My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1817

In the evening.

It was yet another day without any new clues.

It was as if Jefferson had really disappeared into thin air.

Adrienne had no idea how she got out of the Paramount Criminal Police Team's building. Her mind was so preoccupied that she couldn't even drive. Hence, she took a cab to the hospital instead.

She sat in the cab and watched the scenery that flew by her. In her mind, memories of her and Jefferson together began to surface.

"Little Specky, how stupid can you get? Even with me around, you let other people bully you." This was back when she had just started junior high. She had shortsightedness, so she wore her prescription glasses. Her new look was made fun of by her other classmates and they even snatched her glasses away.

She thought that her classmates were just joking around, therefore she didn't think too much of it. However, Jefferson stormed to her classroom and stood in front of the class. He pointed at the classmate who snatched her

glasses and said, "Adrienne is mine. How dare you touch even a single hair on her head?"

From then on, no one in class laughed about her shortsightedness or dared to steal her glasses again.

In senior year, there was a guy who would write notes to Adrienne. Jefferson dragged that boy out and beat him up. The boy lost, and no one dared to write her notes anymore after that.

Since then, from high school to college, Jefferson accompanied her to and from school every day. He stood as a guardian by her side, and no other boy dared to pursue her again.

Adrienne watched her classmates getting into relationships and going through breakups. But even after she graduated from university, she had never experienced dating.

Out of curiosity, Adrienne had once asked her female classmate what dating was like.

However, the female classmate looked at her incredulously. "Adrienne, you have Jefferson, how can you not know what it feels like to date someone? You must be kidding me."

In the past, Adrienne had never understood why she would know the feeling just because Jefferson was around. After all, she had never

seen him date anyone. It didn't seem like he had any experiences to share with her.

At that time, Adrienne also did not understand why even though so many girls showed their interest in Jefferson, he ignored all of them.

Once, Jefferson received a love letter from a girl. However, before even reading it, he tore it right in front of the girl. "If you want to pursue me, you'd better take a good look in the mirror first."

What was wrong with her?

To Adrienne and everyone else at school, that girl was a campus belle. How could Jefferson think she was ugly? Adrienne assumed that Jefferson must have high standards. After all, he was pretty good-looking himself.

First of all, he was tall. When he was around 18 years old, he was handsome and energetic. Besides that, he came from an esteemed family. He had the right to be arrogant.

Adrienne never knew that the girl he liked was her.

He always called her 'Little Specky' in such a fierce tone and made her angry... She had always thought that he hated her. But to her surprise, he confessed to her that she was the one he had liked all along.

When she heard those words for the first time, she instinctively thought that he was trying to mess with her again. Thus, she hadn't taken it seriously at all.

When she heard his confession for the second time, she started to believe him due to his serious expression. Even so, she still wasn't 100% sure then. She had always thought that loving someone meant respecting them, adoring them, and being considerate towards them.

Previously, she hadn't noticed Jefferson do any of these things.

Now that she really thought about it, it wasn't like that at all. Although he was often fierce to her and ordered her around, they were all small matters. When it came to serious stuff, he never forced her to do anything.
