To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 967 Potato Chunks

Things were far from being as good as they seemed. Jenny rarely cooked, so washing the vegetables was manageable, but chopping them up...not so much.

"Dr. Walter, are you just as careless when performing surgery on patients?" Alec picked up the potato strips-or, more accurately, the potato chunks.

Jenny looked a little embarrassed. "I haven't really chopped vegetables before."

"Right, just watch from the side." Alec took the knife from her and didn't let her continue with the chopping.

Jenny became even more embarrassed and obediently stood like a child who had done something wrong. Alec covered up the laughter he was about to let out by clearing his throat and sending her downstairs to buy marinara sauce.

"Do we not have any at home?" Jenny asked. She really didn't want to go out.

"No. I didn't notice we didn't have any," Alec replied. It had been a long time since he cooked at Jenny's house, so he'd forgotten about it. He didn't think buying any at the grocery store would be necessary either.

Upon hearing that, Jenny could only put on her shoes pitifully and go out to buy what Alec had requested.

When she got to the grocery store downstairs, the female shopkeeper, who had greeted Jenny a few times and knew she was a doctor, looked like she wanted to gossip. "Jenny, is that guy your boyfriend? I often see you two coming and going together."

"It's not like that! You misunderstood. He lives right across from me, so we often come and go together," Jenny explained.

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously. "Is that so? Why do I feel like he looks at you differently?"

After all, she had a lot of experience and could naturally see that Alec had a different attitude toward Jenny. No one would believe that he was just a neighbor and nothing else.

Jenny smiled awkwardly. She quickly paid for the sauce and left. However, she couldn't help but think about it on the way back.

She'd gotten closer to Alec recently. Not just the shopkeeper but many people at the hospital had also asked about their relationship, and they probably thought Alec was her boyfriend. Jenny was a little frustrated, as she hadn't really figured it all out. Perhaps she was also waiting, expecting something to happen.

In the blink of an eye, the elevator stopped. She walked out and quickly shook off those unnecessary thoughts. By the time she reached her apartment, she was back to her usual, composed self. "Here's the sauce you wanted. Is there anything else I can help with?" Jenny asked while handing Alec the sauce.

"No. Go sit in the living room and wait for a while. We'll be able to eat soon," Alec said.

Alec had already started cooking, and his movements were skillful. At that moment, he didn't look like a CEO but more like a chef.

Jenny felt like laughing as she watched him. She turned around and walked to the living room. Sitting on the couch, she texted Stephanie, talking about anything and everything. Soon, they were texting about Alec cooking at Jenny's place.

Stephanie's text read, "Ahhh, I really want to come over and have a meal with you guys. I've never tasted Mr. Faust's cooking before."

Jenny glanced at the kitchen and saw that Alec was still busy. She snapped a photo sneakily and sent it to Stephanie with the message, "You won't get to try his cooking, but I can give you a peek." Stephanie then replied, "You're right. I didn't get any food, but I've just been served a full plate of PDA."

Jenny rolled her eyes and suggested that Stephanie go replace Leonard, who would surely be happy to cook for her. Stephanie replied with a laughing emoji.

Jenny put away her phone and smiled with satisfaction. She casually checked the news for the day and found that most of it was related to the Fausts. It was then she realized how bad their situation was.

She looked at Alec, who was still in the kitchen but couldn't see any sign of distress on his face. Was he not concerned, or was he making light of it so she wouldn't worry about him?
