To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)

"I was wondering where they had run off to. I didn't expect that Leonard would actually confess his feelings to Steph today. What an appropriate timing he had chosen," Jenny said softly while looking at the two of them.

Alec didn't respond. At that moment, he could only feel sorry for his best friend, Paul. There was probably no chance for Paul anymore.

Seeing that he said nothing, Jenny figured out what he was thinking. "You better warn Paul not to cause trouble. If something happens to Steph or Leonard, I won't spare him."

"Don't worry. Paul is not that kind of person," Alec said. He knew Paul would certainly feel miserable when he got the news, but he probably would not go to the extent of hurting Stephanie and Leonard. Truthfully, Alec wasn't confident about it. After all, Paul had always been obsessive. In his mind, Stephanie had always been his, and now, Stephanie was taken by somebody else. It would be strange if he could accept that.

While they were talking to each other, Stephanie and Leonard arrived in front of them. "Jenny, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Leonard."

"Congratulations." Jenny smiled. She could tell that Stephanie was quite happy.

"I'm leaving Steph in your care, Mr. Sullivan. I won't spare you if you dare to treat her badly." As Stephanie's best friend, Jenny felt she had to warn him beforehand.

Leonard nodded and said in an extremely serious manner, "Don't worry, Miss Walter. I will be good to her."

She was his first girlfriend, but she would also be his last.

The dinner party was still going on. It was obvious that Max was very happy that day; he was having a good time with his friends as well. Jade didn't interrupt them. She just drank champagne with Jenny and others and chatted casually with them.

The dinner party ended very late at night. After everybody had left, Jade helped Max back to their bedroom.

At that moment, only the two of them were left in the huge mansion. It was so quiet that they could even hear each other breathing.

Max was a little drunk, so it took Jade a lot of effort to get him onto the bed. She truly had no energy left to help him take a shower. She was going to take his jacket off and let him sleep straight away. However, just when her hand touched the button on Max's jacket, Max grabbed her hand. "Jade."

She blinked. She was a little surprised to see that Max's eyes were opened. "You're not drunk?"

"I'm drunk," Max said. Then, he pulled Jade into his arms. "But even if I'm drunk, I still remember tonight's the night we consummate our marriage."

Jade's cheeks immediately turned red. "How inappropriate."

"Inappropriate? We're a married couple now." Max was not happy about it. He immediately rolled over and pinned Jade under him.

At that moment, they were close enough to easily feel each other's breath. For some reason, they become nervous.

They stay frozen in place for a few seconds. Jade was the one who made the first move in the end. "Why are you dawdling? Are you a man or not?" Max could not help but laugh. He was truly pissed off by what she said. "You'll know if I'm a man or not soon."

Upon saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Jade on her lips.

The driver Max had hired first dropped Alec and Jenny home before he was ready to continue and drop Leonard and Stephanie home.

"We're gonna go now," Jenny said to Stephanie, who was in the car.

Stephanie nodded and waved at them. "Bye. I'll see you again another time."

Immediately after that, the car started again and disappeared from Jenny and Alec's sight.

"Let's go. It's a little chilly outside. Don't catch a cold." Alec wrapped his arm around Jenny and walked toward their home. He didn't let her stay at the entrance.
