To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Why Do You Like Me?

When the two were in a stalemate, Jenny came down from upstairs. Alec ignored Mortimer right away and walked over to her.

"Are you done talking to Grandpa?" he asked.

Jenny nodded and glanced at Alec meaningfully but didn't say anything. Alec could feel the emotion in her eyes, but if she didn't want to tell him about it, he wouldn't ask-at least, not now.

Not long after, Old Mr. Faust came down too. "Let's eat.”

Soon, the four of them sat at the dining table. Perhaps the atmosphere became a little awkward because of Jenny's presence. Old Mr. Faust knew that Jenny wasn't happy about what he'd told her, but he didn't offer her words of advice. He figured she would have to get over it by herself, and there was no point in others persuading her. It would only make her pull away even further.

He then glanced at his grandson and saw that he’d been staring at Jenny. He could only sigh helplessly. Alec was exceptional in every aspect; his only flaw was he loved too deeply when he fell for someone. Old Mr. Faust wondered how much more he would have to suffer at Jenny's hand.

As he thought of that, he decided it wasn't his place to worry anymore. They were all adults, so they should figure things out on their own.

"Miss Walter, my son, Alfred, is working in your company. Please offer him your guidance," Mortimer said suddenly, surprising the other three people at the table.

Jenny was especially surprised. "Why are you admitting so openly that Alfred is your son? Don't you care about Old Mr. Faust and Alec's feelings?" she wondered silently.

She looked at Old Mr. Faust, who seemed unruffled as usual. He carried on eating indifferently, not finding Mortimer's words surprising at all.

Returning to her senses, Jenny smiled politely and neutrally. "If Alfred is capable, he'll naturally get to where he deserves to be; if not, even if you pave the way for him as a father, I'm afraid you'll just waste your time in the end.”
