To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 128


    Chapter 128 I Can’t Help It


    “Can you think straight, Alec Faust?!” Jenny pushed him hard. She could still taste Alec on her lips,


    and. her heart was in a frenzy.


    He looked down at her, quiet.


    Some time passed. His low voice sounded in Jenny’s ears. He said, “I really wish I could. I know that I


    shouldn’t be harassing you. I shouldn’t be the type of person who does this. But…” he looked at Jenny,


    and his voice cracked, “I can’t help it. The minute I see you with some other guy, I get so mad. I wish I


    could just pull you close to me.”


    Alec knew that the way he was acting wasn’t normal. But what could he do? He couldn’t help it.


    He’d delivered a whole speech. Jenny stood rooted to her spot in a daze. The person before her was


    different from the Alec she knew. She was irritated and pushed him away. “I don’t want to hear this. I’ve


    told you before that I’m not interested in you. So don’t waste your time on me.”


    She walked past him and left the restroom, moving toward the private booth.


    Alec watched her leave, his eyes darkening. He turned and walked out of the restroom.


    Christopher had noticed Jenny’s prolonged absence. Just as he was about to get up and look for her,


    she walked in.


    “What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.” Christopher frowned, sensing her displeasure.


    She snapped back into reality and struggled to keep herself calm and collected. “It’s nothing.”


    Christopher suspected something, but he didn’t press the issue. They weren’t in that kind of


    rtionship where they had to tell each other everything, after all.


    “Are you finished with your food? Is there anything else you’d like to eat?” Christopher asked. Jenny


    hadn’t eaten much.


    She shook her head. She never ate much to begin with, and now she hadpletely lost her appetite.


    When Christopher was about to suggest leaving, someone opened the booth. He could never have


    expected the visitor.


    “Mr. Faust?” Christopher was surprised.


    Alec nodded, smiling as he said, “I heard you were here in Parrington, Mr. Spade. I meant to treat you


    to a meal, but I never had the chance to. I didn’t think I’d meet you here.”


    He smiled and walked over casually to Jenny’s side, sitting down like this was his house.

    Jenny’s eyebrows were furrowed: What was Alec doing?


    Christopher didn’t notice the animosity between the two. When he heard what Alec said, he replied, ”


    You’re so polite, Mr. Faust.”


    “This will be my treat. Think of it as a weing gift for you,” Alec said.


    Christopher wanted to refuse, but then Alec added, “Jenny and I happen to be close, too. You probably


    wouldn’t mind, would you?”


    “It might be inappropriate, Mr. Faust. I was treating her tonight,” Christopher declined with his eyebrows


    knitted. Why hadn’t he noticed Mr. Faust’s thick skin before?


    It was as if Alec hadn’t heard him. He smiled, saying, “Although Jenny and I have divorced, I’ve always


    felt


    that there was still something going on between us. A second marriage might be on the way.”


    Christopher felt like he understood why Alec showed up. It was because of Jenny. And judging by his


    words, he wanted to pursue her once more.


    Why did he divorce her in the first ce, then?


    He didn’t know the reasons for this, but one thing was for sure, Jenny did not seem to share the same


    sentiment.


    “Is that so? I don’t think it’ll happen.”


    Christopher chuckled softly and said, “Someone as brilliant as Dr. Walter could have better options.”


    Better options?


    Alec’s face darkened.
