To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1051 Watch After Him

Of course, Paul didn't.

But right now, the distance between him and Stephanie was already unbearably far. It felt like there was nothing he could do to win her back.

"I still have a chance with Leonard out of the picture. Right now, I'm basically nothing to her!" Paul insisted, having been incredibly jealous and angry ever since Leonard put his hands on Stephanie. Alec shook his head. "Do you really think so? Don't you know just how determined Stephanie can be?"

He could guess based on how Jenny was like. If Paul actually killed Leonard, not only would he lose all his chances, Stephanie might hate him for life.

Paul seemed to understand that as well. He clutched his head, panicked. "What do I do then? Fucking tell me what to do, Alec? I can't just watch them get closer to each other!" He really couldn't handle it.

"Do you want to hear my honest opinion, Paul?" Alec said, sad for his distressed friend.

"No. Hell no. She still loves me. I know she does. She's just angry at me for what happened before. I'll make her forgive me!" Paul cried.

Alec sighed. He wouldn't push it, then.

"Be strong then, my friend." He patted Paul's shoulder and then went downstairs to give the man some space.

Jenny was grilling some wings with Stephanie and the others when she spotted Alec. She hurriedly went over. "Well? How'd it go? He's not going to do it, is he?"

Jenny couldn't help but imagine the worst when Paul stormed away from dinner, only to summon Alec to the study.

Alec rubbed his temples. "Not for the time being, no."

"So he really was considering it?" Jenny instantly picked up what Alec was implying.

"Why do you have to be so sharp?" Alec huffed, shaking his head.

"Tell him I'm warning him if he comes for Leonard, I will not hesitate to cut him down." Leonard wasn't his friend, but since he might be Stephanie's next partner, Jenny wasn't going to allow him to get hurt. Alec sighed. "Don't worry. I'll watch after him."

He knew Jenny meant it, so he could only do his best to convince Paul not to be so rash. It was difficult being stuck between the woman he loved and his best friend.

"Please do. I won't be the least bit kind to him if he tries anything stupid." Not even the fact that he was Paul's friend would change that.

"Alright, alright."

The two then joined in the barbecue, waiting for midnight to come.

Two minutes before midnight, everyone left the villa and went out into the streets. Fireworks were already lined at the ready in front of the neighboring houses, waiting to be set alight. "Remember to make a wish," Stephanie reminded Jenny.

"Wish? Will it come true?" Jenny hadn't heard of this tradition before.

Stephanie gazed at the sky, smiling. "Who knows? What if it does?"
