Chapter 958 Are You Telling Me to Give Up?

Paul took a sip of his drink and looked at Alec, who sat across from him. "I'm here to have

a meal. What else?"

"If Stephanie sees you, she might not think the same way," Alec retorted with a roll of his

eyes. Stephanie was very annoyed with Paul constantly monitoring her, but he didn't seem

to know how to control himself.

Paul frowned at that comment. "What are you and Jenny up to? Are you two opposing me

on purpose?"

Even a fool could tell what they were trying to do.

"You're overthinking it. I met with Leonard to discuss the possibility of working with him.

As for anything that's going on between him and Stephanie, I have no right to intervene,"

Alec replied.

Before Paul could say anything, he continued, "However, what Jenny wants to do is her

own business."

"Her own business?" Paul sneered. "She's just nosy. What does my relationship with

Stephanie have anything to do with her?"

"She and Stephanie are good friends. How is that none of her business?" Alec questioned.

Paul wanted to argue, but Alec beat him to it. "Jenny thinks you're bad for Stephanie, and

it's all because you couldn't hold yourself back. All those things you did in the past have

made her think you're unreliable. Isn't it normal for her to worry?"

"That's all in the past now." Paul wanted to clarify that he wasn't the same person

anymore.

Alec didn't speak but just stared at him. If Paul had changed his ways, Alec wouldn't have

seen him here today.

Paul understood the meaning behind Alec's silence. He gritted his teeth and unwillingly

said, "I just came to take a look. If it were you, could you remain indifferent?"

Paul thought the way he reacted to finding out the woman he liked being in contact with

another man was very reasonable.

"You're not wrong, but you have to consider Stephanie's view on the matter." If Stephanie

knew he was here, she would be even more repulsed by him.

Alec heard a sigh and looked over, only to see Paul's downcast eyes. "Paul, if you like her,

you must learn to control yourself."

"Am I not controlling myself enough?" Paul retorted.

If he didn't like Stephanie, he would have made a move on her the day he arrived in

Bardoff City. Despite his coming to this city for some time already, he hadn't made a move

on her, nor had he stirred up any trouble for the Walters. Wasn't that sufficient proof of his

sincerity? Did Jenny really think he was afraid of her?

"I understand how difficult this is for you, but other people

are unable to do the same. They only see what you've done. You need to do twice as much

to make up for the mistakes you made in the past."

Changing others' perceptions of someone who had committed grave errors couldn't be

done overnight.

Paul drank his tea and nodded helplessly. "I understand what you're saying, but there's

one thing I can never be sure of. Even if I put in double the effort to make up for my

mistakes and change, will Stephanie come back to me?"

He was afraid that he would end up with nothing. The feeling became more and more

apparent after Leonard appeared. Previously, Stephanie had come into contact with other

men, but he'd never worried before because he could sense that Stephanie wasn't

interested in any of those men; she didn't show even a tiny bit of intrigue toward them.

But Leonard was different. Paul could tell that Stephanie treated him differently. Alec knew

of his worries and could also see Stephanie's difference in attitude toward Leonard.

"Paul, you have no choice now. It's because you didn't cherish her in the first place. Why

don't you just give up? That'd be better for both of you."

Alec thought they should each go and pursue their own happiness. Perhaps that would be

a better alternative for both parties.

Nevertheless, what he'd said made Paul's gaze toward him turn unfriendly. "Are you telling

me to give up?"

"I just think it might be better this way," Alec replied.

"I've also told you to give up on Jenny before. And what did you say to that?" Paul sneered,

mocking inwardly that it would always be hoes before bros. Alec only wanted him to give

up because he wanted to help Jenny.
