To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Try Me

Alec didn’t have any intention to linger around once their third wheel had gone. He stood up, ready to leave, when Christopher stopped him.

“Are

you in a rush, Mr. Faust? I’d like to have a word with you.”

“What do you want to say?” Alec responded flatly, sitting back down in his seat.

“I’m sure you know as much as I do.” Christopher grinned. They had nothing in common save for Jenny.

Alec sneered, not afraid of him whatsoever. “Then there’s nothing for us to talk about. Jenny is a living, breathing person, not some transactional product.”

“Why so jumpy? I haven’t even said anything.” Christopher laughed, finding Alec being upset amusing. This only furthered Alec’s assumption that Christopher wasn’t up to anything good when it came to Jenny.

Alec took a deep breath. “Well? What did you want to say?”

“Nothing much, really. Just wondering how much it’ll take for you to break up with Jenny.” Christopher didn’t actually have any hope Alec would proceed with his offer. Still, he had to be polite and ask first.

As expected, Alec only sneered. “How is second-class scum acting all high and mighty in Parrington?” Clearly, he had no respect for Christopher.

Cristopher gritted his teeth. “Second-class or not, I still have what it takes to take you down.”

“Really,” Alec drawled. “Try me, then.”

“Are you really going to oppose my family for Jenny? Will you do everything it takes?” Christopher asked fiercely. He didn’t believe Alec had truly fallen in love with the woman.

Alec didn’t waste his time answering him, only walking out of the room with a slam of the door.

With that, he turned and left, leaving Christopher gaping in shock.

Alec was in a terrible mood on his car ride home.

How were he and Christopher the same? They weren’t remotely similar!

Jenny had been worrying ever since she got home, wondering what to say to Alec. She never once found a way to tell Alec what had happened, even when he had come home. She only stared at him, anxious.

“Hungry?” Alec asked, much to her surprise.

Jenny shook her head. “I’ve had dinner.”

She regretted it the moment she said it. Of course Alec knew she had eaten. He must’ve asked because he wanted to have supper with her…
