To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173 Get Me Into Trouble With Him

After Old Mr. Faust left, the atmosphere in the living room became tense. Jenny checked the time and decided to leave as she needed to pack her belongings for the trip tomorrow.

She stood up. “It’s getting late. I shall excuse myself.”

Alec followed suit. He walked over to her. “Grandpa told me to take you on a walk around the Old Mansion. If you leave right now, you’ll only get me into trouble with him.”

“I won’t…”

“Cool. If so, follow me. It’s just a walk around the grounds. Do you even worry about that, Dr. Walter?” He insisted aggressively without giving her a chance to leave.

Jenny was reluctant to be shown around the house, especially if it meant spending time alone with Alec. She turned to Yvonne and said, “Miss Dickman, why don’t you join us? I don’t want to cause any misunderstanding.”

“Sure-” Wonne answered.

“Yvonne isn’t that petty. There won’t be any misunderstanding.” Alec cut Yvonne off.

Her expression crumbled, but she quickly put on a smile. “Alec’s right. Miss Walter, enjoy the walk. I’m fine.

Speechless, Jenny glanced at Alec, who now stood tall and victorious. She nodded with a smile. “Alright.” Even though her eyes gleamed with resentment, it didn’t bother Alec. The pair walked into the backyard, leaving Yvonne staring at them and gritting her teeth.

In the backyard, Jenny followed right behind Alec, praying she could get home soon. The tour was unnecessary, for she had visited the Old Mansion countless times. It was merely Old Mr. Faust’s attempt at matchmaking. She wondered about the reason behind his stubbornness, given that she was incompatible with Alec.
