To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318 Not Everyone Likes Roses

Jenny put the earrings on, and Alec heaved a long sigh. “Well, hello there, girlfriend of mine.”

Jenny smiled as an unspoken happiness welled up in her chest.

The crowd surrounding them couldn’t help teasing them. “Stop it, you two. We’re all single.”

“That’s right. Let’s eat,” Stephanie chimed in. A bright smile hung off her lips. One could tell that she truly was happy for Jenny.

Alec and Jenny looked at each other, smiling.

Soon, the staff served them their food. They sat around the table, talking merrily. The dining hall was a harmonious place that night. But of course, there was just that one person who wasn’t as happy as the rest.

Paul Wagner looked at Stephane, who was sitting next to Jenny. She hadn’t said a single word to him or even looked at him. An indescribable fire was burning in his stomach. He had no appetite, even with the delicious food laid out before him.

After dinner, they went out to the garden to enjoy the fireworks display. Alec had prepared a long itinerary for the night.

“If it were me, I’d think all this is cheesy.” Max offered his opinion.

Jade merely glanced at him. “Alec might be cheesy, but at least he’s considerate. Max, on the other hand…with so many women around him, he hadn’t been sincere to even one,” she thought, keeping her opinion to herself. She could never say it out loud because she couldn’t afford to offend Max. Besides, it didn’t matter if Max was considerate of her.

Jenny stood at the front. She didn’t think the fireworks were cheesy at all. She knew that the fireworks were only meant for her to see.

Jenny could see the love behind his eyes and felt touched. Things blurred together, and they leaned closer, drawing nearer to each other. Just before their lips touched, there was a roar. Jenny looked over; she heard Stephanie’s voice.

“Are you crazy, Paul? I’ve stopped liking you for a long time now,” Stephanie yelled. She was furious.

Jenny frowned. “I’m going to watch this.”

“Alright.” Alec nodded and followed her, feeling a little regretful about their moment before. They only needed one more second.

When Jenny arrived, Stephanie was wiping her lips furiously. Based on her repulsion, Jenny could roughly piece together what had happened. She looked at Paul. If he weren’t Alec’s friend, she would have smacked him.

“Do you know what this is, Paul? It’s sexual harassment,” she said, her gaze frosty.
