My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1867

"Otherwise..."

Adrienne finally recalled. It was not that she did not know what to say, but he did not give her a chance to say it. When she parted her lips and wanted to say it, Jefferson kissed her again.

She should have known long ago that Jefferson was a bad guy!

Jefferson, who was teasing her, smiled with pride. He commented, "Little idiot, are you still not going to admit that you're a little idiot?"

Adrienne was speechless.

It was obvious he was winning because of his strength. It had nothing to do with whether she was a little idiot.

Jefferson rubbed her head with a smile and urged, "Ask Quill about the exact location and time."

Adrienne did not understand for a moment. "What location and time?"

Jefferson scolded, "Little idiot!"

Adrienne quickly responded, "Oh, I remember it now. You want me to ask the time and place of the celebration party. Does it mean you're going to attend it?"

Jefferson retorted, "What else can I do?"

Although he could ignore their invite, he couldn't do that to this little idiot. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Adrienne asked, "Are you sure?"

"If you ask another question again, I might actually change my mind," Jefferson sighed helplessly.

Adrienne answered, "Okay, okay, I'll ask him now. But you really don't have to force yourself to do the things you don't like. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Adrienne's words, Jefferson was delighted. "Just because you said so, even if there is a sea of fire ahead, I will jump into it without any complaints."

Adrienne immediately scolded, "You better not! I don't deserve that."

Jefferson replied, "Little idiot!"

Mangrove Bay was a famous bar street in Chatterton Town. Because of its good location and environment, it attracted people from all walks of life. Slowly, it became a famous sceneryviewing spot in Chatterton Town.

Quill and the other officers were always busy with work so they seldom came. However, thinking that there would be an honored guest that evening, they chose a high-end restaurant where they could eat, drink and enjoy the night.

"Quill, we're thinking of ordering these. What do you think?" Even if Quill was no longer the Paramount Criminal Police Team's captain, the other officers were already used to asking for his opinion. Everyone knew that he was someone they could rely on.

"I'm not familiar with Captain Hefner's preferences, so I don't know what he likes to drink. Why don't we order a few different ones and see what he likes? Then we can order more of those later." Quill patted his head when he spoke. "No, let's see what Dr. Carter likes. Then we will order more of that."

"If Dr. Carter doesn't drink alcohol and only drinks fruit juice, are we all going to drink juice too?" Someone protested strongly. "Quill, although Dr. Jacob has left and that Dr. Carter is now leading the forensic department, we can't be doing everything according to her taste, right?"

If she were just an ordinary doctor, Quill naturally wouldn't care much. However, she had Jefferson as her backer. He argued, "What do you know? Just do as I say."

"Could it be that something is going on between Captain Hefner and Dr. Carter?"

Someone mentioned this, and Quill realized that he had spilled the beans, so he quickly stopped them. "What could be going on between them? Stop your random guesses."

However, now that the topic had started, it was impossible to stop it. The other officers ignored Quill and joined in the gossip.

"Are they a couple?"

"Friends-with-benefits?"

"Or..."

They couldn't stop talking. Quill tried to stop them several times but to no avail. When Jefferson arrived with Adrienne, he answered loudly, "We are married!"

"Married?"

Many of them didn't react in time and continued to chirp, "So they knew each other before this? How could they be married? I don't believe it."

"Captain Hefner, you're here." Quill was the first to notice that Jefferson had arrived but the others continued to gossip without realizing Jefferson's presence.

Jefferson pulled Adrienne to the middle of the crowd and then informed solemnly, "I have known Dr. Carter before this, and we're a legally married couple. Is there a problem with that?"

Jefferson's words silenced the crowd. Then, everyone shook their heads at the same time. "No problem! There's no problem at all! It's amazing!"

"Since you guys don't have a problem with it, then don't talk about it behind my back ever again. What I hate the most in my entire life is people who talk behind other people's backs," Jefferson warned.

Everyone went silent again.

"I came because Quill invited me. I also want to give you guys a chance to know me," Jefferson added.

Everyone was still silent.

He swept his cold eyes over everyone present and continued, "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, nor is it that I want to dampen your enthusiasm for work. At our current speed of solving cases, we shouldn't be celebrating."

Indeed, it was considered fast to be able to solve a case in two days. However, they still had another case in hand that hadn't been solved. They were not qualified to hold a celebration party here.

Therefore, everyone remained silent.

"Of course, I know that the purpose today is not to celebrate but to welcome me as the new leader. I understand your kind thoughts. Therefore, this will be an exception. There's no need to please me with such activities in the future," Jefferson reminded.

Everyone replied, "Yes, Captain Hefner."

Jefferson went on, "All of you should work hard from now on. If your work is excellent, your superiors including me and the citizens will definitely see it. It is our duty to protect the peace and safety of our city."

Jefferson's words were flawless. Even Adrienne felt that this was not something that he would say normally. She couldn't help but look at his face and saw his serious expression. It seemed that this man knew his identity very well. There was no need for her to worry about him.

Jefferson made a toast, "Take your time and enjoy the night. I have something else to attend to tonight, so I'll excuse myself first. However, let me know how much you have spent tonight. You guys can claim it from me tomorrow!"

Having said so many words, the very last sentence garnered the greatest reaction. As soon as Jefferson finished his words, everyone on the scene shouted, "Long live Captain Hefner! Long live Captain Hefner!"

This group of people was really realistic. They were praising him as soon as he mentioned that he would pay the bill.

He did not want to become the center of attention so he waved his hand and beckoned everyone to be quiet. "I'm leaving now. You guys can enjoy yourselves here. But I'd like to remind all of you to drink reasonably. No one is allowed to be late to work tomorrow."
