To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 657

"There's no need." Alec refused and was about to walk past Jenny to get in his car.

Jenny didn't give up. She looked at Alec and continued, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Afraid of you?" Alec sneered, "Why would I be afraid of you?"

"If you're not afraid, why can't you dinel with me? Although we're divorced, that doesn't mean we have to avoid each other like the plague, right?"

Jenny looked at Alec, trying to catch any unusual change of emotion from his stoic face. Unfortunately, he remained very calm and aloof.

"I'm not afraid of you; I'm just not bothered. You need to understand the difference between the two." Alec stared back at her, feeling a little annoyed for no reason.

Jenny pouted and continued, "Then that's all the more reason you shouldn't avoid me. You want to become the heir of the Fausts, don't you? Besides working with the Watkins, shouldn't you also consider collaborating with the Walters?"

Alec frowned. "Can you represent the Walters?"

Nodding in response to his question, Jenny answered, "Of course. Everyone in Bardoff City knows that I'm the Walters heir."

Alec pondered what she'd said for a moment, seemingly really considering that possibility. Seeing him being so calculative, Jenny felt a little saddened. She didn't expect there would come a day when she would need to propose an exchange of benefits just to have a meal with Alec.

After some time, he finally nodded. "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal."

He didn't want to owe Jenny too much and felt it was better to keep her at arm's length. On the other hand, Jenny didn't care who would pay for the meal. She just wanted an opportunity to have a private conversation with Alec. So, she got into Alec's car, and they headed to the nearest restaurant.

On the way to their destination, Jenny thought of the day she saw Alec and Blake walking side by side. Feeling a little jealous, she asked, "What is your relationship with the lady from the Watkins family?"

"It's none of your business," Alec replied coldly.

If Alec was really trying to protect her, he would be cautious and wouldn't speak the truth where it wasn't safe.

Alec followed Jenny into the restaurant, but he still didn't understand what she meant. Jenny chose a private room, ordered food, and asked the waiter to leave them alone. They were the only ones there.

Jenny spoke up, "You can speak freely here. There's no one else besides us. You don't have to worry about being recorded as well."

Alec furrowed his brows, evidently not understanding why she would say that.

"I remember the time when your father came back—you deliberately picked a fight with me to ensure my safety, and that led to our breakup," Jenny explained, feeling that she'd made everything clear enough for Alec to comprehend.

It was crystal clear, and Alec understood the meaning behind her words. Because of that, he couldn't help but laugh.
