Ch. 1311..1320

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1311-Let Me Explain At 8 pm, Jenny’s plane landed at Bardoff Airport. After exiting the airport, she hailed a taxi and headed straight home, wondering what Alec might be doing at this time. She figured that he was probably working.

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up in front of the villa. Jenny looked at the brightly lit living room and couldn't help but smile. She walked in, not noticing the changes around her as she was eager to see Alec.

Pushing open Alec's bedroom door, a woman emerged from the bathroom, rendering her stunned. Jenny stared at the woman, speechless. But soon, she recognized the woman.

"Quinn?" She wasn't entirely sure, but the woman in front of her bore a striking resemblance to the woman she had seen in the photos before.

Quinn didn't expect someone to suddenly appear in her room, but she quickly realized what was happening and grinned. "Jenny?"

"Why are you in my house?" Jenny questioned, her face falling.

She hadn't thought about Quinn for a long time, thinking she would never appear in her world. Never had she imagined that she would appear in her life in such a fashion!

Jenny felt furious, not only toward Quinn but also toward Alec. How could he?

How could he let another woman into their home and his bedroom?

Seeing Jenny's reaction, Quinn figured that Alec hadn't informed her in advance, and she found it amusing. "What do you think?"

Quinn's vague answer only angered Jenny more.

"Get out of here!" She pointed at the main door downstairs, not wanting to see her for another second longer.

Unfortunately, Quinn had no intention of leaving. She put on a pitiful expression and said, "Why? Alec let me live here."

"He gave you permission?" Jenny doubted whether she had misheard. How could Alec do such a thing?

Quinn nodded. "Of course. How else could I live here?" Without Alec's consent, Quinn wouldn't have been able to get past the door.

Trying to keep calm, she asked, "Where is Alec?"

"Alec? He's probably still busy. He's always busy, and you know that."

Quinn deliberately made it sound as if she were quite familiar with Alec, making Jenny feel as if she had been by Alec's side all these days.

Jenny was about to explode. She could hardly believe Alec would do such a thing behind her back. She might have never found out if she hadn't returned early. Perhaps Alec and Quinn had been in contact for a long time, and she just hadn't noticed.

She called Alec, gripping the phone so tightly her fingertips turned pale. The phone rang for a long time before someone answered. Alec, on the other end, was indeed busy. "Jenny? Is the conference over?"

"Alec! Where are you?" Jenny kept her anger in check, not allowing herself to lose control.

Even so, Alec could still sense Jenny's fury from the other end of the line.

However, he didn't understand why. "I'm at home," Alec said. Alas, he was at their new home, which he hadn't had a chance to tell Jenny about yet.

Home? When Jenny heard that word, she felt as if Alec was treating her like a fool. "Really? What a coincidence! I'm here too."

When Alec heard that, his mind glitched, but realization quickly dawned on him.

He immediately tried to explain, "Jenny, let me explain-' "Oh, you have a lot of explaining to do," Jenny cut him off and immediately hung up.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1312-Leave?

Ten minutes later, Alec's car pulled up at the villa. As he walked into the living room and saw two women sitting on opposite sides of the sofa, a migraine began to form in his head.

"Jenny, why did you come back today?" novelxo Alec approached Jenny cautiously, asking with concern. If he had known that Jenny was coming back today, he would have been waiting for her at the airport and taken her to their new house, avoiding this encounter with Quinn.

Having no clue of his plans, Jenny's face instantly darkened. "If I hadn't come back today, would I have discovered what you were doing behind my back?"

"Jenny, it's a misunderstanding. novelxo I wanted to give you a surprise…" Alec tried to explain.

"A surprise? It's quite surprising indeed." Jenny laughed coldly, glancing at Quinn.

Quinn ignored their conversation and played with her phone. "Miss Walter, you've misunderstood. Alec hasn't done anything to hurt you. Although he gave me this house to live in, he-’ "You shut up!" Alec yelled, feeling the urge to hit someone.

Quinn pursed her lips, but she didn't take Alec's scolding to heart.

Alec turned his gaze to Jenny. "Jenny, let's leave this place."

"Leave? Why should we leave?" Jenny couldn't believe it. Alec wanted her to leave!

Seeing that she had misunderstood him again, Alec quickly explained, "I moved our home to another place, so I let her live here. novel.xo It's not what you're thinking."

