My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1736

Adrienne didn't know why, but when she heard Jefferson say that, she let out a sigh of relief. Her beating heart started to calm down.

Hodge coughed softly and said, "Jefferson, we are having a serious discussion. Please don't come in here and cause trouble."

"Mr. Hodge, I'm taking good care of Little Specky. You don't have to waste your efforts in looking for someone else," said Jefferson. In his hand, he was still wiping his body with his shirt. "With me taking care of her, you don't need to worry anymore."

"I'm even more worried since it's you." The sight of Jefferson made Hodge feel a headache setting in. He immediately pointed at Adrienne and said, "Jefferson, you better open your eyes wide and take a good look at Adrienne."

"I have my eyes wide open. Hmm." Not only did Jefferson look at her, but he also pinched her face. "She is a little ugly, but her skin is nice at least. It's smooth and firm."

After listening to Jefferson's words, Hodge got very dissatisfied. How dare Jefferson call Adrienne ugly?

However, that moment wasn't the time to debate Adrienne's physical appearance. Hodge wanted Jefferson to think she was ugly. "Yes, yes, you're right. Adrienne is as skinny as a stick. She has no sense of style either. All she wears is black clothes like an old widow. The degree of her glasses must be at least 500. Without her glasses, she's as blind as a bat. Furthermore, she wears glasses with such thick, heavy, black frames... No matter how I look at it, she doesn't deserve a man like you, Jefferson."

"Grandpa, am I even your granddaughter?" How could Hodge have insulted Adrienne that much in front of Jefferson?

Jefferson looked gleeful at that instant.

"Mr. Hodge, I know Little Specky is too ugly to be with me. I guess a woman who deserves me hasn't been born yet. What can I do? I can't stay single forever just because someone else is ugly, right?" He knew Hodge was just putting on an act and he was not buying it one bit.

He snuck closer to Adrienne and placed his face close to hers. "Mr. Hodge, take a good look at Little Specky's face, and then at mine. I promise you, if she marries me, we'll have a child together and your family genes will improve tremendously."

Jefferson was so arrogant, his nose was up in the air. Hodge only felt his blood reaching a boiling point, almost making him dizzy with anger. "Cough, cough, cough..."

"How unfortunate!" Hodge thought.

How could such a lovely and sensible girl like Adrienne be plagued by Jefferson?

Jefferson was completely unaware of his conceit. Perhaps he was aware but he was too narcissistic to care. "I'm right, aren't I?"

"Jefferson, this is none of your business. You can leave now." Adrienne forcefully pushed Jefferson out of the ward. If he continued to stir up trouble there, things would not end well.

After sending Jefferson away, Adrienne returned to the ward. Hodge, who was coughing his lungs out earlier, was fine currently. He looked at Adrienne with great interest. "Adrienne, did you refuse Zelson because of Jefferson?"

"Oh, why hasn't Mr. Zelson come back from getting water?" Adrienne deliberately changed the topic but Hodge did not fall for it. "Answer me, Adrienne."

Adrienne scratched her head and said, "Grandpa, you're overthinking it. There's no way I would ever date that monster. You know how he bullied me since I was a child."

Hodge said, "I don't care. You have to choose one of them today. If you don't want to choose, I will..."

He wanted to say that he would refuse to take his medication, but he couldn't bear to do such a thing to his granddaughter. In the end, he didn't say it out loud. Rather, he started to sulk like a child. "Adrienne, I want greatgrandchildren."

"Grandpa..."

How could Adrienne be in the mood to settle down with a partner and have children at this time?

However, Hodge insisted on the matter. "Adrienne, I just want to find someone to accompany you and share your burdens."

There were some things that he did not mention, but Adrienne understood.

Hodge was in poor health and always worried that he would suddenly leave one day, leaving her alone without anyone to take care of her.

Adrienne really wanted to make the old man happy, but getting married and giving birth to children was not a joke. It was a huge decision to make and she couldn't just treat it lightly.

Nonetheless, she really couldn't bear to see her grandfather sad. If she had found a man to have children with, would he be happy?

When Adrienne thought of this, the first man that came to her mind was Jefferson. Since they were married already, he should be alright with giving her a child, right?

At this time, Jefferson stopped Zelson outside the ward. "Zelson, right?"

Zelson didn't even look at Jefferson, let alone respond to him.

Jefferson didn't seem to mind and continued, "I'm warning you to drop whatever thoughts you have. Adrienne is my woman, so don't even think about it."

After saying that, Jefferson was about to leave, but Zelson, who had remained quiet all this while, said lightly, "I'm not just thinking about it."

Jefferson jerked his head back. There was a gleam of light in his usually carefree eyes; his glare was so piercing that it could suck out one's soul. "What did you just say?"

Zelson smiled and didn't say anything else. Then, he walked right past Jefferson.

After watching Hodge fall back to sleep, Adrienne came out of the ward with dread in her heart. As soon as she opened the door, the first person she saw was Jefferson.

He leaned against the wall, his upper body naked with a cigarette in his hand. Adrienne was bothered by this image and immediately stepped forward to take the cigarette out of his hand. "You can't smoke in a hospital. Don't you have any common sense?"

"I'll do what I want!"

Adrienne said with frustration, "Fine, fine. Do as you please then. It's getting late. Let's go back first."

Jefferson stretched out his arms and grabbed onto Adrienne's waist to pull her into his arms. "Let's go home."

Adrienne did not struggle; perhaps because she was used to his severity. She obediently remained in his arms and rested her face against his bare naked chest. This made Jefferson itch and he silently called her a 'tempting seductress' under his breath.

On the way home, Adrienne was so sleepy that she dozed off in the passenger's seat. Jefferson stopped the car by the roadside, covered her with a blanket, and then continued driving.

After more than half an hour, they arrived home. However, Adrienne still did not wake up. Jefferson carefully picked her up and said, "Little Specky, I keep referring to you as a pig all the time and now you really have become one." Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Adrienne was in a really deep sleep. Despite his insults, she did not awaken.

Jefferson was tempted to bite her to wake her up, but when he saw her dark circles under her glasses, his heart ached. He held her tightly to his chest; her head resting right where his heart was.

He had married such a silly woman. If he didn't treasure her, how will he avoid their divorce?
