To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 308


    Chapter 308 Difficult


    Alec was about to speak when Max cut him off, “You promised not to tell anyone until the matter is


    sessful.”


    Alec nodded and whispered to Jenny, “I’ll tell you when he’s not around.” Jenny giggled and covered


    her mouth.


    Annoyed by their whispering, Max said, “Don’t think I didn’t hear you!”


    Jenny found his reaction amusing. As Jade approached them from afar, Jenny said, “I don’t care about


    your past, Max, but if you want to pursue Jade, you have to give up your old ways. She’s not like those


    other women outside.”


    Max red at her. “Why do you always lecture people?”


    His question annoyed her. “I just want to make sure Jade is treated right.”


    Finally, Max relented and whispered, “I’m not fooling around.” He had no shortage of women around


    him. If he were just fooling around, he wouldn’t have continued wasting his time after Jade repeatedly


    refused him.

    Just then, Jade arrived at the table, surprised to see Alec there. “Mr. Faust, you’re here too?” she


    asked. “Just call me Alec,” he said with a smile. “Calling me Mr. Faust sounds too formal.” He was


    polite to Jade since she was someone important to Jenny.


    Jade nodded, saying, “Okay.”


    Alec took care of Jenny attentively the entire meal, and Jade was pleased with his behavior. Max tried


    to help Jade, but she declined his offer. “There’s no need, Mr. Pearson. I can manage it myself.”


    “Since you’re already calling Mr. Faust, Alec, why don’t you call me Max? We’ve met so many times,


    and I’m closer to you than he is,” Max pointed out.


    Jade felt embarrassed. “Sorry, I’m just not used to it.”


    “Just call me Max,” he insisted.


    Feeling even more embarrassed, Jadeplied, “Okay, Max.”


    Pleased with her response, Max nodded. “That’s more like it.”


    After the meal, Max suggested going shopping, and Jenny didn’t object. After all, he had agreed to


    halve the rent, so leaving right away wouldn’t be fair to him. However, she sensed Max’s intentions and


    gave the two some space while shopping, trailing behind them with Alec.


    “Do you think Max stands a chance with Jade?” Jenny asked Alec, curious about his opinion.


    Alec observed the way Max and Jade interacted and shook his head. “It’s unlikely.”


    “I agree.” Jenny knew that Jade had been through a lot and found it difficult to trust men, especially


    someone like Max, who had a history of constantly being in the news for his romantic affairs. Anyone in


    Jade’s position would have a hard time epting him.


    She then asked Alec about Max’s request for his help with the Pearson family. Alec was surprised.


    “How did you find out?”


    “It’s not that difficult,” Jenny said nonchntly. “The situation within the Pearsons is pretty bad, but Max


    seems unfazed, which makes me think he has everything under control. You guys don’t seem to be


    that hostile to each other anymore, so I’m not that surprised you helped him. But I can’t figure out how


    he


    convinced you.” Given their strained rtionship, Jenny had thought that Alec would never help Max.