When Jenny frowned, Alec continued, "This house was originally bought for you to take care of Evan. It's not convenient for both of us to commute to work from here, and I wanted to move to a new house for a while. Since we're getting married, I've prepared a new house as a surprise for you when you return. I didn't expect…"

He hadn't expected Jenny to return so early, novel.xo catching him off guard.

With Alec's explanation, Jenny understood and believed him to some extent, but she still felt uneasy. "Even if we're moving out, this place shouldn't be given to her."

She knew the relationship between Quinn and Alec.

Before Alec could explain, Quinn said, novelxo "Miss Walter, rest assured, I have no intention of ruining your relationship with Alec. I had just arrived in Bardoff City and had nowhere to stay. Alec felt sorry for me, so he let me stay here. Don't worry, he loves you."

Although Quinn's remarks were casual, they made Jenny furious. Jenny wondered if she had asked for her opinion.

Alec led Jenny out of the villa, stuffed her into the passenger seat, and drove away quickly. On the way to their new home, Alec explained to Jenny about Quinn coming to see him, emphasizing, novelxo "Jenny, I have no feelings for her anymore."

"Who knows?" Jenny snorted coldly, looking out the car window. Although she believed Alec's explanation to some extent, she wondered if it made sense for him to go to such lengths for someone he had no feelings for.

"Jenny, please believe me. I allowed her to live there, thinking that we were moving out anyway and won't be staying there. I didn't have an ulterior motive."

He wouldn't have let Quinn stay here if he had had other motives.

Jenny snorted again. Alec wanted to cry. novelxo He finally realized that Jenny could get jealous too

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1313-Have Nothing to Do with Her The car quickly arrived at their new home, which had been newly renovated and adorned with decorations, giving off a newlywed vibe. When Jenny got out of the car and looked at the house in front of her, she started believing Alec more.

However, she was still unhappy.

As Alec led her into the house, she realized the interior design was identical to their previous home,n.ovëx.o ensuring that everything felt familiar.

"Jenny, look, I didn't lie to you," Alec said, looking sad.

Jenny looked around and then sat on the sofa,novëlxo lost in thought. Although she believed Alec, she still felt uneasy. ’Why did Quinn suddenly come to see you? Doesn't she know anyone else?"

"I…I don't think so." Alec didn't think much about it. He simply thought it wouldn't hurt to give her a place to stay.

"Are you sure she's telling you the truth and not trying to deceive you?" Jenny couldn't fully trust Quinn. According to Quinn, she came to Bardoff City to seek refuge with Alec because she wanted to force the man who had been following her to marry her. But what if that wasn't the case? What if she came for Alec?

Alec seemed to understand what she was thinking and immediately said,"

Jenny, trust me, you're the only one in my heart. No matter what Quinn's intentions are, I won't let her succeed."

Jenny sighed, realizing that although Alec was at fault in this situation, it wasn't as bad as she initially thought. Hence, she wasn't as angry anymore. "Well, it's best for you to keep your distance from her. Even if we do get married, divorce is not impossible.' She had finally made up her mind to marry Alec and truly didn't want any accidents or unpleasant surprises. If Alec did something that made her unhappy, she might not give him another chance.

Alec could tell that Jenny was serious, novelxo and he nodded earnestly. "Don't worry, I understand."

"Great, it's good that you do." Jenny didn't pursue the topic. "I want to take a shower. I'm tired."

"Okay, I'll take you there," Alec said, paying utmost attention to her, afraid that Jenny hadn't calmed down yet. He led Jenny into the master bedroom and watched her enter the bathroom before he heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like she wasn't angry anymore.

It was just his bad luck. He hadn't expected Jenny to come back early. He had tried to surprise her, but he never thought that she would also try to surprise him. It almost backfired.

After showering and coming out of the bathroom, Jenny found that Alec wasn't in the bedroom. novelxo She looked at the wedding decorations that adorned the bed, wondering if it was necessary as their wedding day had yet to arrive.

Nonetheless, she had no energy to do anything about it, so she lay down to rest.

An hour later, Alec knocked on the bedroom door. "Jenny, had enough rest?

Let's go downstairs for dinner."

"Okay," Jenny replied groggily. novelxo She hadn't fallen asleep; she had just dozed off for a while.

They went downstairs to the dining room, where Alec had prepared a meal.

Apart from the wedding portraits, the place was not much different from their previous villa.

