Chapter 320 Afraid That It Will All Go to Waste
Alec stopped standing up for Paul when he realized how angry Jenny was. He didn’t want to upset her
on his first day as her boyfriend. “Will you come to see Grandpa with me?” He shifted the topic in case
Paul was brought up again.
Jenny considered it. She hadn’t gone to see him in a long time. She’d purposely kept herself at a
distance because she didn’t want to be too involved in Alec’s life. But now…
“Alright.” She nodded, not refusing.
They chatted and returned to the garden. Stephanie was resting in the guest room, and Paul had left.
There were only Max and Jade in the garden. Jenny saw that there wasn’t much romance between
them, but it wasn’t awkward, either. She even felt a little hopeful for them. If Max could let of Jade and
have a fresh start, it would be a good step in the right direction.

Max’s and Jade’s conversation trailed off when they saw the two of them coming back.
“Is everything alright?” Jade asked. Although she wasn’t familiar with Stephanie, she was still Jenny’s
friend. Jade would be concerned.
Jenny nodded. “It is. Don’t worry.”
“Great.”
Jade didn’t ask much, but then, Max said infuriatingly, “She had it coming, getting involved with that
madman.”
Alec’s gaze grew sharp. “Shut your mouth.”
“Am I wrong? He’s always had a screw loose.” Madman wasn’t even cutting it; Paul was borderline
psychotic.
Alec wanted to punch him, but with Jenny around, he had to control himself. “He’s my friend. If you insult
him, you’re insulting me. You think you’re so tough, don’t you?”
The Pearsons still had things to settle that Max even had to beg Alec for help. He was truly bold talking
about Paul like that in front of Alec.
“That’s not how it works, Alec.” Max was speechless. All he’d done was say a few words. Was that
reaction necessary?
Alec scoffed. He had already filed this away in his mind for later use.
Jenny smiled and said nothing. She pulled Jade to the side to watch the fireworks. She couldn’t be
bothered to pay attention to Alec and Max.
“Do you
think my decision is right, Jade?” Jenny watched the colorful fireworks with conflicted. feelings. Although
she couldn’t deny her feelings for Alec, getting together with him was a different matter altogether.
Jade was older, so she had more experience and saw through Jenny’s concerns. She patted her

with the flow.”
“I’m just afraid…” Jenny bit her lip. “That everything will all go to waste.” Relationships were hard to
maintain. She was afraid of being hurt even after giving it her all.
“Don’t be afraid. So what if it comes to an end? At least you cherished it while it lasted. It’s all a part of
life. It doesn’t have to have a happy ending,” Jade comforted her. She knew that Jenny was just
overthinking. She was just afraid that she and Alec could not last forever. But Jade thought that young
people shouldn’t worry so much.
Maybe Jade’s comfort helped. Jenny shook her head. “You’re right. I’m overthinking things.”
“That means you actually care more about Alec than you think.”
Jenny didn’t retort. Perhaps it was true. After all, she wasn’t quite sure about her feelings for Alec
