Hearing her words, Jefferson's hazy eyes suddenly lit up. "You know?"
"Yes." Adrienne was almost unable to stand up straight because of his weight, but she still nodded. "I saw the photo on your desk that morning. She was the one who poured water on you that day. She was really beautiful. If I were a man, I would probably like her too. If you like her, you should just go for it. I won't hold you back just because I'm your wife on paper."
"Are you trying to infuriate me to death?" Jefferson's eyes gradually darkened as he looked at her with a muddled look as if he was a soulless person. "Adrienne, the woman I like is you."
"Me?" Adrienne knew that she shouldn't be laughing at this moment, but she felt like it was a ridiculous thing to hear.
Jefferson could usually drink quite a lot. Adrienne wondered how much he drank that day. He was so drunk that he was spouting all sorts of nonsense such as him liking her.
"What are you laughing at?" Jefferson clenched his fist and wished he could give her a good beating. "Adrienne, you don't f*cking know at all. I like you. I have always liked you."
"Okay, okay, I am the one you like. I didn't know before, but now I know. Come on, stop fooling around. Let's get home first." He said that he liked her, so she just let him say what he wanted. She felt that she shouldn't bother arguing with a drunkard.
"Little Specky, I really like you!" If Jefferson had not been drunk, he would not have been able to say such words especially after being laughed at for his first-ever love confession.
"Yes, you like me. You love me. I like you too. You're my most- liked person in the world, Jeff!" Adrienne was disgusted by her own words.
"You like me?" Jefferson took Adrienne's hand and pouted. "Pinky promise! You can't go back on your words if you pinky- promised me. You can only like me from now on. No one else."
"Okay! Let's swear on it!" Adrienne scolded him for being so childish in her heart, but she still pinky promised him. It was not like they were taking it seriously. When they were younger, he promised not to bully her too, but that only lasted for a second before he made her cry again.
"You're my wife now!" Jefferson grinned like a fool.
"Yes, yes. I am your wife now." Adrienne felt that the weight on her body was getting heavier to carry. When she looked up, she realized that Jefferson had fallen asleep.
"B*stard, stop drinking all the time. You're just creating more trouble for me." With much effort, Adrienne dragged him to the car and fastened his seatbelt on. "Be a good little boy. I'll take you home."
She had intended to let Jefferson sit in the back seat. However, even though he was drunk, he was insistent on sitting in the front passenger seat.
Adrienne really wondered if he was deliberately pretending to be drunk to make trouble for her but it did not look like it. His acting skills weren't this good.
Adrienne drove while glancing at Jefferson from time to time. Seeing that he was doing okay, she sped up. After more than half an hour, she finally reached their home.
Jefferson was completely slumped over by then. When Adrienne helped him onto the bed, she felt exhausted. However, Jefferson was still going on and on, and he shouted, "Little Specky, I'm thirsty. Get me a glass of water."
Adrienne really wanted to give him a glass of water mixed with poison. She wanted to poison him to death, but she would have to pay for his death with her life. She had no intention of exchanging her precious life for his lousy one.
She poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, but he did not reach out to take it as if he had passed out. She had no choice but to help him up and feed him water slowly.
In her arms, Jefferson really did look like a child. Adrienne felt her heart soften and she couldn't help but take a second look at him.
From her angle, she could see his eyelashes clearly. His eyelashes were really long, and they looked nice, especially on his face. They suited him well.
