To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 131


    Chapter 131 The Grudge Between Alec and Max


    Alec nodded. The knife in his hands moved swiftly as he sliced up a tomato. His knife skills were


    comparable to that of a renowned chef.


    Jenny thought she was witnessing a whole new Alec.


    “Are you surprised?” Alec turned to face her after noticing she had remained silent. She was in a daze.


    “I grew up with my grandfather. He was busy with thepany and had no time for me. Although we


    had. nannies, they thought that since I was young and my grandfather wasn’t around, they didn’t cook.


    So, I learned to cook by myself.”


    He learned to rely on himself from a very young age. He learned fervently and mastered everything in


    life so that he could livefortably.


    That was the first time Jenny heard Alec talk about his childhood. Her curiosity was piqued. “What


    about your parents? Were they absent, too?”


    His back stiffened. The atmosphere instantly turned grim. “They divorced very early on. My father left


    for another woman. My mother couldn’t handle the heartbreak and killed herself.”


    She died right before his eyes.


    That day, he had fallen asleep early. His mother was sleeping in the same bed as him, which was a


    rare urrence. He was happy. But he never could have thought that when he woke up in the middle


    of the night and tried to crawl into his mother’s arms, instead of his mother’s embrace, he would feel an


    ice-cold


    corpse.


    It was pitch dark. Little Alec had no idea what had happened. He merely cried out for his mother, but no


    response came. It was only until his cries startled his grandfather downstairs and the lights were turned


    on that Alec saw his mother’s pale face.


    From that day onward, he began fearing the dark. He felt that it brought bad news. Of course, he would


    never tell anyone about this. Jenny was no exception.


    He did not need any of their sympathies.


    “I’m sorry. I didn’t know…” Jenny was ufortable. Although she was married to him for two years,


    she knew nothing about the Fausts. On the one hand, it was because her grandfather had never said


    anything to her. On the other, it was because she bore absolutely no interest whatsoever. She felt that


    she wouldn’t stay with the Fausts for long and thus never wished to understand them.


    “It’s alright. It’s all in the past.” Alec shrugged nonchntly. “Weren’t you curious about the grudge Max


    has against me? The truth is, my father eloped with his mother. They abandoned their families for the


    sake of love. In the end, my mother was the one who died. Although his father lived, he turned into an


    alcoholic and would beat Max every time he got home. He married again, and they both tortured him.”

    Max hated his father and mother. He med Alec’s father for his mother’s departure and extended his


    grudge toward the entire Faust family.


    Jenny needed a moment to recover after Alec said all of this. She would never have expected things to


    be soplicated between them. “So all these years, despite him annoying you, you never fought


    back because you felt guilty?” she asked.


    Alecughed. “What do I have to feel guilty about?”


    “It was your father who took his mother away…”


    “Wasn’t my father taken away by his mother?” Alec retorted.


    Jenny thought that made sense, too. They were both willing participants in the affair it didn’t matter who


    led the other astray, so why did Max hate the entire Fast family? it seemed imusible


    As if reading her mind, Alec said. “I just think he’s pitiful His father med everything on mine. He


    thinks my father destroyed his family Under the influence of a family like that Max is brainwashed You


    don’t know how much he got beaten up. He was bloody all over, always. In that kind of household, Max


    is long gone.”
