Before dawn, Adrienne woke up again.
When she woke up, she instinctively touched the spot beside her but she did not feel any familiar warmth. She was stunned. Then, she immediately sat up. She stared at Jefferson's side of the bed dazedly.
"He's not here?" she wondered.
"Jefferson?"
When she called his name, she looked to the bathroom, but there was no light or sound from the bathroom. He wasn't there, so where could he be?
Had he gone to carry out a mission?
Adrienne quickly grabbed her mobile phone. There was indeed a message from Jefferson. "Little Specky, I am off to work. Remember to eat your breakfast in the morning before going to work. Don't starve yourself. If you don't listen to me, I will teach you a lesson when I come back."
Although it was meant to be a message of concern, Jefferson had written it in such a harsh tone. Anyone else would've felt uncomfortable reading it, but Adrienne knew
what kind of a person Jefferson was. She knew that pigs would fly before Jefferson would say something nice to her. She was used to it so she didn't bother picking a fight with him.
Adrienne's fingers quickly tapped on the screen. "Understood!"
As long as she pressed send, her message would be sent out. However, she hesitated right before sending it.
If Jefferson was in the middle of a dangerous operation, any sort of distraction could affect him. She didn't want to interfere with his work.
Yes, she had better not disturb him while he was on a mission.
Adrienne quickly put away her mobile phone.
Since Jefferson wasn't beside her, she couldn't go back to sleep anymore. She decided to just get up early. Then, she took some ingredients from the refrigerator to make a simple breakfast.
She warmed a glass of milk and made a poached egg. It did not look appetizing, but it tasted good.
While eating the poached egg, Adrienne recalled the days when she and Jefferson had just gotten married.
At that time, she didn't know how to make breakfast, but he had forced her to prepare it. The breakfast she made was really bad. Although Jefferson had scolded her, he ate it in large mouthfuls. Each time, he would always finish everything.
If it weren't for the fact that she had tasted the food herself, his appetite would make her think that her cooking was the best in the world.
Currently, her cooking skills were much better than before, but he wasn't with her.
All of a sudden, Adrienne felt that the poached egg, which tasted pretty good earlier, had become very disgusting.
What was wrong with her?
In the past, she wanted him to stay far away from her. She had wished to not see him for the rest of her life. Recently, as soon as she woke up and opened her eyes, she would miss him if she couldn't see him.
Habit was really a terrible thing!
No!
No!
Absolutely not!
She could not let herself go on like this. She could not rely too much on Jefferson whether in her life or at work. Otherwise, if he ever left,
she would not be able to live on.
