Alec scolded him inwardly for being so immature, then said coldly, "I'd advise you to be more careful with your words in the future. You're married now. Jade might run after you with a rolling pin one day."Max glanced nervously at Jade for a second. However, she didn't look angry. He retorted, "Jade and I are on great terms. She wouldn't mind.""That's enough. Eat your food." Jade rolled her eyes. Although she knew Max didn't really have feelings for Jenny, she felt it was best if he shut up now, in case he killed the vibe.Max instantly looked at Jade pitifully as if wanting to object. But when he saw her warning glare, he shut up.Jenny didn't expect the flamboyant Max to be subdued after his marriage to Jade. He was a family guy now, nothing like the arrogant bastard he was before. It seemed that marriage could change people.It was a merry atmosphere in the restaurant. After the meal, Alec offered to take them to the bar for drinks. His proposal had succeeded, after all, an
Melanie was straightforward. She said whatever she wanted. Even before Paul, she didn't have any intentions to lie or pretend. She didn't care what sort of person Paul was. It was enough that she liked him.Paul said nothing, merely snatching his glass back. "Unfortunately, I don't like you back.""Why not? Is it because I'm not as pretty as Stephanie? Or is it because you think I'm no match for her?" Melanie couldn't understand why Paul still hadn't let go even though Stephanie and Leonard were already together. He had no hope at all. Wasn't he tired?Paul kept on drinking, sweeping his gaze over Stephanie and Leonard. Stephanie was leaning against his shoulder. Although Paul had verbally let her go, he couldn't help feeling an ache in his heart when he saw her.Melanie noticed his gaze and waved her hands in front of him. "Stop looking. She won't be yours no matter how long you look."That was exceptionally cruel. Paul looked at her angrily. "What I said is true, Paul. I like
She smiled happily. Alec and Jenny were actually paying attention to what was happening to them. When they saw her smiling so happily, they sensed something had changed.Then, they saw Melanie cradling Paul's arm. She said, "Everyone, let me introduce us. This is my boyfriend, Paul Wagner." She smiled brightly as if she had won a fabulous prize.Everyone was stunned. Alec clapped first, to which Jenny seconded. "Congratulations."It was worth celebrating.If Paul could hit it off with Melanie, Stephanie would no longer be plagued with worries. Jenny looked at Alec, sensing that he had relaxed tremendously. Maybe he knew it was alright that Paul most likely had agreed to be Melanie's boyfriend even though he had no feelings for her, as long as he was willing to take that first step. What did it matter if their feelings were genuine or not?Stephanie looked at them and smiled at Melanie. She even gave her a "good luck" gesture. She and Melanie chatted sometimes. Although Melanie k
Jenny parked the car outside the villa and hauled Alec out of the car with all her might.Alec was truly drunk this time. In fact, he was losing some of his consciousness. However, there was a smile on his lips. He knew who was next to him."Jenny, do you know how happy I am?" He smiled, murmuring.Jenny smiled. "I do."Anyone would be able to tell based on what he was like now.Once she carried him into the room, she threw him on the bed and sighed in relief. "You have to cut down on the drinks in the future. I'll let this pass tonight, but I won't care about you in the future."It was tiring carrying someone so wasted around. "Alright. I promise." Alec rubbed his forehead, sitting up with great effort.Jenny saw that he wasn't drunk enough to pass out, so she said, "Go shower. It'll be uncomfortable sleeping in that state.""Will you help me?" Alec asked instinctively.Jenny glared at him. That was her answer.Alec smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Then I won't take a
Jenny rolled her eyes. Alec was clearly the one who had told them. She'd wanted to tell them, but only after a while. But since Alec had already informed them, Jenny had no intention of covering it up. "Alright. I'm going to bathe.""I'll wait for you downstairs." Alec had woken up early, and he had already washed up. He just hadn't woken her up.Alec left the room. Jenny sat on the bed, staring into the distance for a while. Then, she got off the bed and went into the washroom.Soon, Jenny went downstairs. Alec was already waiting for her in the living room, and breakfast was ready on the table. This scene alone made it feel like they had already been married for a long time."Let's eat." Alec saw her coming downstairs and went toward the dining table.They ate, and soon they were on their way towards Walter Castle.Graham and Lynette were waiting for them. They were both feeling a mixture of emotions. Although they knew this day would come, it still felt too sudden.Their daug
Graham was straightforward. He didn't beat around the bush with Alec. He'd brought those two over that day to talk about this."Yes, Mr. Walter," Alec admitted, nodding. Everyone already knew about it."And since she has accepted your proposal, I suppose that you two are ready for marriage," Graham said, this time looking at Jenny.Alec obviously wanted to marry, but Graham wasn't so sure if Jenny wanted to. After all, she'd had a failed marriage before. He thought that she would take marriage more seriously.Jenny was stunned. She looked at Alec, who was looking right back at her. She was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded determinedly. "Yes. I'm ready to marry.""Good." Graham heaved a sigh of relief. Now he knew that Jenny was no longer concerned about her divorce. She had completely moved on.Lynette was sporting a somber expression. She'd said nothing yet. "When are you planning to marry?"She and Graham were planning to travel around the globe. But now that Jenny and Al
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
Jenny recalled Graham's attitude toward Alec and nodded. "He probably does. They're already talking about the wedding arrangements.""Really? That's great." Stephanie was happy. "Now it looks like you and Alec will marry very quickly.""Not necessarily. My dad insists on getting a priest to tell us when we should marry. Who knows what the date will be." Jenny knew what Stephanie was thinking. She wanted to solidify things between her and Leoanrd after Jenny and Alec married.Stephanie smiled. She didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "You should get a nice date. Your marriage from before was sloppy. Now you have to take it seriously."As Jenny's best friend, Stephanie wanted her to be happy. Hence, she didn't think there was anything wrong with waiting for a bit.They talked in the coffee shop until night fell over the city. Jenny had to check on Alec's condition, so she didn't eat with Stephanie.Back in the villa, Jenny didn't see Alec in the living room. She went to
