To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Why Is Alec Afraid of the Dark?

“I assumed they wouldn’t invite you,” Max said with a scowl. “Was it that bastard Alec who invited you?”

“No, it was his grandfather,” Jenny replied. “Considering my previous relationship with him, it makes sense for him to invite me, especially since I was married to Alec.”

Max’s expression darkened. “I didn’t realize you and the old man were on good terms.”

“Yeah, not too bad,” Jenny said.

The room fell silent until Max said, “I’ll pick you up tomorrow. Is that alright?”

“That’s fine,” Jenny agreed, not wanting to go back on her promise.

Max got up and headed toward the door, but Jenny stopped him with a question. “I’ve been curious about this. Why do you hold a grudge against Alec?”

She had never heard of any feud between the two families. However, from Max’s behavior, she could tell that something big must have happened between Alec and him, which made her curious.

Max’s hands trembled slightly, and a look of distress crossed his face, which made Jenny regret asking. When he remained still for a long time, she apologized, saying, “I’m sorry. You don’t have to answer if your don’t want to.” She hadn’t expected him to react so strongly.

After a long time, Max turned around and sat in front of her. “Do you have anything strong to drink?”

“Uh, this is a hospital, sir,” she reminded him.

“Alright, a glass of water would do,” he said, rolling his eyes as he wondered what Alec saw in such an unempathetic woman.

Jenny gave him some water. After he drank it, his uneasiness subsided.

“To be honest,” he began, “I don’t have any personal grudges against Alec. It’s just the Fausts that I loathe, If his last name weren’t Faust, I wouldn’t be fighting him.”

Jenny was confused by his explanation.
