To Be Yours Again by Taylor

Not understanding the reason behind Jenny’s taunting tone, Alec answered solemnly, “We were incompatible, so divorce was the best choice.”

Incompatible? Jenny sneered secretly. How could he tell they were incompatible when they had never even met once in the two years they were married? It seemed that he never intended to get along with her from the very start. After all, Alec thought his ex-wife was a country bumpkin, unworthy of a man of his status.

Her eyes swept over them as she snorted, “Well, I pity your ex-wife, Mr. Faust.”

Then, she left the ward without looking back, refusing to stay with them for a moment longer. Alec and Faye were truly fated to be together, she thought to herself.

However, the moment she stepped out of the ward, someone chased after her. With his tall, looming figure, Alec stood before Jenny, asking, “Are you angry because I was married before?”

“You’re overthinking, Mr. Faust,” she replied, somewhat dumbfounded. “What does your love life have to do with me? I think it concerns the patient in this ward more than it concerns me.”

“Why are you bringing Faye into this? What does she have to do with this?” he asked, unable to comprehend what she had just said.

Thinking that he was annoyed that she mentioned Faye, Jenny pouted and said, “Aw, of course, Miss Lawrence has nothing to do with this. I shouldn’t have mentioned her!”

He was really protective of his lover, so much so that no one was allowed to even speak about her.

“Stop changing the subject! Why are you angry?” he asked, staring at Jenny, trying to see through her.

Unfortunately for him, Jenny was good at hiding her emotions.

“I’m not angry,” she said. Then, she added, “I just feel that it’s unfair for your ex-wife, Mr. Faust. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing and frustrating for her to be gossiped about behind her back even after her divorce?”
