Chapter 1144


    Chapter 1144 Do I Get A Choice


    She no longer turned the pages of the book she was reading. She merely stared at him as if she just


    couldn’t get enough of him.


    Her gaze was scorching. Even Alec, who was preupied with work, could feel it. However, he said


    nothing and pretended not to notice. He kept on working, albeit a little distracted.


    While preupied, Jenny had gone up to his desk. She knocked on his table. “You’re daydreaming.”


    Alec looked at her. Right now, Jenny looked mesmerizing. “Your gaze was distracting me.”


    “Are you done with work?” she asked.


    “I’m fine,” he replied.


    Jenny smiled. “Fine?”

    “Well, if you’re nning on doing something afterward, I’m done with work. But if you’re not nning on


    doing anything, I’ll just keep on working.” Alec’s words were straight to the point. His actions proved to


    be even more so.


    Instantly, Jenny was pulled into his arms. “Which one are you choosing?” he asked.


    She leaned against his solid chest, hearing his heartbeat. She blushed. “Do


    I have a choice?”


    She was already in his arms. He was merely teasing her with the illusion of choice.


    Alec kissed her lips fiercely and passionately. Jenny responded in kind. She was picturing this while


    staring at him from the couch earlier.


    Their kiss grew deeper, and soon, they began losing their clothes. Everything else that happened


    afterward was on natural instinct.


    Jenny fell asleep on the ne. When she woke up, the ne was already beginning its descent.


    “Are you awake?” Alec closed shut the document in his hands. “We’re about to touch down.”


    “Didn’t you sleep?”


    Alec leaned in toward her and said softly, “I wasn’t tired.”


    Jenny rolled her eyes and scolded him for being a pervert. He didn’t mind.” Why should I be all proper


    around you?”


    “I can’t be bothered with you.” Jenny ced her attention elsewhere. For whatever reason, her ears


    had turned red.


    Alec didn’t tease her anymore. He turned solemn. “Once we’ve seen my grandfather, I’ll take you to


    Orchid Vige.”


    Their trips back home would only grow less frequent. Alec wanted to take Jenny to her hometown.


    Jenny was stunned. She hadn’t even considered it. “Okay.”


    The people she knew in Orchid Vige had basically all gone, but she still wanted to go there. She’d be


    able to pay her respects to her grandfather, too.


    “Is Grandpa really not nning to stay with us in Bardoff City?” Jenny was worried. Old Mr. Faust


    wasn’t in good condition.


    Alec sighed. “I’ve tried talking some sense into him, but he isn’t willing to move.” Alec could actually


    understand him somewhat. After all, Old Mr. Faust had lived his entire life in Parrington. That was his


    home. It was only natural that he wouldn’t want to leave.


    Besides, he was growing weaker. Perhaps he was afraid of dying in a city that did not raise him.
