To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 379

Chapter 379 Are You Out of Your Mind?

like "He's not, and neither are you. You have to be confident in yourself, Jenny. I've never seen you this," Stephanie said solemnly. Jenny dismissed it. "It's not about confidence." She just wondered if Alec liked her because she resembled the woman in the photo.

Who...was she?

Jenny had too many questions but didn't tell Stephanie any of them. It would only worry her friend.

"How have you been, by the way? Is Paul causing any trouble?" Jenny swiftly changed the topic. She didn't want to talk about her relationship anymore. It only aggravated her further. Stephanie sighed, sipping her coffee. "I've been alright. Paul's been busy, but we've been handling it okay." She wouldn't have agreed to lunch with Jenny if the problems had persisted. "Good. Remember to always let me know if you need help," Jenny said.

"Hehe, I will."

The two continued their lunch, dropping the topic of Alec and Paul. It allowed them a moment's reprise from their worries.

When Jenny went home that night, she saw Alec's closed apartment door and figured he was still at work. After some thought, she decided to call him. It was reasonable; they were dating, after all. "Hey. What's up?" Alec answered once the phone call went through.

Jenny's heart clenched when she heard how tired he sounded. "Still busy with work?"

"Yeah."

"Have you had dinner yet? I can bring you some." Jenny knew Alec would forget to eat once he got busy.

To her surprise, Alec refused. "It's alright. I'll have Vincent get them for me. Get some rest. I promise I'll spend more time with you once work clears."

"Okay," Jenny murmured quietly, feeling sad.

As if sensing this, Alec's tone softened. "This will be over soon, honey. Promise."

"Mm...remember to go to sleep early. Your health is more important than work," Jenny responded. She wondered if she had just overreacted. Alec had just been really occupied these few days,

that's all.

Jenny went back to her apartment after hanging up. She dove into bed first thing after showering, determined to finally get some rest after days of worrying.

Back at the Faust Mansion, Alec sighed after hanging up from his call with Jenny. The man before him didn't wait for him to speak before saying, "What did I say about talking to her? I warned you!" Instead of answering, Alec gazed at his grandfather sitting at the side of the room. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Watch your tone with your grandfather, Alec Faust!" The man before him gritted out fiercely. Still, Alec ignored him.

Old Mr. Faust sighed. "He's your father, Alec. I...”

"I don't have a father!" Alec growled, face plunging darkly. "My father died years ago. You said so yourself."
