Chapter 318 Not Everyone Likes Roses
Jenny put the earrings on, and Alec heaved a long sigh. “Well, hello there, girlfriend of mine.”
Jenny smiled as an unspoken happiness welled up in her chest.
The crowd surrounding them couldn’t help teasing them. “Stop it, you two. We’re all single.”
“That’s right. Let’s eat,” Stephanie chimed in. A bright smile hung off her lips. One could tell that she truly
was happy for Jenny.
Alec and Jenny looked at each other, smiling.
Soon, the staff served them their food. They sat around the table, talking merrily. The dining hall was a
harmonious place that night. But of course, there was just that one person who wasn’t as happy as the
rest.

even looked at him. An indescribable fire was burning in his stomach. He had no appetite, even with the
delicious food laid out before him.
After dinner, they went out to the garden to enjoy the fireworks display. Alec had prepared a long itinerary
for the night.
“If it were me, I’d think all this is cheesy.” Max offered his opinion.
Jade merely glanced at him. “Alec might be cheesy, but at least he’s considerate. Max, on the other
hand…with so many women around him, he hadn’t been sincere to even one,” she thought, keeping her
opinion to herself. She could never say it out loud because she couldn’t afford to offend Max. Besides, it
didn’t matter if Max was considerate of her.
Jenny stood at the front. She didn’t think the fireworks were cheesy at all. She knew that the fireworks
were only meant for her to see.
“Do you like it?” Alec appeared behind her. He held a glass of rose puree. “Try this. I made it.”
“Roses again?” Jenny accepted it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The manor was filled with roses.
Even the drink was made of roses.
“Vincent said that every woman likes roses.” He’d purchased every single rose in Parrington, but it was
still not enough.
“Well, not everyone likes roses.” Jenny didn’t think they were all that special.
“What flowers do you like, then?” Alec asked instinctively. He’d be sending her many flowers in the
future, so he had to be clear about this.
As if reading his mind, Jenny smiled and said, “You don’t have to do all this for me. I’m not a princess.”
Flowers could make her happy, but they weren’t all that important to her.

Jenny could see the love behind his eyes and felt touched. Things blurred together, and they leaned
closer, drawing nearer to each other. Just before their lips touched, there was a roar. Jenny looked over;
she heard Stephanie’s voice.
“Are you crazy, Paul? I’ve stopped liking you for a long time now,” Stephanie yelled. She was furious.
Jenny frowned. “I’m going to watch this.”
“Alright.” Alec nodded and followed her, feeling a little regretful about their moment before. They only
needed one more second.
When Jenny arrived, Stephanie was wiping her lips furiously. Based on her repulsion, Jenny could
roughly piece together what had happened. She looked at Paul. If he weren’t Alec’s friend, she would
have smacked him.
“Do you know what this is, Paul? It’s sexual harassment,” she said, her gaze frosty.
