Semua Bab To Be Yours Again: Bab 161 - Bab 170

When Alec returned to Faust Mansion from the company at 8.00 pm, he spotted Yvonne standing outside."What are you doing here?" he asked as he got out of the car and approached her. His feelings were rather complicated. He could guess why she was there. After all, everyone in Parrington knew what was happening to the Dickmans. There was only one reason Yvonne would come to him now.A little embarrassed, Yvonne cast her bloodshot eyes upon him. "Alec, can you help my family just this once?""Let's go in to talk." Alec didn't agree, nor did he refuse. Yvonne didn't move from her spot. "I won't go in. I came today to hear your answer."Hearing that, Alec didn't insist. After staring at her for a long time, he finally said, "I'm sorry, Yvonne. I can't help you.""Alec, if you don't help my family, my dad will make me marry into the Blooms. The rest of my life will be traded for the sake of an alliance between the Dickmans and the Blooms. Can't you help me? "She looked at him plead

Meanwhile, in Perry Residence, Jenny was in the shower. When she exited the shower, she noticed she had a missed call. To her surprise, it was from Alec.After a moment of thought, she called him back, but no one answered. Frowning, she wondered what was going on.Flinging the phone aside, she lay on the bed, ready to sleep. However, five minutes later, she found herself calling Alec again.Alec rarely called her, and it was even rarer for him not to pick up her call. Suddenly, Jenny thought of the people who had stared at them in the grocery store. Perhaps their target wasn't her, but it was Alec instead.With that thought in mind, she began to worry. She dialed his number again, but she still received no answer. Nonetheless, she didn't give up and dialed once more.Just as she thought she wouldn't receive an answer again. The call connected, and she hurriedly asked, "Alec, are you okay? Why was there no one on the phone just now—""Miss Walter?"It was not Alec on the other en

"Jenny, I didn't!" Helpless, Alec wondered how he could explain the situation to her. Still, he took a deep breath and told her everything that had happened last night. "I never thought Yvonne would do something like that. Look, nothing happened between us—she wanted to create gossip and force me into marrying her."After hearing that, Jenny chuckled. "Isn't that perfect? You've known her since childhood. There's nothing wrong with marrying her early.""Jenny—""Mr. Faust, why do you even bother to explain? It's none of my business. You don't need to explain yourself," she cut him off and glared at him, thinking that Alec must be a compulsive liar. She refused to trust any word that came out of his mouth. Moreover, she didn't believe Yvonne would be as foolish and daring as to scheme against Alec."Aren't you angry?" Her calm composure sent a piercing pain through his chest and suffocated him. She laughed at his question and asked, "Why should I? We've been divorced for a while.

Warren was waiting at the entrance to the Old Mansion when Alec arrived. When he saw Alec, he hurried forward. "Mr. Alec, you're finally here! Mr. Faust has waited a long time!" "How's…." Alec frowned and appeared glum. "How's his mood now?""He's not in a good mood. Please brace yourself," Warren replied truthfully. Alec nodded at him before going up to the study on the second floor. He knocked and entered the dark room. The only light was from the lamp on the study desk. An old man with gray hair sat at the desk and appeared lonely from afar."Grandpa," Alec greeted Old Mr. Faust and walked up. Hearing the voice, Old Mr. Faust gave his grandson a long look but remained quiet. Alec stood in front of him without a word.A long silence later, Old Mr. Faust finally sighed. "Okay, tell me what's going on between you and Yvonne."Alec told him everything from last night without leaving out details and added, "Grandpa, don't fret. I will take care of it.""Will you?" There was a cold

Yvonne regretted visiting Jenny that night. She wondered what would happen to herself if Jenny followed through with the idea of remarrying Alec. However, she couldn't let the opportunity to gloat about the marriage in front of Jenny go to waste.At first, she had given up all hopes of marrying Alec, especially after he gave her that murderous look. To her surprise, Alec released her. When she realized the rumors about her marriage to him were still circulating online, she started to get her hopes up."Has he acknowledged the marriage if he hasn't done anything to get rid of the rumors?" she thought. She also wondered if Old Mr. Faust had forced Alec to marry her to protect their reputation. No matter what, she considered the situation manageable. If Old Mr. Faust forced Alec to marry her, she stood a high chance of getting married to him. The thought of it cheered her up.Jenny was in a bad mood after Yvonne left. She had planned to cook dinner but lost all her appetite. For that,
