My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1926

Adrienne did not dare to move. "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me go, I'm gonna sleep."

"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go," said Jefferson with a smirk.

"Don't you still have work to take care of? You should go now, and come back early."

Hugging her tightly, Jefferson said, "Let me hold you for a while longer to recharge. That way, I'll be much more productive when I work."

"What do you think I am?"

"You're my energizer," said Jefferson.

Adrienne stared at him blankly.

It sounded like nothing, but Adrienne's face turned red from his words. She buried her head in his arms, and like a kitten, she rubbed her face against his chest. • • •

Jefferson left, but Adrienne was still in bed. She just couldn't seem to fall asleep no matter how long she had tossed and turned on the bed.

What on earth had happened at Jefferson's parents' house that made Jefferson mad?

Though she riffled through her brain, still Adrienne couldn't come to a conclusion.

She just wanted to sleep. But the more she tried, the more awake she felt.

It was just like what Jefferson had said. She was used to sleeping with someone next to her. Now that the place beside her was empty, she felt like something was missing.

Perhaps she missed his warmth, or his kiss...

While she was thinking, the phone next to her suddenly rang. Adrienne rolled over and grabbed the phone. The caller ID showed that it was Zelson.

It was already eleven o'clock at night. What could he be calling her for?

Adrienne hesitated for a while but ultimately answered the call. "Hello, Mr. Zelson."

"Adrienne, could you come meet me now?" Zelson's voice sounded from the phone. His tone wasn't as calm as it usually was. He sounded panicked, as if something unpleasant had happened.

Adrienne was slightly worried. "What is it about, Mr. Zelson?"

Zelson continued, "Don't ask me now. I'll explain it to you when we meet up."

If it were in the past, Adrienne would not hesitate even a second. However, after Zelson had confessed to her that morning, she felt that it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go out to meet him alone, especially when her husband wasn't around.

She didn't want Jefferson to misunderstand nor did she want to cause a conflict between them, so she refused, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zelson. But if you don't give me a reason, I'm afraid I'll have to refuse you." Zelson's anxious voice was heard again. "Adrienne, you and I have been working together for two years. You should know how well I've treated you. This has to do with my life, are you really just going to hang me out to dry?"

Zelson was a rational person. Sensing his solemn tone, something serious must had happened.

Adrienne was worried that something would really happen to Zelson, so she immediately got up and asked while changing her clothes, "Mr. Zelson, what on earth is going on?"

Zelson said, "I'm at the east entrance to your neighbourhood. You'll understand once you come out."

Outside her neighbourhood?

"What is it that's so urgent?" She thought.

Adrienne did not think much and rushed out. No sooner had she exited the gate that she saw Zelson's car parked at the side.

At the sight of her, Zelson immediately got out of the car and went to the passenger seat to open the door. Before Adrienne could speak, he said, "Get in first, we'll talk later."

Adrienne stopped a few steps away from him and said, "Mr. Zelson, you asked me to come out, and now I'm here. Tell me what is going on."

Zelson wished he could just drag her into the car but he said patiently, "Adrienne, can you get in the car first?"
