Chapter 285 I Owe My Life to You
At that moment, Jenny shone brightly in Alec’s eyes. He stared at her admiringly for some time. “Jenny.”
Feeling touched and excited, he asked, “Does that mean you’re willing to be my girlfriend?” “No.” To his
disappointment, she shook her head. She added, “I need more time for observation.”
His eyes lit up, and he grinned. “Sure. I can wait.” As long as she was working toward accepting his
feelings, he could afford to wait.
Jenny changed the topic and brought up the factory, “I will have someone draft a new agreement and get
it delivered to you. You’ll own 40% of the shares, just like before.”
“I don’t need that many shares. 10% is enough for me,” he replied. He no longer turned down her offer,
but he refused to accept all the shares. Seeing her frown, he explained, “You deserve the factory. It was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarigold who wanted to take your life. You’re worth more than the factory.”
If Paul were not a friend, Alec would have gotten everyone in the Wagner Family to make it up to Jenny.
and even that would not have sufficed.
“But…I owe my life to you.” She flashed a bitter smile. It seemed that she was more indebted to Alec
than she had thought.
“That’s a different matter. Don’t use the shares to make it up to me.”He chuckled. “You’ll have to marry
me if you want to repay me for saving your life.”
Jenny rolled her eyes at his unserious attitude despite being injured. “You’d better rest well. I’m waiting.
for you to make dinner for me.” She walked to the door and waved at him before leaving.
He was euphoric after Jenny left. Finally, he could see the fruits of his labor-Jenny had started to open
her heart to him. With time, he would eventually get her to accept his love.
When Vincent arrived at the room, he was shocked by the stupid grin on Alec’s face.
“Mr. Faust, are you alright?” Vincent secretly worried about the future of the Faust Group for a second as
Alec looked like he was wrong in the head. He started thinking hard, even when he was ignored by Alec.
Soon, he seemed to figure it out. “Has Miss Walter agreed to be your girlfriend?”
That was the only thing that could evoke such joy in Alec.
“Not yet,” Alec answered. Vincent looked puzzled. “If so, why are you…”
“Soon.” After some thinking, Alec decided to share the details of Jenny’s response with Vincent because
he lacked confidence in reading her reaction. “Do you think she’s going to say yes to me soon?”
“Yeah.” Vincent nodded. “I think Miss Walter is hinting that your confession is not formal enough. It’s too
casual.”
“What do you mean?” Alec sat up straight and put on a serious face. Vincent almost burst out laughing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven since Alec fell in love with Jenny, he seemed to have changed in a good way. He was more
approachable compared to his icy personality from before.
“Girls love a romantic confession. I think Miss Walter expects the same too.” Despite being single for his
entire life, Vincent expressed his opinion freely. Alec fell silent and gave it some thought. Indeed, he had
always asked Jenny to be his girlfriend in a casual manner. Perhaps, that was the real reason she
refused to accept his confession!
He perked up after making sense of the situation. “What do you think I should do?”
“Um…” Vincent looked embarrassed. “I’ve never confessed to any girl in my life.” He had never had a
crush on anyone his entire life, so he lacked the experience to offer any advice.
“Draft ten proposals for me within today,” Alec instructed, overlooking the fact that Vincent was
inexperienced in relationships. Vincent was about to tell him so, but he shut his mouth after hearing what
Alec said next.
