To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 499

Chapter 499 The Past

Jenny didn't hurry him. In fact, she felt a bit nervous because she wanted to know everything, including who her mother was and what had happened in the past. She thought she didn't care before, but now she realized she cared a lot.

"When your mother and I fell in love, it was a free and easy relationship. She was a very gentle person, and I fell for her at first sight. It took me a long time to win her over. When she finally agreed, I was overjoyed. At that time, I felt like I was the luckiest man in the world."

As Graham began to talk about the past, Jenny didn't interrupt him. Looking back on the past, she couldn't help but feel melancholic at all the fateful events that befell her parents. Graham probably couldn't have imagined what would happen later.

"At that time, I wasn't the heir to the Walter family, so I thought they wouldn't object to our relationship. I foolishly decided to bring your mother home to meet my parents." Now, reflecting on that decision, Graham thought it was the biggest mistake he'd ever made.

If he hadn't brought Jenny's mother to the Walters and instead chose to live a quiet life far away from them, perhaps the couple could have been together for the rest of their lives.

"You can probably guess what happened next. They strongly opposed our relationship, insisting that we weren't a good match in terms of family background and upbringing.' Graham found it ridiculous, as he didn't care about those things.

But as someone who wasn't the heir, he didn't have much say, so he couldn't stop the Walters from going after Jenny's mother. They couldn't lay a hand on Graham, as he was a Walter, so they turned their attention to Jenny's mother.

Back then, they had traveled all over the country to avoid the Walters' pursuit, but they were always found. It was only later that Graham found out all the members of the Walter family had been implanted with tracking devices at birth, so they couldn't escape their family's monitoring no matter where they went. Unfortunately, he didn't know about this then, so he continued hiding with Jenny's mother.

When she became pregnant, Graham was even more afraid of being found, so they continued to hide.

On the day their child was born, the Walters appeared.

Jenny's mother asked him to protect their child, and she was taken away by a group of strangers. To this day, Graham didn't know if Jenny's mother was dead or alive.

At that time, Graham looked at Jenny, who was in his arms, and knew that once she was taken back to the Walters, she wouldn't survive. Therefore, he contacted someone he trusted, which was Jenny's grandfather, who was living in Orchid Village, and had him take her away.

After that, he returned to the Walters and announced to the outside world that Jenny and her mother had died. He began competing for the position of the Walters' heir. To secure his position as the head of the Walter family, he had to marry Rowena. However, he'd been keeping tabs on Jenny's growth all those years, even though he never went to Orchid Village. Jenny's grandfather often sent him photos and videos of her, and he watched her grow up.

When Graham finished, Jenny's furrowed brow didn't relax. ' You said my mother was taken away by a group of strangers?"

"Yeah, I don't know where those people came from, but your mother obviously knew them, which was why she left with them," Graham explained. He had been investigating for years but still hadn't found any clues.

Jenny frowned, as there were still many unanswered questions.

"Sometimes I wonder if it was right to let your mother leave with those people back then. After all, under those circumstances, if she didn't leave with them, she would definitely be found by the Walters, and what awaited her then might have been death."

However, leaving with that group of people didn't mean that Jenny's mother was completely safe either. Graham had been regretting his choice since then.
