To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 663 My Cup of Tea

Blake felt a little sad hearing him say that, but she still insisted and said, "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider that?"

"No, I don't." Alec's reply was decisive.

"Would you consider it if it was us?" Blake looked at him, her eyes sincere.

Alec was stunned as he was surprised to hear that from her. "Are you serious?"

"Of course I am. Didn't I tell you before that I have feelings for you?" Blake crossed her arms and looked at him, smiling. She felt a mixture of feelings internally and was far from as calm as she appeared. She never expected that she would fall in love with a man one day and would even confess her feelings to him. On top of that, she was nervous and afraid that he didn't feel the same way. She was Blake Watkins, a respected psychologist and a daughter of the Watkins family. She had countless admirers and never thought she would be groveling for someone's affection one day.

Alec looked at her and spoke up after a while, "I'm grateful that you saved me before, and I will remember that favor for the rest of my life, but-"

"Stop." Blake interrupted him, lifting her hand. "I know what you're going to say. You've misunderstood me. What I meant was that we pretend to be together," she quickly explained with a smile, although she felt bitter inside.

"What do you mean?" Alec was obviously more interested in this proposal, thinking Blake must have her reasons for saying this.

Blake didn't know whether to be happy or sad that he was interested. She sighed and elaborated, "You're not given any importance within the Fausts right now, so if you want to get more support, you have to increase your value. You may be capable, but no one will support you without a powerful family backing you. Suppose you and I are in a relationship, outsiders will naturally think that you have the support of the Watkins, and the attention on you will increase, giving you a chance to showcase your abilities."

She didn't doubt Alec's abilities, but in a place like the Faust family, having abilities doesn't necessarily equate to having the opportunity to put those abilities into action. There were too many people who wanted to do the same in the family. Compared to Zeke's sons and grandsons, Alec, who was considered an outsider, didn't have much value.

Alec fell silent. He seemed to be contemplating Blake's words seriously.

Blake didn't hurry Alec, believing that he was a smart person who would make a choice that was favorable to him.

After a while, Alec slowly said, "Why are you helping me like this? What do you want in return?"

"I've told you before-after you secure the Fausts, you'll help me take control of the Watkins in turn. So, what I need to do now is to do everything I can to help you take over the Fausts; otherwise, everything we've talked about so far is just empty talk," Blake replied.

Alec thought that this reason was only marginally acceptable. He couldn't help but feel that if Blake was really interested in taking over the Watkins, she didn't have to choose him.

He looked at her and asked, "If that's the case, why don't you choose Luke or Julian? They have a greater chance of success, don't they?"

They were both Zeke's biological grandsons. In the eyes of outsiders, they were the most likely to inherit the Fausts' wealth and power. Even if they couldn't inherit it now, they would still inherit it after their father's death.

"Well, unfortunately, they're not as handsome as you." Blake smiled, her slender fingers tracing Alec's face. "You're my cup of tea."

Alec's face darkened right away. "If you're not taking this seriously, I won't agree to it."

Blake was speechless, thinking Alec was so tenacious that it was scary. "They all look down on me, so they won't collaborate with me," she answered.

To the Fausts, the Watkins were nothing special. Luke and Julian wouldn't consider working with the them. Even if they were willing to marry someone from the Watkins, they would never agree to collaborate with Blake.
