Chapter 100 Don’t Tell Me You Like Me

Sitting across the table, Alec continued to drink, leaving Jenny’s question unanswered for a while.

A thought crossed her mind as she looked at him. “Don’t tell me you like me?” she asked.

Despite her expectations for a righteous denial, Alec remained silent.

Feeling nervous, Jenny swore at him. “You’re crazy!”

Alec put down his glass and replied, “I’m crazy if I like you? What kind of logic is that!”

Jenny countered, “It’s fine if others like me, but not you.”

“What sort of psycho only fell in love after his divorce?” Jenny wondered to herself.

Alec sighed, “You know, sometimes I think… if I had met you once during our marriage, we’d still be together.”

Jenny asked in disbelief, “You’re telling me you fell in love with me at first sight?”

She found it absolutely ridiculous. Alec didn’t confirm nor deny it.

At that moment, Jenny was feeling conflicted. She regretted her decision to agree to Alec’s request to talk, She proceeded to munch on her skewer as she contemplated her choices.

Alec, not giving up, asked, “Can you give me a chance?”

Jenny’s lips trembled. Suddenly, the barbeque skewers didn’t taste that good anymore.

“Jenny…”

“Nope, don’t call me that,” Jenny firmly said. “We’re not that close.”

She wondered how Alec managed to be so shameless.

“Why can Max call you that, but I can’t?”

It upset him as he was determined to make his relationship with her better than her relationship with Max. Jenny, however, didn’t share the same goal.

“I have no past or present grudges against him. You, on the other hand, are different.”

“How so?” he asked.

“You’re my ex-husband,” she said lightly. “There’s no way ex-husbands and ex-wives can get along well.”

Keeping his anger in check, Alec countered, “Who made the rule that ex-husbands and ex-wives can’t get along?”

“Have you ever seen an ex-husband and ex-wife get along well?” Jenny retorted. The divorces in the dramas she watched always ended in a mess.

Suddenly, Alec said seriously, “I don’t know how other divorcees end up, nor do I want to know. In any case, I don’t want to be like that with you.”

Before Jenny could say anything, he added, “Also, if you don’t want me to call you Jenny, I can call you Jenjen.”

“Are you okay?” Jenny asked in shock, wondering if he was right in the head.

“I’m fine. I’m perfectly okay.” Alec replied, relieved after speaking his feelings.

Unfortunately, Jenny remained convinced that he was out of his mind. She remained quiet for a while.” I’m not interested in you, nor will I ever be,” she said after taking a deep breath.

Her rejection was quick and resolute, leaving no chance or time for Alec to react. Instantly, Alec’s face fell. He didn’t expect that he would encounter such a firm rejection the first time he confessed his feelings. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Unwilling to give up, Alec asked, “What is your type?”

Jenny answered, “Not you, for sure.”

In her opinion, Alec was too aloof and distant for her taste. She believed that fate was predetermined, and their divorce clearly indicated their relationship was not meant to be. Rather than resisting fate, she would accept its verdict and move on.
