To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 474

Chapter 474 Zero Trustworthiness

The brakes sounded, and the car stopped at the side of the road. Jenny was about to ask Alec what was going on when she saw him looking at her intently. His look seemed to suggest that she had hurt his feelings.

"I should be the one feeling hurt," Jenny thought.

'Jenny, am I such a terrible person in your eyes?" Alec asked in a low voice after some time; the tone of his voice was indescribably sad.

The sight of Alec looking so broken tugged at Jenny's heartstrings, but she still smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Alec; your trustworthiness is basically zero."

Alec smiled bitterly, knowing that this was all his own doing. "I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize to me, even if you really had ulterior motives at the beginning, I don't care. After all, I know you meant it when you showed me you genuinely loved me, and I really did feel happiness during those times."

She looked at Alec with a faint smile as she said that. However, those words cut at Alec's heart like knives, bringing him immense torment.

"Jenny..."

"It's getting late. You should continue driving back."

Jenny withdrew her gaze and no longer looked at Alec but at the scenery outside the window again. It was as if she didn't want to continue talking. Alec felt helpless, and he didn't know how to explain everything to her.

After all, the fact remained that he'd known about it for some time and didn't tell her.

The car started again. After a short while, they arrived at the Perry Residence. They walked into the elevator one after the other, but no one spoke. Soon, Jenny arrived at her door, and Alec felt that if he didn't say something, he would lose his chance.

"Jenny," he called out to her.

Jenny turned around and looked at him inquisitively.

"I like you, and it has nothing to do with your background. Sometimes I hope you were really an ordinary person, and that would make everything so much easier." He smiled wryly, with a bit of helplessness.

If Jenny were an ordinary person, he could like her, and no one could say anything about it. Unfortunately, she wasn't, so it became much more difficult for them to be together.

Jenny looked at him and saw the sincerity in his eyes, but she couldn't believe in him anymore. "Maybe. Actually, I don't really care whose child I am. I just want to find out the truth."

In her heart, her only family was her grandfather and her two brothers. As for her biological parents, she couldn't care less. Since she had no feelings for them, they naturally didn't matter.

"I understand." Alec nodded, knowing that Jenny must be serious.

"Do you...trust me?" Alec looked at her, feeling apprehensive, afraid that Jenny could no longer trust him.

Jenny smiled and replied, "If you were true to yourself, why would you care whether others believed you? Isn't it enough as long as you have a clear conscience?"

Alec smiled bitterly. What Jenny said sounded reasonable, but it was easier said than done. He felt that he hadn't come to that point, and there was no way for him to not care what others thought, especially when it concerned the person most important to him.

Unfortunately, Jenny had already walked into her condo, leaving Alec standing outside alone.

Jenny lay on the sofa, not wanting to move at all. The truth she'd been pursuing for a long time finally revealed itself. However, she wasn't as happy as she thought. On the contrary, she kind of hoped it was fake.

She didn't care about being one of the Walters of Bardoff City.

At that moment, her phone rang. Jenny looked at it, and despite her exhaustion, she still answered the call. "Gilbert."

"Jenny, I'll be back soon. What do you want? I'll make sure to buy it for you."

Gilbert was still as gentle as ever, but sadly, Jenny couldn't be as carefree as she used to be.

She didn't speak, and Gilbert immediately noticed something was off." What's wrong? Did something happen?"