"What are you going to do about Quinn?" Jenny brought up Quinn again during their meal.

Alec's hand paused as he was about to pick up food, seemingly not understanding why she was asking that. ’What do you mean? I have nothing to do with her."

"She came to you for help, right? Are you going to help her?" Jenny didn't understand Quinn's thoughts. She came to Alec for help, claiming she wanted to force the man who had been following her to marry her. What was that all about? Did she want to make that man jealous?

Jenny couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to dwell on it

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1314-Take Responsibility for Me Alec thought that her question was absolutely unnecessary. Besides, he never intended to help Quinn. "Why should I help her? I'm already being kind enough to her by giving her a place to stay.' If he'd known that he would very nearly get into an argument with Jenny because of this, he wouldn't have let her stay there at all.

"Hey, all things considered, she was still your first love.' Jenny couldn't help but tease Alec, smiling as she looked at him.

Alec was speechless upon hearing her words and quickly explained, "She and I never got together! How can she be considered my first love? If I think about this whole first love thing carefully, you're my first love! You have to take responsibility for me."

"How am I supposed to take responsibility for you? You're my first love, too, “ Jenny defended herself.

' Really? But didn't you like Evan before you liked me?" Alec purposely mentioned Evan again in hopes of making Jenny understand what kind of relationship he and Quinn had.

Upon hearing him saying that, Jenny fell silent, as Alec had expected.

"Alright, Quinn was just his crush back when he was still young and didn't know better," Jenny concluded inwardly.

"Hear me out, Jenny. I just thought she was pitiful, so I gave her a place to stay.

If you don't like that, I'll get her to move out tomorrow.’ In Alec's opinion, it was just a villa that was sitting around and not utilized.

However, if Jenny was unhappy and unwilling to let Quinn stay, he wouldn't go against her wishes.

The moment he said that, Jenny hurriedly waved her hand to show that there was no need to go to that extent. "No, you don't have to do that. I'm not that petty. It's not like we don't have one ourselves.” ’Right? That's what I thought, too," Alec agreed with a smile. He knew that Jenny wasn't really concerned about material things. She only cared about whether he still had feelings for Quinn.

Fortunately for Jenny, he didn't have any feelings for this "first love" of his at all.

The two of them didn't dwell on the issue regarding Quinn any longer. For the rest of the night, they chatted casually. Alec asked Jenny why she returned ahead of schedule, and she told him about her overseas conference. And so, that night passed just like that.

They had a calm and peaceful night, but Quinn tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter how hard she tried.

She'd never intended to cause a conflict between Jenny and Alec. In fact, she'd deliberately said those ambiguous words as a joke. Now, she lay in bed wide awake because of the intense feelings of guilt that she felt.

Quinn heaved a sigh as she turned in bed once more. "Damn it. I'd better go clear the air with her tomorrow."

This time around, she'd come to find Alec for a reason. Her real intention was to provoke that man, not because she was hoping for something to ignite between her and Alec. However, looking at how things had progressed so far, she guessed that her efforts were probably futile.

"Well, I should stop holding out for him. If he doesn't come to find me and doesn't take any action, I guess it's better we part ways like this. I'll just take it that I'm cutting losses," Quinn reasoned internally.

That night, she thought about many things. After she made the decision to explain everything to Jenny tomorrow, she no longer felt burdened and quickly drifted off to dreamland.

The next day, Jenny went to the hospital to work as usual. When Quinn came to find her, she'd just seen a patient. Jenny was surprised and a little displeased at her unexpected appearance.

"Could she be here to provoke me?" Jenny wondered. Silently, Jenny decided that if she truly did that, she would make her leave using any means possible.

She wouldn't allow Quinn to stir up trouble on her turf.

"What's the matter, Miss Blue?" Jenny asked bluntly.

Quinn could sense Jenny's animosity toward her; nevertheless, she brushed it off and didn't mind it.

"I came here to explain that nothing is going on between Alec and me. He just gave me a place to stay because he felt sorry for me. All those things I said yesterday were just to poke fun at you both-l wanted to see your reactions. But it seems like you two are way more loving toward each other than I thought. I envy you guys."

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1315-You Can Leave Now After listening to Quinn's explanation, the first thought that came to Jenny's mind was, "How ridiculous! How could she think this was fun in any way? She's so ridiculous! Was it fun for her to see me and Alec argue because of her?"

