My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1787

"Did I scare you?" Jefferson asked. Perhaps, he was the only man in the world who had startled a woman with his confession.

"Do you really like me?" Adrienne was still skeptical. "Every day, you scold me, insult me, and p*ss me off. Yet, you still have the nerve to say that you like me? You are not a three-year-old child anymore. If you like someone, why would you bully the person you like?"

A thought flashed through Adrienne's mind. She smiled cheekily and teased, "If what you said is true, then that night when I was drunk, you must not have rejected me. That means that what happened that night was consensual and I didn't force you."

Just as she had thought, he was taller and stronger than her. How could she force him to do something when she was drunk? In the end, it happened because he wanted it to happen as well.

Although Jefferson had a bad gut feeling, he still agreed with her and answered, "So what?"

Adrienne leaned over to him and softened her voice, "If the both of us consented, then I don't need to compensate you for any losses, right? Can you give me back the money I transferred to you previously?"

Upon hearing this, Jefferson became furious instantly. "Adrienne, I just confessed my love to you, but all you can think about is money. Can you have a f*cking conscience?"

Adrienne smiled at him foolishly but cunningly at the same time. "I am so poor that I almost have no money to eat. You want to bring up conscience with me?"

"In your heart, money is more important than me, isn't it?" asked Jefferson, glaring at her.

Adrienne smiled gently. "Of course."

"Idiot!" Jefferson was so angry that he gritted his teeth and started the car again to head home. On the way back, Adrienne kept silent as she thought about getting Jefferson to give her the money back.

After all, no one's money grew on trees. She had earned all that money with her hard work. It would be a pity if she didn't take it back.

Not long after, they finally arrived home. To Adrienne's surprise, there was food prepared at home. Out of the four dishes, three were her favorite, and the last one was Jefferson's favorite.

Adrienne looked around and found that there was no one in the house. She asked doubtfully, "Jefferson, how did the delivery man deliver takeout to our house when we weren't at home?"

Jefferson had just come out of the kitchen after washing his hands. "Idiot."

Jefferson did not explain, therefore Adrienne did not ask any more questions. She just picked up her cutleries and began to eat. She trusted that he wouldn't poison her.

As soon as she tasted the dishes, she recognized the familiar taste immediately and realized who cooked these dishes. "Jefferson, Madam Yard sent these over?"

"Who else could it be?" Jefferson was full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Adrienne got anxious. "Jefferson, how could you break your promise? We agreed that we wouldn't tell the elders of the family about our relationship. Why did you tell her?"

Jefferson threw his cutleries heavily on the table. "We were both single and unmarried. Now, we have registered for our marriage and are lawfully married. Tell me, why can't I tell our elders about us?"

Besides, he hadn't told his mother about them anyway. Britney was just quick to catch on. Previously when Jefferson and Adrienne returned home to eat together, Britney had already suspected what was going on. Adrienne was the only one who thought that the elders hadn't realized anything.

Just because she was an idiot, did she think that everyone else in the world was as dumb as she was?

"I..." Adrienne stuttered.

Previously, she thought that Jefferson had another girl in his heart. She was afraid that she would get in his way, hence she didn't want anyone to know about their marriage.

However, things were different at present. For more than once, Jefferson had told her that the girl he liked was herself. It had always been her and her alone. That meant there were no other girls involved and she was the only one he loved.

Since it was so, should she try to accept this marriage and treat Jefferson as a proper lover?

Although he wasn't her ideal man, he was the closest person to her in the world apart from Hodge.

"Besides, he looks good and he's pretty smart. His genes should be pretty good if we have a baby..."

Thinking about it in this way, Adrienne felt like it wasn't a bad idea to carry on with their marriage.

Jefferson had no idea what Adrienne was thinking about and he shouted, "Finish your sentence."

Adrienne rolled her eyes and answered, "You say you like me but you're so fierce to me. How can I believe that your feelings are true?"

"I..." Jefferson was at a loss for words.

"Okay, calm down!" Seeing that he didn't know how to respond, Adrienne suddenly felt like she was about to turn things around. She was delighted but she suppressed the excitement in her heart and patted him on the shoulder. "As long as you improve your temper and treat me nicely, the two of us can still live well as husband and wife."

Adrienne said that she wanted to live well with Jefferson as husband and wife.

All of a sudden, Jefferson felt like he was floating on cloud nine.

Adrienne had never seen Jefferson so dumbfounded before. It seemed like he wasn't lying about his feelings for her. "Since you have told your mother, then so be it. But, you're not allowed to tell my grandfather, okay? Let me lay down the groundwork with him first."

Jefferson was in disbelief. "Little Specky, are you accepting our marriage?"

Seeing how naive Jefferson was acting, Adrienne laughed and exclaimed, "We are a legally wed couple. You have liked me for so many years. Why shouldn't I accept it? But, it would be best if you remembered to be nice to me in the future. You can't be fierce to me, or I may change my mind at any time."

"Okay." Jefferson only heard the first half of the sentence. He didn't care about what she said at the end, but it didn't matter anyway. What was more important than the fact that Adrienne had accepted him?

However, Jefferson was worried that he was dreaming. "Little Specky, do you understand what you're talking about?"

Adrienne held back her laughter. "I'm not drunk tonight. Why wouldn't I know what I'm talking about?"

All of a sudden, Jefferson did not know what to do. He needed to calm down, hence he said, "Let's eat!"

Looking at his silly appearance, Adrienne muttered in her heart, "Idiot!"

Adrienne had already made it very clear, but Jefferson still couldn't bring himself to believe it. After eating, he went to the study alone, wanting to find someone to help him unravel Adrienne's thoughts. However, everyone he could think of was a hooligan.

After thinking about it, he felt like Freya was the best choice. However, when he called, her phone was engaged. He had no choice but to call Freddy instead.

Freddy had a strong survival instinct, therefore he had never delayed picking up whenever Jefferson called. "Jefferson, do you want to bring Adrienne here for dinner again? When will you come? I'll prepare her favorite dishes in advance."
