To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Stop Making the Same Mistake

"Can we really go back to how it was before?" she mumbled. There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Gilbert frowned. "Of course we can. Unless you don't want me as your brother anymore."

"Of course I do." But the moment she thought of the fact that he liked her, Jenny would be unable to pretend as if nothing had happened. She'd even wanted to run away.

Gilbert held her shoulders. "Jenny, I know this is sudden, and you can't accept it immediately. But you must believe me when I say that I only want you to be happy." As long as Jenny was happy, he would be able to stow away his feelings.

"Okay." Jenny nodded in a daze. She got up from the sofa. "I'm going home."

"I'll drive you there," he offered.

Jenny shook her head at once. "I can get myself back."

"Jenny..." Gilbert couldn't bear to let her go like this.

Jenny forced a smile at him. "I need some time to think about it, okay?"

They held their gaze. Gilbert could see the pain in her eyes, and he nodded. "Okay."

Jenny walked out of the villa alone, and Gilbert watched as she left. When she was out of sight, he turned and found Zack staring at him from the second floor. He was no longer in his room.

"You'll ruin our family," Zack blurted out. They had grown up together. He'd always thought of Jenny as his sister. He thought Gilbert would, too.

Gilbert kept quiet. He knew that. It was why he didn't dare to tell her how he really felt. But no matter how carefully he guarded his secret, someone exposed him anyway.

Zack was angry when he saw how silent Gilbert was. He rushed down the stairs and stood before him, fuming. "Why? You could have any woman you wanted. Why did you have to choose Jenny?" He was afraid. Afraid that the bond they had worked for so long to build would fizzle out.

"Zack, you don't know this, but no one can control how they feel." If he could, he wouldn't have wanted to fall for Jenny.

"Maybe I don't. But I would never fall in love with Jenny-I know she's my sister. Who would feel this way toward their sister? Unless...unless you never saw her as one." Zack wasn't stupid. Gilbert's feelings didn't come from nowhere. It must have started early on. Zack and Jenny simply had not seen things from that perspective.

No matter what Zack said, Gilbert remained silent. He didn't tell him that on the day they were adopted by Jenny's grandfather, when Gilbert saw Jenny for the first time in that village, his feelings for her had begun to sprout. Now, it had grown into a large tree.

"Motherfucking..." Zack raised his fist, wanting to punch Gilbert. It was infuriating seeing him so quiet.

Gilbert didn't intend to duck. But then, Zack's fist didn't land on his face. They were brothers. How could he punch Gilbert? He was just angry because Gilbert's actions could ruin their family.

He sighed in exasperation. "Just think about it really hard. I want you to forget about your feelings for her and think of her as your sister instead. Stop making the same mistake."

Zack thumped Gilbert's shoulders heavily and turned. He didn't go upstairs; instead, he left the villa. No one would be able to sleep tonight.
