To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 1030 Who Says So?

"What about you? Any New Year's plans?" Alec asked. He wanted to ask her if she'd like to spend it with him but wasn't sure if she'd accept the offer.

After some thinking, Jenny said, "I'm not sure. Probably like usual-spending it with Zack and Gilbert."

Evan would likely join them as well, though Jenny didn't mention it to Alec for fear of his displeasure.

Frankly, Alec had guessed as much too.

"Sounds good. Why don't we light some fireworks together during the night? We can have lunch together." The people of Bardoff City customarily had their New Year's meal as lunch instead, so they'd still be able to hang out for the remainder of the day.

"Alright."

Alec grinned. "Get some rest then."

"You too." Jenny didn't ask further about Alec's personal business. She trusted him enough to make the right decisions.

Just as she was about to end the call, Alec suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to ask about Blake and me?"

Jenny frowned, then suddenly recalled the news she'd seen earlier. "I trust you're not the kind of person to go back on your words," she said uncertainly after a moment's pause.

"Oh? Who says so?" If he didn't, he wouldn't have gone back to pursue Jenny after their divorce.

"So...you really plan to get back together with Blake?" Jenny scoffed.

If so, then whatever was between them would end now.

"Of course not. I never liked her that way." Blake had never been anything to Alec. Jenny was the only one he'd ever had eyes for.

Jenny chewed on her lip. "Really? Why get back in touch with her then?"

"You're not jealous, are you, Jenny?" Alec felt there was a chance she still had feelings for him if she'd go so far as to ask that question.

Jenny said nothing, about to hang up the call, when Alec quickly cut in, "She just called me all of a sudden, asking for help to succeed as heir to her family."

"She's still after that?" Blake really was quite stubborn. That was the reason Blake had gotten with Alec in the first place, too.

"Yeah. If I don't help her, she'll never stand a chance." Every Watkins only had their eyes on Blake's brother, after all. No one would support a woman for that position. Graham giving Jenny the spot as the family head was a rare sight among the Ten Elites.

"So you're gonna help her?" Jenny pouted.

"Not exactly. I'll be getting something out of this too. I've made her promise to try and get her family to help us deal with the remaining Fausts once she succeeds." Alec would have dealt with them even without Blake's help, but he wasn't about to let her get her way without putting in equal effort.

Jenny nodded. "No wonder. It seems the Fausts have their hands full with the Blakes' antics lately."

The Watkins were, in truth, on par with the Faust family, so if they put in the work to attack the Fausts, not even Yakov and Zeke would be able to handle it.
