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.

'TH 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, finding 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, finding 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.
