To Be Yours Again By Taylor

Chapter 83

Chapter 83 He’s Crazy

With some liquor in hand, Max recalled how Jenny had scolded Alec at the Perry Residence. All he could think of was Jenny’s last words. She was Alec’s ex-wife?

While he knew that Alec was a divorcee, he never imagined that he and Jenny were once married. It confused Max greatly as Alec was clearly interested in Jenny. So, why did he get a divorce?

He glanced at Jenny, who was sitting opposite him in the local eatery. At the sight of her upset expression, he grinned and asked, “Are you still angry?”

“Why would I be angry? I just think Alec is crazy.”

“Did Alec think she harbored feelings for him? He was one big narcissist,” she thought.

“I think he’s crazy too,” Max said, agreeing with her. “But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Are you really Alec’s ex-wife?”

Jenny grunted, not denying it.

“Why did he divorce you?” Max asked, failing to make sense of the situation.

“His ‘sister’ and his childhood sweetheart are always around him, so he has no room in his life for a wife? Isn’t it only expected that he would get a divorce?” Jenny asked, pouting mockingly.

Max, however, disagreed. From a man’s perspective, he could tell that the other women didn’t sway Alec. “Did he treat you badly?” he asked.

Jenny shook her head. Perhaps she had downed too much liquor as she hid nothing from Max. “For the two years we were married, we never met. I can’t say if he treated me well or not.”

Max finally understood the situation. Alec didn’t know who Jenny was at first. After he fell for her, he realized she was his ex-wife.

He suppressed his laughter as he drank, reveling in the situation Alec had brought upon himself. Recalling how angered Alec had been and how he had left without a word amused Max greatly. Looking at Jenny, he asked with a grin, “Why don’t you consider going out with me? If you do, I guarantee that Alec will collapse in anger.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Jenny rolled her eyes at him, replying nonchalantly, “Who cares? His feelings have nothing to do with me.” “Really?” Max raised his eyebrows. “I thought you would want to see him in a sorry state.” “Wanting to see him in a sorry state and going out with you are two separate things,” she replied.

While Alec was not a good person, Max was no better. However, Max had not offended her yet and had even helped her on several occasions, which was why he didn’t receive the same treatment as Alec.

Hearing that, Max looked disappointed. “Ah, what a shame.”

Jenny didn’t pay him any mind. She continued drinking, trying to drown her frustration.

Meanwhile, Alec didn’t return to the Perry Residence after Jenny scolded him. He went for a drive around Parrington River.

Although his anger had subsided a little, he was still irate. Before he realized it, he found himself pulling into the Faust Mansion. It was the place Jenny and him were supposed to stay, but he never visited it once during their marriage nor after their divorce.

“Mr. Faust?” The attendants stared at him in disbelief when he suddenly appeared.

Alec gave them a nod before entering. Although no one lived there, a few housekeeping staff were inside, and they all greeted him.

“Please carry on with your work. I’m just here to take a look.” Alec waved them away. “Mrs. Langston, please stay back. I’d like to ask you a question.”
