My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1740

"Dumb*ss!" Jefferson mocked.

"Only you-"

Before Adrienne could finish her sentence, Jefferson once again shut her up.

Even though they were in the police station, and Quill and others were watching them, Jefferson acted as they were all invisible. He domineeringly pressed his lips against Adrienne's.

His kiss was as barbaric and unreasonable as his personality, which made Adrienne resist him.

Adrienne felt very scared and tried to push him away, but it was useless. It was not until he had enough of the kiss that she escaped from his arms. "Jefferson, what the f*ck are you doing?"

Adrienne's face was flushed red as she felt angry and ashamed. She stomped on his foot and then ran away.

Quill and the others did not recover from the shock after witnessing the scene until Jefferson's voice sounded, "You guys have all seen what just happened, but don't spread nonsense, okay? Especially in front of Adrienne. Don't make her feel awkward."

Adrienne rejected Jefferson in her heart, and she refused to let anyone know about their relationship. No matter how brazen or unreasonable Jefferson was, he still had to care about her feelings.

Quill was a smart man; that was how he got to his current position after all. He asked, "Did something happen just now?"

"Sergeant Scott, you've received a call.," a police officer chimed in.

"Really?" Quill looked at Jefferson and said with a flattering smile, "Mr. Hefner, I have work to do, so I won't see you off. Please have a safe journey home. You are welcome to visit again next time... Oh, no, no, no. You are even welcome to inspect our work if you wish."

"A bunch of useless good- for- nothings," Jefferson muttered.

The difference in the way they treated him before and after knowing who he was was too big. Thus, he looked down on them.

Unexpectedly, Adrienne didn't run off, but she was waiting for Jefferson by the entrance of the police station. Her face was still looking upset; she was obviously furious earlier.

He strode to her side and naturally put his arm on her shoulder, but she immediately swatted his arm off. "Don't touch me!"

"You won't let me touch you, yet you're still waiting here for me. You really are a dumb*ss," teased Jefferson with a careless smile.

Adrienne gave him a ferocious look and retorted, "Who said I'm waiting for you?"

"Who else are you waiting for then? Are you waiting for some other man?" asked Jefferson as he shrugged his shoulders.

However, the person who answered his question wasn't Adrienne, but Zelson who was just coming out. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Zelson was still expressionless, and there was no trace of joy or sorrow on his face. The moment Jefferson saw Zelson, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He forcefully pulled Adrienne into his arms and said, "Adrienne, do you think I am transparent? I am standing right here while you're busy meeting other men."

Adrienne elbowed him in the ribs and reminded him, "Jefferson, you'd better not provoke me."

Jefferson wondered why Adrienne was acting so boldly that day.

Then again, most of the time, she did bend to his every will. But, if he really did trigger her too much, she would bite back at him too.

He had experienced it before.

Even so, Jefferson wasn't the kind of man to back down. If he were, Adrienne wouldn't have had any clue about him liking her for so many years. All this while, she thought he was out to get her.

"Hey, Little Specky, who gave you the guts to be so rude in front of me?" Jefferson scolded playfully.

Adrienne did not want to pay attention to him. She pushed his hand away and walked toward Zelson. As soon as she took a step, she was dragged back by Jefferson. "Adrienne, I dare you to take another step forward."

Adrienne stayed silent.

Looking at this scene in front of him, Zelson remained poker-faced. He looked at Adrienne and informed her lightly, "Adrienne, if it's inconvenient for you, let's talk another day."

Like a mother hen protecting its chicks, Jefferson dragged Adrienne behind him as he replied, "She won't be free to talk on any other day either."

Zelson did not respond to Jefferson. He smiled at Adrienne and turned around.

As soon as Zelson left, Adrienne was so angry that she once again stomped on Jefferson heavily. "Jefferson, will you only be satisfied if I lose my job?"

"You have to deal with the dead every day here anyway. What's the big deal in losing this job?"

"Jefferson!" Adrienne roared his name and suddenly, her eyes turned red. She was about to cry, but she looked up and tried to hold back her tears. She paused for a long time before she continued, "Jefferson, will you only be satisfied once you've driven me over the edge?"

Jefferson was stunned. For the first time ever, he didn't know what to say back to her.

Adrienne sniffed and suppressed her grievances and discomfort. "I know you hate me. Since I was a child, you've hated me a lot. You constantly think of ways to set me up and I'm sure you wish I were dead. I know this, but I'm begging you, please just let me go for now. When I find the person who murdered my parents, I'll disappear from your life and I won't bother you anymore."

"What do you know?" Jefferson suddenly laughed bitterly. "Adrienne, you idiot. What the f*ck do you know?"

He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but she always thought that he just had it in for her.

After saying that, Jefferson stormed off.

Adrienne was mad, too. She had no choice but to stomp her foot on the ground.

He was the one who had angered her, but somehow, it ended up with her making him mad.

"Is there any justice in the world?" she thought to herself.

Since Jefferson had left, Adrienne had to drive herself, but she didn't return home. Instead, she headed to the hospital to visit her grandfather.

Before entering the ward, Adrienne adjusted her mood. She didn't want the old man to worry about her. But the moment she spoke, Hodge could still tell something was off.

Hodge patted the top of her head. "Adrienne, are you sad?"

Adrienne tried hard to put on a smile. "No. I'm alright."

Knowing that she was trying to act tough, Hodge did not dig any deeper. Instead, he changed the subject. "Adrienne, last night, I hadn't thought things through thoroughly and arranged a date for you. After thinking about it more, I mean, it's the 21st century we live in, after all. There are plenty of people who are unmarried and don't have children. As long as you live happily, it doesn't matter whether you get married or have children or not. So don't take what I said to heart. Just live your life how you want to."

Hodge was already in his seventies. No matter how open-minded he was, he still had old-fashioned ways of thinking ingrained in his mind. He obviously still wanted Adrienne to get married and have children. Adrienne knew he had said all that because he didn't want to pressure her.

He was always considering her feelings. How could she be so selfish as not to take his into account as well?

She smiled and answered, "Grandpa, in fact, I have a man I want to marry and he is also the man I want to have a baby with. I will bring him to see you formally one day."

Hearing this, Hodge was so happy that he grabbed Adrienne's hand excitedly. "Adrienne, is it true?"

Adrienne nodded. "Of course, it's true."

Hodge was as happy as a lark and danced with joy. "Adrienne, you're such an amazing child. Which man has caught your eye? He

must be very blessed."
