My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1796

"Mr. Hodge, listen to what you're saying. Little Specky is a human being, not a toy. I'm marrying her because I like her, how could I do it for fun? When I'm with her, my life is filled with color and it does become fun." Jefferson's bluntness was often a doubleedged sword. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

He was always straightforward to his loved ones and friends around him. Even if he knew his words might upset Hodge, he still spoke his mind.

This was because he also knew that Hodge was also a smart man. Hodge had experienced life and seen plenty of the world. If he wanted Hodge to approve of him and Adrienne's marriage, he had to be sincere.

Hence, he came here with all his sincerity.

"You like her? How come I can't tell at all?" In fact, Hodge could see it, but he had his own considerations. After all, marriage was not a trifling matter.

Jefferson moved closer to Hodge's eyes and said, "Mr. Hodge, take another good look. Gaze into my eyes. There is no one else except Little Specky."

Hodge pushed him away. "The person I saw in your eyes is me."

Jefferson was speechless.

Hodge had no concept of romance at all. Sure enough, Adrienne had inherited her low EQ from Hodge. Jefferson was just making a metaphor earlier.

"Jefferson, as long as you promise me one thing, I will agree to your marriage."

In fact, Hodge liked Jefferson very much. Jefferson was arrogant but honest. He would never play dirty tricks. Although he often bullied Adrienne, he had also protected her.

If one day Hodge left this world, the only person he would trust Adrienne to was Jefferson.

"Go ahead and tell me what it is," said Jefferson. He cut to the chase. No matter what Hodge asked for, Jefferson would try his best.

"In the future, no matter what happens, you must be good to her. Her parents died in a tragic accident, leaving her alone. You may be the only family she has left in the future." Tears welled up in Hodge's eyes at the mention of his daughter and son-in-law. If that accident never happened, they would be a happy family at present.

Currently, there was only him and Adrienne left. He was old and there were many things that he wished he could do for her but he was unable to. Adrienne was young and naive to the world. Plus, she was so set on uncovering the murderer's identity from two years ago.

He was worried. He didn't want her to dedicate her whole life to uncovering the truth without enjoying her own life. If this went on, what would she live for once she apprehended the culprit?

"Mr. Hodge, even if you don't tell me this, I would take good care of her." Jeffferson didn't know what would happen in the future, but at least for the moment, he wanted to take care of Adrienne. Not only that, he planned to take care of her forever.

"Okay, I will trust you this time." Hodge patted Jefferson's shoulder. He took out two cigarettes from the pack, handed one to Jefferson and lit one himself. "In fact, Little Specky isn't that bad. You'll be very blessed if she decides to marry you."

Jefferson lit up his cigarette as well. "Mr. Hodge, we have the same mind."

Hodge smiled. "You're right."

Jefferson replied, "Of course."

Hodge patted Jefferson's shoulder again and said, "Little Specky will be in your hands from now on."

Like Hodge, Jefferson also patted the old man's shoulder and said, "I hope that I won't disappoint you or Adrienne's parents."

The roof of the hospital was a place where people rarely visited. That day, there were two men sitting there, an old man and a young man. The two of them smoked their cigarettes quietly and did not say another word. The scene was so beautiful that no one dared to intrude.

However, the ringing of Jefferson's phone suddenly broke the silence. When he saw that it was from his mother, he dared not reject the call. "Greetings, my Queen."

"Don't talk nonsense!" She reprimanded him and then ordered, "I cooked soup for dinner. Bring Adrienne home tonight to eat with us."

"Ye, Ma'am!" Jefferson said with a smile. "I'll call Little Specky right now."

"You..." Britney's laugh could be heard from the other side of the phone. "You must have done something to make me happy but you're keeping it from me."

Jefferson knew what his mother was referring to. Knowing that his mother was happy, he was also excited. "My Queen, I've never let you down, have I?"

Britney said with a smile, "I know how capable you are, but don't talk nonsense. Bring my daughter- in-law home as soon as possible. I want to fatten her up."

Jefferson said again, "Yes, Ma'am!"

Britney really loved Adrienne. She had long hoped that Jefferson would be able to marry Adrienne into the family. Now that Hodge had agreed to Jefferson's proposal, the two huge obstacles that

were between him and Adrienne did not exist anymore. As long as Adrienne agreed, they would be able to set their wedding date.

It would be better to set it before Freddy and Freya's wedding in case the two of them wanted to nag Jefferson again. They always nagged him for not understanding how to love someone or be romantic.

He was going to slap the couple hard in the face with reality.

After he hung up the phone, he heard Hodge say, "Boy, while your parents are still alive, you should go home to see them more often. Life is too short. Don't wait until you lose them before you know how to cherish them."

"I will, Mr. Hodge," said Jefferson as he nodded his head. "I'll come visit you again next time to chat more." "I have a patient friend here whom I chat with every day. You don't have to come." Hodge paused and said, "Did your mother ask you to take Little Specky home for dinner?"

"My mother probably loves Little Specky more than me, and she's been looking forward to my marriage. Mr. Hodge, Little Specky will never be bullied if she marries into our family. You don't need to worry," said Jefferson as he nodded hard.

Hodge asked, "What's your father's attitude toward Little Specky?"

"It's none of my father's business who I marry. It's best if he accepts her of course, but even if he doesn't want to, he has to. Otherwise, it'll be the end of the Hefner family line."

Hodge glared at him. "You must understand that the best-case scenario is if you can get the blessings from both sides of the family. I don't want Little Specky to suffer even a tiny bit."

"Mr. Hodge, as long as you agree to it, she won't suffer any grievance," replied Jefferson. He took the cigarette from Hodge's hand and quickly grabbed the pack.

"My cigarettes." Hodge wanted to grab it back but Jefferson stuffed it in his pocket. "Mr. Hodge, Little Specky is right. In order to stay healthy, you have to quit smoking."

Hodge was so angry that he glared at Jefferson and said, "Jefferson, you b*stard!"

"Mr. Hodge, listen to what you're saying. Little Specky is a human being, not a toy. I'm marrying her because I like her, how could I do it for fun? When I'm with her, my life is filled with color and it does become fun." Jefferson's bluntness was often a doubleedged sword.
