To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1186

Jenny put aside her cutlery and stared at Graham defeatedly. "I had not seen her at all when I was a kid. Now, you want me to call her 'Mom'? I can't do that."

"I know, and I hope you won't resent her. It's all my fault that she had to leave." Things wouldn't have ended this way if he were capable enough to keep Lynette by her side.

Jenny didn't seem to mind as she brushed it off. "Both of you shouldn't feel guilty at all. I was living a good life at Orchid Village. And you hired all those teachers to give me lessons. You played a role in shaping my success today."

Although Graham had never once visited her at the village, she found the teachers he hired very helpful and meaningful.

"It's my duty." He wallowed in regret, even though it was too late. The conversation ended there.

Jenny quickly changed the topic. "You'd better not go out in the next few days. Eric Dafoe would probably send his men. We've strengthened the security here at the villa. You'll be safe if you stay inside."

"Okay. I got it." He nodded. "But what about you? You're in danger too."

Lynette had never wanted to be with Eric. Jenny showing up would only strengthen her resolve to leave, and under those circumstances, Eric would likely get Jenny out of the way.

"Don't worry about that. I have security." Moreover, she was skilled in combat herself. To top it off, she had invited Melissa to Bayside City to stand guard over her in secret. Jenny could stay safe from Eric's men if Melissa is with her.

Graham said nothing more and granted Jenny a peaceful breakfast. After that, she left the villa to look into the properties under Eric Dafoe's name to investigate any illegal activities. She thought, "He rules over Bayside City, but so what? He's not above the law."
