To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Aren't You Going Too Far?

Back at the apartment, Jenny lay on the couch with her laptop against her chest. If Christopher saw what she was looking at now, he'd definitely make fun of her.

Every single bit of information available online about the Cruzes was opened on Jenny's laptop. Christopher hadn't lied when he said it was Natalia Cruz Alec had gone to the cafe with. The Cruzes were of similar status to the Spades in Parrington, both second-class.

She really didn't know what to feel right now. Alec wouldn't meet up with a woman for no reason, especially alone. Jenny shook the thoughts away. She really had nothing to do with all of it anymore. With that in mind, Jenny switched off her laptop and went to her bedroom to sleep.

Just then, someone knocked at her door. It was already 10 pm. Who could be knocking at her door at this hour?

Jenny went to open the door, coming face to face with Alec himself.

"You-"

The man lunged at her, cornering her against the wall. He reeked of alcohol.

Jenny pushed at his shoulder. "What are you doing here?"

"Do I need a reason?" he grunted. "Moved on from me so fast?"

Clearly, he was talking about Christopher. But Jenny felt he had no right to question her. In fact, she should be the one asking him about the woman from earlier.

Still, she didn't. "We broke up, remember?"

In simple terms, they no longer had anything to do with each other. Jenny was free to be with whoever she wanted, just like Alec was.

That seemed to trigger something in Alec. He held her by her chin and kissed her harshly on the lips. In the midst of their heated exchange, they fumbled from the doorway to the couch, where Alec started sliding a hand between her legs.

It jolted Jenny out of her stupor. "Don't touch me, jerk!"

Alec sneered. "I'm the jerk? Weren't you just as eager moments ago?"

"You!" Jenny snapped but had nothing to respond with.

Why hadn't she pushed him away in the first place?

She blushed fiercely when Alec lasciviously licked his lips, and she said, "Why did you even come here? Leave if you have nothing better to do!"

She shouldn't have opened the door.

Alec leaned close to her, his grin disappearing. "Why go out with Christopher when you know he wants you?"

"That's none of your business."

The moment those words left Jenny's mouth, Alec's face darkened like a storm. "One more chance, Jenny Walter. Or I won't hesitate to..."

Jenny was at her wits' end, thinking about what had happened She couldn't exactly use brute force against Alec. "We had some things to settle," she mumbled.

"Things? What things?" Alex asked. He wasn't about to let Jenny be Christopher's girlfriend. The breakup had just been a farce to get Mortimer off their backs-Alec didn't actually treat it seriously.

Annoyed, Jenny shot back, "Aren't you going too far? What right do you think you have to question what I'm doing when you went out to lunch with another woman?"
