บททั้งหมดของ To Be Yours Again: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

"Why? She saved you." Alec gave her a stern look, which was different from his usual gentleness.She smiled bitterly and looked at him. "Why? What do you think?" She raised her voice and growled, "Alec, don't you know my feelings after all these years?"He frowned with displeasure. "I recall telling you early on that you're only a little sister to me—nothing more than that."He thought she had understood his stance because she hadn't brought up the topic after that. Who would have known?"True. You have rejected me from the start." She nodded, the smile disappearing from her face. "But I love you. How can I possibly give up on you?""And that's why you attacked Dr. Walter?" He frowned again. "You should've come for me instead. What does she have to do with our relationship?"She wiped away a rogue tear that almost slid down her cheek. "Alec, I know you too well. Even though you're reluctant to admit it, I could tell that Dr. Walter is special to you from the way you treat her. Bu

"Faye took a flight abroad an hour ago," he confessed defeatedly, watching as Jenny became angrier by the second. He didn't want their relationship to worsen, but he had to protect Faye.Fuming, she attacked him out of the blue. "Alec Faust, you're asking for it!"His eyes flickered, and he dodged her attack swiftly. "Calm down…"She launched her second attack while he was pleading. This time, she went all out."Calm down? How can I calm down?" she thought. The two fought in the cramped living room space, but Alec was mostly on the defensive instead of attacking her.Ten minutes later, Jenny was visibly exhausted, while Alec remained calm and composed. Even his hair was in perfect shape. The next minute, she came to a stop and lazily combed through her hair. "Your skills are better than I expected."From a young age, she had trained to quickly and aggressively defeat opponents under an expert, and she had been nearly invincible since. Alec's excellent combat skills came as a surp

As Jenny drove out from the parking lot, Steven met up with Yvonne at the airport. He pointed in Jenny's direction and said, "She's that woman.""She does look attractive," Yvonne remarked and nodded."I looked into Jenny Walter—she's a doctor at Parrington Hospital and has a good reputation." He smirked, looking unbothered. Yvonne was surprised. "Oh! She's not just a Barbie doll, then."Right. Alec would never fall for a Barbie doll.While driving, Steven muttered nervously, "Alec called away the bodyguards at the entrance this morning. I think he's done putting me under house arrest."That should have been a good news, but Steven felt uneasy about the sudden change. Hence, the first thing he did after he was free was to hurriedly fetch Yvonne from the airport."He's about to make a move on our family." She stared at her phone screen, which was showing their free-falling stock price since the morning. Alec must have had something to do with this.Steven was slightly taken aback

Alec struck Yvonne as unfamiliar. Two years away from home, and she felt like she had left for a decade. She could barely recognize the man in front of her."I'll have him apologize to you in person and promise you that he wouldn't do it again," she offered out of desperation when she realized Alec would not let this slip. Still, he refused to accept the suggestion and said, "He shouldn't be apologizing to me."Her expression froze in disbelief. "You're telling him to apologize to that woman?""Shouldn't it be so?" he questioned with a cold expression and frosty tone. Yvonne thought Jenny was undeserving of such treatment and almost blurted out her thoughts, but she caught herself on time. Whatever was in Alec's mind, he clearly cared about the woman at this moment, and she couldn't get on his bad side.A short silence later, she nodded. "He should. I'll get him to come over for an apology. But what about her…""I'll relay it to her. It's up to her whether or not to accept the apology.

Jenny remained quiet throughout his apology, watching them like they were part of a play. When the three of them turned to look at her, Jenny smiled softly, saying, "Since you're so sincere, I have no choice but to accept your apology, Mr. Dickman.""If you're not happy with it, you don't have to accept it," Alec said.Jenny shook her head. "I'm happy. After all, it's not easy for Mr. Dickman to apologize."She heard Steven let out a soft snort, and she assumed that he must be agreeing with her. Suddenly, Jenny looked at the siblings before her with renewed interest."I'm going to the restroom," Steven announced, looking at the coffee stains all over his shirt resentfully.Yvonne nodded and told him to hurry back. Finally, she turned to Jenny, saying, "You're lucky that Alec stood up for you, Miss Walter. Not everyone gets to enjoy a privilege like that."Despite the hint of sarcasm in her words, Jenny's expression didn't change. Alec, however, was a little agitated."Yvonne, sh
