To Be Yours Again novel (Jenny and Alex)
Chapter 1272 One Room?

As the three of them ate, Alec didn't speak the whole time. His purpose in coming there was actually very simple. He wanted to remind Joey that Jenny was already taken. Alec hoped he wouldn't say something he shouldn't.

After dinner, although Joey was reluctant, Jenny and Alec still left, leaving him standing in the same spot, watching the two leave.

"I'll definitely work hard to be worthy of the Walters!" He silently vowed as he watched Jenny's back disappear from his view.

In the car, Jenny glanced at Alec. "I don't understand why you had to come along. Was it really just for a free meal?"

"Can't I do that? I thought the restaurant just now was pretty good," Alec joked and laughed, replaceing it amusing.

Jenny rolled her eyes at him. She found it hard to believe Alec's words. "Cut the crap and tell me the truth. What's your real purpose?"

"What purpose could I have? I just came to remind someone not to have inappropriate thoughts." Alec raised an eyebrow.

Jenny was stunned as she stared at Alec incredulously. "Alec! You're not jealous, are you? Joey is still just a kid. What were you thinking?"

"A kid? Have you seen a child who's eighteen?" He'd checked Joey's information before coming there. He was already an adult! He was a far cry from being a kid like what Jenny claimed.

Jenny didn't know what to say. She just thought Alec was overreacting. "Even if he's eighteen, he's still a kid in my eyes, and he's much younger than me."

"I know you see him as a kid, but how can you be sure he thinks the same way? Maybe he has other ideas." This was his tactful way of saying that he was one hundred percent sure that Joey had other thoughts. He just didn't dare to say it out loud.

Jenny felt that he was overthinking things and tried to reason with him. "Alec, Joey only sees me as an older sister. You shouldn't think of him that way."

Seeing that Jenny was a little unhappy, Alec didn't continue arguing with her.

"Alright, alright. I was wrong. I'll drop it now. Shall we go home or keep walking?" He changed the subject, replaceing arguing with Jenny about Joey unnecessary.

Jenny had initially been a little unhappy. However, since Alec didn't keep pursuing the topic, her unhappiness dissipated.

"Let's continue walking," she said.

Alec had no objection and instructed the driver to take them to the nearest street food area. He intended for them to eat as they walked. The two of them wandered around the street for a long time and didn't return to the Old Mansion until it was very late. At that time, Old Mr. Faust had already gone to sleep.

"Mr. Alec, Madam Jenny, your room is on the second floor," Warren said.

Jenny hesitated and asked, "One room?"

"Yes, the other rooms are filled with many miscellaneous items and haven't been tidied up yet," Warren lied without batting an eye.

It wasn't that the rooms hadn't been tidied up, but that Old Mr. Faust had given him the task of ensuring that the couple rested in the same room no matter what, under the pretext of increasing their affection. Not even Alec believed it, let alone Jenny.

However, he knew what his grandfather was trying to do and didn't expose the lie. "One room is fine. Jenny, you don't mind, do you?" he asked Jenny intentionally, wanting to see if she would say that she minded.

Jenny couldn't bring herself to say it, especially since Warren was watching her. "How about...we clean up another room now?" she suggested.

"It's very late now. If we start cleaning up, it might wake Mr. Faust. He'd always been a light sleeper," Warren said.

Jenny rubbed her temples, knowing exactly what the butler meant. "Okay, then we must at least clean one room tomorrow."

"Okay, okay. I will arrange for the servants to clean it." Warren breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, he managed to fulfill the task assigned to him that day.

As for tomorrow, he would deal with it when the time came.
