Chapter 31

Jenny POV:

As I scrolled through the comments on Annie's live video, my eyes landed on Alex's comment. "Good, she made that clear. I won't bother talking again."

His words stung, like a cold wind on a winter's night. I felt a pang of unhappiness, which only confused me further. Why should I care? Granny had hinted that I liked him, but I refused to believe it. And now, Annie wanted me to be her sister-in-law? The thought swirled in my head like a maze with no exit.

"Jenny, are you okay?" Aunt Cathy asked, her voice soft and concerned, as she tapped me gently on the shoulder.

I nodded, trying to shake off the turmoil. "I'm fine, Aunt Cathy."

Aunt Cathy's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you sure, dear?"

I nodded again, more firmly this time. "Yes, I'm sure."
