To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 691

"Do you not know Steph?" Jenny asked in disbelief. Even she couldn't believe what she was saying, but Alec's response suggested that he had no idea who Stephanie was.

He quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Who is she? Why would I waste my time to get to know her?"

"Alec, what's wrong with you? Steph is my best friend. You've met her before; you know her. Why are you reacting like this now?" It seemed as if he'd never met Stephanie, and Jenny couldn't understand how the situation came to this.

Jenny's words made Alec realize that despite his investigation and reading up on information related to them, there were still many missing pieces. Stephanie was a good example right now. She had no connection with him, but they knew each other because of Jenny, and they had met before. However, he had no memory of this person.

Not wanting Jenny to know about his amnesia, he tried to cover it up by saying disdainfully, "So what if I know her? Since I'm not interested in her. Why would I waste my time on her?"

He didn't deny that he knew Stephanie, as it wasn't something he could deny. He put up a front to show that he wasn't interested in her and didn't care about her affairs.

Jenny frowned, feeling something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on it right then.

Taking a deep breath, she temporarily suppressed her doubts and asked him, "If you're not interested in her, why are you here? Could it be you're here because you care about me?"

"Of course not." Alec denied without hesitation, but after denying it, he was puzzled.

Why did he come? He had heard the receptionist talking on the phone and learned that Jenny had called a doctor, so he followed along. But why? He didn't like Jenny, so whether she had an accident or not had nothing to do with him.

Jenny looked at Alec suspiciously, as his reaction was too abnormal. "Are you sure your psychological issues are really resolved?"

"Of course." Alec nodded and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. I have to say, the psychologist you introduced to me is very effective."

Thinking back to how Jenny and Julian were chatting and laughing merrily earlier, Alec didn't feel too thrilled.

Jenny hesitated for a moment, then realized that Alec had probably seen her talking to Julian.

"Don't worry, Mr. Faust. I won't promise you one thing and do something else behind your back. Since I promised to work with you, I won't collaborate with any other members of the Faust family."

She thought Alec was worried that she would betray him, but this concern was unnecessary. On top of that, Alec was being a bit unreasonable, considering that she was mostly helping him despite chatting with Julian.

If it hadn't been for his sake, why would she bother suggesting to Julian that he should help Alec in the first place?

She didn't plan to tell Alec about it—he wouldn't believe her anyway.
