My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1903

Adrienne's voice was still the same as usual; soft, gentle, but imbued with power.

She finally understood what the marriage certificate meant to them, that Jefferson was her man, and he should not get too close to other women.

Jefferson knew that bit by bit, he was slowly invading Adrienne's heart.

His heart suddenly swelled with happiness, like a bright and beautiful flower which was about to bloom.

However, before it could fully bloom, Adrienne's gentle and seductive voice was heard. "No one wants their things to be coveted by others, it's the same for me too."

Upon hearing that, the blooming flower bud in Jefferson's heart wilted immediately. "Little Specky, so am I just a 'thing' to you?"

Adrienne immediately shook her head. "No, you're no thing!"

"What do you mean I'm 'nothing'?" Jefferson asked while raising his eyebrows.

When she realized that no matter how she explained, it would cause a misunderstanding, she panicked. "I'm just making an analogy. I'm not telling you off. Don't be angry."

"Little idiot!" Jefferson said while glaring at her.

In order to please Jefferson, Adrienne immediately changed the subject, "Jefferson, do you have any requests towards me?"

Oh, he did have a lot of requests for her.

In an instant, a plan materialized in Jefferson's mind. "So I'm free to state my request? Will you agree to it though?"

Seeing that his mood might swing anytime, Adrienne did not dare to turn him down. She braced herself and nodded, answering, "Of course."

"Alright, my request is simple. Don't meet or contact Zelson again in the future," Jefferson said bluntly.

Adrienne felt that his request was simply unreasonable. "Zelson is my mentor and my work partner. He's an experienced pathologist too and I have a lot more to learn from him. How can I not meet or contact him?"

With that trump card in hand, Jefferson insisted on being unreasonable till the end. "How dare you use that as an excuse to contact him. Very well, Little Specky!"

Adrienne said, "It's not like you don't understand my line of work. In our field, everyone has their own strengths, and it's not unheard of to ask for advice from other pathologists."

"So will you be happy if I go and meet Eunice?" Jefferson asked again.

Adrienne pouted and grunted in an aggrieved manner, "How are those two the same thing? Eunice is interested in you, and both of you don't even work in the same field, but Mr. Zelson and I..."

"Little idiot, do you really not know that Zelson that guy likes you? Or are you just pretending not to know?" Jefferson interrupted her harshly.

Adrienne answered, "I'm his student, and mind you, his best one at that. Everyone is well aware of my performance during the two years I was studying under him, so, of course he likes me. Otherwise, do you actually expect him to like you?" At that instant, Jefferson felt like knocking her head with a stick. "He's your mentor, but he's also a man. His feelings for you have long transcended beyond a mentor-mentee relationship."

"What do you mean by that?" Adrienne was bewildered. "Then, tell me, how does he feel about me?"

So speechless was Jefferson that he felt like rolling his eyes. He said, "He sees you as a woman, just like how Eunice sees me. Do you understand?"

Adrienne immediately denied, "That's absurd. Mr. Zelson is completely different from Eunice."

Zelson had never asked her out for a date, nor did he order someone to tell her that he liked her.
