To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Someone’s Pulling Strings

Someone knocked on the door again. Alec repeated his motions and opened the door, quickly taking another pack of food.

“Your stomach is weak. Have some soup instead.” He placed the food before Jenny.

Jenny nodded. “Fine. I’ll eat Max’s food tomorrow.”

Right as she said that, Alec sat opposite her and began devouring Max’s food.

Noticing her shocked face, Alec said, upset, “What? You owe me one. Can’t I at least have your food?”

Jenny couldn’t help laughing. She nodded. “Of course you can. You can eat whatever you want.”

She was merely surprised by his actions.

They sat eating, facing each other. The air around them instantly grew intimate.

Jenny didn’t think she would be eating together with Alec after their divorce, and it was takeout, nonetheless. That made it seem weirder.

They finally finished their food. Jenny looked at Alec. “Is there… anything else?”

She wanted to tell him to leave.

Alec saw through her thoughts. He indeed didn’t wish to stay any longer. He stood up and smoothed down his collar. “I’m going back.”

“Alright.” She nodded, eager to watch him leave.

Alec got to the door but suddenly stopped. “You…”

“What?” she asked.

“Nothing. I’ll say it some other time.” He wanted to know why Jenny hated him, but he couldn’t get the words out.
