To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129 I’m Not Interested in Either of You

They mocked each other with their words. Jenny stared at the food before her, ignoring them completely. Just before they erupted into an actual fight, Jenny looked up at them. “I’m not interested in either of you.”

They were speechless. She put down her utensils and said to Christopher, “You guys can continue. I’m done. I’m going home.”

“Jenny…”

She had already left the booth. Christopher was a little frustrated. He shouldn’t have argued with Alec. There was no point, and it made Jenny upset.

Alec, however, was in a good mood. He held up his glass and drank from it serenely. “Seems like you’re not her type, either.”

He was at ease now.

“That’s better than being her ex-husband.” Now that Jenny was gone, Christopher did not hold himself

back.

Alec didn’t care. He was even a little happy. “At least I’m her ex-husband. You have nothing going on with her at all. So do yourself a favor and stop bothering her.”

“Who’s being the bother, exactly? Don’t pretend you’re innocent, Mr. Faust.” Christopher scoffed and got up from his seat, not wanting to waste his time on him anymore.

After Christopher left, Alec stayed in the booth. He sipped his drink, dwelling on his thoughts.

Back home, Jenny washed her face, especially her lips. She quite nearly rubbed it off. “Go to hell, Alec Faust!” she yelled as she scrubbed her lips. She felt extremely upset. Ten minutes later, she left the bathroom and sat on the couch with her phone in hand. She called Gilbert.

Someone had to be on the receiving end of her wrath.

Jenny was grateful. She knew that Gilbert didn’t actually have to risk working with the Pearsons. Even with slow planning, they could take down the Dickmans sooner or later. It would simply take longer.

But right now, she didn’t have the luxury of time.

She hung up. Jenny tried to keep herself busy. If she rested, Alec’s face would appear in her head, and she

would gnash her teeth in hatred.

When Alec got home, he was in no rush to walk into his house. He lingered outside Jenny’s door, wanting to knock but not having the courage to do so.

Once he calmed himself down, he realized that he had probably gone too far. Would this make Jenny hate him even more? He did not regret the kiss. It still lingered on his lips However, he felt uneasy. If this made Jenny hate him more, it could throw their shaky relationship back to square one

He pondered it for a long time outside her door. In the end, he texted her. With no reply, he had no choice but to turn back and head home.
