To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 963 Start Again

Jenny didn't know what Evan was thinking. But when she heard Evan speak about his experience overseas, she naturally assumed that he hadn't been doing well during all those years abroad. As a result, he ended up going astray and taking the wrong path.

She sighed and didn't doubt what he'd told her. "Then, what's next for you? What do you plan to do? Are you going to continue with your current path?"

She had seen Evan's people suffer losses and thought it wasn't feasible for him to carry on in the same way. On top of that, she wasn't exactly supportive of him going down that same road.

"I haven't decided yet." Evan smiled, but inwardly, he wondered what else he could do if not this.

"Evan, now that you've decided to return to the country, let go of everything abroad and start again. Wouldn't that be better?"

She and Evan grew up together, and although she wasn't as close to him as she was with Gilbert and the others, she still didn't want him to continue down the wrong path. Things were different in the country compared to overseas; if Evan continued as he was, he would end up in jail sooner or later. She didn't wish for him to end up like that.

Jenny looked at Evan sincerely. At that moment, Evan felt immensely touched by her gesture. He wanted to nod and agree to what she said immediately but was still rational enough to resist that urge. He looked at Jenny and asked, "Jenny, if I let go of everything, will you be willing to be my girlfriend?"

"Evan, these are two different things. I just don't want you to continue down the wrong path!" She couldn't understand why he was so insistent about that.

On the other hand, Evan was very clear about everything. If Jenny was willing to be with him, he would consider giving up on everything he'd built overseas. But if she was unwilling, he didn't have a good reason to give up.

He didn't hold the same opinion as Jenny about him going down the wrong path. He wasn't like Alec, who was born into a wealthy family. Everything Evan had now was achieved through his blood, sweat, and tears. He had so many men under his command, and giving up all that wasn't an easy choice.

"For me, Jenny, they are the same thing." Evan looked at her solemnly. He was being serious about it.

Jenny's expression also became grim, and she said nothing more. She understood what Evan meant, but she couldn't agree with him.

As they sat in silence, the waiter knocked on the door and brought in the food.

Evan immediately put on a smile. "Let's eat first. We'll talk later."

Although he couldn't agree to Jenny's request, he didn't want their relationship to suffer a huge blow because of it. He just hoped that she wouldn't mind the matter too much.

Jenny nodded, picked up her fork, and started eating without a word. She didn't know how to persuade Evan and knew very well that she had no right to tell him what to do with his life, but she couldn't bear to watch him continue down a path of self-destruction.

"Evan, you know the situation in the country, right? It's different from abroad."

In foreign countries, people like Evan wouldn't be pursued by the police, at least not to a serious extent. But things were different here, and once any evidence was found, the police would breathe down their necks and come after them relentlessly.

Evan smiled and nodded, but the look in his eyes showed that he was clearly unconcerned about the country's authorities that Jenny mentioned. "I know, so don't worry. I brought people with me just to protect myself and not for any other purpose."

"Really?" Jenny asked skeptically in her heart.

If he had no plans to do anything, how did Xavier die?

"Jenny, don't you think we've all been used by Alec this time?" Evan suddenly spoke. His words stunned Jenny momentarily.

"Used?" Jenny repeated internally, puzzled by Evan's choice of words.

Seeing her confusion, Evan continued, "Xavier was killed at his request. The last time you were in trouble, he was the one who notified me to save you. In the end, both the Fausts and I suffered heavy losses, but he didn't lose anything and became the ultimate winner."

Evan thought not only did Alec win against Zeke, but he'd also won Jenny's heart. But, of course, Evan wouldn't admit to this.
