To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 882

Jenny didn't see the couple fight. She was staring at Alec. "How is the food? It isn't too bad, is it?"

"It's pretty good. It's no wonder you come here often," he said.

Jenny pouted, still feeling a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I'm not refusing you on purpose. I just haven't thought it through yet."

"I know." Alec smiled. He understood her inner struggles. If it were him, he'd be struggling to make a decision, too. He wouldn't know if he were a reliable shoulder to cry on.

Jenny opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But the more she looked at Alec, the harder it was to speak.

"You don't have to overthink it. Go with the flow. I'd still be a pretty confident person." Alec smiled. He believed that Jenny liked him, so he didn't worry too much.

Jenny nodded, saying nothing as she continued to eat.

In the Watkins' residence, Blake watched as the news on the Fausts was deleted one by one. She couldn't help guessing what the family was like now.

Who had killed Xavier?

She knew she couldn't just sit there waiting to die. So, she got up from her room and walked to the one next to it.

"Mom." She pushed the door open.

Her mother beckoned for her to sit next to her. "You haven't been going out lately. Are you still angry because your father and grandfather refused to let you get involved in the family business?"

"What lead?" Blake asked.

"They've caught a few people." Mrs. Watkins didn't know much. These were all what her husband had told her.

Blake frowned. That didn't seem right. "Those people were just lackeys. The real criminal is the mastermind behind it."

"That's right. But how can they be found so easily? If they dared to commit such a thing, they were confident they would never be found," Mrs. Watkins said.

Blake considered it for a moment and asked, "Doesn't Zeke have suspects? Yakov and Alec stand to benefit the most from all of this. Doesn't he suspect them?"

"He probably does. However, they don't have any evidence. Plus, his son was killed. He probably wouldn't want his other son to pay with his life." Mrs. Watkins thought that even if it was found to be Yakov, they wouldn't demand that justice be served.
