My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1859

Adrienne raised her hand and touched her cheek where Jefferson had just kissed her. She felt that her cheeks were burning.

When Jefferson first came here, Quill had advised them to separate business from pleasure. It had only been a while, but Jefferson openly treated her this way. If someone else were to see it, they would be in trouble.

However, she couldn't decide what other people wanted to say. As long as she knew that she and Jefferson had nothing to hide about their relationship, she didn't have to care about what other people think of them.

Adrienne stopped thinking about it and planned to collect the autopsy report. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Zelson the moment she turned around. She greeted, "Mr. Zelson..."

Zelson stood at the door of her office, and his eyes were fixed on her. His eyes were solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking. He did not respond even when Adrienne greeted him. She called out again, "Mr. Zelson, you're back."

"Yes." Zelson came to his senses. He calmed down and responded, "I just came back. I heard that there is a new case, so I came to ask you for information. What is the situation now? Are there any findings?"

"The time of death is confirmed but we are still waiting for the report for the cause of death." Adrienne did not know that Zelson had happened to see Jefferson kissing her moments ago so when Zelson asked about work, she went on to answer without any qualms.

Zelson had been ordered by his superior to attend a conference two days ago. As soon as he returned, he wanted to learn about the rotten body case from Adrienne. However, he did not expect that he would run into such a scene.

Seeing the silent protest from Jefferson, Zelson seemed to understand something from before. He was directed to attend the conference when another leader was being appointed. Zelson wouldn't believe that it had nothing to do with Jefferson.

Jefferson was really wary of Zelson. When Jefferson first joined the Paramount Criminal Police Team, he had been trying to transfer Zelson to another team. Perhaps that was Jefferson's condition for joining the Paramount Criminal Police Team.

Adrienne was completely focused on her work so she didn't notice what was going on between the two. She quickly explained the autopsy progress to Zelson. Zelson listened but he was distracted.

When Adrienne finished, he did not ask about work, but asked a completely irrelevant question instead. "Adrienne, do you really know what it is that you want in your heart?"

Adrienne did not expect this question from Zelson and was confused. "What do you mean?"

In the past, Zelson would always beat around the bush, hoping that Adrienne would eventually understand his feelings for her. Now, he had no time to do that anymore. "I mean your love life."

"Uh..." Adrienne didn't want to talk about her private matters during working hours, and she was also embarrassed to share her relationship problems with a man. She quickly deflected, "Mr. Zelson, that's a private matter. We shouldn't be talking about it during work."

"Adrienne, you are always like this. You'll never do anything personal when you're at work." Zelson raised his hand and wanted to rub her head, but he felt that this was inappropriate, so he quietly withdrew his hand.

Adrienne said, "In fact, I did learn a lot from you. You never do personal things at work, so I have to abide by them firmly."
