Chapter 48 What Kind of Person Is Your Ex-Husband?

The next morning, Jenny tiredly climbed out of bed. After being tormented by her empty stomach last night, she knew she couldn’t afford to sleep through breakfast. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

As she walked toward the kitchen, the doorbell sounded. She was a little surprised. Who would come knocking at this hour?

She opened the door, a little hesitant. When she realized it was Alec, she was so stunned that her jaw slackened.

What was he doing here?

“Have you eaten?” he asked.

Jenny shook her head. Right as she was wondering what he was doing, he stepped in with a pack of food. The restaurant’s name, The Crispy Buns, was clearly branded on the packaging.

Jenny knew about The Crispy Buns. It was a really popular place in Parrington. People said their food smelt amazing, and she had always wanted to try it.

Could Alec be bringing her breakfast?

“Eat it. It’s still fresh.” He put the food on the table.

Jenny didn’t move. She had to stand there for a long time before acknowledging that this was not all just a dream. “You’re… you’re bringing me breakfast?”

“Don’t overthink it. I wanted to eat it too. This was just an afterthought,” he answered. His voice was cold. It didn’t sound all too friendly.

Was she the one overthinking?

She walked over hesitantly. Seeing the food, she felt like this wasn’t real. “I didn’t know you were so nice, Mr. Faust.”

Her words were a little sarcastic, but she truly did think that he was a nice person.

However, Alec hadn’t heard her sincerity. A smile appeared briefly on his lips. “You’re just blind. I’ve always been nice.”

Jenny scoffed to herself.

They ate in silence as they ate. Neither of them spoke.

Jenny suddenly remembered the information that she had found last night. She glanced at Alec, and he caught her looking.

“Just say it,” he said.

She didn’t hold back. “Aren’t you going to accompany Ms. Lawrence? Aren’t you afraid of her getting jealous?”

Alec put down his fork and looked at Jenny. He was unusually serious. “It’s not what you think. I think of her as a sister.”

A sister? More like a mistress.

“Does she think of you the same way, Mr. Faust?” she asked.

“Why are you bringing her up?” Alec noticed how weird she was acting. She was not a nosy person.

Jenny was quiet. She wasn’t planning on letting Alec know what she had discovered yesterday.

Faye dared to plot behind her back. Of course Jenny had to retaliate.

But Alec didn’t need to know all this. He would back Faye up. Telling him was equivalent to committing. suicide.

She said nothing. Alec did not press on and changed the topic. “You… mentioned a divorce before. Is this

true?”

When he met Jenny at Fig Garden, she had used divorce as an excuse to reject a doctor from their lab. At first, he thought she was making excuses, but what Paul uncovered yesterday made him realize that it was not an excuse. It was the truth.

Jenny looked at him. If Alec was asking this, it meant that he already knew something.

She was not surprised at all. She just didn’t expect that he still didn’t know that she was his ex-wife even after finding out about her divorce and, naturally, her name.

It seemed that he had paid absolutely no attention to that wife of his for those two years. He didn’t even

know her name.

“Yes.” She nodded.

“You…” He wanted to ask her something, but the words couldn’t leave his mouth.

“What do you want to know?” She put down her utensils and smiled at him.

He hesitated for a while, then said, “I just didn’t expect that someone would neglect to cherish a woman like you.”
