To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290 Don’t Take Me as a Fool

“Why?” Christopher gave Harvey a perplexed look and waited for an explanation.

Harvey merely glanced at him and said casually, “It’s good to have more friends.”

It puzzled Christopher even more. “Grandpa, don’t take me as a fool.” He was speechless at the lame excuse. “Friends? Since when do I need friends?” he thought.

Harvey coughed in embarrassment after his intention was exposed. “I think Jenny is a decent lady. I’d like you to bring her around Bardoff and bond with her.”

“But didn’t you say that it was a joke?” Christopher recalled that Harvey had asked him to pursue Jenny in Parrington, but they both took it as a joke. He had long put that memory at the back of his mind. Something felt off when Harvey brought up the matter again after a long time.

Feeling annoyed by the barrage of questions, Harvey grumbled, “What’s with all the questions? Don’t be noisy, and get it done!”

“I won’t!” Christopher shook his head furiously. “I don’t even love her. Why do we need to bond?”

“Who do you love, then?” Christopher had no good answer to Harvey’s question. Harvey pressed on, “Do you know what is love?” When he was met with silence again, he advised his grandson earnestly, “See? You have no idea what’s love like. If you can’t define it, how are you sure you’re not in love with Jenny? Perhaps you do, but you haven’t realized it yet.”

A confounded Christopher questioned himself, “Do I love Jenny?”

He was shocked when Harvey proclaimed their family could be one of the Ten Elites if he married Jenny. How is that possible?” he wondered. “Grandpa, about Jenny Walter…”

‘Don’t ask questions. You only have the right to ask questions once you’re dating her. Your questions would be meaningless otherwise.” Harvey waved at him and refused to reveal more.

Even the information he held was courtesy of the old Faust guy from Parrington-he had a favor to ask and leaked Jenny Walter’s identity in exchange for help. Harvey would have never learned about Jenny’s background if it hadn’t been for that guy. Armed with that information, he wouldn’t give up on the one chance at becoming one of the Ten Elites.

Christopher fell into a long silence. He seemed to be deliberating over the idea of giving up love for al chance at becoming a member of the Ten Elites. His hesitation didn’t last long, and he came to his final decision.

“Love? Happiness? Those are bullshit compared to the attractive idea of becoming one of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City,” he thought.
