To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny)
Chapter 89

Chapter 89 I Know What He Likes

Jenny blamed it on her rotten luck. Parrington was a big city, so why did she always run into Alec?

As if he could feel her gaze, Alec looked in her direction and met her eyes. A wave of complex emotions hit him.

"It's Miss Walter and her friend." Yvonne followed Alec's gaze and spotted Jenny on the nearby table.

Jenny had already turned away. Smiling at Morgan, she told her, "You know the best food here better than me, so you can order for us. I'm not a picky eater."

"Alright," Morgan didn't refuse her request as she was more familiar with the food. They stopped paying. attention to Alec and Yvonne as if they were mere strangers.

"Do you want to go over and say hello, Alec?" Yvonne asked.

Alec shook his head. "No thanks."

He knew Jenny disliked him, especially after what she had said the night before. If he still pestered her, things would not turn out well. Regarding his grandfather's order, Alec had an inkling he was about to be disappointed.

After dinner, Morgan led Jenny around the mall to pick a gift. Their first stop was a jewelry shop.

"Jenny, I think senior people would prefer precious stones over precious metals like silver or gold. What do you think?" Morgan asked as she couldn't make up her mind.

"Let's go in and take a look first," Jenny suggested. "Let's see if there's anything that catches our eyes."

"Sure."

They entered the shop together. However, as soon as they set foot inside, they heard a familiar voice.

"Alec, what do you think of this? Will your grandfather like it?" Yvonne asked.

As soon as Jenny and Morgan stepped into the shop, Alec and Yvonne instinctively turned to the source of the footsteps. Hence, they couldn't pretend they didn't see them.

"Miss Walter, what a coincidence! Are you also here to buy jewelry?" Yvonne broke the silence first. Since they were destined to run into each other, she wanted to take the lead in the situation. Although Jenny didn't want to greet Yvonne, she had no choice but to do so as many people were watching.

"Yes, I'm here to pick a gift with my friend."

"What a coincidence! I'm also here to pick a gift," Yvonne replied, surprised.

"Is it a birthday gift for Mr. Faust's party two days from now?" Morgan asked.

"You too?"

Morgan nodded. What a coincidence!

During their conversation, Yvonne decided to buy an amethyst figurine as a birthday gift, and she paid for it right away.

While waiting for the clerk to wrap the gift, Yvonne asked Morgan, "Do you want to get the same thing too? I think amethyst is a good birthday gift."

Morgan let out a wry laugh, thinking that it would be embarrassing to choose the same gift. She turned to

Jenny for help as she didn't know what to do.

Jenny, on the other hand, was shocked to learn it was Old Mr. Faust's birthday in two days. She wasn't aware of it, not because she didn't take the old man seriously, but because he didn't hold a birthday party during the two years of her marriage.

She assumed that he was throwing a grand party this time because it marked his 70th birthday.

"Jenny?" Jenny was lost in her thoughts, so she didn't notice Morgan watching her. Morgan's voice jarred her from her thoughts.

Regaining her composure, Jenny answered, "If you're buying it for Mr. Faust, you don't have to worry. I know what he likes."
