Chapter 1777
Adrienne moved to the right awkwardly. Jefferson shot daggers at her and warned her in a dangerous tone, "Little Specky, don't you dare move again."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Jefferson!" Since Jefferson stepped into the room, he had never looked at Eunice. He had never intended to take the initiative to talk to her. Thus, she had to talk to him first.
Jefferson's eyes fell on her, but as soon as he spoke, he made everyone present speechless. "Eunice, don't call me as you like from now on. I'm not related to you and I don't have time to deal with you."
Jefferson had always been like this and he had never spoken nicely to anyone except for Adrienne. Everyone was used to it and did not think that he was mean. But, Eunice was still so embarrassed that her face fell.
Adrienne noticed it and secretly nudged him. She didn't know if Jefferson did not understand, but he glared at Adrienne and grunted, "If you have something to say, say it. Why did you hit me?"
Adrienne was dumbfounded.
Eunice's smile faltered further.
The atmosphere of the gathering turned tense because of Jefferson's attitude.
Soon, the waiter knocked on the door and came in. One after another, the dishes were served.
When everyone was trying to ease the atmosphere, Jefferson ordered again, "Serve the soup first and give her a bowl of it."
Sure enough, he was referring to Adrienne.
Jefferson not only told the waiter to fill Adrienne's bowl with soup, but also put Adrienne's favorite dishes in front of her.
Adrienne was often taken care of by Jefferson. She just accepted his help naturally and did not feel anything wrong about it.
These small details were unsightly for Eunice. She tried so hard to have Jefferson, but she couldn't even get near him.
As for Adrienne, she had never worked for it but she could get all his attention and care.
All these years, Eunice had been thinking about the reason.
After thinking about it for so many years, she still couldn't understand why.
Adrienne was slightly younger than them, that's all. What was the difference between her and Adrienne other than age?
There were many doubts that Eunice couldn't figure out, but she tried to keep her emotions in check. Since Jefferson put the dishes that Adrienne liked in front of her, she helped serve the food. "Adrienne, you are so thin. You should eat more meat."
She put a piece of pork onto Adrienne's plate, but Adrienne could not eat it. After she performed an autopsy, it was repelling for her to eat meat. Among these people, Jefferson was the only one who knew it.
Since Adrienne did not know how to refuse, Jefferson reached out his arms and snatched Adrienne's plate away. He handed it to a waiter who just came in and ordered, "She doesn't eat meat, give her another plate."
Adrienne didn't eat meat?
As soon as Jefferson's words were spoken, the others' gaze was focused on Adrienne. Tommy spoke without a second thought, "Adrienne, when did you stop eating meat?"
They grew up together. How could they not know that Adrienne did not eat meat?
"Sorry! I'm going to the bathroom." Eunice tried to smile but she still couldn't hide the tears in her eyes. She got up and hurriedly left.
As soon as Eunice left, the rest of them turned to Jefferson. Although they dared not scold him, their eyes were full of blame as they stared at him.
"Jefferson, Eunice just returned today. Can't you be more polite to her? You almost made her cry." Adrienne looked at him disapprovingly, then left for the bathroom.
"I..." Adrienne angered Jefferson. Thus, he could only vent his anger on the others. "Tell me truthfully, did I say something wrong?"
Freya hesitated for a moment and felt that she should voice out her opinion. "Jefferson, we know that you have eyes for Adrienne only and there is no room for Eunice at all. But, can you turn her down in another way?"
Hearing what Freya said, Jefferson nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I'll tell her directly that I don't like her. I'll tell her not to use Little Specky to ask me out."
The other four raised their hands and rubbed their temples.
Oh my, there was such a man in this world. No wonder he couldn't win the girl he adored. They all had the same thought.
When Jefferson saw that the others were silent, he added discontentedly, "This won't work either? Then, what do you want me to do?"
The other three men turned their eyes to Freya again and let her be the representative. Freya had no choice but to say, "Jefferson, you'd better not turn her down in front of us. Why don't you find another time to meet Eunice alone and have a good talk with her?"
"Talk? What is there to talk about with her? I've told her before that I won't like her... But, she said that it doesn't matter whether I like her or not, and I can't deprive her of her right to like me. It's her freedom to like someone." Back then, Jefferson was furious about this. It was also because of that that he never met Eunice alone again.
Freya asked, "Jefferson, does Adrienne like you?"
"Of course..." As soon as Jefferson said it, he gradually became less confident. To be honest, he didn't know what kind of feelings Adrienne had for him.
"Jefferson, Adrienne must have also rejected you before..." Freya continued. Seeing that Jefferson's facial expression did not change, Freya took a deep breath quietly. She mustered the courage to carry on the sentence, "You have not given up, either. Instead, you follow her around every day. Wherever she is, you will be there."
"Bullsh*t! What's the relationship between Adrienne and me? What's the relationship between Eunice and me? They are not the same." Jefferson felt a little guilty. Was he in Adrienne's eyes the same as him in Eunice's eyes? Was he annoying?
Tommy chimed in, "We all grew up together." After he said that, he felt a cold gaze landing on him. He quickly stated further, "But we all know that you and Adrienne are the closest. You even helped her change her diaper when she was a child."
"I've lost my appetite because of your words. I don't want to eat anymore!" Jefferson felt slightly nervous. As soon as he put down his cutlery, he got up and walked to the bathroom. He didn't intend to eavesdrop, but he stopped outside the women's restroom .
The door of the women's restroom was not tightly closed and the conversation inside reached the ears of Jefferson.
Eunice was asking, "Adrienne, you don't like Jefferson and you hate him for bothering you all the time, right?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"I..." Adrienne didn't expect that Eunice would say that. Before she could speak, Eunice cried out, "Adrienne, I like Jefferson. I have always liked him. I have liked him for many years, but he is unwilling to talk to me. Can you let him know on my behalf?"
