To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 767

Although Jolene was deep in despair, she hid her troubles from Rowena, knowing that she'd only make her mom more upset on top of the divorce row.

After she comforted Rowena and coaxed her into sleep, she finally left the hotel and rushed back to James' villa. She had wanted to spend time with Rowena at the hotel, but James set up ground rules for her, and one of them was a ban on spending the night out.

She dared not go against the rules and rushed home as fast as she could, even when the clock had struck midnight.

After arriving at the villa, she cautiously opened the door, thinking that James must have gone to bed at this time. She planned to tiptoe back to her room to hide the fact that she'd been out.

To her dismay, the lights flickered on once she reached the living room. James sat on the couch and shot her an icy glare that sent shivers down her spine. "Where did you go?"

"What's the matter? Why would he be sitting in the living room at this hour? Could he be…waiting for me on purpose?" Those thoughts plagued Jolene's mind. Instead of feeling happy, she was gripped by fear. She was scared he'd go physical on her, even though he never laid a finger on her.

She tried her best to remain composed and went up to him, explaining calmly. "I went to see my mom."

"Rowena Glass?" He raised an eyebrow, showing no respect for her mother at all. He had heard about the incident involving Jenny and Rowena's role in it. Rowena had to thank her lucky stars that he had not taken action against her. In fact, James had wanted to avenge Jenny, but he had to sit out because Graham wanted to resolve the matter by himself.

Jolene nodded and walked up to him. "My dad wants a divorce. She's in a bad mood."

"Hah," he snickered. "Your dad is cursed for marrying a woman like her."

In reality, Rowena didn't need any of her help. Jolene was the one who needed to be saved.

"Good to hear that." He stood up and prepared to go upstairs. "If you plan to come home at this late hour, you might as well never come back."

Before he left, she blurted out her burning question, "D-do you still plan on marrying me?"

They were engaged with marriage set in sight. Right now, the Glasses were ruined, and she also lost the backing of the Walters. Even her parents wanted a divorce. Jolene really had nothing left. Her only concern was her coming marriage to James, and she shuddered at the possibility that she might lose everything.
