To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 She’s Been Married Before

“Get to the point.” Alec rubbed his temples, leaning against his couch. He waited for Paul to speak.

Paul muttered for a bit before saying, “Her name is Jenny. She grew up in Orchid Village, but don’t underestimate her because of that. She’s a beast in academics. She’s been skipping grade levels, graduating with a Ph.D. at just twenty-two years old. Then she went abroad for two years before finally returning.”

Jenny?

Why was this name so familiar?

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember where he had heard it.

“What else?” Alec got up and walked over to the windows, looking at the view of the city at night. No one could guess what was going through his mind.

“What else?” Paul’s voice grew higher. He said playfully, “She didn’t work after returning to the country and disappeared from sight. Guess what she’d been up to.”

Of course, Alec couldn’t guess, but he thought of why he couldn’t find Jenny before. He’d thought that she had disappeared.

“What did she do?”

“She got married,” Paul said.

Instantly, Alec frowned. “Married?”

“That’s right. The records from City Hall say that she is married,” he replied.

Receiving no answer from Alec, Paul said disinterestedly, “Are you not going to react to finding out that she’s married?”

“How else should I react?” Alec asked, his irises dark and unfathomable.

“Aren’t you disappointed?” Paul asked.

Alec did not respond. He didn’t know how else to react. Should he be disappointed?

He seemed to be a little bit, but he was even more surprised. What kind of man would a woman like that marry?
