My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1779

Freya responded, "You are different."

"What's the difference between us?" Eunice took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "In the end, he and I are the same kind of people. We are chasing after love."

Freya advised, "You like Jefferson, and Jefferson likes Adrienne... Regardless of whether Adrienne likes Jefferson or not, at least Adrienne doesn't fancy any other man. This is the difference."

Eunice's voice rose. "Freya, the seven of us grew up together. Adrienne is three years younger than the six of us. When she was a child, we all took care of her. I can understand that, but now she has grown up and she is an adult. Why are all of you still protecting her? It's okay for you to protect her, but why do you close me out?"

"Eunice, when did we do that?" Freya valued the relationship between the seven of them dearly. From an early age, they had protected Adrienne because of Jefferson and also because Adrienne was much younger than them.

Even after everyone grew up, it had become a habit for them to protect Adrienne. Old habits would die hard, but they had never thought of excluding Eunice.

"Freya, it's my business to like Jefferson. He can't change my mind; no one else can. Don't worry about it. We'll still be good friends in the future." Eunice tried to control her emotion. "Everyone is tired today. Let's go back. Well meet another day when we're free."

"Eunice..." Freya still wanted to say something but Eunice had already taken a few steps away. She could only look at Eunice's back and be worried silently.

Jefferson was not good at dealing with personal feelings. Adrienne was dense about such matters, and Eunice was stubborn. These three people...

There were numerous examples that a relationship involving three people would never end well. They were all Freya's childhood friends; Freya did not want any one of them to be hurt.

Adrienne declined Freddy's offer of sending her home and drove to the hospital to accompany Hodge. Hodge was in good spirits, which made Adrienne feel much better.

With Adrienne's company, Hodge was even more chatty. He talked with Adrienne for a long time about the most random things. The afternoon passed fast without them noticing. Adrienne stayed in the hospital, had dinner with Hodge, and only drove home when it was getting dark.

For the whole afternoon, Jefferson didn't call her. She didn't even know whether he had gone home or not.

Thinking of Jefferson, Adrienne could not help speeding up and rushed toward home.

Within less than half an hour, Adrienne had arrived at the underground parking lot. After parking the car, she hurried to the elevator and went to the floor where they stayed. She opened the door, but there was no light on in the house. It seemed that Jefferson did not come back. Somehow, Adrienne felt a little disappointed.

However, just as she turned on the light and was about to change her shoes, a deep voice came from the room. She knew that Jefferson was suppressing his anger. "You still know your way home." Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"It turns out that you are back. Why didn't you turn on the lights?" Jefferson was mad every day. If he didn't lose his temper one day, Adrienne wouldn't be used to it. She didn't take his words seriously and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Jefferson was sitting on the sofa in the living room but he was staring out of the window. He did not say anything to Adrienne.

Adrienne spoke again, "I'm asking you a question."

Even so, Jefferson still didn't respond.

Adrienne walked to his side and reached out to feel his forehead. "Are you not feeling well?"

Jefferson did not respond. Instead, he raised his hand and hit her hand away.

He was strong. Thus, that was a painful hit for Adrienne. "Why are you throwing tantrums again?"

Looking back at Adrienne coldly, Jefferson answered lightly, "Adrienne, you heartless, stupid woman. If I die someday, you won't shed a tear, will you?"

"What are you talking about?" Hearing the word 'die', Adrienne's heart ached all of a sudden. The image of Jefferson covered with blood emerged in her mind. "You are a lucky man. Death will give way to you. Thus, you will live a long life."

Adrienne did not know why, but when she thought of the scene of Jefferson getting hurt, her heart immediately throbbed. She was afraid... So afraid that Jefferson would suddenly disappear from her life like her parents. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get them back.

"I thought you have a heart of stone."Jefferson let out a long breath and tried to talk to Adrienne in a calm tone. "Adrienne, are you in such a hurry to push me to other women?"

"What?" Adrienne was puzzled. When was she in a hurry to push him to another woman? "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jefferson pulled her to his side and looked into her eyes. "Eunice asked you to ask me out on her behalf. Didn't you agree? Eunice told you that she wants to pursue me. Didn't you agree?"

Adrienne's first reaction was to say, "Jefferson, how can you eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Jefferson was annoyed but he held her hand gently. "Don't change the topic."

"Let go of me. It hurts a little." He was powerful and Adrienne's hand was tightly held by him, which pained her. "I... I promised her to set up a meeting for you guys and agreed that she could pursue you. But whether you want to go on the date or promise her pursuit, you can choose freely."

"What about you?" Although Jefferson was infuriated, he still relaxed his grip. He looked at her intently and questioned, "Do you want me to go to the date? Do you want me to agree to her pursuit?"

"I..." She was reluctant to let him go, but it was not a good idea. After all, Eunice and Jefferson were childhood friends who grew up with her. She responded, "This is your choice. You don't need to ask for my opinion."

In Adrienne's view, love was a personal matter. She hoped that Jefferson could choose his true love according to what he wanted. She did not want him to be affected by others' opinions, nor did she hope for him to act against his own wishes because his pursuer was his childhood friend.

"F*ck!" Jefferson jumped up in anger. He wanted to grab Adrienne and throw her out of the window. "Adrienne, do you f*cking know what you're talking about?"

"Going to Eunice's date or agreeing to her pursuit is entirely up to you." Adrienne was scared by his sudden burst of anger and moved back a little. She continued cautiously, "Am I wrong?"

"Idiot!" Jefferson was so furious that he turned around and walked into the study. When he came out of the study, he held two certificates in his hand, which were their marriage certificates!
