The two elders of the Hefner family lived in a villa provided by the country in Paramount Area of Chatterton Town. It was a half an hour's journey from Adrienne's workplace and it wasn't very far away.
Before Adrienne and Jefferson went overseas, both the Hefner family and the Carter family lived in the governmental housing area in Paramount Area. Therefore, Adrienne knew Jefferson since she was a baby.
After the Hefner family moved away, Adrienne's parents passed away. During the period when Jefferson was out of the country, Jefferson's mother, Britney, often invited Adrienne to their house for meals. Hence, Adrienne was very close to his parents.
However, the thought that she was visiting the Hefner family as their daughter- in- law made her uneasy. They were already at the entrance of the house but she was still hesitating. "Jefferson, I didn't bring anything for them, it doesn't seem right to visit them without a gift. I don't think I should visit them today."
Jefferson gave her a glance. "You don't have to buy any."
Adrienne smiled flatteringly and said, "It's fine if I don't buy it on normal days, but today I'm visiting as their daughter-in-law... Unless I'm not visiting as their daughter-in-law."
"Don't worry, I've already prepared everything." Jefferson had already foreseen her thoughts and he stopped at the roadside. "Don't worry about the gifts."
"You want to..." Before Adrienne could finish speaking, she saw Tommy walk towards their car, carrying two big boxes in his arms. "Jefferson, I've brought the things that you requested."
Jefferson rolled down his window; he didn't plan on getting down the car. "Put them in the trunk."
"Alright." Tommy put the boxes into the trunk of Jefferson's car, and then came to the window and asked, "Jefferson, I haven't visited your parents in a long time too, can I tag along for lunch?"
"You can have lunch with them any other time, why do you have to tag along today?" Jefferson looked at Tommy coldly and said, "Go hang somewhere else."
"But Jefferson, you are bringing Adrienne there, why can't you take me along too?" Tommy looked at Adrienne, who was sitting in the passenger's seat, and teased playfully, "Adrienne, you sure are Jefferson's true love. You must cherish him, don't break his heart."
"Cough, cough..."Adrienne was startled by Tommy's words. "Tommy, you know how I grew up, why are you saying this too?"
"Stop talking nonsense Tommy, no one will think that you're mute if you stay silent." Jefferson glared at him with a cold gaze and Tommy quickly took a few steps back. Jefferson took the opportunity and stepped on the accelerator, driving away and leaving poor Tommy behind. "Jefferson, I'm trying to help you, how dare you be so ungrateful. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to see Adrienne's WhatsApp statuses."
Remembering that Jefferson was the only person that Adrienne blocked from her WhatsApp statuses, Tommy felt much better all of a sudden. Jefferson the Devil still had a long way to go in pursuing the girl he loved.
He still had plenty of opportunities to watch that arrogant Jefferson pursue Adrienne in the future.
"You still remember that you have a family, huh..." The doorbell rang and Britney quickly opened the door without even checking who it was. Seeing that Adrienne was there too when she opened the door, she quickly swallowed the other half of the sentence, and a warm smile spread across her face. "Adrienne, you're here. Come on in."
Adrienne smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm here to visit you and Uncle. Here are some gifts that I bought for the two of you, I hope that you'll like it."
