To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 181

Chapter 181 I Can't Stand Seeing Her Do Well

Max leaned backward as he chuckled. "Don't worry. Jenny and I are friends. How could I turn against my friend?"

Alec snickered at the notion and thought, "A friend? He must be keeping her around as a 'friend' that would be of use one day."

The conversation between them ended at the same time as the wedding ceremony. The bride and groom went around greeting and toasting their guests. Soon, the newlyweds arrived at the table where Alec was seated.

"Mr. Bloom, huge congratulations!" Alec raised his glass at Sam. Although the two were not close, there was no bad blood between them, and Alec would like to show him respect.

Sam laughed heartily. He was obviously in a great mood. "Thank you! Enjoy the feast, Mr. Faust! Make yourself at home!"

During their conversation, Max sourly remarked, "Mr. Bloom, you're quite cool about it, eh? You know Alec and Yvonne were so close to getting married." Sam Bloom was more of a simpleton than a generous spirit in his eyes. How could he marry a woman like Yvonne after seeing her debacle unfold online? Max wondered what was in Sam's mind.

Max's sudden remark attracted collective disapproval from Yvonne and Alec. Yvonne's glare was razor sharp, as though it could cut right through him. Alec was more concerned that Max's inappropriate comment might cause uneasiness at Sam's wedding.

In comparison, Sam was calm after hearing the comment. He smiled and replied, "Well, Mr. Pearson, as you said, they were so close to getting married, and they didn't. So, they weren't meant to be. There's nothing to be upset about."

"Hah! Mr. Bloom, you're really open-minded," Max jeered.

"Sam, let's head over to that group. We have a lot of guests today, and we need to be mindful of time." Yvonne tugged at Sam's sleeve to pull him away from the conversation with Max.

He turned around and beamed at her. "Sure."

The couple walked to another table of guests. Max looked on and added, "Is Sam a fool, or is he just acting like one? Is he not worried about marrying a greedy woman like Yvonne? One day, he might see her taking the reins of the family."

"How is that any of your business?" Alec was dumbfounded at Max's hostility. "He could have married her out of love. Are you against it?"

"How can I be against it? I just can't stand seeing her do well." Since Max was friends with Jenny, he wanted to get back at Yvonne in any way on behalf of his friend.

Finally, Alec left his seat with a glass of wine in hand to stay away from the problematic Max. Max didn't seem bothered. Instead, he scanned the faces of the guests to secure his next target.

In the dressing room, Yvonne changed out of her evening gown. She stared at Sam, who was taking off his tuxedo, and a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes.

"Sam, about Max's comment just now..." She bit her lips, worried Sam might take the remark to heart. After dealing with the Blooms, she found out that the family was dissatisfied with her. Sam was the one who insisted on marrying her. From this, she realized he was her only pillar of support within the Blooms. Therefore, as much as she disliked him, she had to please him and even make him fall for her even

more.

After changing, Sam turned around and answered, "Yvonne, I don't care about your past because I've

decided to marry you. I don't mind if you're involved with Alec or not." He walked up and hugged her. "I love you as you. It doesn't matter who you were with before."

His hug filled her with uneasiness, but she didn't push him away. Endurance would be her first lesson.
