My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1793

Had Adrienne misunderstood Jefferson? Could it be that he hadn't told his parents about their marriage?

But if his family didn't know, why would they prepare Adrienne's favorite dishes the night before?

She was so familiar with the taste of those dishes, hence she knew it was made by Britney.

Just as Adrienne was busy being confused, Albert spoke again, "Adrienne, Madam Yard has always loved you as if you are her daughter."

"Mr. Albert, I know that your family is very kind to me." Adrienne knew how well Madam Yard treated her, but it was odd for Albert to suddenly bring it up. "Mr. Albert, if you have something to say, please say it."

Adrienne might be ignorant about the ways of the world, but she was not stupid. She had never been in personal contact with Albert. He must have something he wanted to talk to her about since he came looking for her.

"It's not a big deal." He raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "Although it's not a big deal, no one can help with this task except you."

Hearing that she was the only one who could help, Adrienne preened and said, "Mr. Albert, tell me what it is. No matter what, I'll definitely help if I can."

Albert smiled. "It's all because of Jefferson. You know that kid's temper. He's so wild that he doesn't care about the people around him and he always does what he wants."

Apparently, it was about Jefferson after all. Adrienne breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Albert, I've talked to him before about this but he said that it'll be hard for him to change his ways immediately."

"It doesn't matter if he can't change his ways immediately. What matters is he wants to change." Albert was trying to hint at something.

"He does want to change," Adrienne replied. In front of a third party, she always subconsciously defended Jefferson.

Albert drank more of his tea as he chastised his son, "Jefferson is already in his twenties, yet he is not mature or stable at all."

Adrienne did not answer. In fact, Jeff still had his merits and he wasn't that bad.

"Look at Eunice, the daughter of the Johnston family. She's the same age as him but she's much more sensible. She has since returned from studying abroad. She's beautiful, well-educated, and understanding..." Albert sighed. "I don't understand why other people can be so wonderful, but Jefferson..."

"Mr. Albert, Jeff is not that bad." Adrienne felt uncomfortable listening to him praise Eunice whilst bringing Jefferson down.

"Eunice is such a lovely child. Last night, Madam Yard told me that she wants a daughter- in- law like her." Hearing this, Adrienne was stunned. She wanted to speak up, but Albert did not give her a chance to interrupt. "More importantly, Eunice is also interested in Jefferson. It's just that Jeffferson is clueless... Adrienne, can you talk to him? Persuade him to try things out with Eunice."

"Um..." Adrienne finally understood Albert's motive for coming to talk to her. Nevertheless, she was dumbfounded.

She had just only started believing that the girl Jefferson liked was her, and she was willing to try and accept their marriage. But at this moment, the elder of the Hefner family was telling her that they already had another daughter-in-law in mind. They even wanted Adrienne to help push things along.

"God, why do you do this to me? Is this fun for you?" she thought.

Adrienne didn't understand why they wanted Jefferson to do something he didn't want to do. Eunice and Albert were both the same.

Jefferson was an adult. He had his own thoughts and freedom of choice. Why must they control his life?

Moreover, Adrienne felt that there was no right or wrong in love. There was nothing wrong with Eunice liking Jefferson, but there was nothing wrong with him not liking her back either.

However, Adrienne was even more confused at present. Eunice was obviously better than her in many aspects in everyone's eyes. Why did Jefferson like her instead of Eunice?

Was it really like what he told her that he was attracted by her stupidity?

In any case, Adrienne came to the conclusion that she could not persuade Jefferson about this matter. "Mr. Albert, it's not good for me to intervene into Jeff's relationships."

"It's not that you need to intervene. I just want you to tell him that both families want them together. He always listens to you and not us. If you can just talk to him, I'm sure he'll listen. Of course, we aren't forcing them to be together. It's just that they should at least have a chance to try and get to know each other. It'll be up to them whether or not they're suited for one another."

"Mr. Albert..."

"Adrienne, are you unwilling to help me?"

"No, it's just that I..." Adrienne wanted to slap herself in the face. Why did she talk in such a way moments ago? She just dug her own grave.

"Adrienne, Jefferson has always regarded you as his own sister. He will definitely listen to you." Albert emphasised the word 'sister' and Adrienne felt herself go numb.

Sister?

"He's never seen me as a sister!" she thought.

"No..." Adrienne wanted to say that she and Jefferson were actually already married, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Jefferson had already told the Hefner family about their marriage, yet Mr. Albert still came looking for her to do this. Furthermore, he hadn't brought up the marriage at all, therefore it was clear that he didn't approve of their marriage.

"Adrienne..."

"Mr. Albert, I'm sorry! In fact, Jefferson and I are married. At present, we are legally wed husband and wife," Adrienne gritted her teeth and said. After blurting it out, she felt less afraid. Although they had a different daughter-in- law in mind, the person that Jefferson wanted to marry was her.

"You two are married?" Albert didn't seem surprised at all. He looked at Adrienne kindly. "Jefferson almost lost his life because of you last night. Did he tell you about it?"

"Wait, what?" Adrienne was stunned. What exactly happened the night before that she didn't know about?

"There are many excellent men in the world, but Madam Yard and I only have one son. If anything happens to him, I'm afraid that Madam Yard won't be able to go on living," said Albert.

"Mr. Albert, this isn't up to me. If you want us to divorce, you have to go talk to Jefferson about it." Adrienne understood clearly what Albert was implying and she flat out rejected him.

"Adrienne, I always thought that you were a smart child and that you are clear on what you want. But after talking to you today, I feel like I was mistaken." Albert still smiled gently. From an onlooker's gaze, he probably looked like a nice old man. "If you won't do it as a favor to us, then let's talk terms."

"What kind of terms?" Adrienne suddenly felt like she had never known Albert before this moment.

Albert drank some tea and said lightly, "The Winey Farm murder case that shocked the country from two years ago still remains unsolved. Do you want to know the reason why?"
