My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1921

Britney ignored Jefferson altogether and went forward to hold Adrienne's hands tightly. After at looking Adrienne from head to toe, she asked, "Adrienne, have you been very busy with work recently?"

Adrienne replied politely, "Not really."

Britney looked distressed as she continued, "Although it's only been a few days since we last met, you've lost a lot of weight. If it's not because of your work, then it must be Jefferson. Did he bully you?"

Without waiting for Adrienne's reply, Jefferson butted in. "My Queen, you can't wrong your son like that. I'm telling you, it's already a wonder that I'm not being bullied by Little Specky at home. How would I dare bully her?"

Adrienne glared at him.

Britney patted him on the head with a smile, "You, getting bullied? How many people in the world are able to bully you? Don't think that I don't know what type of person you are."

"Whatever my personality is, you're the one who gave birth to me. It's all your fault," Jefferson replied.

Britney asked, "So your birth was a mistake I made?"

"No, no, it wasn't a mistake. Only an outstanding mother like you could give birth to such an excellent son like me." Jefferson answered.

Britney retorted, "You really have a way with words, huh?"

As Adrienne watched the mother and son bicker, she felt as if she was seeing her own mother.

When Adrienne's mother was alive, like any other child, Adrienne would occasionally piss her mother off. When that happened, Adrienne would only need to hug her mother, call her "Mrs. Carter" sweetly, and praise her for being the most beautiful mother in the world. Then, her anger would subside, and she would look at Adrienne tenderly.

It was a pity that Adrienne could no longer see her mother's gentle and beautiful smile in that lifetime. She could no longer hear her mother call her with that sweet voice anymore. She could no longer see her father's handsome and kind face too... If Adrienne had known that such a thing would happen, she would have stayed by their side all the time, so that she could have even a second more with them.

"Little Specky, why are you standing there like a fool? Let's go in." Jefferson suddenly grabbed her slim waist with his strong arms, bringing Adrienne back to her senses. She raised her head slightly and looked at him. Fortunately, even after she had lost all her relatives, she still had him by her side.

"Little Specky, don't look at me like that, or you'll have to bear the consequences," Jefferson quipped. Adrienne definitely didn't know how seductive her innocent and bright eyes were. If he wasn't at his parents' place right then, he would have embraced her and gone for another round.

Adrienne just gave him a slight smile and said, "Jefferson, thank you."

"Thank me? How do you plan to thank me?" Jefferson asked. Adrienne had only thanked him with her words but Jefferson hoped that she would use her actions to show her appreciation. For example, she could exercise more so that her stamina would improve.

Looking into Jefferson's eyes, Adrienne knew that he was thinking of something inappropriate again. Thus, she did not answer him and just went straight inside. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Albert sitting on the sofa. He did not look over, but Adrienne still felt a sense of discomfort all over. She greeted him softly, "Mr. Albert." "Mm," Albert replied while drinking his tea. In the past, he would try to be respectful towards Adrienne in front of Jefferson and Britney, but he couldn't care less to do that anymore right then.

Britney was unhappy at that sight. She walked to Albert's side, pinched him hard and shot him a warning look. It was only then did Albert look at Adrienne and say, "Have a seat."

"Okay." Adrienne responded, but she did not sit. She tugged at Jefferson's clothes and asked him, "Didn't you say that you wanted to show me something? Where is it?"

Jefferson wondered when he had ever said such a thing.

"My Queen, I'll take Little Specky upstairs to look at something. Let us know when dinner is ready. Thanks!" Jefferson knew that Adrienne felt uncomfortable there, so he took her hand and went upstairs.