Jenny's expression became glum. Quinn noticed right away, so she hurriedly continued, "I really don't have any bad intentions. That's why I came to explain to you immediately today. I don't wish for any misunderstandings between you and Alec because of me."

"You're overthinking it. Something so trivial won't cause any misunderstandings between us," Jenny replied humorlessly.

Hearing that, Quinn breathed a sigh of relief. "Really? That's great. I'm so relieved."

"Well, now that you're done explaining, you can leave now." There was nothing more for them to talk about. Quinn's presence there would only delay Jenny from attending to her patients.

With that, Quinn nodded. She got up and made to leave.

She'd barely taken two steps before Jenny spoke up. "Though I don't understand your logic, I have some advice for you. If you want a man to marry you, tell him your feelings. If he knows how you feel and remains indifferent, then you should contemplate whether this man reciprocates your feelings or not."

Jenny didn't want Quinn to continue seeking help from Alec for her private matters, so she gave Quinn some words of advice.

Quinn paused, understanding what Jenny meant. "I know. I just couldn't swallow my pride."

She was waiting for that man to give in, believing that he would make his move and come for her once he saw she had another man by her side. Unfortunately, it seemed everything was just her naive and wishful thinking. Even until now, that person hadn't contacted her at all.

’When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no need for pride. If you really like him, you shouldn't give up so easily,’ Jenny advised kindly.

Quinn didn't argue with Jenny on that. Perhaps she found that Jenny's words did make sense. After giving it some thought, she said, "You're right. I'll go find him." She should communicate her feelings with him directly. No matter what the outcome, she had to accept reality.

At long last, Quinn left the hospital, and Jenny didn't think much about her after that. As long as Quinn didn't bother or interfere with her and Alec, Jenny didn't care what she was up to.

For some time after the incident with Quinn, Jenny and Alec enjoyed a relatively peaceful life. This was probably the last of their unmarried yet not quite single life together before they officially got married.

On the eve of the wedding, Jenny returned to Walter Castle. Tomorrow, she would be departing from here to get married.

Due to the joyous occasion, Walter Castle was adorned with wedding decorations. Lynette and Graham had beaming smiles on their faces mixed with a hint of longing and slight reluctance. Their only daughter was about to be married, and they were a little saddened to see her leave home though they were very happy for her at the same time.

"Jenny." Lynette took Jenny's hand. She then removed a bracelet she'd been wearing all the while and put the bracelet on Jenny's wrist. ’I've worn this bracelet for decades. It's not exactly valuable, but having it accompany you gives me some peace of mind."

In fact, Lynette and Graham had prepared lots of wedding gifts for Jenny, but those were mere material possessions that didn't carry any special meaning to Lynette. They couldn't compare to the sentimental value of the bracelet she'd worn on her wrist for such a long time.

Jenny looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said with a sigh, "This is such a precious item. You should keep it for yourself. There's no need to give it to me."

"No matter how precious this bracelet is, it's far less valuable than you, Jenny."

Indeed, nothing could compare to her daughter's worth.

During this period, Lynette visited Jenny almost daily. When Jenny was working at the hospital, Lynette would bring her meals. Her warm gestures immensely touched Jenny.

She realized that back then, Lynette didn't have a choice; it wasn't that she voluntarily chose to leave her. If she had the opportunity to stay, she would have been an excellent mother.

Thus, Jenny accepted Lynette's goodwill. She looked at Lynette and said, Thank you, Mom."

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1316-The Wedding Upon hearing that, Lynette was stunned, and her eyes reddened with tears of joy. "W-what did you call me?"

Jenny smiled and said the word once more, "Mom."

’Oh!' Lynette was so happy that she was almost jumping with joy. She got up and went upstairs to find Graham while excitedly exclaiming, "Graham, did you hear that? Jenny called me Mom! She called me Mom!"

"I know. I heard it too," Graham replied, embracing his beloved in his arms. He knew she'd been waiting for this day for a long time.

Lynette started crying.

Jenny watched them from downstairs with a faint smile on her lips. She thought, "I guess this is the best ending for us.’ She then went back to her room and received a call from Alec. "Jenny, I feel so freaking excited right now."

’What are you all excited about?" Jenny was puzzled. She wasn't all pumped up like Alec. On the contrary, she was quite calm. To her, although she and Alec weren't officially married yet, they'd been living together all the while like a married couple. In reality, it didn't make much difference to her other than having an additional ceremony to make their union official.

