To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1260 Have You Really Thought It Through

Graham was serious. Alec was just about to nod when Jenny said, "Dad, you're worrying too much. If he ever mistreats me, I'll punish him myself." She was never one to accept the crap that life threw at her. She'd already divorced once. She wouldn't be afraid to do it again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Walter. I'll treat her well." Alec honestly didn't know how else he could be good to her. He was already willing to give her his entire heart.

Afterward, Graham and Alec talked about the rough concept of the wedding. Jenny wasn't too interested in these things, so she went for a stroll.

It was summer, and flowers adorned Walter Castle. While Jenny admired them, footsteps sounded behind her. She didn't need to look back to know that it was Lynette.

"Jenny," Lynette said hesitantly.

Jenny looked back and smiled. "What's up?"

"Have you really thought this through? Marriage is something that has to be considered carefully." Lynette was worried that Jenny didn't know Alec enough. She mostly heard about him through Graham, and she was still concerned.

Jenny smiled and nodded. "Don't worry. I chose to marry, not to depend on him. No matter what, we are our own people. Thus, no matter what happens in our marriage, I will not be affected."

Jenny didn't think marriage or divorce was worth being afraid of. As long as she was strong enough, the world would not be able to affect her.

Lynette was stunned to hear her say that. Then, she smiled. "Yes. You're much stronger than I am."

She couldn't do what Jenny was doing.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine." Until now, there was no bad blood between Jenny and Lynette. Although they weren't as close as a mother and daughter should be, they weren't estranged. Lynette nodded. "Why don't we walk together? The flowers in the garden are beautiful now."

"Sure," Jenny agreed. She strolled with Lynette in the garden.

In the afternoon, all four of them sat together to have lunch. Graham was very happy and insisted on drinking with Alec.

Alec didn't refuse him. This was his future father-in-law. If he refused, he wouldn't be able to marry Jenny. Hence, when Jenny and Alec left Walter Castle, Alec was drunk again.

Jenny drove, looking at the drunk man next to her. "Couldn't you drink a little less? You're not even sobered up from yesterday."

"Your father is happy, Jenny. And so am I." Alec smiled. Drinking so much like this was a rare occasion for him.

Jenny glared at him. "And what about being happy? Do you need to drink every time you're happy?"

"I promise to drink less in the future. I'm not a fan of alcohol, really." Alec straightened up, forcing himself to be sober.

Jenny said nothing. "Just drink less in the future."

"I know."

The car drove on slowly. Jenny sent Alec back to the villa, and once he settled in his bed, she went looking for Stephanie. She hadn't talked much with Stephanie last night, and they were to have some girls' talk today.

In the coffee shop, Stephanie waved at Jenny. "Jenny, here."

Jenny walked over awkwardly. "I'm late."

"It's okay. You went to see your parents with Alec. I understand." Stephanie smiled slyly. "Well? Do your parents approve of that future husband of yours?"
