To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Waiting a Little Longer

Natalia sensed that things were not as she had expected. Given Jenny's reaction, she appeared to harbor a strong dislike toward Alec.

"I...I just want to wait a little longer," Natalia said after a while, feeling that things were spiraling out of control.

"You want to wait?" Jenny frowned, not quite understanding what Natalia meant.

Natalia quickly explained, "My parents also know about my relationship with him. They'll think it's my fault if we break up so soon. I don't want them to think that way, so even if we break up, it shouldn't happen so quickly."

Jenny listened and began to grasp the situation. Alec and Natalia's relationship was due to Natalia's social status, and both families had met each other.

"But he insists on breaking up, and you can't stop him," Jenny said calmly.

Natalia nodded and responded dejectedly, "His father initially supported my relationship with him, but now it seems he can't do anything about it, so Alec wants to break up with me." She thought Jenny was kind and decided to be truthful with her.

"His father?" Jenny appeared bewildered to hear that.

Observing her confusion, Natalia was also taken aback. "Alec's father, you...didn't know?"

"His father!" Jenny stood up suddenly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Alec's father had returned? When did he come back? And how could Alec heed his father's instructions? Wasn't he supposed to be an adversary?

Things seemed to be different from what Jenny had believed. Could it be that Alec had deceived her about everything before? Perhaps his mother hadn't taken her own life, and his father hadn't left with another woman.

Natalia was scared by her reaction and reached out to tug at Jenny's wrist. "Are you okay? You didn't know about his father?"

"No." Jenny sat back down, feeling cold inside. How many things had Alec kept from her?

"He wanted me to marry him, but Alec seemed reluctant." Natalia hinted that Alec had feelings for Jenny and wanted to marry Jenny. However, she had no idea that Quinn had come between Jenny and Alec. With Quinn still in the picture, Alec's actions didn't matter to Jenny.

After calming herself down, Jenny asked, "Did you come here just to tell me this?"

"Maybe he still likes you, but his father made him break up with you." Natalia decided to tell the truth to avoid further misunderstandings.

Jenny laughed. "You're overthinking it. For someone like Alec, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do."

It was more so for his father, whom Alec perceived as his enemy.

Natalia tried to say more, but Jenny cut her off. "I broke up with him, and you're his girlfriend. It's none of my business how you two get along."

"But what if I break up with him? Wouldn't you want to get back with him?" She was beginning to feel worried for Alec.

Jenny sneered and replied, "I wouldn't date a liar.”
