To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1271 Don't Worry, I Get It

Jenny and Alec walked into the restaurant at night. She was unable to stop Alec from coming in the end. She didn't think that Joey would mind. "Jen." Joey immediately smiled and waved at her when he saw her coming in, but when he saw Alec behind her, his smile dimmed. Jenny hadn't noticed it, but Alec had.

He sneered inwardly. Now, he was confident in his speculation that Joey had other intentions with Jenny.

They sat down. Then, Jenny asked in embarrassment, "Alec didn't have anywhere else to eat, so I brought him here. You don't mind, do you?"

"It's alright. We can ask for another set of utensils." Joey smiled. Although he minded, he had to keep up the act.

Jenny wasn't surprised by this. But Alec smiled in glee when he saw that Joey was unhappy.

Very quickly, Joey called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes. "Don't underestimate this restaurant because it's small, Jen. Their food tastes amazing. You'll definitely love them."

"Yes. I love Parrington's food," Jenny said. When she saw how many customers the restaurant had, she guessed their food was good.

While waiting for their food to arrive, Jenny asked Joey about his studies. When she knew that he was top of the class every year, she felt happy.

"Which university are you planning to go to, Joey?" she asked.

Joey had considered this question many times, but he could not decide. "Since you're with the Walters, does that mean you won't be coming to Parrington anymore?"

Parrington University was good, but if Jenny wasn't coming back, Joey didn't want to stay there any longer.

"Not exactly. I just won't be living here." Jenny didn't know what he was thinking and replied honestly.

Once he knew that, he said, "I'm preparing to study at Bardoff University."

"Really? That's great." Jenny nodded. Bardoff University was among the top universities in the country. With Joey's results, he would have no trouble getting in.

Joey scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "I'm planning to stay in Bardoff City. I might even be able to help out the Walters."

"You don't have to do that, Joey." Jenny frowned. "I sponsored you so that you could be your own person. You don't have to make your decisions because of me."

"That's not what I meant, Jen. I just think that working at Walter Inc might be nice. I might not even be able to get into such a large company." Joey smiled, not letting Jenny read too much into it.

Jenny glanced at him. She couldn't tell if anything was amiss. "You can try getting in, but I hope you're following your heart and not changing your mind based on what anyone else thinks." "Don't worry, Jen. I get it." Joey nodded, unable to meet her gaze.

He was lying. He had chosen to go to Bardoff City and to work in Walter Inc because of Jenny. If it weren't for her, he might have made another decision.

But there were no "what if's in this world. From the moment he met Jenny, he was destined to be her protector.

Yeah. Her protector.

Even if she already had someone by her side, he would protect her from the shadows.

This was what he owed to Jenny, the part of him that he couldn't say out loud.
