To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 98

Chapter 98 We Have Nothing to Discuss

Jenny believed that the only reason Max was so infuriating was that he hadn’t been properly beaten up before. She took a deep breath and continued her work in the hospital, not wanting to dwell on why Alec feared the dark.

When she returned home, she ran into Alec and decided she had to start making plans to move out of the condominium. In the elevator, she pretended Alec wasn’t there. After a long silence, Alec finally spoke up and asked if Jenny had received a call from her grandfather.

“Are you talking to me, Mr. Faust?” Jenny asked.

She already knew the answer to that. Alec’s expression darkened, but he tried to remain calm and asked, Who else could I be talking to? Is there someone else here?”

“Oh, I received a call from him,” Jenny replied nonchalantly. When asked if she would be attending, she answered, “Of course, I will go since Grandpa invited me.”

However, she quickly added, “If you don’t want to see me there, I’ll make sure to avoid you and promise not to run into you.”

She assumed that as the event host, Alec wouldn’t want to see her after she had scolded him.

Alec was taken aback and said, “I think you have misunderstood me.”

When had he ever said that he didn’t want to meet her? It was she who wanted to avoid him.

Jenny shrugged, not interested in clarifying the situation. She and Alec had so many misunderstandings that there was no point in trying to resolve them.

Just then, the elevator reached their floor, and Jenny stepped out of it. She wanted to get home quickly and didn’t want to continue arguing with Alec. However, Alec seemed determined to settle things with her and followed her closely until she arrived at the door of her home. He didn’t seem keen to leave.

Holding her key, Jenny turned to face Alec warily. “What do you want?”

“Let’s talk,” he said firmly.

Jenny hesitated and replied, “I don’t think we have anything to discuss.”

“That’s what you think. I think we have plenty to talk about,” Alec persisted. He needed to have a proper conversation with Jenny, or he’d go crazy.

Their eyes met, and Jenny felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny of his intense gaze. She felt a little guilty for an inexplicable reason. After a moment of silence, she said, “It’s late at night. It’s not appropriate for us to be alone together.”

“Are

afraid I might do something to you?” Alec asked with a hint of anger. Was he so despicable in

While Jenny didn’t rule out that possibility, she had an inkling Alec was more likely to chew her out for scolding him previously.

Alec rubbed his forehead, feeling frustrated with her.

“How about we go to the coffee shop downstairs?”

“Drinking coffee at night would make it difficult to sleep.” Jenny responded.

Alec gritted his teeth, barely keeping his mounting anger in check. “Then what do you suggest?”

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Jenny decided to stop toying around with him. She quickly said, ” Let’s go to the barbecue joint. The food there is very delicious.”

Alec hesitated. He had never been to a barbeque joint before. Nonetheless, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity. “Okay, whatever you say,” he said.

The two went to the joint in silence. Once they arrived, Jenny felt more at ease among the crowd of customers, and her attitude toward Alec improved slightly. Alec’s expression, however, turned darker.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
