Chapter 296 Not Easy
Jenny met Justin and Lilian in the village. Happy to see her, they gathered around her, asking, “Jenny,
are you here to bring us back?”
“Yes, I found a good family for you. You will live a happy life with them,” Jenny replied, patting their
heads.
The children felt sad to hear that, especially at the thought of calling someone else their parents.
Nonetheless, they kept their thoughts to themselves because they knew it was the best choice for them.
Along the way back, they met many acquaintances, and Jenny greeted each one.
“Jenny,” an old man called, his head full of white hair.
Jenny immediately turned around and was surprised to see her teacher. She quickly approached him,
asking, “When did you come back? I thought you had gone on a trip?”

your boyfriend?”
man
“No.” Jenny shook her head. “He’s just a friend who came to the village with me. We’re staying here for
two days.”
“Oh, I see.” The old man nodded a few times before adding, “I think he’s not bad. I’m sure he’s a hundred
times better than the man who divorced you. Don’t be sad over your ex-husband, Jenny. You’re such a
catch; surely, many men are interested in you.”
Jenny found the whole situation hilarious. She wondered how her teacher would react if he found out the
young man he was praising was her ex-husband. Nonetheless, she didn’t volunteer that information. If
she did, Alec might not leave the village alive.
Alec, on the other hand, was extremely embarrassed. However, he could only laugh with the man, too
afraid to say a word.
“Jenny has gone through a divorce at such a young age,” Felicity whispered to him. “It will be difficult for
her to find a partner in the future. Don’t you think women should respect themselves instead of marrying
young, Alec?” She looked at Alec, trying to point out that Jenny was a divorcee while she was not.
However, he ignored her and even stepped aside to keep a distance from her.
Felicity fumed, but her anger was directed at Jenny, not Alec. Why did all the fine men like Jenny?
Felicity thought she wasn’t too bad herself. She concluded that Jenny must have seduced Alec.
After Jenny’s conversation with the old man ended, they headed back home.
“Was he your teacher?” Alec asked. He had heard from Jenny that a few of her teachers and mentors
were from the village.
Jenny nodded in response. “He taught me martial arts. Don’t be fooled by his appearance. His skills are
so formidable that I still can’t beat him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fooled by his appearance? Our guy looks exactly like a master of martial arts.” Alec felt that Jenny was
being too modest. At a glance, he could tell that he was a force to be reckoned with.
Jenny rolled her eyes. That man was her teacher, who had nothing to do with him. Was he trying to act
close by referring to him as “our guy”?
“By the way, how did you learn to fight?” Jenny was curious. She had learned martial arts since she was
young, was it the same for Alec?
“My grandfather threw me into the military camp and hired several instructors to train me. So, I started.
learning since I was a child,” Alec answered, not withholding any information from her.
Jenny nodded. It seemed that his journey wasn’t easy, either.
“Why do girls need to learn martial arts? It’s not elegant at all!” Felicity said scornfully. She had been
silent
all this time and finally found a chance to interrupt the conversation.
