My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1769

"Ring, ring-"

An ear- piercing call rang all of a sudden, which startled Adrienne. Jefferson

immediately muted his phone. He glanced at Adrienne, got up and walked out. "I'll take this call."

Jefferson was answering a phone call and avoiding her?

This was the first time it had happened.

Adrienne grew curious.

Jefferson went on the balcony outside their private dining room. The glass door was soundproofed, so Adrienne could not hear a word.

Her curiosity only grew the more she was unable to hear. Who was calling him?

Was it his sweetheart?

Or did Jarred have news about the murderer?

If the two matters were compared, Adrienne cared more about the latter. When Jefferson came back, she immediately asked, "Did Jarred have anything new about the murderer?"

"Who do you think I am? Would Jarred report to me if he has any new clues?" Jefferson leaned back in his seat and put away his phone before taking a sip of tea leisurely.

Adrienne pouted. "Don't say anything if you have nothing nice to say. Why are you so rude?"

"You don't stop talking even when you're bloated," Jefferson said.

Adrienne was silent.

She was angry; she wanted to retaliate at him but she couldn't do anything to him.

Jefferson said, "Today is Saturday. Shouldn't you be visiting your grandfather?"

"Yes, I'm going."

"Eat up," Jefferson said. "I'll drive you there when you're done."

Adrienne replied, "You're in such a hurry to send me away. Was it your mistress who called just now?"

To Adrienne, her question did not come from a place of jealousy at all, but Jefferson read a tinge of jealousy in it. Was that little idiot jealous? he wondered.

Jefferson's mood improved in an instant. He leaned towards Adrienne and said, "Little idiot, would you like me to say yes or no?"

Adrienne replied in a daze, "Say yes if it was, say no if it wasn't. Does it have anything to do with what I want to hear?"

Jefferson was dumbstruck.

F*ck!

Sure enough, he was reading too much into things again.

Hodge was doing well both physically and mentally. The doctor had said that he could be discharged from the hospital two days earlier, but he felt that the hospital provided a livelier environment than staying alone at home. Thus, he insisted on staying for two more days.
