Chapter 147 Who Would Be Friends with Their Ex-husband?

Jenny didn’t hold herself back in the restaurant. She hadn’t eaten well in the police station for the past

few days. It wasn’t because she was worried that she wouldn’t be able to be set free. It was simply

because the food tasted horrible.

“Have some more if you like it.” Alec smiled, handing her another plate of food.

Jenny ate solidly. Then, her phone rang, and she picked it up hurriedly. “Mr. Spade?”

“It’s me,” Christopher replied. “I heard about the news in Parrington. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I just got out of the police station,” Jenny said as she ate.

“That’s great. I’m not familiar with the police stations in Parrington, so I can’t help much. But don’t worry.

I’ll control the comments on the Internet,” Christopher said.

Jenny thought to herself that she had a pretty sociable personality. So many people were willing to help

her when something happened. “Alright. Thank you.”

They chatted for a little while more, and Jenny hung up. She raised her head and realized that Alec’s

face had turned a new shade of dark.

She couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge it. In her eyes, Christopher was a friend. But Alec…

She still couldn’t figure out what to name their relationship.

She said nothing, but Alec couldn’t control himself. “When did you two get along so well? Aren’t you

suspicious that he has ulterior motives?”

“Really? Why don’t you tell me what he’s planning?” Jenny asked, smiling. She added, “He’s richer than I

am and can have any woman he wants.”

Alec retorted, “And just like that, you think he doesn’t have any feelings for you? I’m also richer than you

and can have any woman I want. Why are you so harsh to me, then?”

Jenny looked at him, saying nothing and everything at once.

Alec bit his lip-he understood. It was because he was her ex-husband.

“Alec, we’re not fated to interact with each other like normal people. Who would be friends with their ex-

husband?” Jenny said nicely.

Alec didn’t care. He said, “I don’t want to be friends.”

Jenny was speechless.

“My goals were clear from the start. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your boyfriend.” He had to

make things clear in case Jenny thought he was fooling around.

Jenny didn’t want to talk. She didn’t want to be friends with him, much less his girlfriend. What was he

thinking?

Once the meal was over, Alec sent her back to the condominium.

“Have a good sleep. Leave the rest to me,” Alec said.

Jenny shook her head. “There’s no need. I can handle the rest.”

“Why are you always declining my offers?” Alec was exasperated. His heart felt like it was tangled up in

chains.

“I’m just not used to inconveniencing other people. There are a lot of things that I can do by myself.”

Dependency was a terrifying habit. Once it was formed, it was hard to get rid of.

Alec took a deep breath, controlling the fire burning in his chest. “Alright. You’re used to being

independent.”

“I’m glad you understand. I’m not biased against you. It just happens to be this way.” Since she was

young, her grandfather told her that she had to be independent and could not rely on anyone else. She

was used

to it.

The fire in Alec’s heart was extinguished. Now, all that was left was a wisp of sympathy.

She must’ve been through a lot to be so independent, Alec felt frustrated that he hadn’t appeared by her

side earlier.

Jenny walked into the building, but Alec didn’t leave his spot.

“You can rely on me. Forever,” he said suddenly, watching Jenny leave.

Jenny paused her steps but didn’t turn around. She only waved at him before disappearing.
