To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 834

Graham knew his daughter wasn't being sarcastic. "I just worry about you, you know."

"I know, but you don't need to. I've survived on my own all these years, haven't I?" She was already an adult, for God's sake.

But the man felt guiltier hearing that. "It's because you had to survive on your own without my help that I feel guilty, Jenny. All I hope is that you can finally find a nice young man to be with so he can protect you when I can't."

"Then you've got it wrong, Dad. There's no upside to relying on others these days." She had never considered finding someone to protect her. Even if she did, she wanted to actually like that person.

Graham shook his head, sighing again. "Where you got your steadfastness from, I have no idea."

Jenny smiled but said nothing in return.

"You still have feelings for Alec Faust, don't you?" her father asked, still worried.

Jenny stiffened up instantly. She hadn't prepared herself for that question. "Why do you ask? It's been ages since we were together."

"Love doesn't always thin with time. Sometimes it can even grow stronger and deeper." Just like the love Graham had for Jenny's mother. It had been decades since he'd seen her. He still didn't know if she was alive, yet he still loved her deeply.

Jenny pursed her lips, staying silent now.

Graham sighed a third time. He had only guessed before, but it was confirmed now. "I don't oppose the relationship, in truth. I just worry you'll be hurt again. But I know what my Jenny is like. She'll protect herself from harm."

Worried as he was, he knew he had to let go one day.
