Jenny was even more speechless at his reply and rubbed her forehead exasperatedly. "I don't want to be like a child."Why would she act like a child when she was an adult? Although children were carefree and didn't have much to worry about, what was the point of avoiding reality like that? She couldn't really become a child again.If Alec treated her like a child and she had to become an adult again when he left her, wouldn't it be tiring to constantly switch how she would carry herself?"My point is, you can try to rely on me." Alec felt helpless. He didn't know how to express himself to Jenny. It was difficult to make her depend on him even for a bit.Jenny didn't reply to what Alec said. "He isn't really anyone significant to me. Why would I rely on him?" she wondered.…In the restaurant, Alexandra silently ate her food. Christopher hadn't said a word since they entered the restaurant, and the silence magnified Alexandra's anxiety."Christopher, don't be too saddened. Althou

Early in the morning, Jenny was awakened by the laughter of children in the neighborhood. She opened her eyes groggily, picked up her phone from the bedside, and saw that it was not yet 7 am. The children should be asleep now, so why were they making noise downstairs?Before she could fully wake up, the doorbell rang. Jenny struggled to get out of bed. The moment she opened the door, she saw Alec standing outside. She felt a little irritated at being awakened from her sleep prematurely. "Mr. Faust, why are you at my door so early?"She was puzzled. Alec never came to look for her so early in the morning. "Did something bad happen?" Jenny started making guesses blindly."Get dressed and come downstairs." Observing Jenny's expression, Alec guessed that she'd just woken up and probably didn't know what was happening outside."I don't want to go. I want to sleep a little longer." Jenny turned to go back to her room, but Alec grabbed her wrist."Listen to me this once, Jenny." Alec's e

"Alec! When did I allow you to kiss me?" Jenny scolded, gritting her teeth as she fumed. She wasn't his girlfriend, so what right did he have to kiss her?"Sorry. I couldn't help myself," Alec apologized. But his face clearly showed he wasn't sorry about it, and he seemed quite pleased that he'd done it.He was still laughing, while Jenny was angry and annoyed. She pushed him away and called him a jerk before heading upstairs to return to her apartment. As she walked away, Alec was about to follow her, but the shopkeeper stopped him."Young man, how do you like this photo I took of you two?" The lady smiled and showed him the picture she had just taken. She was quite proud of it.Alec was momentarily stunned when he saw it, but then a smile spread across his face. "It's beautiful.""I thought that sight just now was particularly stunning," she said happily, glad she didn't miss such a magical moment.Alec took out his phone and asked, somewhat embarrassed, "Could you send me that

Stepping into the cabin, the warmth from the heater enveloped Jenny, and the chill that lingered from when she was outdoors disappeared. She felt much more comfortable. Outside, Max was still directing the workers to set up the venue. It was obvious that he was putting a lot of effort into it, paying attention to every detail. Jenny never expected Max to make such a huge change. He must really like Jade, which caused him to become the man he is today."Say…" Alec suddenly spoke, and Jenny looked at him. "Why didn't he choose to do it indoors? Isn't it freezing outside?"That was a remarkably good question. Jenny didn't hurry to give an answer. Instead, she asked him, "Then why do you think he chose today to confess to Jade?"It was just a confession and not a proposal. The two weren't officially together yet, so Max was jumping through hoops that day just to get Jade to agree to be his girlfriend."I don't know." Alec contemplated it but couldn't figure out what was so special ab

In the small cabin, Jenny and Alec watched the scene outside unfold but couldn't hear what Max and Jade said to each other. However, they both had their own thoughts upon witnessing the moment from afar.Alec was contemplating whether he should also arrange a grand confession ceremony like Max, but he was afraid that his relationship with Jenny hadn't reached that point yet. What if Jenny rejected him? He wasn't afraid of the embarrassment he would inevitably suffer if that were to happen. His biggest fear was that Jenny might keep her distance from him after she rejected him, and the progress they'd made thus far would come to a halt. That would have distressed him.On the other hand, Jenny was deeply moved by the scene. She felt that Jade was worthy of the effort that Max had put in. Although Jade wasn't her sister by blood, she was as good as one. Jenny had always been concerned about Jade's lifelong happiness. If she got together with Max, she could finally have her happy endin
