To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Are You Dissatisfied With Me in Any Way?

Alec’s expression fell when he heard that, and he gave her a disgruntled look. “You can be one of them.”

“I’m not rich enough to pay for you.” She shook her head as she tried to hold back laughter. Alec shut up after trying hard to squeeze a word of affection out of her. Sometimes, she could be more simple-minded than a man.

After breakfast, she went to work at the hospital. Alec had offered to take her there but was turned down. According to her, their relationship was not at that level yet. It was one thing to deliver breakfast every day. If he started sending her to and from work, others might gossip.

Alec protested at the injustice, “Why won’t you acknowledge me then?” As Jenny looked puzzled, he had to lay it out, “Just make me your boyfriend, and I’ll have a good reason to send you to work.”

Without hesitation, she shook her head, coughed, and replied gravely, “I don’t dislike you as much as before, but…I can’t make you my boyfriend.”

“Why? Are you disappointed with me in any way?” he prodded with a determination to get to the bottom of it. His question made her speechless, for he was a perfect man that any woman would feel lucky to call her own.

She begged to differ. Alec was remarkable, but she was a respectable self-made woman too. She wouldn’t prioritize him just because he was the CEO of Faust Group. Although they got along well, Alec didn’t feel like a boyfriend to her for some reason she couldn’t quite explain.

Jenny understood Stephanie’s sentiment but still didn’t feel like taking her relationship with Alec to the next level. “Well, I feel like something’s missing. Yes, I agree that he treats me very well, but I don’t really feel like dating him.”

“Oh, I guess you don’t love him then. You don’t have romantic feelings for him,” Stephanie analyzed and concluded. There would be a stark difference in one’s behavior, depending on whether one was in love or not. If Jenny was in love with him, she’d be rushing to go official with their relationship and announce it to the world. However, she must be ambivalent because she didn’t mind his advances but didn’t feel like getting into a relationship.

“Do I not love him?” Jenny struggled with the definition of love. She had had one relationship in her college years that ended with a whimper. She wasn’t in love with Alec, but her heart did flutter for him, especially…

She was reminded of his kiss, and her heart suddenly raced.
