Chapter 173 Get Me Into Trouble With Him

After Old Mr. Faust left, the atmosphere in the living room became tense. Jenny checked the time and

decided to leave as she needed to pack her belongings for the trip tomorrow.

She stood up. “It’s getting late. I shall excuse myself.”

Alec followed suit. He walked over to her. “Grandpa told me to take you on a walk around the Old

Mansion. If you leave right now, you’ll only get me into trouble with him.”

“I won’t…”

“Cool. If so, follow me. It’s just a walk around the grounds. Do you even worry about that, Dr. Walter?” He

insisted aggressively without giving her a chance to leave.

Jenny was reluctant to be shown around the house, especially if it meant spending time alone with Alec.

She turned to Yvonne and said, “Miss Dickman, why don’t you join us? I don’t want to cause any

misunderstanding.”

“Sure-” Wonne answered.

“Yvonne isn’t that petty. There won’t be any misunderstanding.” Alec cut Yvonne off.

Her expression crumbled, but she quickly put on a smile. “Alec’s right. Miss Walter, enjoy the walk. I’m

fine.

Speechless, Jenny glanced at Alec, who now stood tall and victorious. She nodded with a smile.

“Alright.” Even though her eyes gleamed with resentment, it didn’t bother Alec. The pair walked into the

backyard, leaving Yvonne staring at them and gritting her teeth.

In the backyard, Jenny followed right behind Alec, praying she could get home soon. The tour was

unnecessary, for she had visited the Old Mansion countless times. It was merely Old Mr. Faust’s attempt

at matchmaking. She wondered about the reason behind his stubbornness, given that she was

incompatible with Alec.

Deep in thought, she didn’t notice that Alec had come to a stop and promptly bumped into him. “Ouch!”

she gasped and looked up, only to find him staring at her.

He flashed her a half-smile and asked, “Are you looking to get intimate, Dr. Walker?”

She said nothing and rolled her eyes at him, hoping that she had made herself clear. His expression fell,

and the smile was wiped off his face. “Why go to the countryside and work at the free clinic?”

She would be posted there for three months-the thought of not seeing her suffocated him.

“Mr. Faust, is everything okay? I told you it was the hospital that made the assignments. Dumbfounded,

she refused to engage in further conversation and turned around to leave. However, he grabbed her

wrist and trapped her on the spot.

“But you could turn down the assignment!” Although he had little clue about the details of the rural free

clinic program details, he was confident that the hospital would not force Jenny to participate if she

turned it down.

“Why would I?” she fired back, thinking he was being ridiculous. How could he grill her on unimportant

details when his fiancée was sitting in the living room?

“He’s such a jerk!” she thought.

“Are you running away from something?” He gave her a deep look as though he wanted to read all her

secrets.

That hit a nerve in her, and she raised her voice. “Running away? Why don’t you tell me what I’m running

away from?”

“You can’t accept the fact that I’m marrying Yvonne. That’s why you need to run away.” He looked at her

intently, desperate to force an admission from her.

Jenny, as expected, would not confess and tell him what he wanted to hear. Instead, she shook off his

grip and bellowed, “Are you sick in the head? What does your marriage have to do with me? You damn

narcissist!”
