Chapter 985 The Talk
"Have you seen many people who can make it to the end with their first love?"
When Alec asked that question, he lamented the fact that, despite his undying love for
Jenny, they had yet to begin dating. Sometimes, being together for a long time didn't
necessarily lead to marriage; instead, it gave rise to a lot of conflicts between a couple.
Jenny thought Alec had a point.
"Hmm...you're right. It seems Gilbert and I were a little too anxious."
"Although you consider Zack your older brother, he's actually not as mature as you are.
This is typical rebellious behavior-the more you try to stop him, the more he wants to be
with that woman. So, when you see him later, it's best to just ask what happened between
him and Gilbert and not say much about wanting him to give up on her," Alec advised.
Jenny nodded. "Okay, I understand."

They walked into the elevator, and Jenny was still thinking about what to say to Zack when
she saw him later. Initially, she had the same idea of trying to get Zack to give up on
Janet, just like Gilbert. However, after hearing Alec's opinion on the situation and taking
into account Gilbert's moody tone when he called her, Jenny wasn't sure if objecting to
Zack’s relationship with Janet was the right thing to do.
If she did, she might end up arguing with Zack. Although they were siblings and had a
close relationship, arguing with each other could put a strain on their relationship. If
possible, Jenny didn't want to fight with Zack.
"We're here," Alec said, bringing her back to reality.
Jenny returned to her senses. She walked out of the elevator and opened the door to her
home. "WelL.you should go get some rest."
"Okay. Knock on my door if you need anything. I'll be around to help." Alec smiled at her,
trying to ease her nervousness. He knew Jenny valued Zack and didn't want to damage
their relationship. That was why he went out of his way to give her some advice.
Jenny thanked him, then went inside and waited for Zack's arrival. Half an hour later, Zack
knocked on her door.
"You're here." Jenny opened the door and saw that he had come alone.
She breathed a sigh of relief, glad he listened to her and didn't bring Janet along. Although
she'd asked him to come alone, she wasn't sure if he would really listen. Fortunately, it
wasn't that hopeless yet.
It was the first time Zack had come to Jenny's place, and he was surprised. "This place is
so small. Why aren't you living in Walter Castle?"
"I live alone, so it doesn't matter where I live. This place is close to the hospital; it's more

Zack sat down as Jenny poured him a glass of water. "I heard from Gilbert that you've
moved out. Where are you living now?" Jenny asked.
"I bought a house near my company. It's more convenient for work as well," Zack said.
If Zack wasn't in a relationship with Janet, he would probably still be living with Gilbert. But
now that he had a girlfriend, it was a bit inconvenient for him to live with his brother.
Jenny nodded and drank her water while thinking about how to bring up the topic.
Zack looked at her and smiled helplessly. "Jenny, you asked me to come over because you
want to talk to me about Janet, right?"
Jenny was startled but then nodded. "Yes. Did you fight with Gilbert?"
"Yeah. He asked me to break up with Janet, but I couldn't do it," Zack said. After all these
years, he'd finally found a girl he liked. How could he break up with her so easily?
"Did you read the information Gilbert gave you?" Jenny asked.
Zack replied, "Yes, I did. I know Janet did some wrong things in the past. But who hasn't
committed an error or two in life? I can understand why she did all that."
