To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 10 Mr. Faust’s Love Life

that no one was allowed to even speak about her.“Stop changing the subject! Why are you angry?” he asked, staring at Jenny, trying to see through her.Unfortunately for him, Jenny was good at hiding her emotions.“I’m not angry,” she said. Then, she added, “I just feel that it’s unfair for your ex-wife, Mr. Faust. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing and frustrating for her to be gossiped about behind her back even after her divorce?”She was, in fact, upset. No one would be happy to hear someone talking about them behind their back.“I didn’t marry her of my own will, which is why Faye feels upset for me. She doesn’t mean anything else,” Alec explained.Before Jenny could say anything, he continued, “Although I haven’t met her, I think she’s a good person, but we’re just not compatible.”After all, his ex-wife hadn’t caused him any trouble in the past two years.

His meaning was clear. He was giving her a chance, so she shouldn’t be ungrateful.Jenny was playing hard to get? Hearing that, she was rendered speechless. Was her resentment toward him not evident enough? Was Alec out of his mind?She quickly concluded that Alec was mentally impaired.“Mr. Faust, please check your brain when you have time. Actually, I can arrange a check-up for you right now. After all, we should be wary when the health of our brains is concerned.”“Dr. Walter!” he said through gritted teeth. “Are you saying you’re not playing hard to get?”“I’m not,” she replied without hesitation. “I’m not interested in you, Mr. Faust. Remember what I said in the ward? I don’t like people with the surname Faust.”With that, Jenny walked away, leaving Alec with his heart flooded with anger, embarrassment, and doubt.Having confirmed that Jenny was
