Chapter 287 I Don’t Blame You
Standing outside the room with an insulated food container in her hand, Jenny listened to Alec’s words.
She felt glad and conflicted at the same time, not knowing whether to enter the room.
After listening to what Alec had to say, Old Mr. Faust’s expression sank, and he fell silent for a long time.”
Do you still want to be with her even if it would cost your life?” he sounded distant and unhappy.
Alec nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
Old Mr. Faust gave him a long look and finally sighed in defeat. “Whatever. Do what you want.”
Alec heaved a sigh of relief after his grandfather yielded. “Grandpa, you don’t have to worry. I’m not that
weak. I can protect Jenny and myself.”
Underneath Old Mr. Faust’s silence, he had come up with a plan. He couldn’t afford to wait, for no one

in greater trouble if her birth family’s enemies found out about her before anyone else.
Old Mr. Faust was uninterested in Jenny’s reunion with her birth family. Still, he had to start caring
because Alec’s safety was on the line. He decided that he had to leak the news of Jenny’s existence to
her birth family in Bardoff City in the hope that they could reunite soon.
“Rest well. I’ll leave now.” Once he arrived at a decision, he immediately took leave.
“Is that all? You didn’t even ask about my injuries.” Dumbfounded, Alec wondered if his grandpa was
truly there to visit him, but his protests were ignored.
Judging from Alec’s confident look, Old Mr. Faust knew well that he was fine. So, he had no more
questions to ask. He opened the door and found Jenny standing on the other side. “Oh, Jenny! Are you
okay?”
“Grandpa, I’m fine.” She stood there embarrassed. She had been thinking of hiding somewhere, but Old
Mr. Faust gave her no chance to do so when he opened the door without warning.
He closed the door behind him and smiled at her. “You heard what Alec said, didn’t you?”
“Grandpa, I didn’t…”
“I know you didn’t eavesdrop on purpose.” He smiled gently without any intention of blaming her. “But
you overheard him. Is that right?”
She bit her lips and nodded. Looking satisfied, he advised her earnestly, “I can’t deny that Alec has
mistreated you in the past. But you can tell his feelings for you lately. Right?”
She nodded at him.
“I’m the one to blame for everything that happened in the past. I forced him to marry you, and I
understand his resentment toward me. That doesn’t mean he was right.”

marriage. His chilling indifference to his wife was a mistake that couldn’t be glossed over.
Staring at Jenny anxiously, Old Mr. Faust asked, “So, Jenny, do you still refuse to give him a second
chance?”
She wondered how to break it to him that she had decided to give Alec another chance. She found it
difficult to tell him the truth. After a pause, she blurted out, “Grandpa, I appreciate all he has done for
me.” He sighed. “That’s good. He’s my grandson, after all. It’s hard not to feel bad for him. I’m really
worried, especially after he almost risked his life a few times to save you.”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I…”
“I don’t blame you. That kid is willing to sacrifice anything for you.” Zachary waved at her. He didn’t need
an apology.
