To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1193

Despite Alec's assurance, Jenny wasn't totally relieved. She'd rather be safe than sorry and didn't want to see anyone around her hurt.

After a few days of peace, Eric had to leave Bayside City for a business trip. Jenny thought his absence would be a good opportunity for them. However, Eric was no fool. As Jenny and Graham were still in Bayside City, he knew they hadn't given up on rescuing Lynette. Therefore, he would be worried about leaving Lynette behind.

"Pack your stuff and join me on a business trip tomorrow," he informed her.

The surprised look on her face quickly changed into confusion. "This is the first time in many years you have wanted me to join you on a business trip. Why?"

"I do what I want. Do I have to explain myself to you?" Eric had always been short-tempered with her through his words or actions. One couldn't tell his affection for Lynette judging from his behavior. But it was wrong to conclude that he didn't have feelings for her because he stubbornly refused to let her go.

She hung her head and pursed her lips. "I thought you refused to let me leave Bayside City because it's your territory, and no one could stir trouble here. Now, you're choosing to bring me with you. Aren't you worried we'd run into trouble once we leave Bayside?"

Eric made a lot of enemies, but no one could touch a hair on his head when he was in Bayside City. However, things would look very different if they left the city. One of the reasons he refused to let her leave was for protection. On top of that, he believed that by physically restricting her to Bayside City, she'd be under his full control.

"You seem reluctant to go with me," he remarked. It was a statement, not a question.
