Lynette probably felt worse.
Jenny hadn't even called her "Mom" yet, and she was already about to marry.
After her marriage, Jenny would see her even less.
Lynette nodded. "I know, and I'm not sad. I should be happy that Jenny has found someone to grow old with. What a good thing that is."
"Yes. Even if Jenny marries him, she will still be in Bardoff City. It will be easy for us to see her." Graham knew what she was worried about.
"Graham, do you think Jenny novelxo will finally accept me as her mother?"
Lynette was not very confident. She was truly afraid that Jenny wouldn't accept her.
Graham hurriedly said, "She will definitely accept you. You are her mother. That is a fact. Besides, Jenny knows what happened back then novel.xo. She won't blame you for that. She just hasn't recovered from the shock. Just give her some time."
After he said that, Lynette relaxed. "Maybe you're right. I should give her some time."
As they spoke, footsteps sounded outside the door. They stopped talking and looked toward the door.
Jenny and Alec walked in, not knowing what had been discussed.
"Dad." Jenny looked at Graham. She did not call Lynette her mother. It just didn't feel right. Things weren't as awkward between them as before, so she could call her "Madam Bell." It felt weird, but Jenny honestly couldn't call her "Mom" yet.
"Mr. Walter. Madam Bell." Alec greeted them both. He believed that he would be calling them Mom and Dad soon.
They smiled at him. Lynette didn't mind novel.xo Jenny not greeting her. She understood Jenny's emotional conflict, and it was better than being called "
Madam Bell."
"Let's sit. There’s still some time to go before lunch. We’d like to use this time to talk with you," Graham said. His tone was making Alec anxious.
They sat. Graham and Lynette glanced novelxo at each other before speaking.
"So, we hear that Jenny accepted your proposal last night."
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1259-I Must Warn You Graham was straightforward. He didn't beat around the bush with Alec.
He’d brought those two over that day to talk about this.
"Yes, Mr. Walter," Alec admitted, novel.xo nodding. Everyone already knew about it.
"And since she has accepted your proposal, I suppose that you two are ready for marriage," Graham said, this time looking at Jenny.
Alec obviously wanted to marry, but Graham wasn't so sure if Jenny wanted to.
After all, she'd had a failed marriage before. He thought that she would take marriage more seriously.
Jenny was stunned. She looked at Alec,novelxo who was looking right back at her. She was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded determinedly. 'Yes. I'm ready to marry."
"Good." Graham heaved novel.xo a sigh of relief. Now he knew that Jenny was no longer concerned about her divorce. She had completely moved on.
Lynette was sporting a somber expression. She'd said nothing yet. "When are you planning to marry?*
She and Graham were planning to travel around the globe. But now that Jenny and Alec were planning to marry, they had to wait for them to marry before setting off.
That was for the best. They wouldn't have to worry about Jenny because someone would be looking after her.
"We haven't thought about it yet, Madam Bell. novelxo We only just got engaged yesterday. We haven't planned the wedding yet." Alec was speechless.
How could he think of so much in just one night?
Graham and Lynette understood that. They'd novel.xo called them over to talk about the wedding.
"Since you've decided to marry, you need to decide on a good date.
Lynette and I will go to consult a priest about this one day," Graham said with a smile. "As for the wedding, you can plan it yourself. You might not like what we like. We won't be interfering in that matter."
Jenny had no problem with what Graham said in the second half, but the first half caught her by surprise. 'Do you believe in those things?’ If it were up to her, she and Alec would just decide on a date that worked forthem. She wouldn't consult anyone else.
But Graham was insistent on this matter. "We might as well try to bring good luck to your marriage.*
"Fine. As you wish.* Jenny shrugged. She didn't mind, really. She just thought it was a hassle.
Alec didn't mind, either. He comforted Jenny. "Consulting someone might be good for us."
"I don't mind. You can do whatever you want. I'm busy with work and don't have time to worry about this." Jenny didn't mind, no.velxo and she wasn't planning on worrying about the wedding, either. Alec had said before that she could entrust it all to him, so she really wasn't going to worry about it.
Graham looked at Alec. ’Are you going to plan it solo, Alec? Can you handle it?
Lynette and I have been free lately. You may call us for help if the need ever arises."
"Thanks, Mr. Walter. Don't worry. I'll make the wedding spectacular. I won't make Jenny upset." Alec already had a plan in mind. However, a lot of them required custom designing and would require some time to complete.
Graham patted him on the shoulder. He was no longer biased against Alec.
"Alright. I trust you. However, I must warn you about something. no.velxo I only have one daughter, and that is Jenny. If you make her upset, I will never let you go. Not even if I'm buried and pushing daisies."
To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1260-Have You Really Thought It Through Graham was serious. Alec was just about to nod when Jenny said, "Dad, you're worrying too much. If he ever mistreats me, I'll punish him myself." She was never one to accept the crap that life threw at her.
She'd already divorced once. She wouldn't be afraid to do it again.
''Don't worry, Mr. Walter. I'll treat her well." Alec honestly didn't know how else he could be good to her. He was already willing to give her his entire heart.
Afterward, Graham and Alec talked about the rough concept of the wedding.
Jenny wasn't too interested in these things, so she went for a stroll.
It was summer, and flowers adorned Walter Castle. While Jenny admired them, footsteps sounded behind her. She didn't need to look back to know that it was Lynette.
"Jenny," Lynette said hesitantly.
Jenny looked back and smiled. "What's up?"
"Have you really thought this through? Marriage is something that has to be considered carefully." Lynette was worried that Jenny didn't know Alec enough.
She mostly heard about him through Graham, and she was still concerned.
Jenny smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I chose to marry, not to depend on him.
No matter what, we are our own people. Thus, no matter what happens in our marriage, I will not be affected."
Jenny didn't think marriage or divorce was worth being afraid of. As long as she was strong enough, the world would not be able to affect her.
Lynette was stunned to hear her say that. Then, she smiled. "Yes. You're much stronger than I am."
She couldn't do what Jenny was doing.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Until now, there was no bad blood between Jenny and Lynette. Although they weren't as close as a mother and daughter should be, they weren't estranged.

Jenny walked over awkwardly. "I'm late." "It's okay. You went to see your parents with Alec. I understand.’ Stephanie smiled slyly. "Well? Do your parents approve of that future husband of yours?
