To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) - Season 1 Episode 46

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.

He went home. Jenny took the smile off her face and went to the couch. She held up her phone, finding a few dozen unanswered calls from Zack.

She called him back. “Zack.”

“Are you alright? Why didn’t you pick up?” Zack’s voice was full of worry. “Gilbert and I almost got plane

tickets.”

“I’m fine. I was in the shower. I didn’t hear the phone ring,” she lied. She didn’t want them to worry when they were abroad.

“What is up with the stuff on the Internet?” Zack asked, He wasn’t in the country, but he was aware of the things happening online. Hence, he was worried.

Jenny reiterated everything that had happened. Afraid that they would worry, she said, “It’s all settled now. You don’t have to worry.”

*Karen White is simply inhumane. She wanted to harm you.” Zack’s tone had shifted. If Jenny were next to him, she would have seen a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Jenny’s eyes were cold. “She’s small fry. Now that she’s caught, there shouldn’t be much fuss. In fact, I was surprised by all the drama.”

To the outside world, she was a regular citizen. How could a regular citizen stay trending for so long?

Someone was pulling a few strings.

“Why don’t I investigate?” Zack asked.

Jenny shook her head and said, “It isn’t easy for you to do that abroad. I’ll do it myself.”

“Alright. Your hacking skills are better than mine, anyway.” Zack didn’t object. Sometimes he looked up to his sister very much. She was a fast learner and could master everything she tried. He couldn’t compare

to her.

They chatted for a bit before ending the call. Jenny flipped open the laptop next to her and typed on the keyboard. She stared intently at her screen, not letting go of anything suspicious.

At the same time, Alec had yet to sleep. He answered a call from Paul.

“There’s some pretty interesting news about Dr. Walter. You will never guess what it is,” Paul said.
