My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1797

Work was light that day. Adrienne rushed to the hospital to visit Hodge after work. However, no one was in the ward. She went over next door to ask the patient who was close to Hodge, but he had no idea where he was either.

When Adrienne was about to find a doctor and nurse, Jefferson came back with Hodge. Adrienne quickly came up to support Hodge and asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you not feeling well?"

Before Hodge could open his mouth, she noticed a cigarette smell on him. She instantly knew what was going on. "Grandpa, you smoked secretly again. How many times have I told you that smoking is bad for your health? Even children know this. Why won't you listen to me?"

Just a while ago, Jefferson had taken away Hodge's cigarettes, but he couldn't complain about it. At this moment, he was being scolded by Adrienne like a child. He felt extremely wronged at this instant.

Hence, Hodge said aggrievedly, "I've quit smoking for quite a while now. Today, Jefferson bought me a pack of cigarettes and forced me to accompany him to take a few puffs. You know that I enjoy smoking very much and I can't stand the temptation."

"I..." Jefferson was stunned.

How could Mr. Hodge do this?

"Jefferson!" Adrienne stared at him and scolded him fiercely, "As if it isn't enough that you wreaked havoc in my life every day. How can you buy cigarettes for an old man? What are you up to all day?"

Jefferson was having a hard time refuting her words. He did buy the cigarettes and smoked them with Mr. Hodge. He couldn't afford to offend Mr. Hodge, therefore he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Luckily, Hodge had some conscience. He relieved Jefferson from the awkward situation and chimed in, "Adrienne, I'm a little hungry. Can you ask Madam Hiller if the food will be ready soon?"

"Grandpa, go ahead and lie down for a while. I'll call Madam Hiller right away and ask if she's coming over." After helping Hodge lay down, Adrienne pinched Jefferson quietly. Then, she shot a warning look at him and implied that she would teach him a lesson that night.

Jefferson kept silent.

F*ck!

This little idiot was really getting bolder and bolder, he thought.

Just as Adrienne was about to make a phone call, Laura Hiller, Hodge's servant, pushed the door open with a thermal lunchbox in hand. When she saw that Adrienne and Jefferson were also there, she smiled and greeted, "Your boyfriend is really good- looking, Adrienne."

"He's not..."

Before Adrienne could finish her words, Jefferson cut in. "Madam Hiller, you have such a good eye. When I get married to Adrienne, you must come to our wedding."

Adrienne said annoyedly, "Jefferson, don't..."

Hodge interrupted Adrienne, "Okay, okay. If you two are going to quarrel, go outside and do it. Don't bother me here." He secretly gave Jefferson a look and asked him to take away Adrienne as soon as possible. He thought that there was no need to waste time on an old geezer like him.

Jefferson understood what Hodge was suggesting. He grabbed Adrienne and informed them, "Grandpa, we'll be leaving then. We'll come to see you again soon."

Before Adrienne could talk to Hodge, she was dragged out of the hospital by Jefferson. She didn't say a word until she got into the car. Jefferson noticed that she was acting strange and asked, "Little Specky, why the long face?"

Adrienne turned her head and looked out of the window. She did not intend to respond to him.

"Have you been scolded by your boss?" Jefferson tried to pry further.

Adrienne still ignored him.

Jefferson reached out and pinched her face. "It's not a good habit to vent your anger on me when your boss has scolded you. But, you can tell me which son of a b*tch made you unhappy. I'll take care of him for you."

"It was your b*stard father that made me angry." Adrienne really wanted to blurt out but logic stopped her. Hence, she continued ignoring Jefferson's blabbering.

Although Adrienne ignored him, Jefferson did not give up. "If my Queen sees you like this, she will think that I bullied you."

Adrienne finally spoke, "Didn't you bully me?"

"I didn't mess with you today," Jefferson answered.

Adrienne pouted, "You know that my grandfather is in poor health but you bought him cigarettes. You still dare to say that you didn't mess with me?" "I just wanted to make the old man happy and get him to agree to our relationship," argued Jefferson. "But, don't worry. He only smoked two cigarettes. As soon as he gave in, I took away the remaining pack of the cigarette that he hadn't smoked yet."

Adrienne found the story amusing. "You took it from his hand? Weren't you afraid he'll beat you up?"

"I'm not afraid of him beating me up. I'm just afraid that he won't agree to let you be with me," teased Jefferson while grinning widely.

Adrienne questioned, "Jefferson, do you really think we are suitable for each other?"

Jefferson glared at her and scolded her, "You little idiot, why are you being dumb again?"

"Eunice is prettier than me and she's smarter than me. Why didn't you fall for her?"

"Which blind man told you that Eunice is prettier than you?" Jefferson's tone was filled with indifference.

"Don't you think so?" Adrienne was surprised.

"In my eyes, you're the most beautiful person in the world."

"You are good with your words." No matter if Jefferson was telling the truth or not, Adrienne was pleased to hear it. After all, this was the first time that he had complimented her looks.

In fact, she was not ugly. It was just that Jefferson often called her ugly, therefore she felt a little insecure.

"Finally, you're smiling." Jefferson sped up and continued, "My Queen especially cooked soup for dinner and asked me to take you home tonight."

"I appreciate her kindness but can I not go?" If she went to his home, she would definitely run into Albert again. After Albert had that talk with her, she didn't know how she was supposed to face him anymore.

"If you don't go, my Queen will definitely kill me." Jefferson cocked his head sideways and looked at Adrienne. He could tell she was really reluctant to go, therefore he gave in. "If you really don't want to go, then we don't have to. I'll call my Queen later and tell her that I have something to do."

"Jefferson..."

"What happened to you today?"

"Jefferson, we're still young and in our twenties. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me and never look at another woman again?" After asking this question, Adrienne stared at him firmly. She just wanted to hear him say it.

"I am such a dedicated person. Why wouldn't I be sure?"

His words were enough for her.

Adrienne put down the heavy load in her heart and smiled. "Let's go to your house to have dinner. If we don't go, Britney will be sad."

"Women are so unpredictable." Jefferson sighed .

"Yes, women are fickle-minded. What are you going to do about it?"

"I can eat you up," Jefferson replied.

"Pervert!"

About half an hour later, they arrived at the Hefner home. As soon as they got out of the car, Britney came running over. She grabbed Adrienne's hand and greeted, "You're finally here, Adrienne."

Britney was sincere and Adrienne could feel it. She smiled back and answered, "I was just here two days ago but I'm here to bother you again today."
