To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) -
Chapter 85
Chapter 85 Bring Jenny to My Birthday Party
A loud chime jarred Alec from his thoughts. Seeing that it was his grandfather calling, he immediately answered the call.
"It will be my birthday in three days. What are you going to get me?"
"Grandpa, how can you ask me that question?" Alec was dumbfounded.
"Why not? If I don't ask, I might end up not liking your gift?" Old Mr. Faust was holding his phone in one hand while stroking his beard with the other, grinning to himself. Thinking of the portrait of his grandfather he had prepared, Alec replied, "I promise you will like my gift."
"To hell with your promises," his grandfather chided. "There's only one thing I want for my birthday."
"Tell me what it is." Alec was much more patient when it came to his grandfather. After all, if Old Mr. Faust knew what he specifically wanted, it would be much easier for him.
"Bring Jenny to my birthday party," he said.
Alec frowned. After a moment, he finally replied, "If you want her to attend your birthday party, it's better to call her yourself."
"I want you to bring her."
While Old Mr. Faust knew that Jenny wouldn't refuse his invitation, he wanted to create opportunities for them to meet, which was why he insisted Alec figure out a way to invite her. However, Alec knew that Jenny would only go if his grandfather invited her. If Alec had invited her, she would definitely not attend the party.
He was silent for a long time, which made his grandfather furious.
"Hey, can't you fulfill such a simple request, you brat? You're trying to piss me off, aren't you?"
"Grandpa-"
"No matter how much you hate her, you must invite her to my birthday party," Old Mr. Faust interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
Alec smiled wryly. It wasn't him who hated Jenny; it was Jenny who hated him! However, he couldn't tell his grandfather that, so he could only nod and agree. "I'll try my best."
"Don't tell me you'll try your best. If you don't bring her along, don't bother showing up." With that, he hung up the phone, not giving Alec a chance to say more.
Alec stared at his phone helplessly, wondering if Jenny was his grandfather's biological grandchild instead of him.
Meanwhile, Old Mr. Faust was still fuming after hanging up the phone.
"Tell me. What's wrong with Alec? Jenny is such a nice girl, yet he doesn't like her!" he complained to Warren.
"Well, you know how it is with young people. They care a lot about feelings. Perhaps he just doesn't have feelings for Miss Walter?" Warren suggested.
Old Mr. Faust snorted coldly in response. "He doesn't have feelings for her? He has never even met her, so how does he expect to have feelings for her?"
When Warren remained silent, he continued, "I think they're a good match. As long as they get to know each other, they'll definitely fall in love very quickly."
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Faust, I never understood why you insist on them being together," Warren said. He knew that they had married because of their grandfathers' agreement. However, now that they had divorced, Old Mr. Faust still insisted on pairing them up, which was quite strange for Warren to watch.
Old Mr. Faust fell silent, and a rare solemn expression appeared on his face. "Jenny is a good girl. She can help Alec and the entire Faust family."
"Miss Walter can help him?" Warren was surprised to hear that. He couldn't comprehend what Old Mr. Faust was saying.
"I don't want to force Alec, but things are not as simple as he thinks A storm might soon come upon the Faust family. Do you think I would be stupidly insisting that he stays with Jenny for no reason?"
With a cold snort, he added, "I'm doing this because Jenny didn't live a simple life. If she stays by Alec's side, she will be of great help to him in the future. This is the only way our family can continue to flourish in Parrington."
Warren could almost see the gears turning in Old Mr. Faust's head as he began calculating. After a long time, the Zachary Faust, who had raised the Faust family from the ground up in Parrington, finally reappeared before him.
