To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 She Likes Pearsons

Max dropped Jenny off in front of Perry Residence. Jokingly, he asked, “Aren’t you going to let me in?”

“Probably not,” she refused. “It’s late. You should get some rest, Mr. Pearson.”

“Max,” he reminded her.

“Max.” She didn’t argue. She didn’t care what she called him. It didn’t matter, anyway.

Max nodded in satisfaction and opened his door. “Go home, then. You should rest, too.”

Jenny got out quickly and walked into the condominium, disappearing from his sight.

Max was in no hurry to leave, leaning against his car and lighting a cigarette. He raised his wrist to look at the time and smirked. “He’s probably coming soon.”

Right as he said that, a car sped over. It was the same black car that he had seen before.

His smirk grew wider. “He’s fast.”

The car stopped in front of him. Alec stepped out with a dark look on his face. “Are you

done?”

“What do you mean, Mr. Faust? I don’t understand,” Max said. He looked extremely punchable to Alec.

“Is that so?” Alec smiled. “It seems that the Pearsons have no more desire to live.”

Max’s expression darkened. He was no longer smiling. “Are you waging war?”

“Isn’t this what you want?” Alec asked.

“Yeah.” Max nodded, unusually grim.

All these years, Alec had never treated him like someone significant. He aggravated him plenty of times, but Alec simply thought of him as a joke.

Now, he could finally see him eye to eye.
