My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1776

Adrienne had to stop working on the case and she had not yet recovered from the blow. The next moment, she received a call from Eunice. "Adrienne, I am back in Chatterton Town. Are you busy today?"

Before Adrienne responded, Eunice continued, "Even if you are busy, you have to accompany me for a meal. After all, you are my best friend."

Adrienne had mixed feelings. Nevertheless, she smiled and replied, "Eunice, I happen to be free today. Where is the location? I'll go there in advance."

Eunice chuckled. "We'll have lunch at Bruce's restaurant. Freddy, Freya, and Tommy will be there soon. You and Jefferson are the only ones left. Please help me to relay the message to Jefferson and tell him the time and venue."

"This..." Adrienne didn't want to talk to Jefferson, but she could not refuse. She had to bite the bullet and nodded. "Well, then I will call him and ask if he has time."

Eunice said, "Okay, thank you."

Adrienne smiled. "It's not a big deal, Eunice.

Don't sweat on it!"

After the call with Eunice, Adrienne found Jefferson's number and hesitated for a while. In the end, she still made the call and Jefferson's voice soon rang, "What's up?"

Adrienne paused for a while and asked, "Are you free at noon?"

"Do you already miss me in such a short time?" Jefferson teased with a smile.

Adrienne shook her head. "Eunice invited you to join us for lunch together at noon."

Jefferson cursed, "F*ck!"

Adrienne frowned in disgust. "Just say it if you can't make it. Can't you talk nicely? Cursing every time you speak is detrimental to your image, Mr. Hefner."

"You little idiot!" Jefferson yelled. He was not in a good mood.

Adrienne was angry too. "I'm hanging up!"

"Don't hang up. I haven't finished speaking yet," Jefferson stopped her sternly. "She called me and I told her that I'm not free at noon. Now she's asking you to tell me. Does she have too much time on her hands?"

Adrienne gasped in realization, "Oh!"

It turned out that Jefferson was furious over this. Adrienne suddenly thought that he was slightly adorable even when he was angry.

"Tell her that I'm not free," Jefferson responded.

Adrienne acknowledged with a simple, "Oh."

"Can't you say anything else except the word 'oh'?" Jefferson mocked.

Adrienne questioned, "What are you busy with?"

"It's none of your business." Jefferson changed the subject and added, "Don't eat at the canteen for lunch. I'll go to you later and take you out for a delicious meal."

Adrienne was stunned. "Didn't you say you aren't going to be free at noon?"

Jefferson replied, "I don't have time to have lunch with her, but I have plenty of time to accompany you."

Adrienne argued, "But I promised Eunice to have lunch with them at noon. I can only refuse your appointment."

Jefferson scolded again, "Idiot!"

He decisively ended the call, which left Adrienne confused again.
