To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 The Grudge Between Alec and Max

Alec nodded. The knife in his hands moved swiftly as he sliced up a tomato. His knife skills were comparable to that of a renowned chef.

Jenny thought she was witnessing a whole new Alec.

“Are you surprised?” Alec turned to face her after noticing she had remained silent. She was in a daze. “I grew up with my grandfather. He was busy with the company and had no time for me. Although we had. nannies, they thought that since I was young and my grandfather wasn’t around, they didn’t cook. So, I learned to cook by myself.”

He learned to rely on himself from a very young age. He learned fervently and mastered everything in life so that he could live comfortably.

That was the first time Jenny heard Alec talk about his childhood. Her curiosity was piqued. “What about your parents? Were they absent, too?”

His back stiffened. The atmosphere instantly turned grim. “They divorced very early on. My father left for another woman. My mother couldn’t handle the heartbreak and killed herself.”

She died right before his eyes.

That day, he had fallen asleep early. His mother was sleeping in the same bed as him, which was a rare occurrence. He was happy. But he never could have thought that when he woke up in the middle of the night and tried to crawl into his mother’s arms, instead of his mother’s embrace, he would feel an ice-cold

corpse.
