To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 123

Chapter 123 I Have No Evil Intentions

A few days later, Mr. Spade was transferred from the ICU to a standard unit. This made people relieved.

"Good morning." Christopher walked into Jenny's office with breakfast in his hands.

They had grown closer in the past few days. They weren't exactly great friends just yet, but they were, at the very least, friends. This was going well for him. "Good morning." Jenny looked up at him and saw the food. She said, "You really don't have to do this. Saving people is what I'm supposed to do."

"Oh, this is not just because you saved my father," Christopher said, putting the breakfast before Jenny. Their gazes met.

Instantly, Jenny felt as if something had struck her chest. Her knees nearly gave way.

What did that mean?

Was Christopher looking at her romantically, or was she mistaken?

A

Romantic?

It couldn't be, surely. They weren't very close.

She smiled wanly and said, "You'll cause misunderstandings like this."

"What misunderstanding?" Christopher teased. Then, he said earnestly, "I thought I was making myself very clear."

Jenny was stunned. She frowned. So, she wasn't mistaken after all. She stared at him for a long while before saying, "So, you mean to tell me that after only a few days, you've fallen in love with me?" "Maybe not in love. But I do like you." He didn't deny it.

Jenny burst into laughter. Since she and Alec divorced, her romantic life was so dramatic that it was comedic. Unfortunately, she was not one of those girls who would swoon at the first sight of love. Her first reaction toward Christopher's confession wasn't joy, but wariness.

The Spades of Bardoff City. Many people craved to have their status and wealth. Christopher was someone like that, and yet, here he was, saying that he liked her. Wasn't this scary?

As if reading her mind, Christopher explained, "I can't believe it, either. Before coming to Parrington, I looked you up. The moment I saw you, I wondered why I had never seen you before. I felt like getting to know you."

That was why he trusted her unconditionally, and placed his father's life in her hands. This was all because of the feeling he had when looking at her picture for the first time. Hearing this, Jenny grew quiet. What did this mean?

After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, "No matter what you feel for me, I regret to tell you that I'm going to disappoint you. I'm currently not-"

"I know," Christopher interjected. He smiled lightly. "I'm going to get in the line. You must feel like dating at some point."

Jenny exasperatedly said, "Since you've looked me up, you know I'm a divorcee."

"Yeah." Christopher nodded.

"Can you accept that?" Jenny was doubtful.

"Who can control what their love life looks like?" Christopher said.

If Jenny was doubtful before, now she was absolutely in disbelief.

How could someone from the Spades say that he liked a divorced woman? Who would believe that?

She looked at him dubiously. She couldn't figure out why he was doing this. She wasn't exactly the type he could manipulate.

"I have no evil intentions." Christopher knew that she was in disbelief. Her guard was very high up.

Jenny shrugged, looking nonchalant. "It doesn't matter I don't care if you do have evil intentions. After all, you don't know who will win in the end.

If Christopher wanted something from her, she would want to know what he wanted from her. She could scheme, too.
