To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 400

Chapter 400 If I Go to Bardoff City with You...

Morgan didn't know what to say. She simply followed them into the car, not coming to her senses until they reached the café.

When they were ordering, Christopher went to make a call, telling his grandfather about working with the Goldings.

"Jenny, you really don't have to bother about us if you don't like him. I'm sure my dad can replace better clients to work with, not just with the Spades," Morgan said, feeling bad about the situation. "I know, but..." Jenny eyed Christopher. "He's not going to give up even if we don't have lunch. So, I might as well squeeze some benefit from this."

She had come to realize that Christopher wasn't going to let her go so easily after being followed around by him like a sick puppy. Given his tenacity, no wonder he became heir to his family. Just then, the man came back to the table. "Finished with your orders already? Remember, it's my treat, so just order what you like."

He had been feeling great ever since Jenny broke up with Alec, feeling like his hard work all this while hadn't gone to waste, though he really didn't have anything to do with the breakup... "Yeah, we finished ordering..." Morgan replied weakly. She couldn't afford to offend her family's biggest client now.

Christopher opened the menu, glancing at Jenny. "How do you feel today, Jenny?"

"Pretty okay,' she replied, quietly thinking, "Would've been better if you hadn't interrupted my day." "Good, good. I was worried you'd be feeling down again," he said with a smile. "Best to replace a better man after a breakup, I always say. Find someone more good-looking and more powerful to piss Alec Faust off." Jenny didn't respond, but Christopher didn't give up either. "Take me, for example. I'm just as attractive as Alec, and my family's more powerful than his. What do you think?

Jenny shook her head even though those aspects were true. "You think relationships are as easy as ticking off boxes on lists of things you like?"

"All relationships need work, but you gotta give me a chance first, Jenny. How else can we try and make it work?" Christopher responded.

Jenny sighed. "Why do you want to be with me so badly? What about me is worth all your time and effort?"

She just wanted the man to be truthful to her. They couldn't continue like this forever.

Seeing that she was about to implode, Christopher shook his head. "Food's here. Let's eat."

Jenny glared at him. "Asshole."

Christopher really didn't know what to say. It wasn't like his grandfather had told him. In fact, the old man had said he'd only reveal whatever it was to Christopher after he successfully made Jenny his girlfriend At this rate, Christopher would never ever know the truth.

Morgan quietly ate her meal, not understanding whatever was going on between the two. All she knew was that she shouldn't know too much and finish her food before it got cold.

After some time, Jenny suddenly asked, "If I go to Bardoff City with you, will your grandfather tell me why?"
