To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1257 Are You Helping Me Bathe?

Jenny parked the car outside the villa and hauled Alec out of the car with all her might.

Alec was truly drunk this time. In fact, he was losing some of his consciousness. However, there was a smile on his lips. He knew who was next to him.

"Jenny, do you know how happy I am?" He smiled, murmuring.

Jenny smiled. "I do."

Anyone would be able to tell based on what he was like now.

Once she carried him into the room, she threw him on the bed and sighed in relief. "You have to cut down on the drinks in the future. I'll let this pass tonight, but I won't care about you in the future." It was tiring carrying someone so wasted around.

"Alright. I promise." Alec rubbed his forehead, sitting up with great effort.

Jenny saw that he wasn't drunk enough to pass out, so she said, "Go shower. It'll be uncomfortable sleeping in that state."

"Will you help me?" Alec asked instinctively.

Jenny glared at him. That was her answer.

Alec smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Then I won't take a shower. No one would help me if I slipped on the tiles."

"Can you be a little more appropriate, Alec?"

Alec was still pretty alert. Even if he was drunk, he wasn't as drunk as all that. He didn't care and lay on the bed once more. "I honestly can't get up, Jenny. I'll shower tomorrow."

"Alright. Rest well. I'm going off to rest, too." Jenny didn't want to bother him anymore. She was on the verge of sleep.

When he heard that she was going to leave him, Alec's eyes shot open. He waved at her. "Come hug me, Jenny."

Jenny didn't move. "No. You need to sleep."

Verbally, Alec just wanted a hug. But who knew what he really wanted to do?

"I just want a hug, Jenny. I don't think that's much to ask," Alec said.

Jenny saw that he was serious and didn't refuse. "Alright, but it's just a hug. If you play any weird tricks, I'll be mad."

Besides Alec, who was drunk, she was exhausted this time of the night. She had no energy at all to be doing anything else. Alec was satisfied to have hugged Jenny.

"I love you, Jenny." He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. The smell of alcohol wafted from behind her.

Something moved Jenny's heart. "Go to sleep. I'll be here with you."

"Okay." Alec agreed and soon fell asleep. It was as if he slept easier with her by his side.

Jenny could tell, based on his breathing, that he was deeply asleep. "We will be happy," she murmured. Then, she closed her eyes and dozed off.

The next morning, Jenny awoke and was about to turn over when she felt someone was embracing her. Her mind cleared, and she remembered she was accompanying Alec to sleep last night. "Are you awake?" Alec could feel her trying to move.

Jenny murmured in response. "What time is it?"

"It's Sunday. We don't have to go to work," Alec reminded her.

"Oh." Jenny had forgotten.

"Let's see your parents at Walter Castle after breakfast." Alec sat up.

Jenny was bewildered. "Why?"

Alec was embarrassed but said, "They know that I proposed, and they want us to have lunch with them."

Not only that, but to talk about the wedding, too.
