Chapter 1902
Even though Jefferson had thought of a hundred ways to beat Adrienne up, those thoughts crumbled down when Adrienne turned around and hugged him right after they had sent Freya home.
Adrienne threw herself into his embrace and wrapped both her arms around his waist. She nuzzled her head against his chest continuously, and said in a soft voice, "Jeff, I'm exhausted. Let me hug you, okay?"
Could Jefferson reject her?
Not only had Jefferson's anger dissipated, he also wished to immediately caress his Little Specky with love. "Since you're tired, let's go home now."
Adrienne mumbled, "But I can't even move a single inch."
Jefferson didn't say anything but immediately picked Adrienne up by the waist and strode to the parking lot.
After doing it the whole night before and again that morning, Adrienne went to the Civil Bureau and even kept Freya company at the shopping mall for a few hours. How could she not be tired?
If it weren't for her being worried of Freya, Adrienne definitely would not have left the house.
Instead, she would have lazed around at home to her heart's content.
Jefferson gently set Adrienne down in the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt, saying, "You should catch up on some sleep in the car. I'll wake you up when we're home."
"Okay." Obediently, Adrienne closed her eyes and wanted to take a short nap, but she didn't know why sleep did not come to her even though she was clearly exhausted.
She opened her eyes again and turned her head to look at Jefferson who was in the driver's seat and was buckling his seatbelt with one hand. All of a sudden, she found that Jefferson looked better than she had thought before.
Jefferson noticed her gaze and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Adrienne reached out to touch his face and said, "Mr. Hefner, why didn't I think that you were this good-looking before? You're so good-looking that I want to have you all to myself, and not let others see you."
"Little idiot, you'd better not stir me up, or you'll suffer the consequences." Adrienne probably didn't know that she was playing with fire. Since she was bold enough to say those words, then she must be mentally prepared for the consequences as Jefferson's self- control was downright atrocious whenever it came to her.
Adrienne used her soft little hands to stroke his face affectionately. "I've given all my savings to you, and the name of my spouse on the marriage certificate is also you. So why can't I touch you?"
"Yes, you can!" Jefferson unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over, held Adrienne's head with one hand and kissed her.
Adrienne's mind had gone completely blank as he kissed her. She then heard him saying, "Just keep stirring me up, I won't mind it."
Adrienne quickly reared to the side. She really couldn't afford to provoke him! This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
After kissing her, Jefferson started the car with a guffaw. How could his Little Specky be so cute? He thought.
Adrienne was speechless.
Did he need to be so happy just from being able to kiss her?
She had even slept with him. Come to think of it, she was the one who had taken advantage of him.
After the long kiss, Adrienne didn't feel sleepy anymore.
On the way home, a train of images flashed through her mind. The images consist of scenes of her childhood friends, including Freddy and Freya, but most of them were images of Jefferson.
After thinking about it, she was shocked. Sure enough, in those years, wherever she was, Jefferson would always be there, except for the time when she had gone abroad to study and when she had studied under Zelson.
As she thought about it, she instinctively leaned towards Jefferson and asked a question which she had pondered a long time about, "Mr. Hefner, I studied abroad for two years, and then another two with Mr. Zelson. In those four years, you were not in Chatterton Town either. So where did you go, and what did you do?"
Jefferson did not want to answer her question. "Didn't you say that you're tired? You should take a nap."
Adrienne said, "I'm asking you a question."
Jefferson replied, "The same as you."
Adrienne asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Jefferson said, "I went to study too."
Adrienne asked again, "What did you study?"
"Venture a guess," Jefferson said playfully.
Adrienne let the question hang.
She really wanted to bite him.
Stealing a glance at her from the corner of his eye, Jefferson found that Adrienne had dark circles under her eyes and felt somewhat distressed. "Look at the dark circles under your eyes. Why don't you just take a nap?"
Adrienne was determined to get an answer. "Can you answer my question properly?"
"I went to study criminal investigation." Jefferson said casually, but no one knew what he had gone through those years.
He had spent the first three years studying abroad, and on the fourth year he had visited a place where many people in the criminal investigation field dreamed of going but weren't able to.
If it weren't for him not being able to leave the cruelest criminal investigation training base in the world at that time, he definitely would have been able to stay by Adrienne's side when she needed him the most.
Every time he thought of it, he would feel as if he was stabbed by a knife. It hurt so badly that he couldn't breathe properly.
At that time, for Adrienne, the sky had collapsed upon her, but she had to shoulder every burden that shouldn't have been hers by herself.
Seeing that Jefferson was hedging, Adrienne felt a faint uneasiness in her heart. "Jefferson, do you
know?"
Jefferson asked, "What?"
Adrienne said in a low voice, "I am very scared now."
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm here, don't be afraid," Jefferson said while holding her with his right hand.
"It's precisely because of you that I'm afraid now." Adrienne sighed and said slowly, "I'm afraid that what happened to Freya will happen to me one day. I'm thinking that if one day a pregnant woman came to me and said that she's pregnant with your child, no matter the truthfulness of her words, I think I would do something even more extreme than what Freya did. I would definitely divorce you and disappear from your life completely."
"I won't let that day come," Jefferson said while holding her hand tightly, trying to reassure her in the simplest way.
Adrienne shook her head and said, "I believe Freddy truly didn't want to hurt Freya, but he still hurt her in the end."
Jefferson reemphasized, "I will never do that to you."
Adrienne said again, "Jefferson, I'm not demanding you to love me for your lifetime. I know that love is an abstract thing and it's
something we can't control. I only hope that while we are still married, you won't betray me and you'll stay loyal to me."
Jefferson knew what she was apprehensive about. Given that Freya was her best friend, it was normal for her to be afraid and neurotic about what had happened to her.
Nevertheless, Jefferson felt that he couldn't comfort her with just words. He could only use practical actions to tell her that she was the only one for him in his lifetime.
Seeing that Jefferson didn't reply to her, Adrienne added, "Of course, I won't ask you to do it one- sidedly. As long as we're married, I will do the same to you too."
Jefferson grabbed her hand and kissed it, saying, "Of course! I'm more than happy to do so!"
Adrienne drew back her hand and said, "I know Eunice is interested in you, but you have never given her a chance to get close to you, and you've always drawn the line clear with her. To tell the truth, I'm very satisfied and happy about how you've handled it."
