To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)

Jade opened her mouth, but after falling silent for a moment, she still could not speak against what she felt. "I like it very much. Thank you."

"Jade, I'm your husband now. If you really want to thank me, can you use another method?" Max was displeased. Jade's tone sounded as if they were not close at all.

Jade's face flushed. However, perhaps because of the alcohol, she was not as restrained as before. She raised her head and gave Max a peck on his lips. Then, she said in annoyance, "That should be enough, right?"

"Well, I need a little more," Max said.

"What-"

Just as she wanted to ask what more he needed, she was completely in Max's arms in the next second. He immediately pressed his lips against hers and turned that gentle peck earlier into a deeper kiss. Everybody in their surroundings screamed and cheered. Jade was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide.

That kiss lasted for a long time. It was unclear if Jade was out of breath or was just shy when it ended, but her face was as red as a tomato anyway.

She felt too embarrassed to face the others, so she glared at Max before running upstairs.

Max chuckled. He thought that this wouldn't work. They were already married, but she was still so shy. What should he do in the future, then?

Jenny and the rest were standing at the side. She had cheered quite loudly earlier. She would be lying if she said she was not envious of the happiness Jade and Max were feeling at that moment.

Jenny turned her head as she wanted to say something to Alec, who was standing next to her. However, she saw Alec staring at her with a burning gaze. She cleared her throat and moved a couple of steps to the side. "There are many people here. Don't fool around, alright?"

Not only were there quite a few people they were unfamiliar with, but they were also celebrating Jade and Max's wedding. They were not the star of the show, so they should not make a fool of themselves. Alec put on a faint smile, pulled her into his arms, then whispered to her, "So what you meant to say is that I can do it when there are fewer people?"

Jenny felt awkward. She did not want to speak to him anymore. She scanned the surroundings but didn't see any signs of Stephanie. She was still standing there earlier. How could she go missing in a blink of an eye?

"Leonard took her somewhere else," Alec said.

Jenny's eyes widened as she could not believe it. "Where did they go?"

"Who knows? Maybe... Leonard wanted to take this opportunity to tell her something." Alec saw it very clearly. When Max and Jade were kissing earlier, Leonard had been staring at Stephanie the whole time. He clearly desired her.

At such a moment, other than feeling sorry for Paul, there was nothing else Alec could do.

Alec's words, however, got Jenny very excited. "Really? He finally can't hold himself back and is going to confess?"

If that were true, then that day was truly a good day.

"You care about other people's business so much. Why aren't you caring about my feelings?" Jenny wanted to look for Stephanie, but Alec hugged her tightly, not allowing her to leave.

She felt Alec probably had too much to drink, so she reminded him, "You should drink less if you can't hold your liquor. If you get drunk later, I won't be able to get you home."

"Do you think I'm drunk?" Alec was helpless. Was he the kind of guy who would get drunk easily?

Jenny said nothing. However, her eyes were saying that he was drunk.

Alec sighed and broke his gaze away from her. "Forget it. Go have fun, then. I'll deal with you when we get home."

He truly could not do anything with Jenny since they were on someone else's turf.

Jenny glanced at him suspiciously when she heard that. Seeing he didn't continue hugging her, she got up and went upstairs. She decided to go looking for Jade.
