Adrienne didn't answer Jefferson.
"Adrienne, Jefferson is right. No matter who takes advantage of you, you must tell us. I've got your back too." Britney just wanted to show Adrienne her sincerity. "Adrienne, I asked around and found out that the food at your workplace isn't that good. I'll send you lunch from home in the future, okay?"
Britney was a little too enthusiastic, which scared Adrienne. Adrienne was afraid that she would let Britney down. She didn't want to owe her. "Madam Yard, there's no need to do so."
"My Queen, you know how special Little Specky's job is. If she's busy at noon, she won't have an appetite even if you send delicious food to her. You don't need to bother with that, but you can send us dinner instead so that we can eat it when we get home after work," Jefferson interjected.
Although Britney really wanted to send lunches to Adrienne, she tried to be understanding about how they felt. "Then don't go out for dinner in the future. I'll cook and bring it to your home in advance. I won't disturb you guys either, don't worry."
The topic of delivering meals came to an end. Everyone sat down to have a meal. Adrienne had something on her mind, therefore she didn't really have much of an appetite. But because Britney was so friendly, Adrienne still forced herself to eat some.
Because of Britney and Jefferson's presence at the dinner table, Albert acted normal.
Before leaving, Britney pulled Jefferson aside and complimented him, "Jefferson, I really can't praise you enough for marrying Adrienne and bringing her home."
"I have done a lot of things worthy of praise since I was a child. You don't have to be so excited," Jefferson gloated proudly.
Since Britney was in a good mood, she was a lot nicer to Jefferson than usual. She teased, "Yes, yes, you are the best son. Since you are so excellent, you should have a grandson for me to play with."
With no hesitation, Jefferson immediately rejected, "My Queen, Little Specky is still young, and she still has many things to do. A baby would be a waste of time. Not only is she not willing to have a child now, but I am also not ready to be a father either."
"You are right. Adrienne is still young. If it weren't for her parents' sudden death, she would still be a child now. How could she take on the responsibility of a mother so early?" Britney wanted grandchildren, but she also felt sorry for Adrienne. "Then you two should work hard and live a good life. We'll see when fate gives you two children. If you guys have one, then so be it. If not, there is no need to force it."
"My Queen, how could I be so lucky to meet such a well-educated mother like you in my life?" Jefferson's words made Britney go over the moon. "Okay, okay. Take Adrienne back to rest, don't tire her."
However, Jefferson suddenly opened his arms and gave Britney a tight hug. "Mom, I love you!"
Britney laughed out loud. "Your words have become so much sweeter since you got married."
"Well, then I'll be heading back first. You should rest early too." After that, Jefferson suddenly remembered something. "Mom, you should make more new friends when you have nothing to do. Don't always pour your focus on the old fogey and me. We aren't worth your effort."
"What are you talking about? Mr. Hefner is my lover and you're my son. Between us, do we still talk about what's worth it and what's not?" Britney pretended to be angry and scolded, "Don't talk such nonsense in the future." "Okay, you should rest early." Jefferson didn't say anything more, but after turning around, the expression on his face was a little gloomy. A man like Albert was really not worthy of Britney's wholehearted love.
On the way back, Adrienne thought of what Jefferson had mentioned earlier. She asked with some curiosity, "Jefferson, what disgusting things did your father do?"
Jefferson stared at her and answered, "Just mind your own business and don't worry about it."
Adrienne wanted to know if what Jefferson said had anything to do with the murder of her parents. "You just have to tell me if it's related to me."
He glared at her again and added, "Little Specky, you think too highly of yourself. I understand if you think my matters are related to you, but do you really think that old fogey revolves around you too?"
Hearing this, Adrienne knew that what Jefferson talked about had nothing to do with her parents. Then what was the thing that made him so disgusted?
Since he was unwilling to tell her the truth, Adrienne knew that she couldn't get the answer no matter how hard she tried, therefore she stopped talking and didn't ask anymore.
They were quiet for a while before Jefferson opened up again. "What did the old fogey say to you today?"
