To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 240


    Chapter 240 Don’t Give Me Those Eyes


    Jenny leaned against the door, hearing Marigold’s thumps and knocks. Even after she left, Jenny stood


    frozen in her spot, unmoving.


    Gilbert…


    Jenny tried hard not to think about what Marigold had said. She told herself that it wasn’t real, that


    Gilbert was just her brother, that he wouldn’t mix up his feelings for her. But then, she couldn’t calm


    down. Her memories with Gilbert shed before her like a movie. His actions, the look in his eyes….


    She realized the signs were all there, but she hadn’t thought of him that way, which was why she never


    noticed. And now, after being rudely exposed, she realized that she couldn’t lie to herself.


    She slid down the door and buried her head in her arms. A throbbing pain permeated her heart.


    Alec appeared outside the door. He’d waited a long time for Jenny’s lights to turn on, and had begun to


    worry for her safety, so he came up to look. He just so happened to hear Marigold’s words.


    He hadn’te forward to stop her because he thought Jenny deserved to know. He only went to her


    door after Marigold left. He didn’t knock, knowing that Jenny would be upset and he wouldn’t be able to


    do anything.


    Nofort in this world would be of use. Jenny had to get through this on her own.


    He sighed helplessly, leaning against the door. Instinctively, he thought about lighting a cigarette, and


    his lips twisted into a bitter smile. He seemed to be smoking more frequently now.


    He was contemting lighting the cigarette when the door unexpectedly opened as he was finally


    putting it back. Alec had no time to hide, presenting himself to Jenny head-on.


    “Why are you here?” Jenny frowned. Wasn’t he supposed to have left a long time ago? Then, she


    thought of something, and her face changed. “Did you hear everything?”


    “Jenny…” Alec wanted to exin, but when he saw her reddened eyes, he knew that anything he said


    would not be of use.


    “Don’t give me those eyes. Are you pitying me?” Jenny looked at Alec, not understanding why he would


    look at her like that. Even if Gilbert liked her, what was there to pity her about?


    “No. I was worried about you.” He was worried that Jenny wouldn’t be able to take it.

    At first, Jenny truly couldn’t take it. But then she calmed down quickly. She couldn’t take Marigold’s


    word for it. Who knew if what Marigold said was true?


    She wanted to go out to look for Gilbert so she could talk to him about it. If it were real, she would have


    to make it clear that he’d have to stop thinking about her that way. They were siblings. Even if they


    were not blood-rted, they could only be siblings.


    Jenny waved her hands. She was in no mood to talk to Alec. “There’s no need. Please, go home.”


    “Where are you going?” Alec asked.


    “I have something to do.” Jenny walked into the elevator, and Alec followed closely behind.


    In the elevator, Alec guessed where she was going, but he didn’t ask. “Alright. Call me if anything


    happens. I’ll always be there.”


    Jenny only looked at him, not saying anything.


    The elevator stopped on the first floor. Jenny walked out of the gates, hailed a cab, and left quickly.


    Alec


    didn’t even have the chance to offer to drive her.
