My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1752

Lewis was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva a few times before he answered, "The person I contacted was Sawyer Whitlock. I got all my goods from him. You've arrested all my downlines."

Jefferson did not say a word. He tapped on the table lightly, intentionally or unintentionally, with his fingers. Such an ordinary sound made Lewis's scalp tingle. He continued, "10:30 p.m. on the 9th. They'll have a deal at Yellow Field Pier in Chatterton Town. The secret code is 'Life is short, and I'll grow old with you.'"

"It's just a f*cking code but it's quite poetic though." Jefferson stood up and strode outside. While walking, he asked Vincent who was following behind him, "Do you need me to tell you what to do next?"

Vincent answered, "Boss, this person is very cunning. I'm afraid that the secret code is fake."

Jefferson did not agree or disagree. He raised his watch and looked at the time, asking, "What's today's date?"

Vincent answered, "The 6th."

"Your analysis was right. We can't rule out the possibility that the b*stard was still thinking of informing the people outside at this time. You may make some arrangements and more plans for it. In three days, you must arrest Sawyer and bring him back to me," Jefferson commanded.

It was the first time that Vincent had been praised by Jefferson. He was overjoyed that he couldn't stop smiling. "Yes, Boss!"

Staring at Vincent, Jefferson thought that any word of his could make Vincent overjoyed. However, no matter how many things he had done for Adrienne, she would not appreciate his kindness.

Although she did not appreciate his kindness, he still rushed home as soon as possible after finishing his work.

"Adrienne..." In her dream, Adrienne seemed to have heard Rachel calling her name. "Mom? Mom, is that you? Where are you? Can you respond to me, please?"

"Adrienne, it hurts so much. Please save us. Please save us..." Adrienne heard the voice of her mother's cry for help, but she was unable to see where she was. The night was full of complete darkness that she could not see anything.

Adrienne was so anxious that she turned around and asked, "Mom, where are you? Why can't I see you?"

"Adrienne, those murderers are so inhumane. Not only did they kill your father and me, but they didn't even keep us a complete corpse..." Rachel's voice was very close by, but when Adrienne listened to it carefully, she felt that it was very far away. It was as if it was floating in the sky, which was so faint that it could disappear at anytime.

"Mom, don't be afraid. I will definitely find out who the killer is and let you and Dad rest in peace... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." Even though Adrienne had never experienced it herself, every time she thought about the hopelessness when her parents were killed and dismembered, her heart ached terribly as if she was about to die.

Bang!

Once again, someone kicked Adrienne's butt. She fell from the bed to the ground and woke up. She opened her eyes, and as soon as she looked up, she saw a complicated expression and heartache in Jefferson's gaze.

Heartache?

Did his heart ache for her?

Adrienne thought that she had seen it wrongly. Hence, she rubbed her eyes hurriedly and looked at him again. However, every part of Jefferson was revealing arrogance as he was scoffing at her, "Little Specky, you have become bold again."

Earlier on, it was he who had kicked her off the bed, but why did it seem like she was the one who had done something wrong again?

"Why are you staring at me? What did I do again?" Adrienne stammered.

Jefferson asked, "What did I tell you before I went out?"

Adrienne answered, "A lot." But, she didn't seem to remember a word.

"But you don't even remember a single word of it," Jefferson voiced.

Adrienne fell silent.

Could Jefferson read her mind?

"I asked you to lock the door from the inside. Why didn't you lock it?" Jefferson scolded.

Adrienne rebutted, "So you're kicking me off the bed because of this?"

Jefferson scoffed, "What else could it be?"

"You..." Adrienne was so p*ssed off that she couldn't speak. However, after Jefferson made such a scene, she forgot that she just had a nightmare again.
