To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 So What?

Ben and Evelyn put on serious faces when they brought up the purpose of their visit. He nudged her, only to receive a glare. She thought, “Is he seriously making me the bad guy every time?”

Still, she collected herself and said to her son, “Christopher, I heard that you brought home a woman from Parrington-that small city.”

Although the couple was not the heir of the Spade Group, they were highly interested in every single move of their son. They immediately received the news when Christopher showed up with Jenny and hurried to the Spade Manor.

Christopher’s face soured even more when they brought up the issue. “So what?” He glared at them and reined in his anger.

“We shouldn’t interfere in your life because you’re an adult. But you have to be careful when it comes to marriage,” Evelyn went on. When she noticed Christopher’s silence, she added, “A woman from a small city is not a good match for you. You’re going to take over the Spades business. If you marry someone from a dinky place, you’ll end up as a laughingstock.”

Looking serious, she seemed genuinely concerned about her son’s best interest.

Christopher found her suggestion ridiculous and hilarious. Jenny would have to agree to marry him in the first place for Evelyn’s objection to be valid.

“Your mom’s right. If you want to get married, a better candidate would be the daughter of the Jacobsons. Well, she’s technically the offspring of the family’s side branch, but she’s related to the Ten Elites, after all! She’s way better than that woman from the small city. The Jacobsons’ daughter is interested in you as well. I can set up a date for the both of you if you’re fine with it.” First, they put Jenny down, then casually mention the Jacobsons’ daughter. Christopher would be dumb not to know what they were up to.

The couple was slightly annoyed at Christopher’s long silence in the face of their lengthy persuasion.