"After tomorrow, you'll be my wife! Not just a girlfriend or a fiancee, but my wife!"

He'd been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Jenny listened, still not finding anything particularly exciting about the whole thing. "Calm down, Alec. You're so excited now, but who knows if you'll still be this excited in the future?"

Feelings tended to fade over time, after all. That was the norm.

"That won't be the case for me! Being able to marry you is novelxo enough to keep me excited for a lifetime!' Alec exclaimed earnestly.

Jenny pursed her lips and teased him for being such a sweet talker, but deep down, she was actually over the moon. Although she wasn't overly excited like Alec, she was still overjoyed.

"We'll definitely be happy together for a lifetime," Alec said. Right then, he was still at the wedding venue, stomping out all possibilities of anything unexpected that might occur tomorrow.

Jenny replied with a simple novelxo "Yeah" and didn't say anything else before hanging up. As she lay on the bed, she tossed and turned but was unable to fall asleep. With a wry smile, she realized she wasn't as calm as she had imagined.

The next day, the stylist and makeup artist started dressing Jenny up early in the morning. Jenny wore a lightweight red gown that Alec had chosen for the daytime. She looked exceptionally beautiful after putting it on.

Just as her makeup was done, Alec arrived with his entourage to pick her up.

Walter Castle bustled with excitement. The bridesmaids made a show of blocking the entrance, but Alec quickly led his entourage upstairs to the bedroom, where Jenny was sitting on the bed, smiling and watching everything unfold.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Faust. novëlxo The bride isn't wearing any shoes! Your first challenge is to find her shoes." Stephanie stepped forward to stop Alec, who was about to carry Jenny away. She wouldn’t let him take her away so easily.

Alec didn't refuse and began to search for Jenny's high heels with his best man in the room. Stephanie and the bridesmaids didn't intentionally make it difficult for Alec, so they quickly found the shoes. But it didn't end there.

Stephanie had prepared a second challenge for Alec.

' Mr. Faust, please say 'I love you' to Jenny in eight different languages."

"Woah!" Everyone watching cheered along.

Faced with the cheering crowd, Jenny felt a little embarrassed, so her cheeks flushed slightly.

On the other hand, Alec remained unruffled. He looked at Jenny and steadily proclaimed, n.ovëx.o "Jenny, I love you!"

Then, he continued to say "I love you" in seven foreign languages in one go.

As the words fell, everyone applauded, and Alec successfully carried Jenny away in his arms. He carried Jenny step by step out of Walter Castle. The bridesmaid and groomsmen threw confetti over the happy couple as they made their way out, and the crowd cheered vigorously. Lynette and Graham looked at Jenny and Alec's receding figures from behind, silently wiping away the tears at the corners of their eyes.

"This is great! Our daughter is married now. After this, we can live the life that we've always yearned for in peace," Graham said with a mixture of emotions.

They'd planned to go on a global trip but still had yet to get to it. After Jenny's wedding, n.ovëx.o they could finally begin with their first destination.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1317-You Must Be Dreaming At the wedding banquet hall, Jenny was changing into her wedding gown in the private room upstairs, while the emcee downstairs welcomed all the guests. Old Mr. Faust was also there greeting everyone, and even Zeke showed up at the scene.

Alec was now a member of the Faust family, so it was only natural for the former head of the family to be present at his wedding, regardless of the circumstances. If Zeke declined to show up during such an important occasion, outsiders might think there was discord within the Faust family.

It had been many years since the two brothers had seen each other. Now, they no longer had the same tenacity and vigor as before. After exchanging a simple smile, they each went to greet the people they knew.

The wedding started soon. With the emcee's announcement, the doors opened.

Jenny walked gracefully down the aisle, holding Graham's arm. She made her way step by step toward Alec. Meanwhile, Alec didn't stand still in his spot. He walked steadily toward his bride and finally took her from Graham's hands.

"Alec, you better see to it that Jenny is well taken care of. If not, her mother and I won't let you off easily," Graham warned.

Alec nodded and solemnly said, ’Rest assured, Graham. With me around. I'll make sure no one dares to bully Jenny."

Not even he was allowed to do that.

The ceremony began. Alec had planned everything, and it was undeniably touching. Jenny almost burst out in tears from feeling touched several times.

