To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 656

Jenny followed closely behind Alec and questioned, "Who are they, then?" How odd it was to have non-construction workers on a construction site.

"They're probably with the Glasses," he answered candidly, for there was no reason to shun the topic.

She was taken aback but soon had it figured out. Something must be wrong with the land if the Glasses hired men to stand guard at the site.

Jenny turned around to return to the site, anxious to search for answers to her questions. Seeing that, he quickly pulled her back and frowned. "What are you doing?"

"I came here to figure out what's wrong with the land. I can't go home empty-handed." She didn't want to waste the trip.

Alec was dumbfounded but held onto her hand tightly. "Aren't you afraid of being caught? Are you flirting with danger now?"

"I know my limits." Jenny believed the men were likely bodyguards with mediocre skills serving the Glasses, and she could handle them easily.

Due to memory loss, he couldn't recall her expertise in martial arts and felt irked by her insistence. "You're quite stubborn, aren't you?"

"This is my business. Mr. Faust, you don't have to worry about me." She shrugged off his hand and wondered how he thought he had the right to control her.

He ignored her remark and said coldly, "You don't have to go back. I've gotten to the bottom of it."

"Any partnership between the Glasses and the Walters will affect the Fausts." Not wishing to see the two families working together, he had to destroy the partnership. Thankfully, the partnership itself was a ruse on its own that didn't require any action on his part.

After hearing his explanation, more doubts surfaced. Could Alec be lying to her? He seemed genuinely unwilling to see the two families working together, though.

"It's up to you to trust me or not." Sensing her suspicion, he shot her a glance and prepared to leave.

She chuckled dryly and followed after him. "No, I trust your words. I simply had some reasonable doubts. Anyway, I'll buy you a meal to thank you for the help." She stopped him, hoping to have a deeper conversation with him. However, he refused to be involved with her. Every time they ran into each other, he felt uneasy because he would lose control of himself.
