To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 909

He chuckled at her question and asked her instead, "Are you worried?"

"Of course! Who isn't worried about their safety?" Given how influential the Fausts were, she figured she couldn't take them down even as the head of the Walters.

Zeke Faust was a merciless man from the way he silently agreed to Xavier's attack on Alec. He was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Why would you agree to have dinner with me, then?" he inquired, as he did not see any hint of fear on her face.

She took a bite and said nonchalantly, "I can't possibly give up on my normal life out of fear."

Agreeing to dine with Alec and getting closer to each other was part of her normal life, and she wouldn't change that for anyone, even if that meant risking her safety. She did not believe that keeping a distance from Alec would make her safe from Zeke Faust. If the old man set his eyes on her, he wouldn't go easy on her no matter how far she stayed away from Alec.

"Yeah, you're right." He nodded in agreement. "Don't worry. I'll protect you."

"Hah, no, thanks." She was confident that Zeke Faust would need to deliberate before attacking her, given that she was the head of the Walters, even though she was no match for the Fausts.

Alec somehow found her confidence alluring. A desire arose in him. "Jenny, you look really dazzling at this moment."

Her hand froze in the air. His sudden compliment embarrassed her. "You'd be naive to think I'd agree to date you by dishing out a few compliments."