In the audience, there were many others whose eyes watered emotionally, just like hers. Stephanie was happy for Jenny, but she noticed another person sitting in a corner with teary eyes-Jolene.

Right now, she was still living in James' villa. Jenny's wedding was exactly what she'd once yearned for. Sadly, James would never hold such a wedding for her.

Sensing her tearing up beside him, James glanced at her and asked," What's the matter? Are you feeling jealous and hate Jenny for having the perfect wedding?"

"No, I'm just a little envious." Jolene wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, speaking the truth. She meant what she said. Jenny had the person who loved her by her side. Not only that, their parents watched over her and gave her their sincerest blessings.

But what about her? In the end, she was left with nothing.

"It'd better be as you said. If you dare to think or do anything to harm Jenny, I won't spare you," James warned her.

Jolene’s back stiffened upon hearing his threat. She bit her lip and couldn't help but ask, "James, what am I to you?"

Previously, she chose to stay because of her mother's words. She thought that James would one day fall for her. That was why she didn't leave.

However, despite staying with him for so long, she still hadn't won him over or gained his affection.

More than once, she thought it would have been better if she'd left with her mother back then. That way, even if she couldn't have James' love, she would still have her freedom at least.

But now?

She had nothing; all she had was an unspoken identity that was in no way legitimate.

"What are you to me? What do you think you are?’ James sneered. Even when he saw that Jolene was evidently hurt, he didn't relent in his choice of words.

After all, she was the one who climbed into his bed in the first place. Later on, she made the decision to stay. James felt that he was blameless under any circumstance.

"Do you really have no feelings for me at all? We were together for-"

"What a joke! Do you think I would develop feelings for a calculating woman like you? You must be dreaming," James cut her off.

"If you have no feelings for me, why didn't you get married? Why did you let me stay in your villa?" By now, the whole of Bardoff City was aware of Jolene still living in James' villa. No decent girl would be willing to marry James, knowing he had a woman living with him.

Her words caused James to frown; he was evidently displeased. "Do I need to inform you why I'm not getting married to anyone else? Mind your own business.

It's not in your place to worry about anything else."

He was genuinely irritated, and Jolene could tell. But she couldn't fathom the reason behind his sudden anger.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1318-Urging Me Already?

At the same time, Melanie also looked at Alec and Jenny, who were on the stage, enviously. "I really hope my wedding will be grand like theirs in the future." As she said that, she couldn't help but sneakily glance at Paul sitting next to her.

Unfortunately, Paul didn't pay her any attention. Instead, he looked toward the other side as if naturally drawn to something over there. Melanie followed his gaze, and as she expected, she saw Stephanie.

Bitterness enveloped her heart in an instant. Although she and Paul had publicly announced their relationship, Paul didn’t consider her his girlfriend at all. He only took her out when he needed to put up a front. Melanie felt hurt but didn't dare to speak up for herself. She was afraid she wouldn’t even be able to hold on to her fake relationship with Paul in the end.

"No matter what, I'm still his girlfriend now, right?" she comforted herself inwardly.

She'd heard that Stephanie and Leonard would start preparing fortheir wedding after Jenny's. Once they got married, Paul wouldn't keep holding on to any hope of rekindling his relationship with Stephanie. By then, it would be Melanie's chance to step in and perhaps claim his heart.

Paul had no idea what she was thinking. If he did, he would probably mock her for her unrealistic thoughts. He didn't have any feelings for Melanie. Regardless of whether Stephanie got married or not, he would not develop any feelings for her whatsoever.

The wedding ceremony ended quickly, and then came the toasting session. Alec went table by table, toasting merrily with Jenny by his side. Jenny didn't drink much; it was mostly Alec downing the alcohol. He didn't mind it one bit because he was genuinely exhilarated.

After the toasting, Jenny returned to the resting room, and Stephanie followed.

’Jenny, I can see that Alec has put a lot of effort into this wedding."

"I know, right? He handled almost everything, so I hardly had to worry about anything," Jenny agreed contentedly.

"Well, I'm not sure what to do for my wedding after seeing yours. We definitely won't be able to match yours in terms of grandeur, so we'll have to think of something unique instead." Stephanie sighed, feeling a bit troubled.

Jenny laughed in response. "Are you trying to compete with me?"

