To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 582

Chapter 582 You Really Think You're Better?

Paul's tone oozed with confidence, believing Stephanie wanted to stay of her own volition and only left because of Jenny's meddling.

Jenny didn't share the same thought. "Steph, do you still want to stay with him?" she asked.

If the answer was yes, she'd leave the two alone right away.

Stephanie glanced at Jenny, then at Paul, and sighed, "No."

Jenny smiled while Paul flew into a fit of rage. "Think twice before you answer that question, Stephanie Walker!"

Why wouldn't she want to stay? Hadn't they had such a good time together? He had thought she'd given up entirely on leaving him.

"I have Paul. Countless times. I don't want to stay anymore, Paul. I'm a person, not an object. I know what I want." As much as she liked Paul, she wasn't going to stay with him, not when he treated her that way.

Paul's hands clenched into fists. "Alright...al-fucking-right then!"

"Well? Steph doesn't want to stay. So, are you going to let us go or force us to stay?" Jenny sneered. She had already guessed the answer.

"You're not leaving unless I say so, Stephanie Walker." She was going to stay whether she liked it or not!

Paul was an extremely stubborn man. It was tolerable with Stephanie acquiescing, but way worse if she didn't.

Alec sighed and went up to his friend. "Don't do this, Paul. If you truly like her, then cherish her as a person. You'll only push her away if you force her against her will."

"Shut the hell up!" Paul roared. "I'll do whatever I want, and you have no right to say otherwise!"

Alec was already tough to defeat; now, with Graham's men in the picture, there was no way he would walk out victorious.

"Of course," Jenny grinned, taking it as a compliment.

Stephanie was unhappy with the current stalemate. "I don't want to be at odds with you like this, Paul," she said. "But I just hate the way you treat me. That's why I hope you can use this chance to learn how to respect someone else, respect your partner."

Paul only sneered, "What's with all the sagely advice, hm? Do you really think you're better than me? I really thought you liked me, with how you act

like you're in love and devoted to me. Turns out you've been hiding your true colors all this time."

His heart ached like never before, burning with sadness, despair, and rage. Stephanie's decision to leave that day made him realize how much of a liar she was. She had never wanted to be with him from the start.
