To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 1277

David nodded. He understood the rationale, but it was hard to sit back and do nothing about his daughter.

Jenny came to a decision. "Think of this money as a loan from me. Get her to draft a loan agreement."

Taken aback, David looked troubled. "But Felicity's pregnant. She can't work…"

"I am in no rush to get my money back. She can pay me back slowly, but you and Aunt Hannah cannot offer help. If you do that, you'll be doing more harm to her." Jenny wanted Felicity to earn her keep. Else, that woman would never appreciate the value of money and spend like there was no tomorrow.

David understood her intention and agreed without hesitation, "Of course."

After that, David called Hannah to convey Jenny's message. He asked his wife to make a trip to Felicity's in-laws and get a handwritten loan agreement from Felicity.

Hannah was displeased to hear that, but David threatened her, "If you don't like the idea, I'll let her stay with her in-laws. From now on, I shall not see her as my daughter."

Cornered, Hannah had no choice but to rush to Felicity's in-laws' residence after the call.

"Jenny, thank you." David was overwhelmed by gratitude after the call to Hannah.

Jenny smiled coolly. "Uncle David, you'll always be family. It's just a small favor. Don't worry about it."

"Alright." David skipped the formalities and asked, "What would you like for dinner? We have all sorts of vegetables on the farm."

"But have you ever thought about it carefully? I can help her once, but I can't help her forever," Jenny remarked. Hannah was silent.

Jenny added, "Felicity is no longer a child. Do you want her to act this way forever? You and Uncle David are at an age to enjoy your retirement, but you still have to work because of her. Is this how you want to live out your lives?"

Hannah had nothing more to say to that. Of course, she would like to enjoy her life without worrying endlessly for Felicity. But it was hard to refrain from doting on her only daughter.

"Aunt Hannah, the reason I need her to return the money is to let her have a taste of hard-earned money. I want to instill in her the habit of earning her keep instead of begging you for money. If you don't wish to fund her for the rest of your life, don't give her money. You'll be doing her harm otherwise."

Jenny left the living room and retired to her bedroom. It was none of her business whether Hannah could think it through.