"No, it's not that. Leonard and I are ordinary people, so there’s no need for us to have such a grand wedding like yours." Many people attended Jenny's wedding that day. Besides Alec and Jenny's friends, a majority of the people present were business acquaintances. The guest list for Stephanie and Leonard s wedding wouldn't include these people. Hence, their wedding shouldn't be as large in scale; it could be a more intimate affair.

Jenny listened to her woe like a true friend would, but she had no useful suggestions for Stephanie. "You figure it out yourself. I don't have any good advice for you concerning wedding arrangements."

"You're super fortunate, Jenny," she said with a sigh. She wished to be carefree like Jenny, but when she thought about Leonard…

If she didn't take the helm, Leonard probably wouldn't know how to make such arrangements either. Moreover, he was busier than her. She could foresee that the wedding preparations would probably become her responsibility.

"Now that you and Alec are married, when do you plan to have children?"

Stephanie asked an astute question, catching Jenny completely off guard. She was so surprised that she paused in motion halfway through removing her makeup.

She turned to look at Stephanie disbelievingly. "Seriously? Are you urging me to have kids already?"

"To be fair, I thought we could discuss it later. We could get pregnant together. If we happen to give birth to a boy and a girl, they can become childhood sweethearts. If they're both the same gender, they can become best friends too.

Wouldn't that be great?" Stephanie couldn't help but fantasize about that. It seemed like a wonderful scenario to her.

Jenny laughed reflexively but refused Stephanie's proposal outrightly." Sure. But well have to see how it goes. I'm not in a hurry to have a child, anyway."

She was still young, after all. She felt she would be tied down and lose her freedom if she had children now

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1319-You Must Be on Cloud Nine After the wedding ended, Jenny and Alec saw everyone off and thanked them for being there on their big day. After that was done, they instructed their driver to take them back.

Alec was so exhausted in the car that he slumped heavily against Jenny's shoulder. Nevertheless, there was still a smile on his lips as he suddenly said, "Wifey."

Jenny was taken aback for a moment when he addressed her like that.

"My wife," Alec spoke up again, opening his eyes and looking intently at Jenny beside him. "I love you."

Jenny was someone who didn't handle romantic gestures well. When Alec said he loved her, it didn't evoke the warm, mushy feeling that it should. On the contrary, it made her hair stand on end, and she even had goosebumps.

"You're drunk. Go back and get some rest," Jenny replied, allowing Alec to continue leaning on her to rest.

But resting wasn't exactly at the forefront of his list of priorities right now.

Holding Jenny's hand fondly, he said, "Tonight is our wedding night. How can I rest?"

Jenny was a little speechless at this.

"It's not that big of a deal, is it? It's not like this is our first day living together." In fact, they'd been cohabiting for a long time, novel.xo and they'd already stayed countless nights in their wedding suite. For Jenny, the only difference that day was that they held a wedding ceremony. Besides that, there wasn't much difference from before.

Not caring how she put it, Alec insisted on his desire. Not long after that, the car pulled up in front of their villa, and Jenny supported Alec as they made their way to their room.

As soon as they stepped into the bedroom, Alec took control in a flash and lifted Jenny off the ground into his arms. "It's getting late, Jenny. We should get some rest."

Blushing intensely, Jenny let out a little yelp of surprise and scolded," You're incorrigible."

"I'm your husband. If I were still all proper and unfazed in this situation, then something is not right." Without wasting a minute, Alec carried Jenny to bed.

Moonlight streamed through the windows into the room, casting the shadow of the newlyweds' intertwined and entangled bodies on the floor; it was both magical and intoxicating. The passion and romance in the room went on until the early hours of the morning.

The next day, Jenny woke up early in the morning. n.ove.lx.o They'd made plans to celebrate their marriage with their close friends that day.

Just as she tried to get up from the bed, pain and soreness coursed through her whole body, rendering it impossible for her to get up. Irritably, she glanced at the person lying next to her.

"It's so early. Let’s sleep a while more." n.ove.lx.oAlec reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

"No way. Steph and the others will arrive soon.' Jenny pushed him away. It was evident she wasn't going to continue lazing in bed.

Upon hearing her words, Alec remembered that he'd invited Paul and the others to come over. Their friends hadn't been to their marital home yet, so Alec intended to show everyone around their new place as a form of celebration.

Therefore, even though he and Jenny were reluctant to leave the warm confines of their bed, they somehow got up with determination.

Jenny instructed the household staff and chefs to start preparing lunch.

