To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1126

As it was very early in the morning, there weren't many tourists at the Faire Tower. Only two or three people were around, and it was quite serene. Alec looked up at the iron tower in front of him and asked, "Can we go up?"

"We can. Do you want to go up?" Jenny thought Alec was just there to take a look, but she didn't expect him to have the intention of ascending the tower. Could he have really come here to travel as a tourist?

Alec nodded and looked at Jenny hopefully. "Since we're here, let's go up and take a look."

"Since we're here," was what all tourists would say.

Jenny had actually been there before. She'd come excitedly in her first year of studying abroad since it was a famous landmark many said one should visit at least once in a lifetime.

"Okay." She nodded and led Alec up the iron tower.

There was an elevator, and it was fast. In no time, they were standing on top of the tower. They could easily see the whole city in its splendor from their position.

"This city is still the same as before. Not much has changed," Jenny sighed. It was a huge contrast from Bardoff City. If she left for a few years, Bardoff City would definitely be different by the time she came back.

Alec nodded. "Yeah."

"Let's go down after we've had enough of the scenery here. Since you want to travel, there are many other places we should visit," Jenny said, turning around to leave.

Unexpectedly, Alec grabbed her wrist and stopped her from leaving. "What's the hurry? Let's look for a while longer."

Jenny wondered what else was there to see. Helpless, she had no choice but to continue to stand and look into the distance.

Before she realized it, Alec had moved behind her and gently called her name, "Jenny."

Jenny turned around and was astonished to see Alec kneeling on one knee, holding a ring in his hand. He said, "Be my girlfriend."

Although Jenny didn't say anything, the corners of her mouth that lifted up revealed her true thoughts. She was utterly delighted.

She returned the ring to Alec and instructed, "Here, put it on for me."

Alec was so overjoyed that he cried, and in his flustered state, he helped Jenny put on the ring. He was even shaking a little bit.

Jenny couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you so nervous? It's like you're eighteen."

"Hey, it's my first confession. It's natural to be nervous." Alec couldn't remember if they had ever confessed their love for each other before, but he felt certain that he'd never prepared as carefully as he did this time, and he'd never been as nervous as he was a moment ago.

Perhaps that was just how people were—they never realized how precious something was until they'd lost it. He looked at the person in his arms and silently vowed to never let go of Jenny again.
