To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1189

Jenny was ready to leave, but she was not leaving alone. Looking at Pete, she requested, "Now, please send me home."

"Are you asking me to send you home?" He furrowed his brows, displeased at her orders.

She smiled and added, "Eric Dafoe's men are watching me nearby. They will make a move once I walk out alone. I'm not scared of them, but I don't like wasting my time warding them off. I need to get home as soon as possible to check on my dad. Got it?"

Pete, who was initially confused, finally understood the situation. "Are you using me?"

"How can you say that? As partners, you should ensure my safety. Don't you think so?" She lifted a brow at him, feeling completely justified.

Pete was unhappy but had to follow her instructions. After all, the last thing he wanted was to see Jenny harmed. They left the lounge and got into his sports car.

Eric's men were caught by surprise. "That…that woman is with Mr. Pete. Do we still make a move?"

"Of course not, stupid! We'd be damned if we injure Mr. Pete." The assassination plan was thwarted.

When Pete drove Jenny to the villa, they found Eric's men had been taken down. Mr. Ortiz was busy cleaning up at the entrance. When he saw her, he hurried over. "Miss Walter."

"Hey. Is my dad okay?" she asked.

"Mr. Walter is fine. Thankfully you arranged for adequate security, and Mr. Faust came just in time," he answered.

In the living room, Jenny was pulled into a hug by Alec, who sounded a little jealous. "Look at you, going out with other men after I left you alone for a bit! Jenny, you're making me upset."

"What other men? That's Eric Dafoe's son! I'm discussing working together with him." She rolled her eyes at him. She wondered, "Can't he see that I am uninterested in Pete Dafoe?"

Her words failed to assuage him. "I don't care. I just don't like seeing you surrounded by men. I'm angry now, so you'd better know what to do."

Dumbfounded and helpless, she coaxed him, "Alec, don't fool around." It didn't work on him because he was anticipating a sincere act of "apology." She had no choice but to give him a peck on the lips. "Are you happy now?"

"Not really." Then, he hugged her tighter and bit her lips as his kiss deepened.
