Chapter 299 She’s a Divorcee

A little surprised, Jenny asked, “What is it?”

“I was wondering how your life here was,” he replied, looking into the distance.

Jenny smiled at his reply. “I guess you must imagine I’ve had a hard time here after what you saw today.”

Alec didn’t answer, as her guess was spot-on. His heart had throbbed with pain and anger when Jenny

had not retaliated to Hannah and Felicity’s taunts. He couldn’t imagine how hard life had been for her

when she was young.

“Well, it wasn’t hard at all. When Grandpa was still around, my life was great,” she replied, grinning.”

Felicity and her mother didn’t dare to provoke me back then and always avoided me.”

Alec frowned, unconvinced.

“Also, Gilbert and Zack always protected me. They protected me so much that even the stray dogs in the

village were afraid of messing with me,” Jenny said, laughing as she recalled those nostalgic days.

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Alec felt a little sad. “Then, did you regret going to Parrington to

marry me?”

Jenny turned to look at him. “A little bit. However, it was Grandpa’s last wish, so I had to do it anyway.”

And there was no way she would have stayed in the village forever. Eventually, she would have to grow

up and move out.

“I’m sorry, Jenny,” Alec said. “I owe you a proper apology.”

“Hey, it was ages ago, yet you’re still talking about this. There’s no need for that.” Jenny waved him off,

refusing to make eye contact with him. For some reason, her eyes were tearing up.

“Let me protect you from now on. I’ll never leave you again,” he said, suddenly changing the topic.

The night was silent, save for the sound of a gentle breeze. The moonlight illuminated the ground,

allowing her to see him clearly. Perhaps it was her surroundings that stirred something within Jenny.

“-”

“Alec!” Felicity shouted, pushing open the door to the courtyard. When she saw Jenny standing so close

to Alec, jealousy consumed her. “What are you two doing?” she questioned them.

Jenny frowned. Meanwhile, Alec was livid. He was certain that Jenny would have agreed if she hadn’t

been interrupted. Suddenly, he had half a mind to murder Felicity.

Instead of answering Felicity’s question, Jenny asked, “Why are you still up? It’s already so late.”

“I…I came to see Alec, not you,” Felicity replied rudely, not pretending to be nice to Jenny.

“Alright, you guys talk. I’ll go to bed first,” she said, shooting Alec a playful look. Even a fool could guess.

why Felicity was looking for him.

Felicity scoffed as she watched Jenny leave before smiling at Alec.

“Alec, you can’t sleep? Let’s chat for a while, shall we?” she suggested, approaching him shyly.

However, Alec looked at her disdainfully, saying, “Miss Wilkins, I don’t want to embarrass you since

you’re Jenny’s cousin, but please have some self-respect.”

“Alec-”

“I’m not interested in you,” Alec said bluntly.

Felicity took a step back, but she was reluctant to give up. “Then, who? Jenny?”

“Yes, I like her.” Alec felt that there was no need for him to hide it.

Clenching her fists, Felicity fumed, saying, “She’s a divorcee. What do you even like about her? Alec,

don’t be fooled by her!”
