To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538 Let's Not Talk About Romance

Alec nodded, looking calmer than Jenny. Carefree as always, he'd only take on the problem when it surfaced. He believed that there would always be a solution to any problem.

He led her to the sofa, sat her down, and handed her the ointment. "You should at least finish what you started."

She didn't object to that and continued applying the ointment to his body. The living room fell into silence when they stopped talking.

Soon, she was done and ready to leave. "Have a good rest. It's best if you could rest at home for a few days."

"Are you leaving?" he asked.

She nodded. "It's late. I need to get home." She knew Graham didn't like that she was in touch with Alec, and she worried she might fuel Graham's dislike of Alec if she got home late.

"Jenny," Alec called out, his deep gaze fixated on her face. "The truth is, you still care about me. Don't you?" As expected, she was silent. He added, "I'm not strong enough yet. Can you wait for me?"

"Wait for you?" She was puzzled by his words.

"Wait for me until I have built my strength. Right now, I'm not qualified to be with you." He flashed a bitter smile at her. As much as he'd love to date Jenny right now, he understood that it was a difficult ask. Therefore, he hoped that she could give him some time.

She chuckled at his remark, looking a little disheartened. "Alec, you've known me long enough. Is that what you think of me?"

She wasn't the type of woman who'd care about his qualifications.

"Sure," Alec agreed with her decision. He wouldn't easily give up as long as there was a chance. She smiled, satisfied at their agreement to pursue their goals and meet at the peak of their success.

"So.J'll go home now?" She pointed at the door as she prepared to leave. He didn't want her to leave, but he didn't stop her after she had made her intentions clear.

"If Jolene Walter pulls tricks on you again, let me know, and I will teach her a lesson for you," he added.

She shook her head at him. "You'd better not show up in front of her for now. She's vindictive. Since she can't lay a finger on me, she'll only vent her anger on you. She'll give you trouble for the time being."

After a few setbacks, Jolene had gotten a better idea of who she should hire to deal with Alec. As the daughter of the Walter family, she could easily pay some men to do so. Alec was in danger, as Jolene might hire someone to assault him at any time.