Because many people were coming, Jenny and Alec settled on having a barbeque so everyone could join in on the fun. On top of that, it wouldn't be so boring.

Around 11 am, the first person to arrive wasn't Stephanie or Paul but Old Mr.

Faust. He didn't return to the house with Alec and Jenny the previous night.

Instead, he stayed at the hotel where they had their wedding. He didn't want to be in the young couple's way on novel.xo their first night as husband and wife.

"Grandpa," Jenny greeted, feeling a little bashful upon seeing the old man.

Old Mr. Faust cleared his throat and pretended not to notice Jenny’s apparent embarrassment. "Where is Alec? Why are you the only one busying yourself here?"

"He’s upstairs,' Jenny answered.

As they were talking, novel.xo Alec came downstairs and greeted his grandfather.

Just a while later, Stephanie and their friends arrived. There was Paul and Melanie, Jade and Max, and several others they considered close friends. The villa suddenly became lively. With everyone helping and doing their part, the food was ready quickly.

"You must be very pleased right now, Alec," Max teased as he approached Alec playfully. After all, Alec finally got to marry Jenny. He could imagine Alec being on cloud nine at that moment.

To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 1320-u asking me this? Don't tell me you and Jenny plan to have children already?"

"Isn't it too early forthat?" Max thought.

"We haven't made any plans yet. That's why I'm asking you," Alec replied. He couldn't get a grasp of when would be the perfect time to have children, so he decided to gather some information from others.

Max pondered what Alec said seriously for a moment and finally answered, 'Well, Jade and I aren't in a hurry to have children at the moment. Having a child would spell the end of our perfect little world where there's only the two of us."

Truth be told, he hoped to enjoy a few more years with Jade alone-just the two of them. Having children wasn't that important to him, as he wasn't that fond of children to begin with.

Hearing Max's reply, Alec realized having a child would definitely disrupt the private time they had with each other. As a result of that, he dismissed the idea immediately. Initially, he'd considered having a child while Old Mr. Faust was still around because that would make his grandfather very happy. However, after the short chat with Max, he didn't think that way anymore.

If they had a child, Jenny's focus would undoubtedly shift her attention to caring for their baby. By that time, she wouldn't have enough energy to tend to Alec.

"You're right. We're not in a hurry to have children either," Alec expressed with one final nod. After that, they didn't dwell on the topic.

On the other side, Jenny, Stephanie, and Jade sat together. Melanie had been sitting with Paul, yet he ignored her completely and treated her like she was air.

Hence, after giving it some thought, she reluctantly came over to Jenny's side.

"Jenny, after a long conversation with Leonard last night, we decided to have our wedding on a beautiful island," Stephanie announced.

Finding their choice interesting, Jenny chirped, "That's wonderful! Now that's going to be a unique wedding. I'm sure your wedding will be totally unforgettable."

"Don't forget to invite me by then," Jade said. She'd never attended a wedding on an island before.

Stephanie nodded, and as she was about to reassure Jade it wouldn't be a problem, Melanie requested meekly, "Count me in. I would like to attend your wedding too." As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone turned to look at her. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she continued, "I just want to witness your happiness, Stephanie."

Of course, her main intention was to bring Paul along so that he could witness Stephanie and Leonard’s wedding firsthand. Melanie was hoping that he wouldn't keep fantasizing about getting back together with Stephanie after that.

"You're welcome to join my wedding, of course," Stephanie replied.

Although they weren't close to Melanie, she didn't dislike her. In addition, she knew that Melanie was having a tough time connecting with Paul emotionally, so she wanted to help her.

While the women were chatting, Gilbert finished his drink and got up to join Paul.

Paul frowned as he saw Gilbert sitting next to him. "Do you need something?"

Personally, Paul thought that they had no common topics to talk about. Even though Marigold had accepted Gilbert's money and didn't plan to hold him responsible for their child, that didn't mean Paul would let it go as she did.

“Have you seen Marigold recently?" Gilbert asked.

Paul laughed in response upon hearing that. "Be honest with me, Gilbert. What do you really want to say? Why are you suddenly showing concern for Marigold? What are you up to?' “You're reading too much into it. I'm just reminding you to visit her. She didn't seem to be doing well when I happened to run into her the other day, " Gilbert said, sipping his beer. He wasn't someone who enjoyed meddling with other people's affairs
