To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 No Wonder She Didn’t Fall For You

“I hope you don’t mind.” Jenny took out the mid-sized gift she had prepared, which appeared rather average at first glance. Zachary didn’t ask Warren to accept it nor take it himself. Instead, he shot a look. at Alec. “Why are you still standing there? Get over now. Don’t leave her holding on to that box.”

Everyone’s jaw dropped to the floor, and Jenny was dumbfounded. Alec thought his grandpa didn’t have to be this obvious in matchmaking. He walked up to Jenny, took the gift box, and whispered, “Thank you.”

“Why thank me? This is for Grandpa, not for you,” Jenny said to him without a care about his feelings. Het didn’t mind it too, because he was accustomed to her slight.

Zachary opened the box without hesitation when it was handed to him. There was a lapis lazuli stone in the box, to everyone’s shock.

Someone started gossiping, “Did she not have enough money for a better gift? Is that why she bought that old thing?”

“I don’t think so! She’s Mr. Birkett’s last mentee, after all.”

“Well, mentees are usually poor, aren’t they?”

The guests were waiting for Old Mr. Faust’s outburst and Jenny’s humiliation after she had the nerve to give him an old lapis lazuli stone. Yvonne thought the same as well. Morgan’s paintbrush was laughable, but it was at least brand new. She never thought that Jenny would take it up a notch by giving Zachary an old item that looked like it came from a roadside stall, She could not hold back and chided Jenny, “Miss Walter, it’s Grandpa’s birthday today. Isn’t it impolite to buy him a second-hand item?”

“Yes. She has no respect for Mr. Faust at all,” someone from the crowd added. She was a friend of Yvonne who had been secretly annoyed at Jenny.
