To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Going Against Him

Next to Gilbert stood a woman wearing a pearl-white gown. She looked exceptionally elegant with her long hair, scarlet-red lips, and perfect white teeth. Except for the exquisite bangle on her wrist, she wore no other accessories. But even so, just her standing there was enough to captivate the crowd.

Alec was no exception.

He was stunned by her beauty every time she appeared. Although he had already decided not to inquire about her, he couldn’t help but want to learn more about her.

“Mr. Hawthorn,” Mr. Nelson greeted him with the broadest grin on his face. However, he wondered,” What’s going on? How come all the big shots decided to show up today?”

Gilbert nodded in response, “Mr. Nelson, I hope we’re not intruding on your dinner?”

“Of course not!” Mr. Nelson shook his head. He couldn’t help but glance at Jenny, who was standing beside Gilbert.

“This woman is so pretty. I wonder what her relationship with Gilbert Hawthorn is. Maybe I could sign her as a model for BQ Magazine?” he thought.

Feeling Mr. Nelson’s direct gaze, Jenny didn’t back down. Instead, she looked at him and smiled. “Hi, Mr. Nelson.”

“Hello, hello!” Mr. Nelson nodded. He looked at Gilbert with a curious gaze. “Mr. Hawthorn, this is your…?”

Gilbert lowered his head slightly to look at Jenny with an affectionate look in his eyes. He answered quickly, “My little sister.”

“Oh, I see,” Mr. Nelson was shocked. He suddenly remembered Alec’s little sister just now. What a world of difference it was between the two.

“Gilbert, let’s go sit. The auction is about to start very soon.”

Even though she knew that Gilbert felt indignant on her behalf, Jenny felt there was no need. Since she had already divorced Alec, she didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore. She also didn’t want Gilbert to offend Alec because of this.

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s about to start.” Mr. Nelson nodded. It felt kind of suffocating being sandwiched between these two guys.

Mr. Nelson led the four of them to the first row. After allocating their seats, he found an excuse to leave to avoid getting involved if the two men decided to get into a fight.

Coincidentally, all four of their seats were right next to each other. Jenny and Gilbert went ahead and took a seat. Faye planned to sit next to Jenny, but she didn’t expect that Alec had already made a move and sat down next to Jenny. Faye bit her lip, reluctant to see the two sitting next to each other.

Jenny didn’t expect Alec would sit next to her either. She subconsciously shifted closer to Gilbert, creating distance between her and Alec She had initially planned to cut ties with Alec Combined with that incident with the Walker family, she despised him to the core. She just wanted to get as far away from him as possible. Her movement triggered Alec. Was she deliberately trying to go against him?
