To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) -
Chapter 431
Chapter 431 Stop Sucking Up
Christopher arrived on the hotel's seventh floor the next day, where he found Jenny eating breakfast. She looked at him and smiled. 'Have you eaten?"
"No." He came to pick her up and hadn't had time for breakfast. She signaled at him to sit and said slowly, "There's no rush. We have the time for breakfast." She seemed calm and peaceful, as though there were no worries in her mind. Influenced by her attitude, he sat across from her and slowly ate his breakfast. "I asked Grandpa yesterday if he'd tell you everything. Guess what he said?" Christopher tried to get her attention.
She glanced at him and smiled softly. "From your question, I could tell that he's agreed to tell me everything. You wouldn't have looked at ease otherwise." Had it been the other way, Christopher would have been too embarrassed to show up before her, not to mention enjoying breakfast.
How smart of you," he sighed and thought that he shouldn't have let her guess in the first place. She lifted a brow at him and didn't comment on the matter. During breakfast, he hesitated before finally saying, "Did you know that Natalia Cruz is back in Bardoff City?"
She frowned and wondered why he'd bring up the topic since she wasn't close to Natalia.
"I thought you'd be interested." He shrugged powerlessly and admitted that he had guessed wrong. Indeed, he had never truly understood Jenny.
"I'm sorry. I am not interested in that," she replied.
He didn't say another word after that, and they finished breakfast in silence. Then, they left the hotel in his car and headed to Spade Manor.
At that moment, Jenny was a little nervous because she was close to hearing the truth. No one in her place could stay calm and pretend nothing had happened. Plus, she had no idea about the truth and whether she could accept it, which exacerbated her anxiety.
Not long after, the car drove into the grounds of Spade Manor. Given how precious land was in Bardoff City, the Spades must be a wealthy family to own a massive manor here.
Jenny couldn't help but wonder about the lives of the Ten Elites of Bardoff City that Christopher mentioned.
The car rolled to a stop when she was deep in thought.
"We're here."
She nodded and got out of the car.
"Let's go." He stood beside her and led her into the living room. She walked right behind him and expected to see Harvey Spade in the living room. To her surprise, there were two more people. Christopher didn't anticipate the presence of his parents after their visit the day before, and his expression fell. "Why are you here again?"
Ben and Evelyn skipped him and turned to Jenny with sullen looks.
Are you Jenny Walter?' Evelyn asked and quietly thought, "What a vixen! How dare she seduce my son with that look of hers?"
Jenny nodded with a smile. "Hello, sir and madam." Although she had no clue about the situation, she remained respectful as the guest. 'Hmph!" Evelyn scoffed. "Madam? Stop sucking up."
Jenny didn't reply to her and turned to Harvey instead. "Mr. Spade, how's your health?"
"I'm in good shape. I feel better after the surgery you performed." Harvey beamed at her as if he was looking at his granddaughter-in-law.
Jenny smiled and reminded him, "That's great! Always take care of your physical and emotional health. You shouldn't put yourself through intense emotions."
"Sure. I'll listen to you." Harvey nodded in satisfaction with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, Evelyn was offended and angered when she was ignored by Jenny. "What's wrong with you, woman? Didn't you hear me? I guess I shouldn't expect good manners from a country bumpkin!"
