To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1182

At the event hall, Jenny engaged Eric in a talk. Anyone watching would think they were serious about the business partnership, but Eric knew all too well that Jenny was buying time. He downed the red wine in his glass and gave her an emotionless look. "Was that enough time?"

"What?" She appeared puzzled.

"You were buying time. Was that enough?" He chuckled as his gaze wandered to the restroom. Lynette seemed to have walked in that direction.

Jenny smiled at his cleverness. "Mr. Dafoe, it seems you care a lot about my mother."

He snickered and looked at her sharply. "Of course. She's my wife."

"Your wife?" She smirked. "But I heard that you're mistreating her."

"So what? Do you think you and your useless father stand a chance to leave with her just because I'm mistreating her?" His tone was full of mockery, and he looked disdainful upon mentioning Graham.

Jenny's expression contorted. She had not come across someone as impudent as Eric in a long time. Still, she was understanding of his lack of manners. He was the king of Bayside City who had no regard for anyone else. Suppressing her rage, she asked, "Who knows? What if we do?"

"I advise you to give up on that idea. It'd be a pity if you and your dad were to remain in Bayside City forever," he suggested with a smile as though it wasn't a threat.

Jenny smirked, seemingly unbothered. "That's fine. I am attracted to danger."

"Huh. You're very different from Lyn." If Jenny didn't bear a striking resemblance to Lynette, Eric would have doubted their mother-daughter relationship.

Stepdad? The idea made Lynette sick. She explained, "I have no plans to reconnect with her. And you're not her stepdad either."

"Oh? Don't you? She was confident she could leave with you, from what she told me." He looked at the woman in his embrace, eyes crinkling in a smile.

His words caught her by surprise. Did Jenny say that to Eric? Did she have any idea how dangerous it was?

Knowing Eric, Lynette felt anxious and added, "I am your wife now. Of course, I won't leave with someone else."

"Is that so? Good." He didn't interrogate further. He was smart enough not to take someone at their word.
