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
Jenny rolled her eyes. Alec was clearly the one who had told them. She'd wanted to tell them, but only after a while. But since Alec had already informed them, Jenny had no intention of covering it up. "Alright. I'm going to bathe.""I'll wait for you downstairs." Alec had woken up early, and he had already washed up. He just hadn't woken her up.Alec left the room. Jenny sat on the bed, staring into the distance for a while. Then, she got off the bed and went into the washroom.Soon, Jenny went downstairs. Alec was already waiting for her in the living room, and breakfast was ready on the table. This scene alone made it feel like they had already been married for a long time."Let's eat." Alec saw her coming downstairs and went toward the dining table.They ate, and soon they were on their way towards Walter Castle.Graham and Lynette were waiting for them. They were both feeling a mixture of emotions. Although they knew this day would come, it still felt too sudden.Their daug
Graham was straightforward. He didn't beat around the bush with Alec. He'd brought those two over that day to talk about this."Yes, Mr. Walter," Alec admitted, nodding. Everyone already knew about it."And since she has accepted your proposal, I suppose that you two are ready for marriage," Graham said, this time looking at Jenny.Alec obviously wanted to marry, but Graham wasn't so sure if Jenny wanted to. After all, she'd had a failed marriage before. He thought that she would take marriage more seriously.Jenny was stunned. She looked at Alec, who was looking right back at her. She was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded determinedly. "Yes. I'm ready to marry.""Good." Graham heaved a sigh of relief. Now he knew that Jenny was no longer concerned about her divorce. She had completely moved on.Lynette was sporting a somber expression. She'd said nothing yet. "When are you planning to marry?"She and Graham were planning to travel around the globe. But now that Jenny and Al
Graham was serious. Alec was just about to nod when Jenny said, "Dad, you're worrying too much. If he ever mistreats me, I'll punish him myself." She was never one to accept the crap that life threw at her.She'd already divorced once. She wouldn't be afraid to do it again."Don't worry, Mr. Walter. I'll treat her well." Alec honestly didn't know how else he could be good to her. He was already willing to give her his entire heart.Afterward, Graham and Alec talked about the rough concept of the wedding. Jenny wasn't too interested in these things, so she went for a stroll.It was summer, and flowers adorned Walter Castle. While Jenny admired them, footsteps sounded behind her. She didn't need to look back to know that it was Lynette."Jenny," Lynette said hesitantly.Jenny looked back and smiled. "What's up?""Have you really thought this through? Marriage is something that has to be considered carefully." Lynette was worried that Jenny didn't know Alec enough. She mostly heard
Jenny recalled Graham's attitude toward Alec and nodded. "He probably does. They're already talking about the wedding arrangements.""Really? That's great." Stephanie was happy. "Now it looks like you and Alec will marry very quickly.""Not necessarily. My dad insists on getting a priest to tell us when we should marry. Who knows what the date will be." Jenny knew what Stephanie was thinking. She wanted to solidify things between her and Leoanrd after Jenny and Alec married.Stephanie smiled. She didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "You should get a nice date. Your marriage from before was sloppy. Now you have to take it seriously."As Jenny's best friend, Stephanie wanted her to be happy. Hence, she didn't think there was anything wrong with waiting for a bit.They talked in the coffee shop until night fell over the city. Jenny had to check on Alec's condition, so she didn't eat with Stephanie.Back in the villa, Jenny didn't see Alec in the living room. She went to
Although Jenny and Alec had gotten engaged, it didn't make much of a difference to her. She still went to work the next day.Possibly because of Alec's donations, the hospital hired a few more doctors. Even if Jenny didn't see the patients, they would be able to be treated.Jenny was satisfied with this. She was much more relaxed now.At night, Jenny received a call from Graham telling them about their wedding date. Apparently, the only time they could marry this year was in three months. Jenny was exasperated. She knew that the date would be beyond their expectations.Three months. She told Alec about it, who didn't have much of an issue with it. Three months was enough time for the wedding dress and the rings to arrive."Jenny, since we've already decided to marry, and the date has been fixed, should we go to Parrington to see Grandpa?" Alec was a little embarrassed. He and Jenny returned from Parrington less than two days ago.Jenny didn't refuse. "That makes sense. We shoul
Warrens smiled and quickly went to make the arrangements. He soon returned to Old Mr. Faust's side. "You can rest easy now, Mr. Faust.""Yes, I can." Old Mr. Faust had held on for a long time because he was worried that Alec would end up lonely. Now, even if he left this world, Alec would have his own family."When they first divorced, I didn't think I'd see this day coming." Warren remembered arranging the wedding for Alec. Back then, he thought that it was all a pity. Jenny was such a good person, but Alec didn't know how to cherish her.Who would have thought that after so many years, they would still end up together, with a stronger relationship than ever before?Old Mr. Faust was happy. "I think that they're very compatible with each other. It seems that God thinks the same as I do.""Yes. You are wise indeed, Mr. Faust," Warren said.As they spoke, Jenny was finished checking on all the patients, and Alec had gone to the hospital to bring her home."Didn't I say you didn't
After dinner, Alec went to his study once more to work on his sketch.Jenny didn't disturb him. She read in her bedroom. However, Gilbert suddenly called. "Gilbert, what's up?""Well, it's actually nothing," Gilbert said, hesitant to continue.Jenny could tell that something was amiss and asked, "Gilbert, you can tell me anything. We don't keep anything from each other.""I just want to ask you if Marigold has been to your hospital to do any checkups," Gilbert said after taking a deep breath.Jenny was surprised. She sat up at once. "Gilbert, why are you suddenly so concerned about her?"After he gave her that paycheck, they cut off all ties. Jenny thought Gilbert was truly that cold and never brought up Marigold to him again. But now, he was asking about her on his own.Maybe Gilbert thought his actions were weird, too. When Jenny asked him that question, he didn't know what to say. "I'm just asking."Just asking? Jenny didn't believe it."Have you seen Marigold?" Jenny asked
