To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253 I’m Afraid You’ll Misunderstand

When Alec was done explaining, Jenny asked nonchalantly, “I just asked where she was. Why are you telling me so much?”

“I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand,” Alec admitted with a wry smile.

Never had Jenny imagined that there was a timid side to the dignified Mr. Faust. “Well, it’s not like we have anything to do with each other, so there’s no need to explain to me,” she replied.

Before Alec could say otherwise, they arrived at their destination, so he had no chance to speak his mind.

“We’re here.”

They got out of the car and headed to the exhibition together. Jenny had rejected the idea of going to the movies with Alec to avoid being misunderstood by others. However, as they walked into the venue, many people looked at them. From the looks on their faces, they recognized Alec. Jenny regretted her decision. She wished she had worn a mask. 1

“Mr. Faust.” Soon, someone came up to say hello to him, seeming rather curious about Jenny. “Is this…. your girlfriend?”

“No, not yet.” Alec’s answer intrigued their curiosity as it alluded that she might become his girlfriend in the future. As a result, they began to look at her in a different light.

Glaring at him angrily, Jenny announced, “I’ll go over there to have a look first. You guys carry on.”

Without waiting for Alec to reply, she marched to a nearby exhibit and began studying the work. After visiting several exhibits, nothing caught her eye. She had come hoping she could scout talented designers as her company didn’t have any. It appeared that she had been too hopeful.

When they left the venue, it was already dark outside. As Alec opened the car door, he asked Jenny, “Shall we go grocery shopping?”

“Okay.” Jenny nodded before she changed her mind. “Actually, since it’s already so late, let me treat you to dinner.” Considering how Alec had spent the entire afternoon walking around the exhibition with her, he must have been exhausted. It would be burdensome for him to go grocery shopping and cook after returning home.

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. Let’s eat at home. That’ll be healthier,” he insisted, already inside the car. Healthier?

Given Alec’s lack of work-life balance, Jenny doubted he had any consideration for his own health.

Nonetheless, she decided he could tire himself out since that was what he wanted. With that, she got into the car, and Alec drove to the nearest supermarket.
