Jefferson's omelet didn't get served; he almost burnt down the kitchen instead. For the time being, they would not be able to cook. Adrienne didn't feel like eating takeouts either. Hence, Jefferson had no choice but to drive her out to a place known as Well Eaten Farm and Restaurant.
It was located in the eastern suburbs of Chatterton Town, and it was a very famous organic restaurant. The reason why it was famous was that all the ingredients used in the restaurant were healthy foods.
The owner of the restaurant planted all the vegetables himself. He didn't use any pesticides so they were all organically grown. The animals were also reared personally and slaughtered fresh. They were grass- fed so their meat texture was tender and delicious.
When this venture first began, the restaurant was operating at a loss. After that, they slowly grew a returning customer base and word spread about how good their food was. More and more people started to know about it and their business improved.
As soon as Jefferson's car stopped, a young handsome man hurriedly came up and said,
"Hey, Jefferson, what brings you here?"
"The crazy lady in my car." Jefferson got out of the car and strode inside. "Get us some of the best dishes in your restaurant."
After taking a few steps, he realized that Adrienne was not following behind. He returned to the car again and said, "Adrienne, do you want me to carry you out of the car?"
Adrienne said helplessly, "Mr. Jefferson, you've locked the car door. How can I get out?"
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can't you speak up and tell me if it's locked?"
Adrienne shouted internally, "I literally just did!"
"I must be crazy to drive you dozens of kilometers away in the middle of the night for a meal," said Jefferson.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with Adrienne's behavior, he did not hesitate to help her open the car door. As a 'gentleman', he still held his hand over her head when she got out to prevent her head from hitting the car.
Adrienne did not notice his action, probably because she was used to it, but the owner of the restaurant saw Jefferson's gesture clearly. However, he had seen it many times, so he chose not to bring it up.
"My dearest Ady, I haven't seen you in so long. I've missed you so much." The man came forward and wanted to give Adrienne a hug. Jefferson stretched out his arms and pulled Adrienne behind him to protect her. "What right do you think you have to touch her?"
"Freddy, long time no see!" Adrienne was dragged back and smiled awkwardly. "Freddy, I'm so happy to see that your wedding with Freya is coming soon. Congratulations to both of you."
"Thank you, thank you!" Freddy Yaleman, Jefferson's friend, smiled and said. He led the two of them into the private room and said, "Speaking of which, we've already set our wedding date. When are the two of you planning on holding your wedding?"
Hearing Freddy's words, Adrienne was instantly stunned.
Ever since she was a child, Jefferson had bullied her in every way imaginable. Adrienne could not understand why all their friends still thought they were together.
She was not a masochist, so it was impossible for her to marry such a bossy and detestable man like Jefferson.
Thinking of her past of being bullied, Adrienne quickly shook her head and denied, "Freddy, what are you talking about? How could I be with Jeff?"
Because she had accidentally slept with Jefferson, he wanted to take responsibility. She had no choice but to go register their marriage together with him at City Hall.
However, registering their marriage was just her way of protecting herself. Once time passed and Jefferson got bored, he would naturally ask her for a divorce. Then, she would be free again.
Adrienne naively thought that their marriage was just another method of his bullying. When he got tired of this game of marriage, she would be liberated.
