Chapter 113 I Never Look Back
Jenny finally escaped from Old Mr. Faust. Just as she was about to find an empty corner to rest, Alec came up to her.
“I’m sorry about Grandpa. He’s…”
“I hope you didn’t think I was just joking with him,” Jenny said, stopping in her tracks. Alec paused. She continued, “When I said I would treat him like my grandfather, I meant it. I don’t mind it.”
“I might have taken that wrongly.” Alec felt helpless. He seemed to always be hapless in front of Jenny.
As if she had read his mind, Jenny smiled and said drily, “Even though I told Grandpa that I’d treat you like everyone else, there’s something I need you to know, Mr. Faust.”
“What?”
“I never look back,” she said.
That said, she turned and left. No matter what Alec was thinking, it had nothing to do with her.
In fact, Alec wasn’t angered by her words at all. He was just a little sad. He should have known that Jenny had told Old Mr. Faust a white lie.
Well, it was all his fault in the first place. He couldn’t blame it on anyone else.
As soon as Jenny sat down, Max appeared again and whispered, “Did Mr. Faust try and get you and Alec back together?”
“Yes.” There was no denying the obvious.
“So what do you think? Are you really going to get back with him?” If so, then he would be losing out on a lot of fun.
Jenny gave him a look. She knew exactly what he was thinking. “Don’t use our marriage as a bargaining chip against him.”
“I won’t,” Max laughed. “I’m just worried about you.”
“Really?” Now that would be a rare occasion.
“How can you be sure that Alec would appreciate you? He never did before. Look at how many women. have their eyes on him here. If you get back together with him again, you’ll be up to your ears in his mistresses and lovers.”
Jenny agreed with Max to an extent. She was perfectly fine living her own life, why would she cause trouble for herself?

Loved the novel!! Hated the ending. It felt rushed to get it finished. I hope there is a sequel. There is a ton of potential for one....
