To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 But You Have Me

In Jenny’s eyes, Alec was never a kind and merciful person. He went silent because he understood what she was implying. “I’ll turn in the evidence proving she had hired the assassin, but the Blooms will definitely help her out. I assume that she won’t go to jail.”

“You have the capability to drag someone down if you put your mind to it.” She chuckled, thinking that Alec was making excuses.

“Jenny, I probably haven’t told you stories from my childhood. Are you interested?” He suddenly changed the topic and looked at her as he took a trip down memory lane.

She was confused by the random mention and thought he deliberately wanted to change the topic. She felt infuriated but didn’t refuse to listen because she was interested in his past.

A long time ago, Alec’s dad and Max’s mom eloped, leaving Alec and his mom behind. He was a young child then, but he was acutely aware of the changes in his family. Despite that, he was sensible enough not to ask questions. Instead, he gave his best in his studies in an attempt to cheer up his mom. His efforts were in vain because his mom decided to take her life one night, leaving him all alone in the world.

He feared the dark because it reminded him of waking up to his mom’s cold body. Whenever night. descended, it brought uneasiness and anticipation of a tragedy that would plunge him into terror.

After his mom’s passing, he was taken in by Old Mr. Faust and started living at the Old Mansion, where he met Yvonne. Back then, Yvonne was a bright and adorable child who always went to play with Alec after he moved in. She was a ray of hope that pulled him away from the darkness. Hence, he found it hard to take any action against Yvonne even if she had committed crimes that disgusted him. After all, she was one of his few childhood friends.

Jenny felt conflicted after hearing his story. She had never imagined his childhood to be riddled with pain, and she wondered how he had handled the death of his mother as a young kid. Suddenly, she felt sorry. for him.

*Jenny, can I spare her just once? Consider it my way of repaying her kindness to me,” he asked for her approval while staring deep into her eyes.
