To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1162

Jenny finally had free time after Jade and Max's wedding. Thankfully, the holiday was coming to an end as well, which meant she would be returning to work at the hospital, sparing her from the boredom of staying at home.

"Dr. Walter, are you back from the holiday?" When she got back to the department office, she was greeted by many. She nodded and responded to them. She much preferred the environment in the hospital. While there was competition sometimes, most staff were focused on their patients and didn't engage in workplace drama.

On the first day of her return, she had to meet a seemingly endless number of patients. The consultations went on until 7 pm. The sudden busyness tired her out, but she felt exhilarated at the same time.

"Are you done with work?" Alec showed up at the door when she wasn't looking. He was dressed in a grey coat and was leaning against the door frame. Looking at him from afar, he had a distant quality that would keep people away from him. Only Jenny knew that he was cold on the outside but passionate within.

She changed out of her white doctor's robe and walked up to him. "Yeah. Let's go. I'm hungry."

"Okay. Are you tired?" he asked with concern when they left the hospital.

She shook her head—the day's work wasn't too tiring for her. "I like how things are right now."

Soon, they left the hospital. McKenna and Derrick showed up from a corner, and she remarked, "Didn't I say that Jenny Walter would choose a man who's a match for her socially? Look, I was right."

"Yes, yes, babe, you were right." Derrick had no idea why she had to bring up the topic.

"So, have you totally given up on her?" she pressed on.

As for McKenna, he admitted that he first cozied up to her because she was the daughter of a hospital department director, but now…

He stared at the woman in his arms as his gaze softened. He had no idea who was the predator or the prey in this game of love between them anymore.

Once Alec brought Jenny back home, he immediately started prepping dinner in the kitchen. She followed suit and offered to help, adding, "You don't have to go through this fuss. We can dine out or get a private chef to help."

"No, it's no trouble at all. I like cooking dinner for you," he replied while washing the greens.

She was taken aback for a while before she chuckled, thinking, "This man is in flirting mode at any time."
