To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 286

Chapter 286 I Will Complete the Mission

"111 double your year-end bonus."

Vincent instantly became invigorated upon hearing the reward. He declared with a righteous air, complete the mission."

He thought, "Sure, I might have lacked the experience, but so what? I can run some searches on the Internet. If I run out of ideas, I can ask for the advice of those in Faust Group with relationship experiences. There has to be something I can come up with."

"I will

After Vincent left, Alec continued his work but struggled to focus because he was constantly distracted by his thoughts of Jenny. Smiling wryly, he never thought that he'd be so smitten with a woman.

It was late when Old Mr. Faust visited Alec at the hospital. He barged into the room in a great hurry and looked at Alec with unspoken worries in his eyes.

"Grandpa? Why are you here?" Alec remembered that he had clearly informed Vincent to keep the hospitalization a secret from his grandfather. In the end, he still found out about it.

Fuming, Old Mr. Faust glared at him. "Why can't I visit you? As your grandpa, do I not have the right to learn about your injuries?"

"Grandpa, I don't want to worry you." Alec smiled at him in an attempt to calm him down.

Old Mr. Faust puffed and said, "You don't want me to worry about you? It seems like you think you're not giving me enough to worry about."

"Grandpa!"

"If you really don't want me to worry, you shouldn't have put yourself in harm's way. Aren't you afraid of dying?" Old Mr. Faust was incensed at Alec's nonchalance. Alec fell silent as he couldn't find any good explanation for his behavior. When Marigold wanted to run Jenny over, his only goal at that instant was to ensure Jenny's safety. He drove his car into Marigold's without thinking about the consequences.

Old Mr. Faust sighed at Alec's silence. "I know you did that to save Jenny, but....you need to treasure your life."

"Grandpa, I know. Don't worry about me. I'll be more careful in the future," Alec assuaged him to stop him from worrying.

Still, Old Mr. Faust was unrelenting. He stared at Alec and shook his head. "I can no longer tell if a relationship with Jenny is better or worse for you."

"Grandpa, why did you say so?" Alec was confused by his words, but he was sure things were not as simple as they seemed.

Old Mr. Faust sighed without saying another word. He had insisted on matchmaking Alec and Jenny because he knew about her real background. When Jenny rejoined her powerful birth family, her connections would be of great help to the Fausts. However, all of that would not have mattered if Alec had to sacrifice himself for her.

Judging from the situation, Old Mr. Faust assumed that Jenny would only meet with more obstacles down the road. He dared not picture his foolish grandson throwing himself again and again in harm's way to protect her. It was an unimaginable scene. If anything bad happened to Alec, Jenny-the ace card with powerful connections-would be meaningless to him.

"Alec, now that I think about it, I don't care if you're not interested in Jenny. You don't have to like her just because I want the two of you together." Finally, Old Mr. Faust chose to protect his grandson. Upset at his remark, Alec frowned. "Grandpa, what do you mean by that? Do you think my feelings can be changed as you wish?"

"Alec..."

"Grandpa, I'm an adult with my own opinions," he cut him off. "I can tell you that Jenny is the woman I want. From now on, I will be with her whether or not you approve of our relationship."
