Chapter 50

Jenny POV:

As we finished discussing the details, Alex joined my family for a meal. Afterward, I escorted him outside, the warm sun casting a gentle glow on our faces. We stood facing each other, the sound of birds chirping in the distance.

"Don't take my dad's words to heart," I said, my voice soft. "He can be overprotective when it comes to me."

Alex's smile was calm, detached. "I understand. I'll leave now. Take care, and see you soon, wifey." He turned and entered the sleek Rolls-Royce, the man in black following closely behind. The car glided away, leaving me standing alone.

I returned inside, where Dad paced back and forth, his footsteps echoing through the room. "Dad, are you okay?" I asked, concern etched on my face.

"This man...I don't know if I can trust him," Dad said, his brow furrowed.

I placed a reassuring hand on his arm. "Dad, Alex assured us he means well. Believe him."
