To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 165

Chapter 165 I'll Send My Congratulations

"Jenny, I didn't!" Helpless, Alec wondered how he could explain the situation to her. Still, he took a deep breath and told her everything that had happened last night. "I never thought Yvonne would do something like that. Look, nothing happened between us-she wanted to create gossip and force me into marrying her."

After hearing that, Jenny chuckled. "Isn't that perfect? You've known her since childhood. There's nothing. wrong with marrying her early."

"Jenny-"

"Mr. Faust, why do you even bother to explain? It's none of thy business. You don't need to explain yourself," she cut him off and glared at him, thinking that Alec must be a compulsive liar. She refused to trust any word that came out of his mouth. Moreover, she didn't believe Yvonne would be as foolish and daring as to scheme against Alec.

"Aren't you angry?" Her calm composure sent a piercing pain through his chest and suffocated him.

She laughed at his question and asked, "Why should I? We've been divorced for a while. I'm not surprised that you'd want a second marriage."

She found no reason to be angry at him. More accurately, she felt she didn't have the right to be angry, for she had no relationship with him. There was nothing left between them.

"Is that all? Were all my efforts a one-sided love that has never once touched your heart?" He had hoped that his efforts would make a difference and he could at least get her to like him. Now, it seemed that he was being delusional.

She felt uneasy under his gaze but insisted, "Did you really think I'd feel grateful for your help, fall in love, and marry you?"

He didn't reply because he had never expected anything of the sort from her.

"I told you before that I don't like any Fausts. Did you think I was joking?"

Alec stood there quietly, staring at the woman in front of him. Every single word from her mouth was a stab in his heart. Perhaps all his efforts were worth nothing in her eyes, but he had given his best and was at a loss for how he could do better.

"You wouldn't care even if I married Yvonne. Is that right?" he asked while staring intently at her, attempting to search for signs of lying. However, Jenny was good at putting up a front.

She beamed at him even though she was secretly upset. "What do you expect? Do you think I'd cry over the news? Don't worry. I will congratulate you."

Alec paused for a moment and collected himself. He chuckled and said, "I accept your congratulations. And I won't let you down."

She was a little surprised by the response but feigned an air of nonchalance. "So, are you going to marry

Yvonne?"

"Since we're not that close, I'd rather not share my private matters with you." He smirked.

With a soft smile, she retorted, "I just wanted to remind you to send an invitation if you're marrying her. We're acquaintances, after all. I should at least congratulate you in person." "Oh, don't worry about that. I'd make sure to deliver the invitation myself if I get married." His tone was cold. He gave her a long and hard look before leaving.

Feeling stifled, she looked on as he walked away.
