To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 373

Chapter 373 The Past Doesn't Matter

"I...I wasn't..." Morgan stammered.

"She didn't ask me; I volunteered to help," Jenny explained.

Alec eyed her curiously and replied in a gentle tone, "That's kind of you."

"Why? Something wrong with my decision?" Jenny asked, starting to become irritated by Alec's attitude toward Morgan.

The three continued eating through the tense atmosphere. It was especially tough for Morgan, who felt the air was so thick she could cut through it with her knife.

"Stay out of the Goldings' business. I'll handle it," Alec finally said.

It shocked Morgan to the core.

"What? Think I can't handle it?" That large dent in the Goldings' accounts wasn't a big deal to Alec like it was to most people.

Jenny turned to Morgan to see what she might think. But Morgan herself was still reeling in gratitude for all the offered help.

"I know you can handle it, but..." Jenny sighed. "I just think it's better if I take care of things."

Morgan might not know why Alec was helping them, but Jenny knew it was to prevent herself from having to spend her savings. That's why she was refusing his help.

"You?" Alec questioned, not getting angry at her response. "Looks like I've underestimated how much doctors make these days."

"Maybe I have other passive sources of income." Jenny side-eyed him. "Plus, I can always ask for help from Zack."

"Why not let me handle it?"

Jenny set her silverware down. "I want to do this for Morgan, so I don't want to trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all." Alec shrugged. It was just money.

Jenny swallowed, then insisted, "I just wanna help her myself."

"Alright. As long as you're happy," Alec said, shrugging. He could always step in if Jenny needed help.

Just like that, things were settled without Morgan even having a say.

After Alec left the Jenny's place, Morgan slid over to her side and asked, "Jenny, are you and Mr.

Faust..."

"Yes. We're dating." Jenny nodded. It was pretty obvious.

Morgan nodded, now curious. "But didn't you guys divorce?"

"It's...complicated. All you need to know is that we're dating, that's all. What happened in the past...

isn't important anymore."

Morgan nodded solemnly, no longer pushing the topic. "Then why turn down his offer to help? Wouldn't it be easier if he did?" Having Alec help would not only support them financially, but it would also show Parrington that they had the Fausts' faith.

"I just...didn't want to trouble him."

Frankly, Jenny wasn't sure if her relationship with Alec would last, especially after what Yvonne had told her.
